Sierra's POV I am awakened by a forest search. It was still early in the morning and since we have been searching for good food to eat in these woods, both I and my daughter was tired.We have been running and hiding since yesterday morning, although we are supernatural beings, I'd like to add, we have lost touch. I slightly touch her and she awakens. "Mother." she is now in full alert mode."We need to leave. They have found us." I mutter, packing up our makeshift bed and pillows. Yes, I am a werewolf, but before that, I am a witch, and I prefer comfort above all else. Oregon doesn't need to be told twice, and she is up. She is a hybrid too, the very few that are still alive. I take out a potion for noise alteration, it will deafen their ears to hear us moving so we are not easily caught, and I mix it with the invisible potion so they can't see us. I can sense them. It's five He-wolves with great strength and good fighting skills. I could easily drug them and knock them out, but
Arthur's POVI end the call, with Sabre, and I call Nanna Ava. She replies on the third ring."How is Echo?" she answers."Nanna, he is fine.""You sure?" her voice shows of all her vulnerability."Yes, he is alive and kicking." I look at him smiling. "Listen, Echo still needs a doctor and I found one for him." I go straight to business. "She is a human doctor, and I'm not sure how the pack is going to take it." I explain."He needs a doctor? you losing me here. Why would Echo still need a doctor, what was his last diagnosis, and why would you take a human doctor?" I can feel Nanna pacing around the room now."They haven't found anything wrong with him. Well, more like they can't find anything wrong with him and Echo is tired of being here and misses you and Sabre. Mostly, he justs wants to come home.""What about the pack doctors?" she asks."In Windzare, for the awards and training," I brief her. "But the penthouse, why doesn't the doctor treat him there, why risk the pack?" she be
Quinn's POV Because how? How was it so easy to get Mr. Alpha to agree with taking me with him? You wanna know? Lia happened. Lia had a nation of things to tell me and after telling me to brace myself, she wasn't lying. Honestly, it was a bit too much and I asked her to only tell me what I needed to know. She went off after that. She told me about me having a wolf inside me which was placed the by moon goddess and that Mr. Alpha was my mate. Now that explanation and how it works just had my jaw on the floor. One perfect half, the tingles, the sparks, the jealousy, the coffee pine water smell, and my eyes changing colors, it all made sense now. These were all connected to finding my mate. My perfect half. And it gets better, the wolf in my dream, that's Lia. That's the wolf I turn into when she gets out physically. Honestly, when she told me that, I freaked, and our conversation had to take an end as our lady nurses who were radiating nervousness and frightened entered my office. I
Quin's POV "Excuse me what?" She repeats. "I think I'm about to be wedded to the guy with the kid from yesterday," I explain. "No you not about to do jack, you hear me? because that would be nothing but absurdity. You don't just meet someone, like him, or fancy him then decide on the whim of whatever that you are going through that you are going to marry him just because he smells like coffee or whatever your little reason to be. This isn't the 1950s. You don't just decide on crazy things and expect them to make sense. The chain of events in things has to make sense, and you haven't been making any since you met this guy. It's like all logic went out our little bathroom window from our apartment and it's the most confusing thing you have ever done. So what now, you gonna say he is going to divorce his wife just to be with you, are you crazy Quinnzel?" she just goes off at me."I will be away for three days. His son is still not okay, I volunteered myself to be a kid's doctor?" I in
Quin's POV "My uncle?" I reply skeptically. It sounds more of a question than an answer instead. "You lying, he isn't. I will ask you one more time," He take a step forward, and I swallow hard taking a step back, "Who was that?" his eyes are glowing, and a part of me feels it's not him talking to me, but his wolf. "A close friend of my dad's." I blurt out. I don't know why, but seeing him that angry for no particular reason kinda made me just wanna spill out everything because I don't want to put myself on the 'It Spot'. "It's not that girl, he is just jealous. Mates tend to be possessive." Lisa explains. "But Blake is like my dad," I tell her. "But he doesn't know that," she states. "True," I mutter, pouting. "Sorry for making you worry, and I promise, Mr. Blake is like a father to me so nothing is going on." I apologize. "I don't care." he goes back inside. I sigh before following him, because what the heck is his problem? Does he have a dose of time-of-the-month mood swing
Quins's POV "Where to?" Arthur repeats. "Down town. Just go straight and at the end of the junction, take your right. It will be one of those apartments." I was still mad at Arthur for reprimanding me, so I was sulking in the little corner all by myself, knowing fully well he probably didn't care. We have been driving around town, neither of us talking to the other. "You own one of those hefty apartments?" He seemed shocked that I could afford that place, I mean, I am a doctor right? I am supposed to have a nice apartment that belongs to me. "Yes, I got it from my inheritence that my dad left for me. He left me something to continue and live on as if he was still alive." I can feel his eyes on me, and the longer they stayed, the more I got discomforted, yet special. "And an expensive apartment would one of the things he would want you to own?" His eyes are both on the road, then back to me. "Eyes on the road," I sit up, and I look at him, "You seemed shocked, but no. Not sure if
