The Alpha's Substitute Luna 32
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

Arthur's POV Her eyes glowed, not the shade of grey that I saw a couple of minutes ago, they glowed power pink. I tilted my head and caressed her cheeks, and for a second, they changed shades from pink to red."Daddy?" Echo calls out, and Quin pulls away from me. Her face is flushed, and although she has melanin dark skin, her cheeks had a shade to her that showed that she was blushing. I still hold on to her, letting her smell and the taste of her lips linger, and as savoring that was, I felt my heart hurt. Not just a normal type of pain that I can get over, but sharp shooting pain that felt like my heart was breaking.Accalia.I felt her. I felt her beside me and it felt like I was cheating on her, even though she was gone. So when my sense kick in, I let go of Quin and leave without saying a word, leaving her both confused at shocked Echo.The moment I get outside, I stand there for a second, my body feeling all sorts of heat, energy, sparks, and tingles, the kind I've never felt,

Quin's POV Rejected, that is exactly how all of this feels like. Why, would he entertain me, make me look good in front of Lucinda, do all those nice things that made my body do flip jacks and kicks, only to push me away and pretend that I don't exist?Like, doesn't he feel the sparks and the energy and the heat?"Mommy, are you okay?" it was Echo. He is the one that helped me get to the attic. Although my senses are heightened, after the kiss I shared with Arthur, everything just started to smell like him, and for a second, everything just felt the same.So, my baby Echo helped me because he saw the whole thing. "I never asked, where did you see my wolf?" I divert of the said question, and I query about something else."I saw her in a forest," he declares."What forest?" I kneel in front of him. I'm pretty sure I've never shifted, and I don't think Lia can come out on her own. "When I had a bad dream, I saw her. She is black and white," I nod, but he further adds, "but she had a b

Quin's POV "No, no, no," I place mom's phone on the table and run to Arthur's forbidden attic. I pass Echo along the way and for some odd reason, he follows me without saying anything. When I get there, I don't knock, but I just barge in and this time, Arthur isn't shocked. "What do you want now?" he utters. He is seating on the couch that is looking at the door, with a drink on his hand. "Dawn is on her way with the cops. She is an hour away from here," I don't care about his sass at the moment because I know If I don't do anything, and merely take this as payback for treating me like trash, then this will go down. The legacy that they have built in Ezra will go up in flames and that amount of blood, I don't want on my hands."What?!" he is now up on his feet, yep, his eyes shows anger, betrayal, and hurt all at the same time."You led your people here?" he takes big strides toward me. "What, no! I wouldn't do that. She tracked my phone when Lia started talking then when I thre

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
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 83
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
