It had been a long day of training. Her mother wasn't speaking to her. She knew she'd have to bite the bullet and apologise. She headed to her parents' suite after training. Dad answered.
"Hello, sweetheart, she's in the kitchen?" Dad replied.
She took a deep breath and walked in. Mom, can we talk? "Sure, what about?" she said. You know what about. She's sorry for her harsh words. You have to admit that from the past few years, you have been pushing her at every mating ball. Why?
"I'm worried." About what? " Regardless if you get a wolf or not, a marking will extend your life span," mom admitted.
She stared at her mother wide-eyed. Is this what you have been worried about her immortality. Mom nodded. Honestly, for such a smart, clear-headed woman, you can be ridiculous sometimes. Her mom wacked her hand.
"Hay, I am not." mom chastised her.
Mom, please don't worry about that. She doesn't age like a human she's 30, but still, i get ID in bars. Quinn laughed. Mom giggled a little. She will be fine.
"I almost lost you once, and I don't want to go through that again," she said.
She touched her mother's cheek. You won't she tough strong it's won't be that easy to kill her with or without a wolf. Let's make a deal. If she allows you to dress her up and make her go to the ball. Quinn sticks her tongue out as it's grossed her out. Mom smiled. You will let this immortality crap go.
"You won't make a fuss?" she said.
She can't promise not an eye roll or two won't appear on her face, but she will accept being Barbiefied by you. No pink, tho.
"I can live with that. How about pink shoes or bags?" she said.
Quinn just put her head on the table, slammed it a few times, and groaned.
"Okay, okay, no pink. Stop, dont hurt your beautiful face, " She said.
Quinn smiled. Deal? "Deal" Mom was beaming. What are you planning in that head of yours?
"How about in the morning hair nails pamper?" Mom asked, beaming.
Okay, hair nail and makeup but no waxing or tanning. She likes her skin tone, and no one is pulling hair out of her bits. She pointed to her core.
"Quinn, stop it. okay, I'll calm down," she said. Good. Dad popped his head in.
"Are we all okay?" he asked. Yes, good, we came to a compromise. "Good," he said, looked relief.
"Do you want to stay for dinner? I'm making spaghetti and meatballs. Your favourite, " Mom asked.
Yes, she'll just go shower and change. She stopped in the doorway, wait, you're making her favourite. You knew she'd come, didn't you?
"Oh dear, of course I'm a fairy, and your mother i know you too well." she said,
Mother kisses her cheek. Well played, mother. Dad sat with the paper and moved it in front of his face.
"I did nothing. I was never here," He said
Haha, it's very funny. Give her 10, and she'll be back. Her suite was only down the hall. She got showered and dressed quickly she could smell the food from the shower.
The meal was nice. She didn't like arguing with her mother. She meant well. She just never knew when to back off. She had her reasons, but mostly that Quinn and her mother almost died 30 years ago.
Quinn is 1 of 6 she has 2 older brothers and 2 younger twin sisters and younger brother. When her mother was pregnant with her. Our pack was attacked by another pack wanting to take over us. We were small back then, not now. It happened so quickly that Mother was rushing to get her older brothers who were at nursery to the safety of the pack house.
Mother was shot with a poisoned arrow that all most had her bleed to death and lose Quinn. Father went into a bloodlust rage and killed the witch who shot the arrow at him and our warriors. Dad thought we had died. Our luna managed to get her mother to the hospital.
It was very touch and go if either one of us would survive. Mom was in ICU for a month, recovering from the posion. It took her fairy and wolf abilities from her for a time. So, no healing abilities.
It took all the Alpha strength to bring her dad down. He was grief stricken. It took her oldest brother Kruz, holding Quinn, walking towards him to show she was alive for him to come back to us.
Dad broke down and hugged his children in that moment. Kruz and Levi introduced his daughter to him. He snapped out of it. Mom eventually got back to good health, and her Wolf Pixie returned. Her fairy magic returned.
The attacking pack she doesn't know the name we're beaten by dad's bloodlust rage. We've had no attacks since she's was born that she's aware of. No witches, but that's something that still puzzles her.
No one in this pack knows any witches, no witches in their family, no enemy witches, and we always kept ourselves friendly and level-headed. We never intentionally made any enemies. She would one day like to find out why and who that witch real was. Her dad interpreted her thoughts.
"Sorry, sweetheart," he said.
It's okay, dad, come in. What's up?
"You went quiet when leaving. What happened? I thought you had all made up with each other?" He said, looking puzzled.
We have she was just thinking about mom and what she went through having her, and it probably she holds on so tight even tho she's 30. She giggled.
"Yes, it's part of it. She doesn't like you missing out on anything. Anyway, i was coming to see as the first Alpha has arrived. Alpha Jack from the wolfen realm. Crescent Valley pack, " Dad said
He's early. "Yes, but he's coming from the wolfen realm, and we have the alliance to go through and sign. " Dad said.
She still finds it strange that he wanted an alliance out of nowhere.
"The wolfen council recommended us for his business. He's not had good luck with accounting and lawfirm all human and don't know who we are. If you are going to have business in the human world, you are best to use us."
She knows. He's unknown.
"Well, let's change that. Come on."
Why Kruz is your heir. Dad looked annoyed.
"You're all my heirs. ALL of you can rank up to war general if I say so," he said.
Okay, okay, calm down, don't get your panties in a twist, old man. She dodged the hit that was coming and ran away out of her suite. She could feel her dad chasing her.
"I'll show you old young lady," he said
That's if you can catch me, old man. She repeated just to tease him. She ran straight into the foyer and came to a complete stop at the large Alpha in front of her. Her dad flipped on her. He flattered her to the ground. Our Alpha Lutton was on watching shaking his head. Dad pulled her up.
"My apologies, Alpha Lutton. I was just teasing my daughter here. My apologies as well, Alpha Jack. I'm Quentin Hilton, 6th generation war general here and a teasing father too," Dad laughed. "This is my eldest daughter Quinn, who thinks she can call me old and run," he said.
"Oh, Quinny, you can't do that. At least say it from a far and get a head start, " Alpha Lutton said. laughing as well.
She is fast she just got distracted by our quest. Her apologies as well, Alpha Jack. Welcome to Mystic Moon pack. She held out her hand. He looked at it but never shaked it.
"You're wolfless?" He said.
She just stared at him. So smart and rude, a nice combination. She turned away from him. Her apologies, Alpha Lutton, but she'll take her leave before she says something else she shouldn't.
Alpha Lutton nodded. She reached up and kissed her dad's cheek, who looked very annoyed. Night dad let it go. Small-minded people don't affect her, and she walks away. She mutted under her breath and knew he would hear. Rude arshole. Hot but rude. That she said in her mind.
