Chapter 118


    It can’t be true; I don’t want to believe it! Although, it does exin a lot of things, like why I’m as fast as


    I am, and as strong as I am. I haven’t even hit twenty yet, and that’s when my full powers will kick in.


    Oh, my G*d, I’m going to have powers! I don’t know how to handle any kind of power, and it’s not like I


    have my mother or anyone else around to help show me…ugh!


    ‘Wait a minute, T,’ I pause briefly, ‘Wouldn’t Ash be thest Dire wolf?’


    My wolf chuckles, ‘Technically, yes, and he wille into his wolf at the age of twenty as well, but the


    legend speaks of thest Dire she-wolf. I think they left that specific part out so it would be harder to


    find you, knowing the danger you would be in. Legends aren’t always clear, but they get the important


    part out and that is all that matters. If you really read into the legend, it does say that thest Dire wolf


    will be fated to an Alpha, and even though a she- wolf could be an Alpha now, during the time the


    legend was created, it was unheard of. So, it pretty much tells you there, that thest Dire is female.’


    ‘So, Ash is the first of the next generation?’ I ask, trying to understand it all.


    ‘Yes and no. Our little Ash is thest of this line and the first of the next generation, but he’s not going


    to be the first powerful because he was not conceived with the mate that the Goddess has chosen for


    you. He will have powers, but they won’t be as strong as our next pup.’ She exins.


    ‘I see,’ taking everything she is telling me, in, ‘Wait a minute…back the f*ck up. Are you telling me that


    we still have a fated mate?’


    My wolf sighs, ‘Yes, Quinn. Why do you think I was so against mating with Gavin and Mace. I loved


    them too, but I knew they weren’t our true mates.’


    ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ I’m pi*sed now, not that I would change. any of my decisions, but still.


    Csuchers


    ‘The Goddess told me not to interfere. She told me that you were on the right track, so even though I


    didn’t understand it, knowing that they weren’t our fated mate, I wasn’t going to question the Goddess.’


    I can feel the confusioning from T, so I know she is being truthful with me.


    ‘So, Gavin and I were supposed to mate and have a son.’ I say more to myself.


    ‘And he was always meant to die by his sire’s hand.’ T confirms, ‘Our Ash was meant to be born, so


    don’t ever think he was a mistake, Quinn. The Goddess has ns for him as well.’


    ‘ns or not, I would never think that Ash was a mistake!’ I hiss at my wolf, and she smiles.


    ‘I know you wouldn’t, but I had to say it regardless.’ T chuckles:


    ‘So, now I have to wait until my birthday, and I will finally find my fated mate. What if I’m not ready,


    T? I still miss and love Gavin so much!’


    ‘We will always miss and love him, and our mate will understand that, I promise.”


    ‘I need to run, T…’


    ‘Then let’s run…’


    After letting Cam know that I’m needing a couple of warriors toe with me, but to keep their


    distance, I let Spence know that I’ m going for a run before making my way to the tree line and


    undressing. There is a slight chill to the air this morning as I fold my clothes and stack them neatly by a


    tree. In no time at all, I’m shifting and letting T take over. I never realized how big my wolf has grown,


    but I pay attention now, as we shift, and I watch as the distance from my head to the ground grows


    bigger.


    Realizing what I would look like to others and knowing that Gray Skies have eyes on my pack, I


    apologize to T and shift back. I can’t put myself in danger; Ash still needs me, ‘Once Gray Skies is


    taking care of, then we can shift.’ I exin to her.


    ‘I understand, Quinn. I can wait.’ I can sense the sadness in my wolf, but I know that she wouldn’t want


    to put ourselves in jeopardy either.


    I get dressed once more and link the warriors letting them know that I’m not going for a run, but that I


    am heading to Storm River territory. I need to talk to Den in person about this. I need to know how


    he knew, because I know that he already knew what I was. So, waiting until I had a set of warriors in


    another car to follow me, I head out of my territory and straight into Den’s.


    Even though border patrol will link Den to let him know that I’ming through, I send him a text


    before I leave. I had thought about bringing Ash with me, but with the state my mind is in, I don’ t think


    it would be a good idea. Besides, with Gray Skies still hanging around, I don’t want to put my son in


    danger. If they areing for me because I’m a Dire wolf, then they wille after him as well. They


    probably already know that I have a son.


    As I pull up to Storm River’s pack house, Den is justing out


    Dividing into pages now


    the door, giving me his smile that I love. A tingle starts and I have to lecture myself to stop because we


    still have a mate out there somewhere. I sit a moment just staring at him, and I think he understands


    because he just stands there with a smile, waiting for me toe to him. Could he be…? No, I’m not


    lucky enough to have him as my mate and I don’t want to get my hopes up by thinking he is, just to


    have them dashed when it turns out that he isn’t.

    Letting out a big sigh, I climb out of my car and walk up the steps to him. I stop right in front of his form


    and gaze up at him, neither one of us saying anything right away. He’s the one to break the silence


    first.


    “So, I take it you read the letter.”


    I nod.


    “And it said that you’re thest?”


    I shake my head this time.


    He stares back at me in confusion, “It didn’t say that you are a Dire?”


    “No. It told me to look in my mother’s secret safe. That’s where I found out what I am.”


    “How do you feel about it?” He asks, sticking his hands in his pants pockets.


    “I’m not sure. Confused, nervous, maybe a little scared.” I have to be honest with him, “I don’t know


    what to do or where to go from here, Den.”


    He pulls me into his chest, “I’m here for you, Quinn. I won’t let you go through this alone.”


    Dividing into pages now


    “How did you know, Den?” I ask as I wrap my arms around his


    waist.


    I hear him sigh, “Gavin told me. He asked me to take care of both you and Ash and that he had found


    out that you are a Dire.”


    I nod my head against his chest, “The items in the safe all scented of Gavin, so I know he had found


    the information at some point.”


    “He didn’t do it for any other reason than that he wanted to keep you safe,” Den states, “He didn’t go


    into specifics, but I knew he was worried about you, especially after watching you with Tiffany.”


    “That’s why he was so adamant about me keeping my speed and strength to myself, wasn’t it?”


    “Yeah, I think he had his suspicions at that time, but wasn’t for sure yet.” Den pulls away but holds


    onto my shoulders as he gazes down at me, “I’m not going to let you go through this alone.”


    I smile, but it’s a bit on the sad side, “Thank you. Even if it is only until I find my fated mate, it still


    means a lot.”


    Surprisingly, he grins, “Oh, I’m pretty sure I will still be here for you. and watching out for you once you


    find your mate.”
