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,

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

Quin's POV "What deed?" mom inquires of. "Nothing that important, Echo continue," I try to shut that whole conversation down. "Wait no, go back, what deed?" my mom appeals to me again. "We kissed end of the story," I snap at her. "Doesn't seem like it," she mumbles. "Your eyes changed color. They were pink this time." My dear Echo adds. "How?" she invites, "What?" I mumble. It also came as a shock to me. I don't even feel it when my eyes change color."I don't know. But her eyes change color when she is feeling a certain way," He elucidates to my mom."Go on-," she adds. "Can we focus please?" I break in. I'm not feeling chatty about what went down in that room. "Oh we focusing alright, Echo, proceed." My mom interrupts."Mom!" she can't possibly be for real right now. What can she gain about talking about what went on in that room, or my eye color? Goodness, my eye color. Is that why Arthur moved away from me, he noticed them change into a shade he didn't recognize."Somethi

Quins POV "No, I can't let you go again. You barely called when you went there. What makes you so sure that you will check in?""I will," it's my mom, as she gets out of the car."And you are?" she tilts her head, and you can see it's like she's trying to find the resemblance between me, her, and Echo." I am her mother. The least I can do is this one right thing. Allow her time with her people and when she is ready, she will come back," she explains. I can tell she is shocked, and trying to process the whole thing of why my mom is even here in the first place. She looks at me and I shrug my shoulder."Fine," she sighs, shaking her head. "I don't know what's going on, but it already looks like you going through the most," she states.All I do is nod because I've been going through it."Just be safe okay? The next time I don't get what's going on, I promise to pull through without a warning," She doesn't say goodbye, but turns, and goes to the cops, they talk for a few minutes, she
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 42
Arthur's POV We get out of the car, two men are waiting for us. We get close, and they both bow down in courtesy."The council is waiting for you inside," they inform us."Lead the way." I urge them.They don't need to be told twice, and they lead the way even though I'm well aware of these grounds. I attended this place way too much before Accalia died.I can still hear her echos in my heart, her pleas for her innocence, and their final judgment to execute her. "What's your plan?" Sabre asks."To annoy them until they forget about the whole reason why they even invited me here," I elucidate."I'm sorry to ask Alpha, but why?" "If I were to explain and tell them about the whole break-in, they will easily dismiss me, and I don't want to tell them that this will start a war, because I don't want a war to start. But if I'm being pushed to the dead end, you best believe, I will not hesitate to retaliate."We continued our walk in silence, the walls of this place are dark and gloomy, th
