CHAPTER 46— A WORLD OF HER OWN


    Quinn had promised to cook the meat, but then remembered there was no wood to catch fire, nor was


    there a knife to skin the deer. She sighed as she plopped back down against the grass, looking over at


    Zayd who was still asleep.


    How nice of him to have hunted food and not carry anything to cook it…


    In frustration, she hissed, stumping a foot against the forest floor. If she still had her wolf, then she


    wouldn’t have needed a knife to begin with, her ws were sharp enough.


    She felt disadvantaged, dependent, she could barely protect herself now, which is why she had to turn


    to Zayd; someone she wanted to be done with.


    Running her hand down her face, she looked away. But as she said before, her current helpless


    situation was all bestowed upon her by herself. She’d been a fool, and she’d just realized it.


    By epting the poison from Kathrine, what had she expected? An unbreakable bond between them?


    A healthy mother and daughter rtionship?


    Quinn scoffed at herself, that might’ve been what she’d expected, but all she got out of her foolish


    decisions in the end was a damage that was evesting.


    She wasn’t a werewolf anymore, wasn’t an outstanding beta or an omega…she was but a human, and


    she didn’t feel like she belonged in this world anymore.


    She’d only be degraded and disrespected, she’d beughed at, shunned…the only ce for her now


    was…was…


    Quinn swallowed as she squinted at Zayd…her ce wasn’t by his side, it never was. As Kathrine said,


    everything that made her strong had been taken away from her. She’s nothing now, so why was she


    even moving forward?


    Everyone around her had told her lies that still burnt her chest…why must she depend on the same


    people who had caused her pain? She realized it now, her ce wasn’t with Zayd, it wasn’t with


    another pack, it wasn’t with humans…


    It was by herself. She didn’t suit either worlds, so why live in them? She needed to create her own


    world, one that only included her and one where she’d always fit in despite the circumstances.


    Standing to her feet, she swiped her red hair behind her ears and walked off into the woods…only


    looking back at Zayd once more…


    ‘Goodbye…mate.’


    Her heart churned as she walked away, she wanted so bad to turn around and go back, but she


    quickened her steps instead, destroying the mere thought of doing it.


    Soon her steps turned into a desperate run. She needed to go as far away as possible, Zayd would


    wake up soon, if she wasn’t careful, he would find her.


    So to make it harder for him, she tore her clothes, tying it in knots against slim tree limbs as diversions.


    She tied them in different directions, creating a mirage and hoping he’d follow them all before he ended


    up on the path she was truly on.


    Quinn then headed towards the east and then the south. She did not know where to go…but she didn’t


    really care where she went, she just needed to find a ce where nobody could find her.


    So she ran until the morning turned into the afternoon and the afternoon turned into the evening, and

    she continued to run even as sweat wet her forehead and her neck and dripped all the way down to her


    stomach. She took rest stops, but they allsted for five minutes or less.


    However, when she found herself bing weaker and weaker and hotter and hotter even though the


    sun wasn’t shining…she knew something was wrong…


    With her…


    The breeze was heavy, and it was cool, and yet she was burning up. It felt like she was in heat, but she


    knew she wasn’t. The crave for sex wasn’t there, yet still, she felt like she was tied over a stove of


    burning coal.


    Her running feet came to a sudden stop, and she fell on her bum against the ground, breathing heavy


    and hard. She could rest, she’d run a long way, Zayd wouldn’t possibly be able to find her.


    Right…?


    Quinn looked around, high on alert. Her throat felt dry, she was thirsty, thirsty and hungry…but in her


    weakened state, how would she find food?


    Hours ago, she’d been certain that running away was the right decision, but she wasn’t so sure


    anymore. She stayed at the silver moon all her life, only leaving for missions and pack duties as its


    luna. At twenty one years old, she neverpletely fended for herself before and never thought she’d


    have to.


    After all, how could she have been able to predict this future for herself? Back then, she’d thought


    she’d be with Jeo until she died, she’d thought she’d still have a family; a sister, a father and a mother.


    But right now, she neither had a mate nor a family, and just having herself to look to…was new to her.


    Whenever she needed advice, she’d go to Delh or Derrick, but now she had to make the hardest


    decisions by herself. This only meant that life would be much harder to live, especially since she’d kill


    her own wolf.


    But she’d survive…that tree she used to look up to back home wasn’tpletely dead…it could live,


    which meant Quinn could do the same.


    Groaning, she rolled onto her knees, wiping the sweat from her forehead as she forced herself onto her


    two feet. She then staggered forward, breathing through the pain, fighting to more than just live through


    it.


    That was until a hand grabbed onto hers…and she knew exactly whose it was. The sparks, the


    warmth…


    She twisted around with wide eyes. “How did you find me?!”
