Chapter 100
Den
I’m at a loss as to what I can do to get through to Quinn. She won’t even see me, and all
I want is to be there for her. How can I fulfill my promise to my cousin if she won’t let me
in. She has been through so much in her short life, and if what Gavin told me before. he
passed away is true, then she has a fight ahead of her. I know Quinn is strong, but I
think this could be the one thing that can. break her, so we need to get her out of her
room and back to doing. what she does best, leading her pack and being Asher’s
mother.
When Gavin told me about his findings, everything started to make sense. I can only
assume that Luna Stacia kept this secret from Quinn because it is too dangerous if it
were to get into the wrong. hands. It definitely exins why she never found her mate.
From my knowledge of the Dire wolf, they don’t find their mates until the age of twenty,

and that is why Quinn’s mom left the letter for her to read the day before she turns
twenty. It is also when she wille into whatever powers she may have. I am now quite
certain that Quinn is my fated mate. The bond that we have had over the years. and then
the syncing of our heartbeats; the attraction between us, and I can’t forget how Duke is
whenever he is around T.
‘It’s about time you figured it out. I thought you are supposed to be one of the greatest
Alphas. Pfft,’ Duke muses, ‘You’re as dumb as a sock of rocks!’
‘Seriously, Duke. How was I supposed to know, when none of the signs are really there?
The Dire wolf is supposed to be a legend.”
‘All legends start with some form of truth, Den… remember that.’

‘Well, if it is true, and we are mates, we won’t know for another five months yet, and we
can’t tell her, so all we can do is keep her safe as much as we can.’
‘I’m already nning on doing just that, and by the way, Quinn will turn twenty-years-old
in four months, twenty-eight days, nine. hours, forty-six minutes, and seventeen
seconds.’ Duke states smugly.
I roll my eyes, ‘Nobody like a showoff, Duke.’
‘Not showing off, just stating facts.’ He gives me a wolfish chuckle.
There’s a knock at my office door and my mother pops her head in. She’s been taking
Gavin’s death hard as well; she’s always loved him like a son, “Den, are you going to
try and see Quinn today?”
I sigh heavily, “I n on trying.” I’ve tried seeing her every day since Gavin’s funeral, but
she has refused to see me, or anyone else for that matter.
“Good. I’m hoping Sara will be there, so we can check on her as well. She hasn’t been
answering my calls and that good-for- nothing Beta can’t tell me anything.”
“Of course, Mom. n on leaving in about an hour, I’m just waiting for Holden to get up
from his nap, so I can take him with us.” I’m hoping that seeing him will help to snap
Quinn out of the state she is in.
“Very well, I’ll be ready.” She shuts my door, but it opens once again with my Beta’s
presence.
“Uh, one of the Elders are here.” He states.
I look at him confused, “I never received word that they wereing.”

“That’s because they have been trying to contact L. The Elder that performed the
ceremony at Quinn and Gavin’s union was concerned because your Luna was not at
your side.”
“Un-f*cking-believable! My cousin dies and all they are concerned about is a Luna not
being at my side?”
Carter holds his hands up in the air, “Hey, don’t shoot the messenger!”
I wave it off, “Yeah, I know, I’m sorry. I’ve just got a lot on my mind.” I trust my Beta with
my life and with any secret that is mine, but I can’t tell him about Quinn’s; that is her
secret to tell.
Trying to get the Elder to leave without talking to L was a chore, but eventually he
leaves, and I’m able to collect my son and mother, and head over to the Dark Moon pack
house.
There’s a buzz all around as soon as we enter the territory, and border patrol seems to
be in a very good mood. I can’t fathom what would be the cause of such joy when their
Alpha just passed away almost a week ago. Even as we drive through town, everyone
seems to be smiling. It’s not until we pull up to the pack house and see Cam, the new
G*mmaing down the front steps that I ask why everyone is in a good mood.
“She’s back!” The G*mma grins.
“Who’s back?” I scratch my head, still not following.
“Alpha Quinn… or Luna Quinn, I mean. She came out of her room this morning barking
orders and taking care of the pack’s finances. She was even ying with young Ash
before he went down for his nap.”

Cam shrugs, “I don’t see why not. I don’t know what happened to get her motivated
again, but I’m d she’s back.”
“Hm, I guess I will go see if she’s willing to see me yet. I brought Holden, hoping it would
bring her out of her grieving state for a while, but it seems that I didn’t need to do that.”
“Oh, I’m sure she will love to see him regardless,” the G*mma grins, “She’s in her office.”
“Could you tell me if Sara is here today?” My mother asks Cam.
I believe she is in the nursery, sitting with young Ash. She tends to do that when he
sleeps.” Sympathy crosses his features.
“Thank you, G*mma.” My mother heads straight into the pack house, leaving me to tend
to my son. I know she is worried for Sara. She thinks that Sara may believe that my
mother will be upset because Daniel was her brother, but that couldn’t be further from
the truth.
My mother is sad that she lost her brother, but in truth, she lost him many years ago, and
she wasn’t blind to the things that my uncle had done. She wants to make sure that my
aunt Sara knows this and knows that we are still her family.
After taking Holden out of the car, I carry him into the pack house and straight to the
second floor. Even though he just woke up from his nap ay home, my son is sound
asleep at the moment due to the car ride over. I tap on the office door and wait until I
hear her voice.
“Come in, Den.” I jerk back, trying to figure out how she knows it is me, but then I feel
it; it’s our heartbeats syncing to each other’s. I smile and walk in.

“I thought you were going to stand out there all afternoon.” She chuckles.

“No, it just took me by surprise that you knew it was me.” I inform her. She’s yet to look
up from the desk, “Quinn.”
“Hm?”
“Will you look at me.”
She sets her pen down and slowly brings her head up until her eyes are staring right at
mine. She looks like she’s on the brink of breaking down, so instead of asking her how
she’s doing, I hold up my son’s carrier.
“Ie bearing a young Alpha.” I smile, and my words do it; she smiles back at me and
then stands up andes around the desk.
“My word, look how big he’s getting!” Her hands go to her mouth in shock, “It hasn’t been
that long since I’ve seen him, has it?”
Iugh, “No, but he did hit a growth spurt over thest two weeks.”
“I would say!” She says but then a frownes over her face. momentarily and then it’s
gone again.
“Is Ash still down for his nap? I would love for Holden to meet him.”
She looks at the time, “He should be up by now.” I watch as she links somebody, “Cici is
going to have him brought down.” She smiles.
I set Holden’s carrier down on the floor and know that what I’m about to do could get me
kicked out, but it’s something that I need to do, and I think it’s something that she needs.

me to pull her into my arms and hug her tightly. She struggles for only a moment and
then I feel her arms wrap around my waist.
“I’m here, Quinn, I’m always here…just remember that.”
What could possibly have put a frown on Quinn’s face?
Thanks for reading…I appreciate you all! =)
