All Chapters of Dancing With Fate: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I kicked Derek in the chest into the padded wall in the gym. The force moved him 15 feet with no ability to stop me. My strength was beyond anything I was used to. I figured it was due to my birthday and my first shift under the full moon was upon me. Derek grunted on impact, “You know, I know other more enjoyable ways for me to make it up to you. This was cute the first 5 times, but now you're starting to piss me off.” He grumbled wincing as he stood up. I wasn't used to his playful comments. But I couldn't help myself. I wanted more. “Well it may be unenjoyable to you, but I am having fun kicking your ass.” I taunted. A growl rumbled in his chest, and he darted towards me. Shifting mid-way, he pounced on me. His wolf's eyes glowed amber. I fell on the padded mat looking up at him. “That’s cheating! I said, no shifting. You know I haven't shifted yet” I scolded. His black wolf licked my face protesting at me. “Ugh okay okay get off me.” I squirmed, pushing him off me. He got of

Quinn POVShortly after Derek shifted and I saw the monstrous appendage between his legs, we decided to head back to the pack house.As we entered the packhouse I was greeted with a squeal before arms wrapped around me. Rachel’s sweet scent filled my nose as I embraced her back. “I’m still mad at you for not saying goodbye, but I’m so happy to see you!” She gushed in my ear. I couldn’t help but smile and hugged her back.“I missed you.” I whispered in her ear. “I missed you too.” She responded by holding me at arm’s length. For today’s outfit choice, Rachel sported a black crop top with the words "bite me” faded across her chest along with a pair of ripped black jeans and Converse shoes.She looked over my shoulder at Derek and then back to me with a devious smile. I mouthed “don’t ask” she hummed and gave me a wink before holding out her arm to shake Derek’s hand and introducing herself. “And who are you?”Before he could speak, I interjected, “Rachel, this is Derek; Beta Sam’s So

Quinn POVI gave my mom a quick hug before leading an impatient Ryan and Rachel to my room. Charles sat on my nightstand like the true protector he was. Ryan squealed and hugged his toy as if it had been years since he held it. “I’m going to go see that Derek dude and show him Charles!” He gave me a side hug before bolting from the room. As soon as he was gone, Rachel narrowed her eyes on me and locked the door.She pointed at me and held a wicked grin. “You missy have a lot to update me on!” I chuckled before flopping on my bed. Rachel jumped on my bed begging me for details. I filled her in about my parents, the school, the weird attacks, and the. Finally what had transpired between Derek and her. “Well then. You certainly have been busy.” Rachel joked. “I can tell you right now my life is nowhere near exciting.”She bit her lip. “Are you nervous for your shift?” “Yes.” My voice soft.“Talk to me.” “I’m afraid of my power.” I looked up at her. Tears formed in my eyes. “I’m af

Quinn POVAs the time got closer to midnight, my body started to feel like it was buzzing accompanied by whispers in tongues I could not understand. Dinner and dessert went smoothly. Mandy had gone above and beyond with decorations while I was outside with Derek. My parents and Thomas all seemed to get along. No tension in sight. Close to midnight Kat showed up. “I wanted to offer help if I needed, sweet girl.” Cupping my cheek. I smiled in appreciation. My mother put Ryan to bed as the rest of us filtered outside. Mandy, Elan, Rachel, and Frederick all went to the outdoor sofas to relax and enjoy the energy the moon was providing. Walking to the forest line, Derek followed. “You don’t need to come with me.”“I want to, this is a big deal little wolf.” I couldn’t help but blush at her new nickname for me. “Okay but for now hang back with my parents. I want to try to focus.” He nodded and walked to the small group of adults congregating in the backyard. I stretched my neck before

Thomas POVSomething felt off after Quinn shifted. The air had an electric charge to it. I could not shake off the feeling that someone was watching us. After everyone went inside after cleaning up the deck area, I surveyed the area around the packhouse and came up empty handed. I mind linked the patrols to stay extra alert. A pair of warm, delicate hands wrapped around my stomach. I instantly relaxed as my mate’s scent enveloped me. I turned around in Kat’s arms and looked into her bright eyes. “What are you still doing out here Alpha?” Her voice was like music to my ears. I don’t know how I stayed away from her for so long. As if sensing my unease, she placed her palms on my chest. “What is it, Thomas?”I looked over her head towards the woods and then back down to her. “I don't know. Something feels off.” I wrapped my arms around her waist. “It is expected, my love. Quinn not only shifted, but her magic also manifested during the shift. The energy that came off of her when she
