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
Quin's POV The audacity. That's what this lady has, the audacity. For starters, where did she get the permission to enter someone's house without them being around? Second off, lingerie in the middle of the day, seriously? Do people still do that? What is she, a side dish? Is Arthur really that blunt? I could feel my body radiating with anger I never thought I could reach, and I was ready to fight knowing fully well I would never kill a fly. "I asked you a question," Miss lady girl starts again. "And I asked you the same thing." I speak between my teeth. "Mommy, can I please sleep?" Echo whispers in his sleep. "Okay baby, I will get you to bed just now." I kiss him on his forehead, and smile at him. It's like my stars were aligning, and I was so happy, even if it was for a milisecond."Since you here, I kinda think you should know a thing or two about this place" I continue, "Do you know where Echo sleeps?" I ask. "Excuse me?!" She exclaims, making her face look funny. I chang
Quin's POV I keep running deeper into the forest, my heart beating out of my chest, and I can hear Arthur calling out for me at a distance, but I don't look back, nor back down. My eyes are blurry, and I can feel Lia wailing with me. I try to stop the tears by wiping them away, but all I get is just these bad sobs, that are hard to control."Why?" I scream out aloud, trying to understand, because, what the actual heck is?I look back, trying to see where Arthur is, when I drip over and fall. The impact of the fall is greater than I anticipated it to be, and my head ends up hitting the log that was across the pathway for no reason at all. I don't bother getting up, and I lay there, losing myself in the darkness that hurts greater than the concussion I knew I was going to get when I woke up. *** I am awakened by my daily alarm as it's time for me to eat. I have alarms for my eating schedule as when I'm working, I sometimes forget to eat, which is medically proven unhealthy, and can s
Quin's POV "Wait, but if you left Winter in Windazare because of you know, dad, then why are you here, and how in the world are you Arthur's nanna?" I query, I mean, it doesn't make sense that she is here instead of Windazare."I couldn't stay in that place Quin, it hurt so much that your father was mating with someone else." she explains. "So I divorced him, and I moved. It's not like I was rejecting him, I was just committing in my heart that although he was mate, I deserved better."When she said this, I thought of Arthur and our situation, with him having a fiancee and how it was hard seeing them together, although they were not technically together together when I saw them."Was it easy? To divorce dad, move out and choose to live here?" I ask."Are you worried about Arthur?" all I do is nod, and she takes my hands into mine."Honestly, no, but I survived. Maybe it was because I didn't have a wolf to stop me, nor die when I did, but when I signed those papers, it hurt as hell I'
