Quinn stared at the wide expanse of forests that surrounded the house where is three cousins lived. It's going to be a really long day, he thought frowning at the thought of confronting Ash and his cousins. Rashel walked behind him holding a protective arm around her brother Timmy. Shit he thought, I can't believe that dumbass Ash was right about finding a soul mate. He turned to see his beautiful mate, her long black hair fell softly down her back and her green eyes surveyed the forest. Quinn could see that she was nervous, after the incident with his stepfather Hunter Red fern the two of them had been running, desperately trying to find somewhere safe. The only place Quinn could think of was his cousins' house.
"Alright, the house is down this path." Quinn finally spoke, "it's in the middle of this forest so we'll have a while to walk."
"Right," Rashel said her eyes were peering in the dense trees.
Quinn felt his heart tighten, she looks scared, he thought with a grimace. Quickly he held her and stroked her hair. "No matter what I'll protect you, I'll never let him hurt you."
Rashel sighed, "I know, I know, but it's not like I can protect myself I mean—" Quinn silenced her with a kiss.
He laughed, "We should get going I want to get you to the house by sunset."
