Falling for the forgotten queen

The cool night air hit my face as we darted through the woods surrounding our home. The man carrying me was hated through out our pack. Finnagan Ryder the ex Beta and my fathers best friend. Everyone said he killed his mate and my father's sister Michelle. There was no proof but according to the high counsil he was guilty. I hadn't seen him before this day. Hours ago me and father had been reading to a book in his office when Finnagan burst through the door. His body had busted the entire door off the hinges. My father looked at him but didn't attack. " Alpha! It's happening! they're here and they are looking for her. " My father threw the book and hugged me close grabbing an old tattered shirt and demanding I change quickly. He ran over to the fireplace and covered his hands in the soot covering my body in the dark powder. I coughed at the dust forming round me. It made it hard to smell, and even harder to breath with out coughing. " Daddy what are you doing? " He grabbed my shoulders emotions I couldn't understand at 8 changing his face . He looked at me. He took steady breaths and spoke. " You are beautiful just like your mother. From here on out though you are Finnagans daughter. Do you understand me? You must never mention me or your mother again. " I looked at the man and I grew scared. What was happening? why couldn't I stay with my dad? Finnegan grabbed my arm pulling me towards him, I ripped my arm free trying to get to my dad. " But? " My father stood up walking to the door and hitting a stone in the wall. The wall beside the door opened up and Finnagan grabbed me rushing us Inside as my father closed the secret door behind us. Finagann wrapped his jacket around us and I held on tightly for fear had set in my bones. What's was happening? Who was here? Everything was going crazy around me. Finnagan stopped for a moment looking around and taking a deep breath covering my mouth as he peered out into the dark night. I could vaguely make out the wolves lurking and walking around. Some were assaulting the pack members. Hitting them and yelling at them. All of a sudden it was dead quit. A man tall slender with hair of snow and eyes of demons walked Into view. The man looked around. Disgusted by the bodies and the bloody pack members. " How hard is it to find a damn child? One child is all I asked you to bring me! " The men that had been attacking were all shuttering and trying to explain themselves. The man grabbed a woman and pulled her to him. He looked into her eyes and a strange red fog covered her face. When he spoke it engulfed her face and entered through her mouth and nose. " Woman were does the King of the north hide his child? " The woman looked confused. Her eyes were wide as she awnsered. " Alpha does not have a living child? She died with her mother. " I listened and was confused. I know that is Miss Whitney and she was my teacher. She knows my father has a child. She knows me. The man huffed and dropped her. She landed on her bottom and didn't move. " Where is the child of the King! " The pack members all stood up and in one breath all said the same thing. " The child died with her mother. " I looked at Finnagan who was waiting to escape. He looked at me his eyes dark. He backstepped looking for a new way out and when he found it he ran. His eyes were soft and full of tears. He held me as we ran through the woods the creatures of grim fairy tales tracking us. His voice was low so only I could hear. " Say I am Quinn daughter of the theif and killer Finnagan Ryder. " I heard the terror and fear in my voice. I held tightly to the man my father trusted with my life. We were under attack and this was the only way my father could protect me. " I am Quinn daughter of the theif and killer Finnagan Ryder. " He looked at me as I could feel the threat closing in on us. " Repeat that tell it rolls off your tongue. Never mention your mother or father again. Quinn your life depends on this. You are Quinn daughter of Finnagan Ryder. " I could feel the tears stinging my eyes. " I am Quinn daughter of Finnagan Ryder. " He looked at me his eyes holding me to this world. I felt the air around me rush by as he smiled. " That's my God child. You must live and there's only one way for that to happen. " He held me close as I looked around realizing where we were the cliffs. The water below raged and rolled huge waves into the rocks below. I looked up at the man my pack called a stain in our pack. The man my father trusted and made a rouge. He locked his arms around me as I heard footsteps Closing in. I looked over Finnagans shoulders as the man neared us. " Finny good boy I didn't know you had a pup? " Finnagan moved me to his back and I hide under his jacket making myself as small as possible. " I hid her here years ago when I was chased out. I needed my pup to be safe, life as a rouge is no cakewalk Malcolm. I wish to leave in peace now that my pup is older I can care for her properly. " The man tapped his finger against his lips. Stepping towards us the ground falling from near Finnagans feet. " If that's true why did the Alpha have her? " Finnagan pulled his jacket closed and zipped it quickly. What was he thinking? what was he planning? " I needed her safe and he had just lost his wife and pup. I thought this the best way to protect her from outsiders. " The man took another step and Finnagan took a steady breath. The man stopped and looked at me. Would he see my mother in my face like dad did? Would he kill us? What about my father? " His child can't be dead, she's immortal you brainless rouge! His child is the weapon I need to rule all of the werebeast in the world! Now tell me the truth child who are you?! " I looked at the man. I hated him. " I am Quinn and my father is Finnagan Ryder! " Finnagan smiled and jumped backwards. The wind rushed by our bodies. I clutched onto him as we were free falling towards the rough water below.
