Masuk**Quinn's POV**I won't tell Dylan that Mum is fine. Not yet. Even though I really want Dylan to know that our mother is okay. But if he finds out now, Dylan might leave here and go looking for her. Because, honestly, Dylan is more emotional than I am. Dylan rarely speaks, but he is actually a deep thinker. So he thinks about everything, including the reason our mother left us. So if Dylan finds out, I'm sure he will look for our mother until he finds her and ask her to explain everything and not leave again. I'm actually very sad seeing Dylan right now. My heart aches. Especially when he smiles, it feels like a knife is piercing my heart. Because of all the people who know about our mother, Dylan has to be the one who doesn't know. Oh, I feel like I want to cry right now. I can't bear to look at Dylan's face right now. "Quinn, why are you just standing there? Come in."I blinked a few times. I glanced up briefly and then smiled. "I'm just watching you walking around without a w
**Quinn’s POV**“So when Grayson’s father was chasing you, and because you didn’t want to get caught, you decided to run away with our father?” “It wasn’t like that, sweetheart. I avoided him so he couldn’t track you down. Your father and I didn’t leave together. We split up.”“And Mr. Talon didn’t do anything?”Mum’s eyes changed. They grew dimmer. “He just said goodbye.”“That’s really strange. Why would he say goodbye to you? He could’ve caught you, right?”“Yes, but he never could and never would.”I furrowed my brow. Okay, this was starting to feel off. I didn't want to say it, but..."Don't tell me Mr. Talon and you had a relationship?"She grabbed my hand quickly. "No, it's not like that, sweetheart. I loved your father very much, and that will never change. But Talon...""He liked you?"Mum nodded slowly. And that's when my world spun. I gripped the chair tightly. "But you didn't run away because of that, did you?" "No, sweetheart. I'm not lying. We, your father and I, ra
**Quinn’s POV**“No, sweetheart, Mummy won’t separate you two. If that’s what you want, then let’s find somewhere more comfortable.” She moved away from me. She let me walk first. I was quite hesitant, but in the end I kept walking. "How are you gonna deal with the person you knocked unconscious? What about the CCTV? You know I'm already the subject of gossip with those Alphas, right? I don't want any new gossip to make things worse."She smiled slightly. "The CCTV is broken and scheduled for repair today. But because of the snowstorm, it's been postponed. So no one will be recording us here."I sighed. “You sound like an assassin now.”She didn’t answer. Then my guilt, which always came suddenly, made me feel rude for saying that. “I mean, you’re so different from how you used to be. Your look and your courage, everything,” I corrected myself.She used to have black hair, but now it's blonde. She used to be afraid to stand up to people who said mean things to her, but now she can
**Quinn's POV** I backed away until I fell when she tried to touch me. I shook my head. "Where have you been all this time? Why did you only show up when I was about to die?"She stopped. Her outstretched hand dropped back down. "I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I know I don't deserve your forgiveness."I laughed bitterly. "After all these years. Why now?"Mom was silent. She looked at me with teary eyes."Don't look at me like that. Don't make me feel guilty.""No, sweetheart, you're not to blame at all. I came to see you because I missed you so much.""What did you do to this man? Did you kill him? You want to appear as the hero who saved my life so you don't feel too guilty?"She shook her head. "He's not dead. He's just unconscious. The needle hit a certain point that made him faint. He'll wake up in about half an hour."I held back my laughter. Honestly, I didn't know how I felt right now.I was happy to see my mom again. I missed her so much. But on the other hand, I was also very mad
**Quinn’s POV**“Where are you now?” Owen asked.I hadn’t hung up on him yet. Because he was so persistent and threatened to tell Grayson, I had no choice but to keep the call open. Owen also said I had to keep the line open because if anything happened, he could hear it and come right away. But still, if anything happened, I intended to hang up. I didn't want Owen to come here and interfere. "Quinn?"I clicked my tongue. "Still in the taxi." "Please let me come there. We'll look for your mother together. So you won't be alone.""Shhh Owen, please be quiet if you don't want me to turn off the call.""Then keep me updated on your whereabouts and the situation.""You're like a detective investigating a murder case, you know."The taxi driver then looked at me through the windscreen. He seemed surprised to hear what I said. I smiled slightly. "Please stop here.""Have you arrived at the location?"I got out of the taxi. "Not yet." Then I looked around me, where it was very quiet.Ho
**Grayson’s POV**I don't give a fuck if Hanz spreads rumors about me. I don't care if he slanders my name. But I can't stay silent when he messes with Quinn. When he interferes with Quinn's life, which I guard closely, it means he's waving a flag of war at me. I've already tried to dispel the rumors he spread about Quinn before. The ones about a one-sided acquisition of his relationship with Quinn.But now there are new rumors because of a viral restaurant fight on social media. Now people think that Quinn is being fought over by two Alphas, Hanz and Owen. Fuck it all. Go to hell, all of you!Who wouldn't be mad? I am Quinn's real boyfriend. I am her fated mate. But because of Hanz, I am ignored. And now everyone is judging Quinn as a cheap girl for flirting with two Alphas at once. Imagine how furious I was when I read the news in the car. I, as her real boyfriend and true mate, was never even mentioned in the news alongside Quinn like this. Not even dating rumors, not even other
