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
Quinzel's POVWhen we get home I am famished. Echo and Mom are waiting for us outside the house, and the moment the car stops, I rush out like a mad mother who has been away from her kid for years on.The moment I get to him, I kneel and I open my arms wide and he crashes into me, and I cover him like he was long lost."I am so sorry," I start uttering, planting kisses on his cheeks, and his forehead, and my eyes start welling up with tears. I promised him. I promised to be safe, but a few hours later I was jailed, with the very man I said I was gonna be safe with. I am sure he is mad at me. I know I am mad at myself."I am so sorry Echo. Mommy is so sorry," I keep uttering rubbing his back, and he, tightens his grip on me."you came back," I pull away and when I look at him, he is crying. I wipe his tears away, and he wipes my tears away."I promised, didn't I? I promised that I trusted your dad, and look, he came back with me. Do you forgive Mama?" he quickly nods his head, and hug
Arthur's POVThe moment Quin leaves with Echo, I go take a bath. My body feels drained because of the sulfide I had to drink. It usually wears off in a couple of days.The last time I was imprisoned was when Accalia was executed. Ares went crazy and took over my body. In honest truth, I let him take over and we made a mess in the counsel house. The elders were mad at me, and I was placed under house arrest and forced to drink sulfide so Ares won't be strong and keep hurting other people.When I got home, Nanna could see that I wasn't my normal self, but she didn't inquire about what she should do to make it better because, in a way, she knew that there is nothing she could have done.When I am done with my bath, I get dressed and inform Sabre that I will be visiting Queen Mother. "Sabre,""Alpha,""For the next month, you are the pack's Alpha and I would like you to act as such," I inform him."But Alpha," he tries to stop me "For Echo. We are doing this for Echo," I cut him off."
Arthur's POV"Accalia," I whisper, remembering the pain that I felt after I kissed Quin, is this related? "When I'm close to Quin, my heart starts hurting, what is that about?" I inquire of her. I don't want to go into the details of what happened, although she probably knows the whole thing.She is good like that too, knowing what she shouldn't."Since her wolf is connected to the moon goddess' wolf, it means it's connected to all the other wolves. Both dead and alive. So a piece of Accalia's wolf is in her, hence why you feel pain again." she elucidates. "What does that mean for me? How do I stop the pain? What do I have to do?" I sigh. This information just keeps piling up and I am not sure what to do with it."At first it's gonna hurt, but once you mate with Quin, the pain will diminish,""You do realize that Quinzel holds tradition and will not mate with me until we both say I do at an altar?" I cut her short, "Did moon goddess maybe miss that tiny detail?" I question sarcastic
Quinnzel's POVAfter my walk with Echo, it's safe to say we may or may have not had a crying session. I know that I was with the kid for only two days, but a lot took place in this short period, and well, my emotions got the best of me.In truth, I am rethinking my whole life outside Ezra. If I were to leave that world and commit to just being an Ezrian citizen, how will that work out? I mean, how will I go about doing it?So without knowing any better, I ask Echo."Hey Echo, if I wanted to be a citizen of Ezra, what do I do?""You mate with Dad." I choke on nothing but air, and I cover my mouth, trying to pretend that nothing happened, because knowing Echo, he will probably ask what's going on.There was no need for this kid to be blunt."Right, okay, let's go home buddy." I take his hand, and we stand up and go home. When we home, mom is cleaning the house and I readily help her clean. One thing I have noted though is that Echo is fine. I am not sure what his daily normal is, or wh
Quinzel's POV"Accalia," I recall, "Am I hurting you now?" I ask as I move away from him a bit. It's one of the things he spoke about and the last thing I ever want to do is hurt Arthur knowingly."No, only when we get close," I nod my head, understanding what he means."Well, that is sortedout then because nothing will happen until we both say I do," I mumble, actually feeling better that one of the things he spoke about is covered, and we don't have to talk about it."And my mom, does she know about all this?" I add, turning and looking at him."No, not as yet." he shakes his head."And are you going to tell her?" I question."Yes I will, but I am still thinking of a way. I am not sure how I will go about doing it, nor what her reaction will be. It's best I do it tomorrow. I don't think I can handle her today if she reacts the way you did.""Makes sense," I agree. "But why would the moon goddess choose me? Winter is my brother, shouldn't it be him? He is powerful for goodness sake,
Nanawe's POV "What do you mean?" my dear husband asks."I mean exactly what I have said, dear husband. Echo's wolf is awakening because he is a hybrid, but his tiny body cannot handle it. And Quin, well Quin is rather a special wolf, Royalty if you may. Moon goddess's spirit wolf resides inside her. She is an original, and Echo is unstable. She is the only one who can heal him." I state. The whole counsel goes on an uproar and I give them a minute to quiet down."Are we supposed to believe you?" Phoenix appeals to."Do whatever you want with this information Phoenix. But we both know I have never given false information to the counsel, and I don't intend to start today." I fold my arms."Then summon her," Claudius chimes in. "Well, the metier is, the world doesn't revolve around the counsel, and right now, she is probably on her way home." I shrug my shoulders."Funny, she said the same thing," Lord Phoenix scoffs. "Well, what can I say, wise minds think alike. Anyways, I have got
