I looked for Quinn but I couldn't find him afterwards. I wondered where he had gone to. After searching for him till afternoon, I got bored and went out to entertain myself. It had been long I saw the few friends around here and I took a drive there, hoping that I would be able to clear out my head while there.

I couldn't stay home and drive myself crazy with Mia around. She infiltrated my thoughts both day and night and if I wasn't careful, I was going to end up going to her room and make a fool of myself.

I got back home that night and decided to search for Quinn. He should have been back from wherever he went. I saw him on the villa's balcony as I was driving back home and breathed in relief. That was good.

I sniffed as I got closer and frowned. He was drinking red wine. Quinn had stopped drinking and partying and only drank when he was bored or had something on his mind.

Since we were naval officers and always busy, it had been a long I saw him bored and couldn't remember w

    MiaFew minutes into the meal, John turned to me, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "When is your birthday, sister?"I almost choked on my food at the unexpected question. Much more surprising was the look in his eyes. I wasn't used to seeing any emotion other than mischief in their eyes."It is the twelfth of November." Mum answered for me when it didn't seem like I was going to say anything."You already celebrated it. Ouch. We thought it is not so far away." Jack groaned."Why?" That was all I could say.John smiled at me. "Is there anything wrong in brothers wanting to celebrate their sister's birthday?"I had woken up with a hearty appetite but I could feel my appetite draining by the moment. My stomach was getting unsettling and I became anxious with the way they were looking at me.They looked at me like I was a treasured jewel to them and seeing them as mild and sweet gentlemen wasn't something I ever imagined. Not in a million years.They passed the food my hands couldn't re

    MiaI was annoyed at the sight of him, hissed and was about to slam the door in his face but he reached out too fast and held it with his hand.I wasn't even shocked at how fast he had moved. I knew he was a werewolf and already read about their fast reflexes. Moreover, he was a trained officer. There wasn't much strength a girl like me could have against him but I was willing to still try. As if I was ever going to give up when it came to them. "Why are you here?" I hissed as he forced the door open and strode into my bedroom as if he owned it.Well technically, I was still a guest in the house since mum hadn't gotten married to Albert and his father owned the house so he could lay claims to it. Even if the house had his name written on its document, he shouldn't be here.As long as the room was given to me to stay in, he shouldn't barge in on my privacy regardless of what silly notions he had about house ownership.He moved closer to me, his eyes smiling. "Your mum called me. She

    MiaThe two of us continued struggling on the bed and I paled as I saw him staring at my lips. All the blood ran dry on my face as I realized what he was thinking. No, I thought as my struggling got intense. I couldn't let this to happen."Quinn has already kissed you. I want to kiss you too." I was glad that he had pulled me to the edge of the bed where I could easily reach out to the drawer beside the bed. I used his attention on my lips as a distraction to cover for what I was doing. Slowly so as not to alert him, I reached forward, grinning as my hands clasped on the gun. I waited for him to lean closer and then pressed down hard on the trigger. I smiled as he winced and pulled back in pain, rubbing at his cheek. I knew he was already feeling the stinging sensation that had been said he would. I was glad it had worked, my hidden card and weapon against my beastly enemies."What did you do?" He growled at me, his eyes widening in surprise and disbelief as he saw the silver bullet

    JackI rubbed at my cheeks, breathing as the pain began to fade away. I would be lying if I said that she didn't surprise me. Where the hell had she gotten a gun with the silver bullets? I wondered how she had quickly found out that we were werewolves and I had to give it to her. She was smart, the exact characteristics of someone meant to be Luna.At that moment, I wished that she wasn't my sister or I would have forced her to be mated to me. Being my sister meant that I had to be patient with her, regardless of what she did and court her with respect instead of force to avoid father's wrath if I did wrong by her.I hissed, knowing that patience had never been my strong suit. "You want some more, wolf." She taunted me.I growled at her, wiping at the blood on my skin. It had been a long time since I had shed blood. I couldn't remember when it was.Even when facing formidable pirates at sea, I could easily overpower them with force but today, I had been injured by a seemingly powerle

