StormI walk into the room feeling confused but instantly take the seat next to Quinn. I've no idea what's going on right now, so I hope someone says something and catches me up on things."Quinn wanted to leave," my mum says, and I stare at him."You're safer with me gone," he whispers, and my head shakes."Safer or not, you can't leave until we find a way to control your magic," my dad says, and Darius nods in agreement."You have lost control a lot, and there is only one person who stopped and helped you," Darius points towards me. "You need her to help you control it. She needs you to help her get her wolf back fully," he looks at Quinn.He's right. We need each other right now."Your mum sent you here to help you, Quinn," I look at him, and his head drops."That was a lie. She didn't care if I couldn't control my magic," he says quietly, and we all stare at him. Then why had she sent him? I look from him to my parents, and their expressions change to anger."What was your plan, Q
QuinnI told them the truth, knowing that would make them send me away. Storm was foolish and threatened to leave, which meant they said I had to stay.They aren’t considering the entire story, though, and they aren’t considering the danger she is in now. The knock has me walking to the door, and I open it expecting Storm. Instead, it’s Asher and Elijah.“Come sit out here,” Asher says and looks at me.“What he means is, come join us for a drink. Talking, that’s all. Our sister cares for you,” Elijah states before nudging Asher. My head shakes. “Look, I just want to talk and explain some things to you that you should know about Storm. It’s not to talk about you, it’s about Storm,” he says and I nod.If it’s about Storm, I will listen. I walk out and follow them into the lounge area. Elijah hands me the glass, and I peer into it.“It’s whiskey,” Elijah explains.“I don’t drink,” I never have. Grant drinks, he drank a lot it’s what he did when things didn’t go to plan.“It’s one, you’re
Storm POVI've no idea if Quinn will come. Actually, it's highly likely that he won't be showing up. If it was Elijah, I could see it working, but Asher is the one who will make Quinn hide away if anything.Aurelia sits looking at me, and I know she wants answers, but I have none."If you now have water magic, do you think that Elijah, Asher, and I will get the others?" She waits, and I shrug."I don't know. You keep asking me questions in a way that says you think I knew. I had no idea, I've never had signs of it Aurelia," I explain, feeling annoyed."Fire, water, air, and earth, right?" She asks, and I nod."That's what I've read, but this isn't like before. The magic isn't natural. It's created," I remind her."No, Quinn's was created. Yours is natural."Okay, she is right there. Still, I do no know if this means they get the magic. "It could be because Quinn is my mate. What counteracts fire?" I point out, and she sighs. "Water, so maybe I got that because Quinn is my mate and nee

StormI wasn't expecting Quinn to shift. He was focused on helping me. Now, even shifted, I can see the panic in his eyes, and I know it's because of our reaction.Then again, what reaction were we meant to have? I still can't stop staring at him. All I can think is, 'How?' How is this possible? I know how it's possible, but it seems wrong."Quinn, it's fine, I promise," I smile at him. He's not noticed his size or how he is standing. Then again, how could he? Has he even seen a werewolf shift before to know what normal is?He steps back more, and I feel like he might run."Can you focus on Raven?" I ask. "It might help me shift." I just need to keep him here and calm until he can figure out how to shift back. I also can't tell him much about what is happening as that likely will lead to him panicking more.It's rare for werewolves to stand on two feet, which is typically reserved for lycans or hybrids. He's not a lycan. That's clear from his eyes. They aren't the same colour as Lycan
DariusI look at Quinn and Storm. There's so much more I need to work out, but right now, I need to stick to the basics for Quinn. Then, when I look into it more, I can give them more.We've still had no luck tracking down Grant or Bailey, the other three werewolves they used, or the location they conducted testing on.This feels like nineteen years ago all over again. There are links to it, which I hate right now."Dad?" Storm looks at me, and I sigh."Look, the fae have their human form and their fae form. When someone is a hybrid, there are three ways they can shift. If a werewolf is a hybrid with Fae, they can shift into a werewolf, but with some subtle forms of Fae. Or, they shift into Fae with some subtle forms of wolf. Some can shift into a wolf or a fae," I explain.Storm nods and looks at me. "But he didn't," she points towards Quinn."In rare cases, the person is powerful enough to hold both sides at once. Hence, Quinn shifted and was part fae, part wolf at the same time," I
DariusSitting here we discuss it. No one will like it, but things need sorting and we can't pretend like we don't know the truth.I watch as Xenia walks in."So?" She says while looking between us."You know little about faes, merfolk, dragons and such, right?" I ask and she nods."Only what I learnt from you two and Isadora. Why?" She asks. "Is this because you want to get Quinn help from the Faes but are unsure if anyone will help after the past?" she looks at me and I nod."Not just that, you remember I mentioned the sides refused to interact, werewolves were blocked from each of their kingdoms and likewise them ours?" I ask and she nods."Right, if less someone was already residing there married with kids they were forced to leave, you're not asking to move in Darius," she laughs slightly."Let me show you something," I say before grabbing the laptop and pulling up the videos. It's a way to make her realise what I am thinking. I turn it to face her and hit the play button."This
QuinnWhen I wake, I leave the room. Yori as always is waiting to escort me around. Do they still think I will hurt someone? I push the thought out and walk to where Asher and Elijah are sitting.They turn and look at me as I approach."Morning," Asher smiles at me. "You want something, right?" He laughs and I nod. It won't cost anything, and it's nothing physical."What does Storm like?" I ask, before sitting. She's trying to help me so much and I want to thank her. I'm not sure how though. I've heard of giving a woman flowers and chocolate, but is that even right?"Storm loves reading, she spends a lot of her time in the library," Elijah says."She also spends a lot of her spare time in the orphanage with the children there," Asher explains. "It might help if we knew why you were asking. She likes a lot of things," he says and I nod."I want to give her something to say thank you for helping me." That's all I want to do, is show her I appreciate everything."Things aren't what Storm
