Quin's POV

“Can I accompany you?” I ask, walking behind him, not wanting to let him go, nor leave.

Mr. Handsome continues to walk without acknowledging him. “I’m a doctor.” I add, trying to gain his attention, forgetting not to walk so close to him. I end up bumping him with my forehead on his back, and it's the hardest thing my tiny head has ever bumped on.

“Sorry,” I mutter, taking a step back, trying to maintain myself and act normal.

He turns around, and utters, "Lady, I appreciate your help, but I will be fine.” in juiciest, dripping voice I've ever heard. It was hoarse, yet constant, deep, but audible. I didn't know velvet voices existed until today.

“It’s Dr. Quinzel Khaleel O’Conner.” I mumble, bringing myself back to earth before I could go under.

“Miss Quin, I appreciate your help, but I will take it from here.” He smiles, he leaves, and I just stand there,  frozen. I lift my hand to wave goodbye, but I immediately hit it with the other hand.

"Quin, what are you doing here? Are you okay?" Dawn questions. I don't even know when she came, all I could do is nod.

"You sure?" she continues,"You seem off, and weird." I nod again, clearly oblivious to what she was saying.

"And I don't believe you one bit. Ever since we entered the gates of this school, and you haven't been normal. Come on, talk to me," she begs as she stands in front of me, and levels her face to mine as I was a bit taller than her when I had high heels on.

"I met a man." and it's all I can say.

"Well, no snap sherlock you met a man." She mutters, dismissing what I said, but a second later, as if she's finally realizing what I just said, she turns to me in utmost shock and asks, "Wait, what man? and where did you meet this man? Is he handsome, got any kids? You know what, never mind, we will talk about this later. We have to go back inside, the parents are waiting for your speech." She attacks me with questions, but then comes back to her senses that we were in school.

I take a breath in and out for a second, fix my shirt and skirt, and walk inside with utmost confidence and grace, ready to save all the little ones that make it worth it to wake up each morning.

The presentation went well. After I was finished, I rushed to work as the time I had asked for had already expired and I was already ten minutes late.

When I got to work, I had three interns assigned to me. Layla Snyder, Tomas blue, and Altair Young.

"How long are you guys going to be with us?" I start, as they follow behind me after I had changed my shoes into flat shoes.

"Two years," Tomas replies and I can sense that there is a smile on his face.

"Great-," I turn around and face them and we stop walking.

"I have some ground rules for you guys to follow and I promise we will have a productive environment to work in if you guys follow these instructions accordingly. Is that okay with you guys?" They all nod their heads and I smile.

"Okay, so rule number one, don't assume something just because you are fresh from school and your head knowledge is quite broad and the practicals you did were convincing. Human lives are different and they respond differently to medicine and to situations they are thrown into, patients and parents alike, treat them as such. Therefore, always have a doctor beside you to assist you for the first few months until I say so, is that clear ?" they all nod and I continue.

"Rule number two, never give patients medicine when they want it and the dose they would prefer. We went to school so we can be sure of what they need and don't need. We basically know what's best for their health, and since they are here, we are the ones who have the final say. And so, with that in mind, the only medicine you will give out will be prescribed by a doctor or by myself, is that understood?"

"what if the patient is in pain and you know exactly what to give them?" Tomas jumps in and asks.

"And what is rule number 1?" I raise a question instead.

"Always have a doctor beside you," he starts.

"And?" I urge him to continue.

"Our head knowledge is different to human lives," he adds. "Therefore should be treated as such." he ends off.

"And I assure you, that is something you should respect and learn to live by. All patients have doctors assigned to them because they may have medicine they are allergic to, and others, medicine they need to detoxify off. Who are you to decide what is good for that patient when you have no idea what they should or shouldn't have?" I question. "If you find a patient who is having trouble with anything, as impractical as it sounds, report it to the nearest docter who will conduct a proper diagnosis, is that clear?" At this, he looks away and mutters a sorry.

"You should learn to be quick on thought, not words nor actions because those two could end a life. In this hospital, we treasure patience the most as it's value saves lives." I explain to him, patting his shoulder and continuing.