Arthur's POV "Are you really going to do this to our mate?" It was Ares, the very wolf that I wanted to converse with. "What do you mean?" I sit back, waiting to see what he throws at me."You are fully aware of why she was crying, it's because you said you were engaged," he states the obvious, but I chortle instead. "That's a lie," I grin. "She probably has other things going on." "She has a wolf, I felt it when you touch her," he informs me. A part of me was happy when he said that, but another was confused. Is that why I could feel two unstable heartbeats? Is it because her wolf hadn't awakened as yet? Before I could even say anything to Ares, he adds, "She is starting to distance herself, and I don't know about you, but I don't wanna mate, not yet." he shuts off, leaving me to my own devices. She wouldn't do that right? I mean, rejecting me means that she also lets her wolf die, is she ready for that heartbreak, the pain?She wouldn't reject me, I shake my head hoping I am r
Quin's POV We got to the car, and I load my luggage in the boot, whilst Arthur helped Echo buckle up. We finish almost at the same time, get in the car, and Arthur drives us home, I mean, their home, for now. "How long is the drive?" I ask, trying to make conversation."About two hours and a half at most," he replies. "That long? And are we just going to sit here without any conversation, or are we going to talk about something fun?" I look at both of them with anticipation."I wouldn't porter myself to be a fun person Miss Quin. But I can suggest that you sleep this ride out, and when we get home, I can introduce you to the others after showing you your place of rest." "Whatever," I mumble, looking outside, holding onto my seat belt. "Maybe we could play a guessing game?" Echo suggests. I look at him with excitement, "How do you play it?""I will I describe something, and if you get it right, you get to be the one who makes us guess," he explains. "Well, how about we all just
It It Arthur's POV When I get to the door, I stop. What if Winter felt wrong? I know that twins have a connection bigger than mate bonds as they are one. So if one is anxious, the other would feel it as if they are there, if the one is hurt, the other would hurt in the same spot. But what if? Just, what if he felt wrong? "I will take over your body and enter this room if you don't," Ares warns me. I open the door and there she is, standing right there, touching her hair. My heart stops for a second. "Are you real?" I whisper, dropping my phone. Quinnzel pauses, and her heart picks up pace. The moment, it does, I rush and crash into her, hugging her a little too tightly. I take in her scent, it's still as intoxicating and strong. I grin, feeling a sense of completion with her around. "I am real," she coughs. "You squeezing too hard," she adds, and I loosen the grip."Sorry," I mutter, still hugging her. We just stand there, holding on to each other like the world is ending. I a
Quin's POV"Quin," I hear a voice calling me in the darkness and I stop. The voice is monotone, and I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman. I look around with my glowing eyes, but I see nobody. I look at Acai, who also shakes her head. But what I know and am certain of, somebody did call me, and it gave me chills. But I shrug my shoulders, and pretend we didn't hear anything and we continue walking. I am not sure how long I've been out here, and how much longer this has to go on.All I know is that I haven't been hungry or had the urge to use the toilet nor have I felt a tiny ping of wanting to sleep. This is discouraging because it feels like I've only walked for a day or two max and this might take more than that. "Quin," the voice calls out again. I stop yet again and look around to no avail, starting to get freaked out. I try to take a step to see if the voice calls out my name again, and this time I am not surprised, but freaked out. "Quinnzel O' Conner!" the voice beams,
Winter's POVIn approximately ten minutes, we meet Luca. From a distance, her medication spread is already ready to be utilized. Luca has an SUV, and her boot space is enough to assist Marie. We stop the car when we meet hers, and before Dawn gets out of the car, Luca gives Marie the first injection through the window so she she able to breathe. We then open the door, Dawn rushes to place Marie in the boot. Luca then injects Marie with a UV fluid on both arms, switches on a portal fan, and places the fan over her head."What's she doing with her?" she looks at me, anxiously."She's trying to get her energy back. Have you never seen her being treated?" I cue. "No, the doctors back in the city don't allow that," she clarifies. "Well, I always want to know what's happening. But don't worry, our daughter is going to be okay," I try to console her, whilst Luca opens her onesie and puts allergy pads on her chest."What are those?" she continues."Allergy pads. It's to level her breathing