    JackSeeing that she had finally relented, I released her, gently touched her hair and reclined on the bed."Don't touch me." She glared at me, moving far away from me as soon as she was free.I chuckled. "Is the fire back on in you?"She hissed. "I never lost the fire."I smiled, looking at her with a suggestive look. She arched her eyebrows at me and I knew she wondered what I was thinking of at the moment."Aren't you going to ask me what I am thinking of?"She snorted. "If it's not about you getting yourself out of my room, I don't care.""Really? I didn't know you to give up so easily.""And I didn't know you to be one to force yourself on a lady. Oh, you always do." She taunted me.I chuckled. She never lost the fire indeed. "Are you sure you don't want to know what I am thinking of?""What is the point of asking when you are going to eventually tell me in the end?"I chuckled. "Since you are so curious, let me tell you. I only want to ask you a question.""If you want to ask me

    JackIf I had known that was the way to get her to be with me, I would have talked about that night sooner. Why did she move away from me when she knew that she was going to jump to my side when I got under her skin?That was the word. I had gotten under her skin and I loved it. It seemed like I had finally got a way to get her to react when I was with her. It didn't sound nice but I had never been known to be nice.She sensed my amusement and realized that I was teasing her. She moved back and glared angrily at me. I didn't think I had ever seen her that angry and I knew that I had messed up again.Life would have been easier if she was attracted to me. I could convince her in bed that I was the exact guy that she needed. I had never been good at the talking stage, I always moved straight to the lovemaking stage and oh, I really wanted to make love to Mia.I swiped the thoughts quickly off my mind before my penis started to grow again. With the murderous look in her eyes, it wouldn't

    MiaWhich one of them did I find attractive? I snorted at the question. That was ridiculous. What sort of person asked that kind of question from the girl he claimed to love? Why would he care if I liked any of his brothers if he intended to get me for himself? That was stupid, as far as I was concerned.Why did I even care if he was stupid or not? That made it sound like I wanted him to pursue me as a love interest. I wouldn't even want that for my enemies, much more myself. Knowing that I was safe and hadn't been marked, I moved back to my bed and went to sleep peacefully.The next day, I was reading a novel on my phone after lunch when I heard a knock on the door. I was scared and my heart started pounding hard in my chest when I thought that it was Jack again.I didn't think that he would be back again and I thought that I had finally chased him off with the threat of going public with our past. Didn't he ever give up? I thought that he had. He hadn't even looked at me during br

    Mia"Tell me everything that I've missed." I said to Anna over the phone as I sat in my room, twiddling my fingers.We had resolved our differences, missing each other greatly after I transferred to another school. Unable to cope with my absence in school and also her life, she had come over to my house and we had talked. It had been easy laying the sleeping dogs to lie as the demon triplets weren't around to cast their shadow on our friendship again and burden Anna with the weight of guilt she always carried around me ever since the incident.We had both gotten over it and bonded though we had to move far away from each other because of college. I couldn't move too far because of my mum but Anna hadn't had such restrictions. She had traveled abroad to study and we only communicated on phone and saw each other only when she came home for holidays.I had missed her and still did. I missed her more now, with the way my life seemed like it was spiraling out of my control with the presenc

    MiaFinally. It was done. I was mated to the boys. The mating ceremony was over. Some of the new wolves who didn't know were shocked that I was getting mated to the boys as they had assumed that I was getting mated to Quinn only but they had also moved on quickly and were happy that we were officially mated.Not all the wolves were around for my Luna ceremony and ritual or they would have found out about the intimacy between me and the boys.I was proud that mum was there to see mating ceremony and that there wasn't any knife cutting in this own. I didn't think mum was going to stand still if she saw that bloody crooked traditional knife cutting into my skin. I hoped that she wouldn't ever see the scars on my back. She had asked if I was keeping any more secrets from me but I didn't think I was going to tell her about the scars on my back. She was going to freak out if she saw them.She was just getting warmed up into the world of the werewolves and I couldn't show her the scars and r

    MiaI had thought that mum would never want to see us again after last night's fiasco. I couldn't blame her. We hurt her and she had a right to her anger. I would have been mad as well if I was in her shoes. I was surprised when she came out and joined us for breakfast. That was good. That meant she was slowly letting go of her anger and would soon warm up to us. Maybe she would be forgiving us anytime soon. I had thought I shouldn't hold my breath on waiting for my mum to forgive us but now, it seemed possible.I was glad that I had told Albert to let us call her to join us for breakfast when he was about to ask the maid to send her food to the guest room that she had slept in. I knew Albert was affected that she had slept in another room. He looked worse, much worse than I had ever seen him. He seemed like he hadn't slept a wink last night with the absence of his wife in their shared bedroom. I didn't think I had ever seen them apart when they were in the same vicinity. He missed mu

