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
Arthur's POV By the time I was finished with her, I was able to fish out a thing or two from her. Name: Oregon Octavia Age: 15 Winters old Parents: unidentified Pack: Firedunes is the suspect, but there was a touch of Airing Dal. So far, unidentified. Intentions of breaking in: confusion. That is what she said. Flashback "Why are you here Oregon?" I ask again. She now had half an arm, and she was uttering a string of expletives I didn't think exist. "she is coming," she laughs, her mouth dripping of blood. She wipes off with the blood with her other hand. "Who is coming?" I press, switching on the chain saw machine again. "Aren't you a little too curious Alpha A?" she smiles, leaning on the wall. "You do realize that I could cut the hand right?" I question, not sure if she could handle it. She can't die without telling me what I need. "Oh I'm sure dear Alpha," she chuckles looking up at me, "Although I hope that when you take the other arm stop breathing." I place the ch
Arthur's POV When I get home, I immediately dress before going into the inner room, as the sun is starting to rise.I meet Nanna in the kitchen, and she starting with breakfast."Morning Nanna," I kiss her on the forehead, going to the fridge to take out some orange juice."Grey," she smiles."How is she?" I ask, taking a glass, then I go seat on the island, and start pouring it."Better than I thought she would handle it," she states. She immediately knows who I am talking about. "Echo?" I add, taking a sip."Enjoying her time with her." She starts taking out eggs out of the fridge, breaking them into a bowl, whisking them up."You know what I mean Nanna," I interrupt her. I know she is trying to do. She is trying to put in a good word for her daughter."His temperature is normal, and his pulse more stable." she clarifies. I smile, slightly satisfied."I'll hit the shower and come back. Maybe they will be awake then." I notify her."Okay." she nods. I stand up and walk towards Echo'
Quinn's POV He shut me out. Before I could even explain, he just stopped me from talking as a whole. I mean, I know that this conversation was not going to be particularly fun and games for him, and I know talking about Accalia probably still breaks his heart, but I had to.I would never hurt Arthur knowing fully well how much a death of a loved one cost. Especially one you were not ready for. I understand that, really I do, and his outburst, maybe I understand that too, but at the same time, I'm annoyed that he yelled at me in the first place. It's not like I wanted to annoy him and he knows that, but Echo is important. If anything, Echo is like the only remaining part of Luna Accalia, and that alone should deem him more important than just being the kid of an Alpha. He is a product of a loving couple that at one time, promising each other a forever. Surely that should mean something. Does he really just care about Luna Accalia only?I open the water in the tub, as I just want to
Quinn's POV I was not happy. After my little conversation with Arthur, I was edgy, and not in the mood to talk about anything nor about anyone. My mind kept going to what might happen in the counsel meeting that I was about to attend in a few hours.Would they really go extreme with the punishment? Will I be part of that punishment? Will Arthur be disowned, what about Echo, what is to happen to him, or am I overthinking this?"Are you okay?" it's my mom disturbing me. Arthur had gone out after he hugged me to be okay. For a second, I'm not going to lie, I was okay. But then he left, and I wasn't okay anymore. The thoughts came back, and they were not very accommodating. I managed to get dressed, and there was a decoration of food waiting for me. Echo had already started eating, and chatting with my mom, and it was like everything was normal, until I came in the room and I brought in my damp mood, and everything changed."Yeah, I just spoke to Arthur a few minutes ago and he said we
Quinn's POV "You lied." it was Dawn and I was on the call with her. We were still at the table, just wrapping up eating."Huh?" I burp, covering my mouth."You said you were gonna call as soon as you got there, but it's been a day and I didn't know if you were dead and if I should put up a missing persons report, what happened to the calling plan?" she goes out at me.I grasp. I had completely forgotten that I had to call her. Truth be told, I have been thinking of ways that we could avoid punishment, and survive, and Dawn although on my mind, was the least of my worries.I came here with good hope and have been directly dodging bullets. Lucinda almost killed me, the counsel thinks I'm part of Arthur's crazy vendetta. I just came to heal a child and maybe get to love the father as the bonus, but no, I get to break up a family, and may even die in the next 24 hours.I don't even have a boyfriend. Not that I've never had one,"I hated Luke," Lia interrupts. "He was stuck up and full o
Quinn's POV "Do you think what happened to Luna Accalia is happening to her?" I can hear my mom ask this from afar but I can't bring myself to open my eyes."No, that can't be," Arthur replies. "The setting would have to be the same. Something triggered her outburst," he adds. "She isn't a hybrid, Accalia was, and that looked like a trigger, I don't think she would just do that on her own." he defends me, and my heart melts right there. Although I threw his kid across the room, okay, let's not talk about that right now."Who was she talking to on the phone, and do you know what they were talking about?" he continues."It was a lady, and before the outburst, she had a dispute with Lia." it was Echo, and I didn't even know he was around. "When did you get here?" Arthur appeals to him. "And who is Lia?" "I've been here father." he goes back to the distant relationship that they had before and my heart smashes a bit. "And Lia is her wolf, I've seen her.""She's awake," Echo canards in
