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'
Quin's POV "I think those are enough questions for the day." Arthur barges into the room, interrupting us. "How long have you been outside listening to us?" I query. "Long enough to know that you are starting to cross the line," he emits. "Not really no," my mom intercedes for me. "Exactly," I add. "Nanna, can you please wait outside? I need to talk to your daughter." he addresses her, and my heart sinks. I wasn't ready for the talk, not after finding out I have a brother and a father, who are both alive, and that my mom was here, in a place that didn't belong to humans, and she was lying the whole time, which I have forgiven her for, but still lied about being a nurse, and that my buried father was her best friend. Let's not forget Airing Dal, a whole nation of wolves that don't have a leader, come on. Who would have thought a place for a people left out by the world, still existed? Whilst I'm still letting my thoughts run wild, my mom stands up and starts to leave. "Are yo
Quin's POV "Arthur, Miss Quinnzel, I heard you wanted to talk to me about something." she looks at us respectively. We were now in the living room, and I was seating next to Arthur, and Lucinda was opposite us."Yes we do," Arthur replies."What would I interest you guys in?" she sits back, folding her arms."Our engagement," Arthur adds."What about it?" she smiles."I'm breaking it off." the moment Arthur said that I moved closer to me, not sure how Lucinda was going to react."Right, and that is happening because?" she isn't shocked or bamboozled, if anything, it's like she was waiting for that. But at the same time, I do feel that this is just the calm before the storm."Quin," Arthur, takes my hand into his, then continues, "She is my mate." he continues."So I've heard." she clears her throat. "So, I just become an afterthought, just like that?" she asks. "What do you mean by that?" Arthur questions. "I mean what happens to me now Arthur? Do I go home and pretend that we both
Quin's POV"Now that this is out the way, I think we should take things slowly, in terms of us, and how that is going to unfold," he states. When he says that, my mind is taking a note of him saying this relationship is so on, but we still need to figure things out, like how he is going to introduce me to things, the pack, and when I will be Luna. In short, when he said that, all I could hear is wedding bells.Lucinda was now out the house, and it was looking a mess. In all of this, I later learned that we woke Echo up. He was with my mom, and when all of this was over, he came out crying, and immediately came to hug me. His father felt betrayed, as this was rather the first time someone was chosen over him. Arthur asked my mom to take Echo to the pack house, so we can clean, and talk.And talk we will.I have a million things I want to ask him, and a million things I don't understand, things that Lia told me that I need more understanding on. Like, what is heat? How does the Luna thi
Quin's POVApproximately thirty minutes after Arthur's departure, my mom comes back with Echo and a guy I didn't know. I later learned that his name was Akela, and he is the pack's Omega.I also got to learn that Akela was more open, playful and fun to be around compared to someone I have recently came to know off. When my mom came back, the house was already clean, and I was trying to find my way around the kitchen. It's been a long day and the only thing that I had eaten was breakfast from the hotel.It's been a long day indeed.I found macaroni, mince, mushroom, cheese, tomato paste, and some spices and my new personal favorite on the stash, mint. Luckily, it was enough to whip up a meal for all of us. Macaroni with meatballs in tomato paste cheese, the last meal that could be whipped with the ingredients of this house.They came in when I was just about to finish. I also learnt what I made was Akela's favorite meal. A few things I noted from Akela was that he had a wife and two da
Arthur's POV After my conversation with Alpha Winter, I immediately traveled back to interrogate the kid. It's rather confusing that the hybrid just disappears into thin air. I could say I was speeding, as within minutes, I was in Aquarius Waters. Our prisons are situated underground for various reasons, one, we don't want the cubs running in the prison, and getting into chance of being killed, number two, in any chance the prisoners break out with the one way that they possibly could as the prison is situated in such a way that it's covered in silver on walls on the poles, and it's not minimal silver, but silver sulfide, there aren't many casualties, hence way it's at the end of Aquarius Waters. We add that to their food, which in turn weakens the prisoners, and they can't do anything even if they want. I get to the prison and I am greed by Fenris, best fighter after me, Sabre, and Akela respectively. "Alpha," he bows down. "How is the prisoner?" I enter, and he follows. I don't
