QuirinaIt's easy to see myself living here.The pack is a decent size, the people are wonderful, almost everyone either waved at us or came and formally introduced themselves. There were a lot of members who told me how nice it would be to have a Luna around again. They told me that Alpha Bryce is incredible, but it's not the same as having a Luna.As the pack house came back into view Bryce asked, "So, what do you think? I know it's not as big as the Moon Stone Pack."I shrug, "I never expected it to be."He asks, "Have you thought anymore about how to make this work with our packs> I know you're meant to be Female Alpha, but... it's hard for me to picture leaving this place."I nod, "I understand, just like it's hard for me to picture leaving the Moon Stone Pack."He breathes out, "The Moon Stone Pack would be better. Especially for our people. My parents are going to be angry because of us. They're going to try to have my brothers gang up on me. If I have everyone leave to the Moo
BryceMy heart dropped as Quirina ran from me as fast her legs could carry her. Did she think I was going to hurt her? What could cause her to have that kind of reaction?I want to follow her, but I feel like she would get angry at me for that. I breathe it, this whole mate thing can be so hard to navigate. I'm scared of making the wrong steps and causing damage in the relationship we've created.I see Rowan, Winnie, and Rory in the distance and walk over to them and ask, "How are you guys doing?"Winnie smiles softly at me as she says, "We're fine, Alpha, thank you."She instantly glances around me and frowns, obviously disappointed that I don't have Quirina with me. I ask, "Can I get your advice?"Rowan's brow furrows and he asks, "On what?""Well, Quirina and I have only known each other for like... two weeks, if that. Things have been great for the most part. But we just had a fight and I'm worried if it's normal?"Winnie laughs, she freaking laughs and shakes her head as she says
***TW for this chapter!***QuirinaI ran until my legs ached. Emotions waves over me making me want to cry from all the different feelings swirling inside me.I shouldn't have run from Bryce, but I can still feel my powers right under the surface and I am not willing to risk hurting him. He means too much to me and honestly, I'm scared that if he saw what I was capable of then he wouldn't want me anymore.As I reach a clearing I stop running and breathe out, letting myself feel my power, feel my emotions, letting them control me for a moment. I can feel the force fields come forward surrounding my hands, waiting for an opportunity that I would allow it to go to it's full power. Where I am is safe and peaceful, I am okay. There's no reason for my powers to be present.I breathe out, and slowly the force fields disappear, and the tension in my body leaves.Or, at least it did, until I heard leaves rustling behind me. I turn quickly, but I don't see anyone. I narrow my eyes, I know that
Tony The moment Quirina screamed I knew it was her. We were all the way off in Peyton's territory, the scream hadn't been loud enough for Peyton to hear yet. Was it intuition or because I'm her brother? Who knows? It doesn't matter, all I knew is that she is in trouble and I took off running to find her. Peyton was confused as I took off running, but she blindly followed me. It made my feelings for her grow even stronger the fact that she already trusted me so much. When she heard the piercing scream she asked, "What is that?!""Quirina. Come on, we have to get to her."I'm almost to the border, but Peyton shouts, "Wait! We have to get permission first."I wait, bouncing on my heels as Peyton's eyes cloud over showing that she has mind linked with Bryce and she nods as she says, "We're good."I rush across the border, not sure where my sister is at, but knowing I need to find her. I find Bryce first along with Rowan, Winnie, and Rory. I run straight to him and ask, "Where is sh
QuirinaWhen I open my eyes I see pink clouds that look like cotton candy above me.I blink, thinking that surely the clouds would turn back to white but they never do.I feel numb and I move my fingers and feel the softest thing underneath me. I look down and see the the ground is made up of green velvet.Well, this is weird.I push myself to my feet as I look around, I know that I'm not back in the normal world, but I'm not quite sure where I have ended up.I breathe out, okay, okay. I just need to rethink what's gone on so I can figure out how to fix things.Everything comes back to me so fast. The argument with Bryce, running off, being cornered by his brothers, them attempting to rape me, and then... I screamed. And I disappeared.Fuck, I've made a mess of things. I probably broke their eardrums and that's assuming that I didn't do anything worse! They're going to create a horrid case against me and how dangerous I am.Wind twists around me as the emotions rage through me. It mak
QuirinaEveryone is treating me nicer than I would've expected. I feel horrible. I'm nothing more than a murderer.But... no, that's not right, that's not the way they see me.Peyton said that she is on my side and would do anything to protect me if I needed it. Bryce looked at me with such tenderness that it made me want to cry as I have never felt so enveloped in his love before. Tony looks concerned about me and hasn't left yet.Tony! Tony... there's something... what is it? There's something I need to tell him about. Something that he might get upset with me over. But for the life of me I can't think of what it is.I get in the shower quickly wanting to wipe the dirt and disgust of the day away from my skin. I won't take too long in here, just long enough for me to somewhat forget what almost happened to me.As I put the shampoo in my hair I can hear screaming in the distance. My body tenses, I need to hurry up and find out what is going on.I rush through everything, but I find t
AnnabelleQuirina has been gone for a week now.Her parents still haven’t returned.Franklin and I acting like we’re the bosses around here is… weird. I don’t like it at all. Instead of it making me more comfortable with the thought of being a Beta it’s making me wish that I could just be a normal wolf with normal responsibilities.I collapse on the couch of the family room on the Alpha’s floor. We’ve been in and out of their office often and right now I just need a reprieve from my duties. It doesn’t take long for Franklin to join me. Plopping on the couch beside me with his head tilted back towards the ceiling with his eyes closed. He asks, “How are you doing?”I look back at him, but he’s not looking at me. His eyes remain closed, his jaw is clenched tight, his whole body seems like it’s tense. I say, “I could be better, how are you?”He lets out a soft chuckle, “Yeah, I don’t like acting like the Alpha. I’m ready for Quirina to be back or her parents.”I nod my head slowly, “I agre
QuirinaI don’t know who I took with me. I feel like screaming or talking to them, but it’s like I’m unable to form words. All I know is that I can hear their heart racing and the heavy breathing mingled with mine. The darkness that we’re suspended in makes me almost fearful of the dark. I’ve never been scared of the dark before but being thrust into darkness for the second time after so much trauma and then feeling practically paralyzed from how weak I felt… I don’t want to experience that again.I tried to slow my heart rate and calm down, hoping that this would help bring me back into the light. And… it seemed to work. Only as the light came closer I saw the cotton candy clouds again and suddenly everything came back to me.Nick and Raven. The people who claim to be my biological parents are here and they’re trapped because of me. It’s my fault.Now, whoever I just brought through the darkness is here too and I have no idea how to bring any of them back out. To be honest, I don’t
