Zayd ran all through the night and only stopped when the sun broke past the darkness. He bent low
enough for her to climb off his back, and then transformed into his human form. âSince you didn't
sleep at all, get some rest while I hunt something for us to eat.â
âI'm not sleepy.â
âYour eyes are drooping, Quinn.â
âI said I'm not sleepy.â
"Even so~"
âLeave me alone.â Quinn hissed as she took a seat against the low grass that grew from the earth.
âDonât look down on me now that I've lost my wolf. I'm fine, and moreover, I don't want your
concern.â
âQuinn...â
Sighing, he watched as her body shivered when the breeze slid past the leaves, her nose crinkling as
she twisted onto her side, completely facing him. She seemed cold, and her forehead felt a little hot.
Standing to his feet, he changed back into his wolf form, curling around her in aid of granting her
warmth. She relaxed in his ball of fur, sleeping deeper, calmer...and somewhere along the line, Zayd
fell into a sleep with her too.
Ee
Quinn's eyes blinked open, the bed of grass she laid on was soft and warm and not grass at all. She
sat up, looking back at the black wolf that laid asleep behind her.
She didn't know why he was so close or when she fell asleep, but it all just happened.
With a breath, she stood to her feet, she wondered why he came back. After leaving her on such a
bad note, why did he find his way back to her?
To hurt again?
To make fake promises again?
If so, then Quinn didnât want him near her. She'd done been betrayed by even her father who she
thought was always on her side...why must she think Zayd wouldn't abandon her again?
Everybody used her for their own selfish gain...Delilah...Kathrine...they brought her down so they
could stand tall..what exactly did Zayd want to use her for?
She had nothing to offer him now, she couldn't be his luna, not without a wolf...she had absolutely
no use to him, so why was he taking her with him?
Quinn sighed, looking towards the dead deer on the ground. He caught the meat, the least she
could do was cook it...even if they weren't on good terms.
