“ Take a chance on me and I

will prove how worthy your

life is.”

Heenashree Khandelwal,

Soulmates, By Chance

QUILLON P.O.V

“Grace, are you listening?” Dad asked mom irately.

“I will, when you say something worth listening” Mom retorted.

“That girl will not be coming to my pack” Dad snapped. An aggressive growl came from my wolf, when he heard that, and I clenched my fist to hold him back. However, Quinn, who was beside me, talking to someone in the phone, looked at me questioningly.

“She will and that’s my final decision” Mom growled out placing the bowls on the table with a clank.

Darya is my mate and we are supposed to decide what to do, but unfortunately my parents are deciding for us. That was irritating me and I was growling lowly every single time, but was ignored by both of them.

“I am the Alpha and I have decided that she will not come to this pack” Dad said pulling back his chair and taking a seat.

“You are no longer an Alpha of the pack” mom said amused and dad growled at her in warning. “Just like I am not the Luna anymore” mom said softly and then turned to look at me and Quinn.

“Cut the call and come to have dinner Quinn, Q” she called sitting on her chair. Huffing, I got up from the couch and marched towards the table.

“Exactly. Then why are we having this discussion?” Dad asked simply.

“Because we want Q to take a decision” mom said and I cocked an eyebrow. I thought they were doing it for me.

“Alright. I know what Q’s decision is” Dad said smugly and mom looked at him questioningly. “He doesn’t want her to come here” my wolf snapped his jaws, after hearing my father’s words, and glasses and crockeries rattled, while the whole table vibrated from my savage growl.

“Give me a warning next time” Quinn mumbled with a frown getting up and going to get a sponge to clean the table, because his glass fell while I growled.

Dad looked totally taken aback while mom looked jubilant.

“I guess he does” mom said in satisfaction as she poured water to Quinn’s glass.

“I don’t” I muttered with a frown while my wolf growled in contradiction. Dad heaved a sigh, while mom…. She just gave me a death glare.

“Repeat it” my mother snarled at me and I looked away harshly. Darya had impressed mom the moment mom she came to know the name of her farm. She cried for a whole day recalling her former pack, before finally asking me to tell everything about Darya. I told her a few things, however mom wasn’t satisfied and so she took a bold step and contacted Duncan Rhoades.

At last, after meeting Darya, mom liked her all the more and I didn’t know what had happened to cause that. However, now ma was adamant in her decision of bringing Darya here, while dad was against it.

Me… I don’t know what the fuck I should do. My wolf without any doubt wants her. He has been going crazy to the point where he has started snapping at others for minute things. I am confused.

Darya is pretty to look, just like a doll, but she is very offensive too. I don’t know what that girl’s problem is but she doesn’t agree with anything I say. She has to contradict and state her own opinion. As much as I appreciated her for standing up to me, it still riles me up because I am not used to people refuting me, in anything.

When I didn’t, mom growled before saying, “She is already living with her father’s rejection; I don’t want you doing the same to her.”

Her words got my attention and I finally looked up. What does that mean? I thought the former Alpha didn’t know she was his daughter.

“Her father’s rejection?” Dad asked with furrowed brows.

“Abraham Rhoades knew she was his daughter, but still refused to claim her as his child” Mom said still glaring at me.

I was startled by that piece of information. I didn’t know that part. Darya only told me that she was stolen by the Kenrick’s when she was a baby.

“No wonder no one knew about her” Quinn mused after hearing mom’s words.

“I always knew Abraham was no good” Dad said in a tone that expected applause and when he got none, he sighed and continued, “No one knew about her because even the son kept her real identity a secret.”

“Secret from us and actually it’s not a secret because the internal matters of Emperor Pack don’t concern us” mom retorted tartly.

‘100 bucks, mom is going to win this argument’ Quinn said through the link and I shot him a glare through the corner of my eyes. ‘Okay… 75?’

‘Shut up’ I retorted.

Taking a deep breath, “Like I said, her father rejected her and you, as her mate don’t do the same to her. At the least you can do Q, is try it out…. say for a couple of months. See if you can work this out” mom said with a shrug.

“I think that’s a good solution” Quinn said munching a slice of carrot.

“Did anyone ask for your opinion?” Dad launched at him and Quinn scowled. “Besides Grace, I thought this argument was about helping Q decide, not just stating what we want.”

“When did I state anything?” mom asked clearly offended.

“You want her here and you told Q to bring her here. You gave him no option after telling the truth about that girl’s father.”

“Her name is Darya” I hissed through gritted teeth because I was tired of hearing ‘that girl.’ “And I don’t want either of you arguing because I will decide if she will come here or not” I stated.

“Well, you are right son; it is your decision at the end of the day” Dad said calmly, which I found extremely suspicious.

“And just what will your decision be?” mom asked me cocking one perfect brow.

‘You are about to go down because mom has you in a nook’ Quinn said amused and I turned to glare at him.

“Answer me Q” mom demanded gently.

“I need time” I mumbled sheepishly.

“Wasn’t three days enough?”

“Again with that Grace” dad remarked. “Give him some time because even that girl-” when I glared at him, he cleared his throat and said, “I mean Darya, too needs to be involved in this. What if Q wants her here and she doesn’t want to come?” mom frowned at that. “I saw her today afternoon, she barely looked at Q and he is supposed to be her mate” dad added.

A small smirk formed on my lips because I knew why she did that. She was angry with me and that is her way of making me aware of her anger.

‘You are smirking?’ Quinn asked looking at me through narrowed eyes.

‘Eat’ I said and he rolled his eyes.

“I don’t think so” mom declared. “I met her and from what little I have got to know her, I can tell she is perfect for Q, for this pack”

“Enlighten me, why is it so?” dad demanded.

‘Why is dad even arguing when mom is surely going to win?’ Quinn mused and I had to agree, he was right in this.

“Why? Let’s go with she has a kind heart, I could see it in the way she expressed her love for her brother, the plants… she threats those plants like a child. She has an employee who is an autistic and a person’s true nature is known only when we see how they treat people who are not as privileged as them. She is brave, because no girl from this pack would have agreed to come with you when you are confronting the neighboring Alpha” mom stated smugly.

‘Nailed it’ Quinn remarked through the link and I smiled. That last remark hit home because the girls from Serene Pack were very submissive before mom joined the pack. Once mom became the Luna, she made training for she-wolves a compulsory in the pack. This is why only the new generation she-wolves in the pack are trained but even then very few are fighters. They only help the pack in the case of emergency, or else they would prefer being in home, because that is what their mothers did all their life.

‘Damn! I should have placed that bet with you’ he said and I scoffed.

‘We all know who wins every time’ I said to him.

“I don’t think she is brave” dad expressed. When will he learn? Quinn and I groaned at the same time and mom chuckled while dad glared at the pair of us. “She has four guards to save her life” dad pointed out with a frown.
