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

Lucinda's POVAfter the whole let's propose thingie near the volcano, I thought why not? Although I must add and say, I am still a bit skeptical. But what's life without a little adventure right? We had to go down and Shadow had to handle some duties, and I went back home to start cooking. I know that we have a cook, but I don't want to just do nothing. I probably won't have any time after I start my Luna duties.I wonder who is going to teach me what to do. It's not like I had that training in Aquarius Waters. It's usually the previous Queen Lunas that teach the coming Lunas but Queen Mother Nanawe never really left the forest after Accalia's death, so I know she wasn't so welcoming of me. And I haven't seen Firedunes Queen Mother, and Shadow hasn't uttered a word about her."Don't you think we should have been introduced to Queen Mother when we got here?" Momentus asks."Yes, but people have different customs and I never heard of her. Maybe we should wait for Shadow to come back a

Lucinda's POV"Wow, you have said a lot," Eliza comments. I am not sure how to respond to that, so I just nod."So, how did my son convince you to be his fiancee?" she adds smiling."Is that the only thing you caught in my whole venting?" I chuckle, relaxing."No, it was the easiest to start with. I won't say I understand your need to kill, but I understand your emotion of betrayal, the discomfort that you are in, and how misused you feel. I get that. You gave your all to this man, and well, he hurt you, and to what extent, you alone know the whole truth about that. You know the deep cut it made and the emotional hit you had to endure, with the pack, with Arthur, even with your wolf. And how you view things, for now, makes sense, and as you slowly let Shadow love you, you will understand how much worth you have to those who deserve you." When she says, it's like a balm to my pain, anger, and hurt. My feelings suddenly feel valid and important, and for the first time, they feel raw and

Arthur's POVNobody had to be told twice as we all rushed to the bedroom where Quin was. When we get there though, her eyes are still closed and she is still sleeping. "Echo," we all look at him in irritation."I swear, her hand moved and she was starting to open her eyes. I didn't wait to see more and I rushed to get you in case she wanted to say something," he tries to defend himself.Mother goes to her side, and checks her pulse. "She's awake," she confirms. The room goes into an uproar, and we start hugging each other. It's like the tension that had built up was unexpectedly tumbling down."She just needs to rest now," she continues."How long before she opens her eyes? " Dawn cues."That's for her to decide. The worst is over, and maybe you going to head home before the week culminates," she smiles. Relief washes over me like a wave and I can feel myself finally breathe. Quin is awake. Echo was right when he said Quin would wake up sooner than we expected, he was right. I pic
