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'
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 33
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
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 34
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
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 35
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
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 37
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,
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 38
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
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 39
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
