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
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
Quin's POV "Why did you do it?" Arthur asks as we are being moved."Do what?" "Save me, lie, why did you?" he repeats."We are a team. If you go down, I go down and the pack will go down. Plus too, if I didn't, the punishment was gonna be there, maybe even worse." I try to justify."Well thank you," he whispers.A part of me is happy that we got a lighter sentence, or I hope we did because that would have been dumb to be locked up with him, having the same sentence he was gonna get in the first place.I was happy and sad for making that dumb decision of saving him and winning myself free jail life. Dumb kid Quinnzel, I'm certain I wouldn't do this if I was human. Dumb werewolf pull.My heart was beating out of my chest as we were being escorted to the prison cells. I've never been arrested, let alone in a place that will potentially be more gruesome than a normal prison. The whole time, my hand was intertwined with Arthur's, and I could tell he is calmer than me.Before we could l
Arthur's POV At this point, everything that happens in is the hands of the moon goddess because there is no way I can try and save this situation.I don't have outside contact, nor can I mind link Sabre because of the sulfide and the elders' ability to block the outside links to interact with the inside ones."Arthur, I can hear Echo," Quin interrupts me, in a whisper. Her voice in a semi-shock. "What?" "Echo, he is talking to me through the mind link," she continues."That's impossible, the links are blocked here. You can't get a link in or out," I state. That's impossible."I can ask him something only the both of you guys know so you will see that I'm not lying," she implies."Okay," she keeps quiet for a second and then says, "Malva pudding with strawberries." My heart stops for a millisecond. That's the dessert Echo had with Accalia before she was arrested by the counsel.I look away, and I don't wrap my head around them being able to bridge the mind-link."Do you think it's
Lucinda's POV True to his word, some men I've never seen escorted me out of Aquarius Waters and to say I wasn't happy to leave would be nothing but the truth wrapped in all my sorrow and anger.My heart broke every second I took a step from the pack house, and it was like the further I moved away, the more memories I was letting die out. When I passed Arthur's house, I asked them to stop for a second. In the driveway, I could see the top of his roof, and although I never stopped dreaming that one day I would rightfully be the wife of the man who owned the house, that dream crashed and burned a few hours ago.And I was close, so close, but then Doctor Quinnzel happened. With her ashy platinum hair with loose ends and awful blue eyes, she came in and took everything away from me. My love, my life, my home, everything I've known and grown to fall in love with, and adapted to. Does she know, or have any idea how hard it was to unlearn the way I was living in Windazare and be of the pe
Shadow's POV "Magnum, we going hunting," I inform my Beta, whilst getting ready. It's at noon now, because I preferred running when the sun was starting to go down. After all, the Firedunes pack is closer to the volcanos and in the day it's hotter than an average normal day compared to other packs. "Should I let the others in on it?" he queries."Yes, please," I reply, and then I sense his presence in the room."Sire, may I ask something?" he requests."What is it?" I turn and look at him. "You say that you go hunting every Thursday, but when I remember correctly, this whole idea of you hunting on Thursdays only came up with Queen Mother when she had a dream about you finding your mate only when you hunt that day, but it has been ten years Sire, why haven't you given up?" It is true. One day, Queen Mother came to me with this dream that she saw my mate coming to me, and it would be Thursday and she would be carrying luggage as if she was kicked out of wherever she is going to be c
Quin's POV "Arthur, what is heat?" I think it's high time I spoke about this heat thing. "Why are you asking?" he inquires. "Because everyone I've asked said I should ask you, which I think is kinda annoying if you asked me." I voice out my opinion. If anything, they have been going around this heat thing for way too long and it was starting to get on my nerve. It's not like it's a plague, or is it?"Right. Umm, well, heat is when your body is reacting to certain chemicals that are being released and,-""Arthur, what is heat in simpler English?" I stop him before he goes any further. I know that he is trying to confuse me with chemical things, but I just want a simplified version of it. I don't want the fancy version that will still leave me confused. I am a doctor, yes, but I would rather we draw the line between work and home relations."It's when your wolf wants to bond." He tries again."Like cuddle?" I tilt my head, not getting it."No, like mate in all sense." He clears his
Shadow's POV Turns out, the dragon's heart is underneath its stomach. The whole time we were testing to get its neck, not knowing that's where it was strong. It was after V was almost burnt and but thanks to his good flex, he was able to duck, he saw the viper's purple diamond-shaped heart glowing. I then realized that the whole time, the viper was trying not to show its vulnerability and jump in any way.Once V showed us its heart, I don't know how it sensed that we were not attacking cluelessly, but we now had a point of attack. With that, it just ran off before we could do more damage. "Man, that would have been a good kill." Utters Raider, getting mad."Well, maybe it wasn't our kill after all. " Amarillo adds."Don't try to sound gracious, we were ready to kill it just a few minutes ago," he hits him on the shoulder, and he comes to my side. "It would have been nice to have its heart as a neckpiece," he continues, as he slows down and touches his chest. Vaughan just chuckle