"Rule number three, know everything about your patients, like the little lines on the palm of your hands. Their names and surnames, blood types, allegerics, and what medicine they should and shouldn't have. What they came in for and where possible, what plan the doctors are planning towards that patient ." I inform them.

"Is that even possible?" Layla asks, in what sounded like a whisper instead.

"yes, it is sweetheart. If you put your mind to it, it's very much possible." I smile at her. "The last rule is to enjoy yourself. Learn all that you can, and create friendships if you desire, but don't be so attached to your patients. Sometimes things don't go the way they should, and your heart should always be prepared for anything." I advise them.

"In case of death, you mean?" Altair cues.

"Yes, in case of death." I nod. "Right, now that we got that out the way, do you guys have any questions?"

"Totally unrelateable to this conversation, were you born with silver hair?" Tomas probes.

"Curious much?" they all nod and I chuckle. "Well, first off, it's platinum hair and yes, I was born with this shade of hair and yes, my eyes will change color from time to time, don't be shocked when it does. " I inform them.

"What shades do they change into?" Layla questions.

"It depends. But it's mostly tortoise blue, A****n green, and sometimes a shade of grey when I'm angry." I casually state.

"Wait, your eyes change color based on your mood?" Altair jumps in, making all of us jump in a scare.

"Well, now that you say it like that, yes. It does." I turn around and start walking. "Follow along children, we have a colorful ahead," They follow as instructed.

    It It Arthur's POV When I get to the door, I stop. What if Winter felt wrong? I know that twins have a connection bigger than mate bonds as they are one. So if one is anxious, the other would feel it as if they are there, if the one is hurt, the other would hurt in the same spot. But what if? Just, what if he felt wrong? "I will take over your body and enter this room if you don't," Ares warns me. I open the door and there she is, standing right there, touching her hair. My heart stops for a second. "Are you real?" I whisper, dropping my phone. Quinnzel pauses, and her heart picks up pace. The moment, it does, I rush and crash into her, hugging her a little too tightly. I take in her scent, it's still as intoxicating and strong. I grin, feeling a sense of completion with her around. "I am real," she coughs. "You squeezing too hard," she adds, and I loosen the grip."Sorry," I mutter, still hugging her. We just stand there, holding on to each other like the world is ending. I a

    Quin's POV"Quin," I hear a voice calling me in the darkness and I stop. The voice is monotone, and I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman. I look around with my glowing eyes, but I see nobody. I look at Acai, who also shakes her head. But what I know and am certain of, somebody did call me, and it gave me chills. But I shrug my shoulders, and pretend we didn't hear anything and we continue walking. I am not sure how long I've been out here, and how much longer this has to go on.All I know is that I haven't been hungry or had the urge to use the toilet nor have I felt a tiny ping of wanting to sleep. This is discouraging because it feels like I've only walked for a day or two max and this might take more than that. "Quin," the voice calls out again. I stop yet again and look around to no avail, starting to get freaked out. I try to take a step to see if the voice calls out my name again, and this time I am not surprised, but freaked out. "Quinnzel O' Conner!" the voice beams,

Have you never seen her being treated?" I cue. "No, the doctors back in the city don't allow that," she clarifies. "Well, I always want to know what's happening. But don't worry, our daughter is going to be okay," I try to console her, whilst Luca opens her onesie and puts allergy pads on her chest."What are those?" she continues."Allergy pads. It's to level her breathing

    Lucinda's POVAfter packing, I head down, and Shadow is on a phone call with someone, well, more like he is yelling at someone over the phone. "Don't tell me that Lucien! I specifically told you that the investors were coming in today, therefore the Maimi deal should be finalized by then," I could feel his anger radiating through the whole room, and I know that he feels my presence so he tried to finalize the call in a much calmer tone. "Can you please get this done before I get to the office? I will stall the guys. Is that possible?" he asks the other person whose name I believe is Lucien. He nods his head then and he ends the call."I can hear your heartbeat you know," he utters and I come into view. "Hey," I sheepishly laugh, waving."You ready to leave?" he inquires."Sure," I come down with my suitcase and he takes it and carries it for me."Sorry about that," he starts as we head towards the car."Sorry about?""The yelling. I was frustrated at Lucien. There is some work I as

