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

After meeting with Magnum, I came back and I have been seating on the couch that is in my bedroom, waiting for her to wake up.30 minutes ago, the kitchen brought in food, and since I don't know what she liked as yet, I asked the kitchen to make a bit of everything. Her plate, therefore has roasted beef, with some mushroom sauce, potato wedges, and some mash, then there is grilled chicken, lamb kebabs, creamy spinach, 3 slices of pizza, and vegetables. The whole time I was seating in the room, I was just admiring her beauty. She has thin eyebrows, tiny freckles near her eyes, and platinum lavender hair that was just on her shoulders. She also had delicate tinted pink lips, and her olive skin was as clear as day. Moon goddess took her time with her, and for the first time, the wait was worth it. In her sleep, she starts flinching, tossing, and turning as if she is having a bad dream. I move from my cha

    Lucinda's POVI cried. I cried for Arthur. I cried for a man who didn't care about me, who didn't care that I would still be fine after he had left me. But in the comfort of it all, Shadow was there, my very own Alpha mate.When I cried he held me close. For the first time, I felt important. For the first time, I was important. I wasn't the second choice, nor was I the substitute option. I was the only true option."I am gonna kill him," Shadow growls, as he tries to stand up."Please don't go," I stop him."He hurt you, he humiliated you, he threw you out of Aquarius Waters, doesn't that deem him to be my enemy?" he inquires of."It does," I nod."Then it's final. We attack tonight," he states."You are gonna start a war Shadow." I try to reason with him. I am hurt, that much I can say, but should we hurt so many people because of Arthur?"A war that is worthy of its cause. Alpha Arthur disrespected the Luna of Firedunes Pitt, do you know that is a crime punishable by death?" I coul

    Arthur's POV "I mean, it's not really a bad idea," I utter. "What?" I could hear the disarray in her voice. A part of me wanted to be angry at her for bringing this whole thing up, but Ares reminded me that she is trying. She has been trying. To know the pack, to learn things about the pack, and ultimately, to protect the pack. I am certain that this woman pressed at all ends, would die for her people. And although I am still conflicted about what's going on with her wolf, this also deserves someone who is trying to put in the effort and the least I could do was to meet her halfway. "I mean, he does have greater strength than other wolves his age, he needs to be monitored, and the person who knows this more than anyone is me, and I can then monitor him," she adds, and I nod my head. "This could work, this is promising." I try convincing myself."Really?" she went from, skeptical to excited that this plan might work."Yeah. I will tell the counsel this tomorrow and we will take it

    Shadow's POvArthur's kid is sick? Well, isn't this great? Maybe I will get the honor of killing him too. I know I will be satisfied with that part. Even better, if Arthur were to be executed. "Next," they call out, and I stand up straight, ready to greet the counsel.When I get there though, it's a full house instead.Well, isn't this fun?"Alpha Shadow, how may we be of your assistance today?" one of the helpers ask. I think his name is Isaac."Good morning counsel, I would like approval to have a duel with Alpha Arthur," I utter."Why?" Lord Phoenix."He humiliated my mate, and treated her like waste, and like a real man, I would like to sort this out as real men would," I clarify.Although I had plans of ambushing Aquarius Waters and killing as many people as I could, with Arthur and Quinnzel on that list too, when I woke up and saw my mate with bags under her eyes, I realized as much I was angry, this fight was hers to win. This revenge was hers to smile over and I couldn't tak

    Quinzel's POV "Do you think I could get more time with Echo before I leave, maybe I head home tonight instead?" I ask.I really wanted to spend time with Echo, and just bond with him, and maybe just ask him a little too many questions."Sure, I don't see why not." "Thank you,'"You know, you not entirely leaving Ezra. You are our people's Luna, and although you will be away, you can still call and visit, and I will also do the same. I still want to get to know you. My mate with platinum hair, how did this whole hair thing happen anyways?" he asks."I dyed and straighten it," I chuckle."It looks so real," he comments."Huh?""No, I mean, it looks like you were born with it and all.""I will take that as a compliment." I smile."As you should, I do think you are beautiful Quinnzel.""Are you okay?" I chuckle, as I place three fingers on his forehead."I am as clear as day," he rests his head on my shoulder, closing his eyes, but suddenly, he opens them again in haste I am startled. W

    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,

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.

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

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.

    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
