Arthur's POVQuin dropped a call on me and when I tried calling her again, nobody was picking up. I start to panic because I don't know what is going on.Before I can call her again, Queen mother calls and I know it's something to do with Quin so I respond on the first ring."What happened?" my heart picks up pace."Quin, get to her. She is dying," she doesn't say anymore and ends the call. I don't try to understand what is going on, but I know that I have to follow what queen mother is saying."Daddy, mommy isn't okay," Echo utters. We were on our way to the penthouse and we planned on visiting her during the day when we have settled.I turn to him and ask, " Where is she?" I am not even sure if he can find her, but his powers exceed my understanding, and I hope within those powers, he can find Quin. I don't think I can handle another heartbreak, I am not ready nor stable enough for that."She is in school," he clenches his chest, and I can tell he is in pain."What is going on Echo
Quinnzel's POVI wake up in a garden. The one that once belonged to my house when my dad was still alive, well stepdad. The high difference between this garden and the one from home was that this one had a lot of color. There were flower beds of tulips, Tuberoses, chrysanthemum, boat orchids, Madonna lily, Dahlia, and Acanthaceae. Their flowers were also hanging on the trees like it was draped around the trees. It seemed well-maintained and it radiated a lot of delicate ambiance and calmness. I walked around a bit and there wasn't a soul in sight. There was also a pond filled with a lot of fish. There were high trees surrounding the place, and it seemed well protected. I was well, and okay, until I remembered that I wasn't here. I was in my car, in pain, dying.Oh my gosh...Am I dead? I look around, panic starting to kick in. "Well, isn't that a good question?" A woman wearing a Scarlet red tutu dress that was layered with lace appears. She also has a flower hair band on her jet-
Arthur's POVOur ride to Ezra is filled with tiny sobs from both Dawn and Echo and halfway through the ride, I feel a shift. Like a weird shift. I feel Ares disconnect from me for a moment, and then I feel empty. But it wasn't a bad disconnect. It was comforting, but at the same time, it was like something was changing from within. I am not sure what and where that change was happening, or why it was happening, but after a minute, I feel calm, like nothing had happened."Ares," I call him out."Yeah," I notice his voice is now stable and wasn't as weak as before."Did you feel that? The calming wave?" I question him."I did," he states."Do you think it has anything to do with Acai?""I am not sure, but I don't feel like I am fading anymore. Like, the pain isn't bad as it was, but it's like I am in the middle of death," he explains. "More precisely, Acai isn't dead anymore, just floating in darkness, but safe,""How?" Does that mean she met the goddess and she bought her back to life
Arthur's POVWhen we get home, the gloomy side of Dawn is back. She is no longer hyped about the scenery. It's like the realization hits that her friend is half dead. She looks at Quin, and tears just voluntarily come out and she holds on to her like it's the only thing she knows. I notice that Echo wiped away the blood that was coming out of her ears and her hands weren't that cold anymore."Thank you, son," he nods and we take her inside. Nanna Ave is waiting by the door and the moment she sees her, she goes into shock mode. "Oh my gosh, no...it can't be no," she tries to grab Quin but shock overpowers her, her knees fail her but Sabre catches her before she touches the ground. We get inside, with Dawn still holding onto Quin's hand, and we take her to my bedroom. When we get there, Queen Mother is already waiting for us. I place her gently on the cover and I look at her for further instructions, but she chases us all out of the room."Why?" I ask her."The room needs to be quiet
Lucinda's POV"Excu..se me?" I stop. Marriage?? I don't recall talking to Shadow about any of that. Is he just going to do things without my permission?What did I expect? He is my mate, yes, but Alphas do what they want. Arthur is a good example of that. When they are done with you, after having used you, broken you, they toss you aside."Do you know when Alpha Shadow decided on this?" I ask, starting to walk again, but my pace went from excited, to just flat-out disappointed. "Yesterday evening. After you fell asleep. He went to the pack house to talk to Magnum. I was coming from visiting my mom and I kinda overheard them talking and,""What exactly did Shadow say?" I grab her arm and stop. She is startled and I immediately let go of her."I am sorry. What did he say?" I repeat."Well he,-he" "Meriya..." Shadow calls her out and she stops. We both turn and look at him."I see you doing your best and keeping it quiet." I can tell his remark is a bit stark."I, well..." she starts f
Dawns POVWhen Quin changed, there was something about what she was saying she was convinced of. I mean, yes I don't easily believe what I hear, but after getting to this place, something was convincing about what she was saying. Not the whole thing, but maybe a touch that she wasn't lying. I don't think she would make up a whole new people. For one, she is here and not in the hospital. That alone means that this place may have some healing energy to heal her. Quin looked dead, and all they doing here is having her under blankets with no UV fluids or drips, that alone says a lot. And well, there is also a thing about her being the Luna. Arthur's mom and Arthur are convinced that Quin is one of them and she is the queen. I don't know how they came to that conclusion, but props to them for getting a city doctor, one of the best might I add.If she is queen, what happens to her job in the city? What happens to us? Does she come and stay here forever and never come back and I get to rai
Dawn's POV"Arthur, we need to talk," Queen Mother calls out to her son."Yes," he comes into view. "We need to look for Dawn's mate," she states and Arthur looks at me, then back to his mom."Didn't you know her mate though?" Arthur asks."Right?" I roll my eyes. I am glad I am not the only one with that assumption. "What gave you the impression that I knew her mate?" she looks at both of us respectively."Didn't you go on about the speech about moon goddess whoever that is, and her telling you about my mate and all? Shouldn't she at least have given you a hint about who that is?" I ask."Exactly what I would think," Arthur agrees."Well, for your information, she didn't and now we have to travel to all three packs looking for her dear love, well two packs," she states matter of fact. "You can gather your people in a minute Arthur,""Like as in now?" same question Arthur, I asked her the same question. At this point, I and Arthur have the same brain cells. "Yes, of course now. The
Dawn's POV"Did you tell her that if she rejects her mate he dies?" I hear Arthur whisper."Arthur look at her, she is barely holding on by an inch. I can't be putting that on her conscious," Queen Mother tries to stand for me."And what about the werewolf that dies?" "That will be her choice to make. You can't force love Arthur. You know that better than anyone," she leaves. What did she mean when she said that? Was Arthur once rejected? Did he die and then reawaken again, or did he suffer heartbreak?"I know you are awake you know," he interrupts me and I open my eyes."How did you know?" I mumble, seating up."Your heartbeat sold you out," he takes a seat next to me."How are you feeling?" he asks."Better. How long was I out?" my head is still hurting, but it's better than before. "For about 30 minutes." he hands me some water and I gladly take a sip before I hand it back to him."Is it true?" I whisper, knowing that he knows what I am talking about."Yes,""Did you do it on pu
