9 MONTHS LATER:POV Quinn “One more push Quinn. She’s almost here.” The nurse encouraged me. I squeezed Derek’s hand once more, making him wince. He had been warned not to look over the curtain and sure enough, as our baby girl was getting pulled out of me, he looked and began to sway on his feet. “Will someone please bring our King a wet compress.” The nurse between my legs instructed. She looked up at me. “One more push Quinn.”I shook my head. “I can’t.” I cried. Derek was able to pull himself together and pressed a kiss to my sweaty temple. “You can do it, baby.” Derek encouraged me. I screamed as I gave my last push, giving everything I had left in me. The equipment and lights moved and flickered at my scream. No one in the room flinched when they heard my scream. Instead they carried on like I wasn’t an octave away from blowing eardrums out. I heard my baby girl’s wail as she entered this world. My body sagged from the immediate relief of being down with pushing. I looked
Six Weeks LaterQUINN POVFinally getting Ellie to sleep, I flopped down on the bed. I clutched my breasts and hissed as they were sore from my crotch goblin using them as her feeding bags.Derek walked out of the bathroom, a towel low on his hips. My eyes trailed down his toned abs down to his v line where the towel was. A clearing of the throat from Derek made me snap out of the day dreaming I was in. He scratched the back of his neck. “You know, Instead of looking at me like a snack, I can give you a treat,” a smirk went across his face.I blushed. My hormones were all over the place after having Ellie. One minute I wanted to fuck, the next I wanted to sleep or cry. I don’t know how Derek was keeping it together with my 17 personalities.I perched myself on my elbows and gave him a “come here” motion with my pointer finger. “Quinn don’t tease!” Derek pouted “I’m not teasing, come here,” I said with a small smile on my face. Without wasting another second Derek dropped his towel
EPILOGUE 8 YEARS LATER:“Momma, I want to go see uncle Ryan!” Ellie groaned. She stomped her pink-glitter converse into the gravel of the driveway. I continued to buckle Pryor into his car seat. I sighed and looked down at my baby boy who had a big gummy smile on his face. I kissed the tip of his nose before closing the car door. “Ellisse, how many times do I need to go over this with you?” She crossed her arms and looked so much like myself, I almost wanted to take a picture of it. Ellie groaned again and looked up at the sky. “I just don’t understand why I have to go with you to get grandpa.”’I squatted down in front of her. Trying to level with an eight year old was not easy. I straightened her jacket. “We will be quick honey. I know you are excited to see Uncle Ryan on his special day, but Great Grampa wants to be there too.” “I want to see uncle Ryan, but I want to see Rykerrrrr” She growled. Ryker was Mandy and Elan’s son who was a year younger than Ellisse. She was transfix
“Quinn Pierce! Get your ass up! You’re late for school.” My mother yelled from down stairs.I groaned, throwing my comforter over my head.“Quinn! Did you hear me?!” She yelled again.“Ugh! Yes I’m coming!” I yelled back, ripping the cover off of me and whining to myself.I stumbled to my bathroom. “Woof” escaped my lips when I saw how rough I looked in the mirror. My blonde hair looked like a lion's mane and the bags under my eyes were very prominent. I knew I should have brushed my hair after my shower last night but I was too lazy. No amount of brushing would save it. Quickly I straightened my hair, slapped some makeup on, and brushed my teeth. Running to my closet I grabbed a shirt from my hamper and smelt it. Eh, clean enough. And grabbed some jeans that were laying on the floor.I rubbed some of the wrinkles on the front of the Led Zeppelin t-shirt while looking in my full length mirror.“Well, that’s as good as it’s going to get,” I mumbled to myself. I booked it down the stair
I ran as fast as I could from the school. Tears streamed from eyes blurring my vision. Before I knew it I was crossing territory lines into my uncle's territory, The Blood Moon Pack. He took over after my grandfather's pack after my mother killed him.I hadn’t been over here since I was a little girl. But for whatever reason I always felt more at home when I was at my uncle Thomas’s pack-house. I called him my uncle because calling him my cousin was weird since he was so much older than I. We always had a great bond regardless of whatever family drama that happened in the past. My mom refused to explain what happened and why she killed my grandfather.None of the pack warriors stopped me as I climbed up the porch steps.“Welcome back Miss Quinn, it’s been a long time.” Sam, one of the guards said with a smile. I saw his eyes glaze over so I knew he had mind-linked my uncle.As I walked through the front door of the pack house I was greeted with a big smile from my uncle Thomas. He was
Anna POV I was beyond pissed. Not only did I have the principal up my ass about property damage but now I had to go to the one place that I despised and destroyed me. I followed Thomas into his office, standing near the door so I would have an easy escape. I had come to terms with our history but I still felt uneasy being near him. “What Thomas,” I said, annoyed, crossing my arms over my chest and tapping my foot. He looked up to the ceiling and huffed. “For once can we cut the animosity and talk like adults?” He asked, looking defeated. I knew he felt horrible for everything but I couldn’t help how angry I was. He motioned his hand to the chair that was across from his desk. “Please Anna, will you sit so we can discuss, our, I mean Quinn.” I sat in the chair reluctantly and was happy he didn't say our daughter or else he knew I would go off the deep end. Quinn still did not know that Thomas was her biological father and I wanted to keep it that way; however I had a feeling that
I woke up to my dad putting me in my bed before tucking me in. like he did when I was little. “Dad?” I asked yawning. “We are home honey. Tomorrow you will have off from school. Your mother and I think it's time that you know some things about the family that we think will help give you some answers that you are seeking.” He whispered before kissing my forehead.“Wait what things?” I asked with a concerned look on my face. He stood up and headed to the door. “I promise everything will make sense tomorrow. Please just promise me that no matter what you know that I love you and will always protect you.” “I promise dad, you're scaring me.” I said I panicked. “Don’t be scared honey. I love you and I will see you in the morning.” As he walked out my mother walked in and sat on the side of the bed. Before she could say anything Ryan came running into the room in his dinosaur pajamas and hopped into bed next to me. The kid clearly had a dinosaur obsession. “Quinn, where were you?” he a

I looked at her and silence mid chew, absolutely mortified at her words. My dad looked nervous and looked out at the floor as my mom said the next few words. “Your father is not your biological father.” I looked up at her horrified at what she just said. “I’m sorry what?” I asked with some pancake falling out of my mouth.“Unfortunately before your father and I met, I was already pregnant and I didn’t know. I was out with your aunties and on my way home I was attacked and drugged. I didn’t realize that when I was knocked out that I had been taken advantage of.”she looked away from me, unable to look me in the eye. I could see her try to hold back tears as she was reliving some memories that she wanted to forget. My dad, who wasn't my dad, put his hands on my mother’s shoulder and did a little squeeze. Still not meeting my eyes.
