The Queen's duty

"He'll be fine in an hour," Odie assured, checking Freddy's pulse. "He didn't fight too hard, so there were no side effects."

"Do we believe him?" Taylor asked, sitting across from the couch. "Do we really think this werewolf can make females think he's their soulmate?"

"Yes," I mumbled, unable to sit down. I was exhausted, but if I sat, I would sleep. "Quinten… There's something odd about him. He makes you want to… be around him."

"Odie? What do you know about him?" Alister asked our friend as she zipped up the med kit. "Is he known for that?"

"I don't know that much about him. Rumors and gossip mostly," She sighed apologetically before taking a seat. "I don't know what he is. If he's Akaian, he's not new. If he's not, then he's worked really hard to be where he is. I met him twice, but not in this life. The last one. He's pretty charismatic, I won't deny that, but I didn't feel a pull towards him… Then again, I don't have a soul."
