Today was Zayd's last day here, and it was Quinn's as well...sheâd made up her mind to go back with
him...to become his mate and luna.
However, he was the only one who knew of her decision...she hadn't told her beloved father, her
mother, or her sister. The pack was in the dark as well, and so was Jeo.
She'd told him that saying goodbye would be hard, and he'd agreed to leave her side for the day, to
give her the personal space she needed to hand out her regards to the people she'd grown up with.
And Quinn was thankful...she knew she'd cry, especially while looking into her father's eyes, and she
did not want Zayd to see such an ugly side of her.
She was still skeptical though, whenever she had big decisions to make, she'd always talked to that
one person she'd considered a sister, that girl she once thought she could trust. But now they had
drifted so far apart that Quinn didn't know if they could ever have a civil conversation
Nevertheless, from the start, she'd been the one Quinn wanted to say goodbye to first, she was the
easiest person to talk to and no matter what, they were sisters; blood related sisters.
Quinn took a breath as she stepped out of her room. She'd been lazing around since morning with
the same headache that has been bothering her for the past few days. It was now an ordinary pain,
something she had become accustomed to.
Her feet took her to the living room, where her mother and her father sat watching the television.
âI'm going for a walk...I'll be back in a few.â
Reluctantly stepping inside, Quinn followed her into the living room, taking a seat on the couch,
which was soaked in both Jeo's and Delilahâs scent. âSo I..."
âDonât go around it..just speak.â
âI...well I...I'm leaving tonight...I might sometimes visit, but I'm not going to be living here anymore.â
Delilahâs eyes fluttered away, her hands clenching in her lap. She was nervous too. âWhy?â
âI found a second chance mate...I don't resent you for taking Jeo away from me anymore, in fact, I'm
glad because it seems I found someone so much better.â
âThe alpha king?" Delilah scoffed. âJeo uttered profanities along with his name a handful of times...
now I know why. It's karma, isn't it? I stole your mate not only because I've liked him from afar but
also to stand in a higher position than you, and the moon goddess just ran me over by giving you a
second chance that is far more powerful than the man I've taken.â
Quinn chuckled sadly. âIt might be..."
âNo, it definitely is.â Delilah confirmed, finally twisting to face Quinn. âI'm sorry...I-I shouldn't hav...I
only thought about myself; my happiness and never yours. I tried to destroy your life, and yet I'm
the one who broke in the end. H-He doesn't want me anymore, Quinn...he barely even looks at me.
He says he wished my eyes were as green as yours...he says he wished I was...was you..."
Tears dripped down her cheeks, and Quinn's heart broke at the sight of them. In a moment like this,
she didn't know what to say, so she remained silent, watching as Delilah hid her tear-filled face.
âI love him, Quinn..." Her voice was muffled. âHe took my innocent, he took my heart, and now he
wants to murder my soul. It hurts so much, this awful feeling of not being enough anymore makes
me really wish I was born as you.â
Quinn tried, but she couldnât hold the urge back anymore. She stood to her feet, staggering over to
where Delilah sat. She cupped her sister in her arms, hugging her shaking body so tight. âNo
Delilah...you are enough, don't let Jeo decide how much you're worth. You might look like nothing
special in his eyes, but in mine you're the most precious thing in the world, and I'm sure your future
mate would feel the same way. That night, I should've stopped the ceremony. It would've saved you
from this.â
âNo, I deserve this...for coveting...for wanting to be better than you. My joy only lasted for a few
days before e-everything came crashing down and the depths o-of my actions were shown before
my eyes.â
âYou donât deserve any of this, none of us does. You donât have to be like me to be loved. Be
yourself, you're perfect too, my perfect little sister who has a gentle beauty and a big heart. I don't
want you to follow my steps anymore, I don't want you to ever think less of yourself. You're just as
good as me, perhaps even better. I might be leaving tonight, but if there's ever a time you need a
big sister to talk to, you'll know where to find me.â
