Arthur's POV

Our 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

    Winter’s POV“What is Quin like?” I asked Dawn.“Quin is a fiery ball of life,” she smiles. “She is all good thingspretty and kind and loving, man Quin is a lot of things,” Shechuckles. “She’s the best mother to our daughter, a good friend andthe best doctor Cleopatra has. Being with her has given me reason tocontinue to fight and keep going. Not just for myself, but for myfamily and for Marie. She has been my motivation on dark gloomy days,rainy nights and sad moments,” She glees with a joy that I could neverexplain, tears filling her eyes.“She is all the good there is in the world. She is shiny moments,gracious times and fulfilled promises. She is loyal, has given meendless support, kindness and is selfless. She puts others first timeand time again, even at the expense of herself and health,”“Really?”“Yeah,” she looks at me, “She came here for Echo in a heartbeat andwhen her dad died, she couldn’t take the call because she was in asurgery. But still she, -”“What do y

    Quin’s POV “So, what now?” Arthur asks. “Can I see her, can Ares see her, what happens?” He starts bombarding me with questions. “We wait. I don’t know how long it will take for Lia to come back, but I know that she is back and as soon as she is back, I promise to let her see Ares.” I explain. “I am sorry Arthur, I am so sorry,” I apologize, tears falling. Arthur was fine without me. He and Echo were doing just fine and I came along and invaded when he clearly could live without me and Lia, and I broke their hearts. I broke his heart and Ares’ heart. They didn’t deserve that. “Why are you sorry?” he wipes my tears. “I broke your heart. It was never my intention. I was just trying, -” “It’s okay,” He cuts me. “It’s not your fault,” “But it is. You were happy, with Echo and Ares and Lucind-,” “Don’t,” He stops me. “Don’t mention her. You are here, in this moment and it means I get a second chance with you. It was supposed to be this way. Us going to the city, meeting you lik

    Lucinda’s POV Food arrived when we least expected it. I was chatting my life away with Sydney-Gin, asking about her hobbies and what she likes doing. I found out that I am not the only foodie who enjoys good food and staying at home. To the fair though, it’s not like I had enough freedom, so I am not sure if I really like staying indoors, or I was forced by circumstances. When the food arrived, it was more than I thought. It was a ten-piece chicken meal, with a 2-litre coke, 2 large fries and 6 buns. I wasn’t even mad, but I was equally shocked that a human can eat that much. “We going to finish all of that?” I question. “Nope, but we shouldn’t limit ourselves with how much we can eat. Good food remember?” she replies. “Fair point. When did you start working here?” I start digging in. “Two years ago. I came in as a marketing intern, although I’ve shifted departments twice,” she takes a big bite on her chicken. “Why?” “Extra training. I got better at my job, got bored and sta

    Lucinda’s POV We reached the city a few hours ago and Shadow has been working for the past 6 hours. The plan was that he was to go to the office; I wait for him whilst he is having his meetings, then we head out. The meeting was supposed to be an hour, two at best, but it’s been six, and I don’t want to interrupt him. I am hungry to say the least, but that can wait, I’ve been hungry before, at least for 5 days straight. I’ve been sitting here, and I’ve browsed through his mini library, his mini bar which only has juice and fresh smoothies, I’ve had two of those. The banana and the strawberry one, and I am still hungry. I worked on my new improved plan on what I want to do: 1) Dye my hair light pink 2) Eating strawberry ice cream 3) Walk on the beach 4) Go hunting with the pack 5) Spend a spa day with Shadow 6) Do a manicure and pedicure 7) Buy new clothes 8) Have a princess day- Do what I want day 9)Have a buffet of meat 10) Buy fur products for Momentus 11) Go on joy ri

    Arthur’s POV When we I get to the house, Dawn and Winter are sitting with Marie. I can’t sense Nanna and Queen Mother. “Where are the others?” I ask. “Nanna is with Quin, and Queen Mother went back to her house,” I nod my head and head to my room because I know that were Quin is. When I reach the door, I can’t bring myself to open door. My eyes still welling up, and I take deep breaths. “Man up,” I tell myself, “She needs you. Quin needs you,” I whisper to myself. I open the door, and Nanna is seating next to Quin. The moment she senses another presence, and she looks up. “Nanna,” I whisper. “Arthur,” her voice breaks. It’s like she was holding on this whole time and the moment she sees a familiar face; she breaks down. She stands up and rushes for a hug. She holds on tightly and in that moment, I also breakdown. Maybe it’s all the pain that has been around that I didn’t process, but now in front of this woman who has been my mother, a friend and someone who cares for

    Arthur's POV "Arthur, are you okay? Please, come home." I hear Quin whispers in the mind-link. It's like she is trying to console me whilst trying to cope, and I can't say no to her whispers. Her heartbeat feels faint, but it also feels constant. I am with Sabre at the edge of the Island. I let Ares run as much as his heart could and when he was done, he changed back to human form and shut down. I wasn't mad at all. He is processing in his own way and so am I. Losing Lia is something that I don't think I will recover from soon. Losing Accalia was the biggest blows I had to take in my life, but losing Lia, losing her felt like a nail in the coffin and I don't think people just recover from that. It will take years to just breathe, let alone think of another wolf, even if she belongs to Quin herself, and Echo, I don't know how much his tiny heart can take honestly. Between hurting, and having found a new mom, seeing him lose that new mom, to having to find her again, only for her