    Lucinda's POVAfter Queen Mother leaves, I feel lighter. Like I have someone I can trust. There is something about her that makes me want to tell her how I am feeling, and how much whatever I went through hurt me and she doesn't come with a judging heart or a mocking face, but she brings warmth, and for me, that is something I've always craved for, a friend. I hope she is one. I focus on what she asked me for. The wishlist. I sit on the couch and I start thinking hard and wide. What's the one thing that I've always desired? My list would be long if I would start from when I was a kid. But before I can jotter down anything, I call Meriya to help me get a pen and a paper. She comes back with it and I sit on the island to start my list. It doesn't have to be realistic, I tell myself, but it has to be what I've always wanted to do. Queen Mother said she would be a genie for one day, and maybe she could help me achieve these dreams.She doesn't have to help with everything, I mean, I th

Besides her life story that she thinks defines her, her character, her personality, her smile, and everything good reminds me of Rue. How she could have grown, how she would have smiled, what type of wolf she would carry, the strength she would possess, and with all that, how I would want to protect her. How I would want to see her happy. How I would want her to have all the love that she proceeds her.And when I look at Lucinda, I want all of this for her. The love, the happiness and the joy, as the Luna of this pack, and as my son's fiancee. I want her to have the best mother-in-law. I can be her in-law by the rules and regulations of this world, but I know that by now, our relationship as a family will be anything but quiet, random, and normal. It's gonna have flare, sparkles, and tiny big promises and everything she has ever wished for as a child, and what she desired as she grew up. "Roughly

    Nanawe's POV"So, this is what is gonna happen gentlemen and esteemed ladies, I am going to go home and ask Miss Dawn, the future Luna of Windazare if she would fancy staying in Erza for a month, and if she says yes, consider yourselves lucky, and if not, well, good luck trying to convince her to stay. I mean, she already doesn't see eye to eye with the counsel since some people, I won't mention names, are so keen on having her killed." I clear my throat. "Nanawe!" Claudius calls out."Yes love?" I smile at him, tilting my head. No matter how angry this man is with me, I am still head over hills for him, I still act like a child. "Are you trying to rebel against the counsel?" he raises a question."Oh goodness no. I would never do that. This couple just reminds me of someone I didn't save before. I guess you could say I am trying to make amends for it," I look at Arthur, trying to not get emotional."Is this based on your emotions?" Phoenix replies and I can feel his aura being enra

The rest of the house will be going. So when I am done, I quickly head to where Quin is sleeping. When I get there, Sabre is standing guard and he freely lets me in. I enter the room and Quin is just lying there. Her eyes are closed and for the first time, I want her to talk. Even if she will go on about neurosurgery or whatever she does, I just want her to open her mouth. I feel my breathing getting choked up, but still, I will myself to get closer to her. When I am within arm's length, I take her hand into mine, and I sit down, tears rolling down my eyes. "Hey Quin," I smile. "How are you, girl?" I wipe my tears.

    Winters POVShe came for me. Yes, I know she was probably asked by my mom to check up on me, but the fact that she agreed to do it meant a lot to me. I am not sure how to respond to what my mom did to me, and in a way, I am trying to put myself in her shoes, but I am failing to comprehend how she did what she did and still lived without regret in her heart. For her to separate us to keep us safe is one thing, but choosing to let us stay separated is a choice she could have undone. I could have met my sister in the city if she wasn't sure how she would turn out, and we would have had a bond. I would protect her with my life and maybe then, I would have found my mate sooner. But no, she did what she did, and I don't know how to look at her without anger and disappointment in my heart. "Dawn, if your mom did what my mom did, what would you do?" I ask her. "I would slap her," she utters, seemingly contemplating her response."What?" I wasn't expecting that."That would be my first tho