Lucinda's POVAfter packing, I head down, and Shadow is on a phone call with someone, well, more like he is yelling at someone over the phone. "Don't tell me that Lucien! I specifically told you that the investors were coming in today, therefore the Maimi deal should be finalized by then," I could feel his anger radiating through the whole room, and I know that he feels my presence so he tried to finalize the call in a much calmer tone. "Can you please get this done before I get to the office? I will stall the guys. Is that possible?" he asks the other person whose name I believe is Lucien. He nods his head then and he ends the call."I can hear your heartbeat you know," he utters and I come into view. "Hey," I sheepishly laugh, waving."You ready to leave?" he inquires."Sure," I come down with my suitcase and he takes it and carries it for me."Sorry about that," he starts as we head towards the car."Sorry about?""The yelling. I was frustrated at Lucien. There is some work I as
Lucinda's POVAfter Queen Mother leaves, I feel lighter. Like I have someone I can trust. There is something about her that makes me want to tell her how I am feeling, and how much whatever I went through hurt me and she doesn't come with a judging heart or a mocking face, but she brings warmth, and for me, that is something I've always craved for, a friend. I hope she is one. I focus on what she asked me for. The wishlist. I sit on the couch and I start thinking hard and wide. What's the one thing that I've always desired? My list would be long if I would start from when I was a kid. But before I can jotter down anything, I call Meriya to help me get a pen and a paper. She comes back with it and I sit on the island to start my list. It doesn't have to be realistic, I tell myself, but it has to be what I've always wanted to do. Queen Mother said she would be a genie for one day, and maybe she could help me achieve these dreams.She doesn't have to help with everything, I mean, I th
Eliza's POVThe past two days were well spent. Lucinda is an interesting child indeed. Besides her life story that she thinks defines her, her character, her personality, her smile, and everything good reminds me of Rue. How she could have grown, how she would have smiled, what type of wolf she would carry, the strength she would possess, and with all that, how I would want to protect her. How I would want to see her happy. How I would want her to have all the love that she proceeds her.And when I look at Lucinda, I want all of this for her. The love, the happiness and the joy, as the Luna of this pack, and as my son's fiancee. I want her to have the best mother-in-law. I can be her in-law by the rules and regulations of this world, but I know that by now, our relationship as a family will be anything but quiet, random, and normal. It's gonna have flare, sparkles, and tiny big promises and everything she has ever wished for as a child, and what she desired as she grew up. "Roughly
Nanawe's POV"So, this is what is gonna happen gentlemen and esteemed ladies, I am going to go home and ask Miss Dawn, the future Luna of Windazare if she would fancy staying in Erza for a month, and if she says yes, consider yourselves lucky, and if not, well, good luck trying to convince her to stay. I mean, she already doesn't see eye to eye with the counsel since some people, I won't mention names, are so keen on having her killed." I clear my throat. "Nanawe!" Claudius calls out."Yes love?" I smile at him, tilting my head. No matter how angry this man is with me, I am still head over hills for him, I still act like a child. "Are you trying to rebel against the counsel?" he raises a question."Oh goodness no. I would never do that. This couple just reminds me of someone I didn't save before. I guess you could say I am trying to make amends for it," I look at Arthur, trying to not get emotional."Is this based on your emotions?" Phoenix replies and I can feel his aura being enra
Dawn's POVAfter getting ready as Queen Mother has instructed, I feel the need to visit Quin. Baby Marie will be staying with Nanna Ave, and Sabre will be keeping an eye on Quin and Echo. The rest of the house will be going. So when I am done, I quickly head to where Quin is sleeping. When I get there, Sabre is standing guard and he freely lets me in. I enter the room and Quin is just lying there. Her eyes are closed and for the first time, I want her to talk. Even if she will go on about neurosurgery or whatever she does, I just want her to open her mouth. I feel my breathing getting choked up, but still, I will myself to get closer to her. When I am within arm's length, I take her hand into mine, and I sit down, tears rolling down my eyes. "Hey Quin," I smile. "How are you, girl?" I wipe my tears. "So about the mate thing that you spoke about, well, you were right, I have one too," I chuckle. "Crazy right?""You know Winter? Yeah, his my mate, and he is the same Winter whom I've
Winters POVShe came for me. Yes, I know she was probably asked by my mom to check up on me, but the fact that she agreed to do it meant a lot to me. I am not sure how to respond to what my mom did to me, and in a way, I am trying to put myself in her shoes, but I am failing to comprehend how she did what she did and still lived without regret in her heart. For her to separate us to keep us safe is one thing, but choosing to let us stay separated is a choice she could have undone. I could have met my sister in the city if she wasn't sure how she would turn out, and we would have had a bond. I would protect her with my life and maybe then, I would have found my mate sooner. But no, she did what she did, and I don't know how to look at her without anger and disappointment in my heart. "Dawn, if your mom did what my mom did, what would you do?" I ask her. "I would slap her," she utters, seemingly contemplating her response."What?" I wasn't expecting that."That would be my first tho