    VanessaI couldn't believe it. I still found it hard to believe that my own daughter could keep that much secret from me. I thought that we were close. I thought that we were as close as thieves. I thought that we didn't share any secrets. I thought that... Oh no, o stopped thinking as I didn't know what to think of anymore.She had to be kidding me. I felt like a fool, living in a house full of secrets and I was the only one who knew nothing about it. Asides the revelation that had happened in Mia's room after I found her kissing her brother, I had gotten more from her and I couldn't believe it.I still couldn't get the image of her kissing Quinn out of my head. I wondered what I would have done if I had found them in bed. Oh no! I couldn't bear to think of that. If she was dating the three of them, that meant that she was sleeping with the three of them.Oh my! How did that even work? I couldn't think of my daughter whoring herself out but with the way that they had explained it, th

    MiaIt was revelation day. It was a hassle trying to calm mum down after witnessing me and Quinn kissing. She had glared at us with her eyes widespread and in disbelief."Can someone tell me what is going on here?" She yelled."Please calm down, mum." I pleaded with my face blushing red. I was embarrassed. I shouldn't have let this happen like this. I felt like she was disappointed in me and I hated myself. I wanted my mum to know about my relationship with the boys but it was not like this. I felt bad with the way she was looking at me and I wished that the ground would open up and swallow me whole."Calm down?" She squealed. "I just saw you kissing your brother while the others are looking at you. That was a passionate kiss for it to be seen as brotherly. You were sucking on each other's tongues and Jack was looking at you as if he couldn't wait to undress you. How can you tell me to calm down?"I sighed. I shouldn't have said that. "I'm sorry, mum. I will tell you everything that

    Quinn"Mia! Wait! Stop!" I shouted at her to stop but she wouldn't. She kept on running, heading outside and I knew that I was messed up if she could get out of the gate. She would misunderstand the whole scenario and harden her heart before I could find my brothers, and go home to beg her.What was she doing here? Scratch that. That wasn't the right question to ask. She could be here for reasons of her own that she knew. The right question to ask was why she would think that I was cheating on her. I understood that the situation wasn't a nice one and it was possible that jealousy suddenly crept up on her but she should have held on to her logic. I was a wolf and never would I cheat on my mate. She was far from thinking right and that was what I had to help her do which was why I had to run to her before she could escape.I ran after her, watching as she took a bend. I sighed. If she could get out of that turn, she would be at the gate and that would be the end of my immediate apolog

    MiaI flicked off the paper in front of me, tired of staring through fonts and ink. I had been busy. No, I had been trying to keep myself busy. Those were what I had been trying to do all day, all week since the boys had left.I missed them. I missed them with an ache that had my heart rolling and I couldn't imagine how they would feel as well since we were all mates and were apart. I was sure that it would be hard on them the same way it was hard on them. I wondered how they felt. We had calls everyday and almost every minute but that couldn't suffice for being together.I couldn't tell if they were in pain from our phone conversation as they were trying hard to hide it from me which was also what I was trying to do. I was also hiding it from them how much I missed them so they wouldn't be distracted and be able to concentrate where they were.I sighed. As if we could hide how we felt. Even if we didn't talk about it, we all knew that we were missing one another greatly. It was the m

    QuinnI thought I had seen the last of Susan by telling her how I didn't miss her but I was wrong. She was more determined to have me in her space and because I mentioned my brothers the other time, she extended a bit of the gesture to them though it was all too obvious that what she was doing to them was fake and all she was concerned about was truly me.I sighed. I hated unnecessary attention of any kind and I had tried my best to avoid it by staying on my own in the barracks but now she was bringing me out in the open against my wish.I didn't like this and I was going to have to talk to her. What did she think that she was doing? That I was going to like it? She was being ridiculous if she didn't know it and she had to be dreaming if she thought that I was going to like her gesture.I remembered that I wanted to tell my brothers something and was about to speak up but the bell beat me to it."Oh! That is the bell for dinner. Shall we?" Jack said."No problem." John replied.We had

    QuinnI missed Mia. I missed her with a pang. I didn't think that I could stay far away from her any longer. It was easier staying far from home when I wasn't a mated wolf but it wasn't the case now. My mind was conflicted and my heart longed to be home where she was.It was affecting my body as well and I had gone weaker and wasn't discharging my duties properly. I wasn't the only one as I had expected. I wasn't the only one mated to Mia and missing her. The three of us were weak and the major had noticed immediately the second day that we reported for duties. We got tired easily and were easily distracted.He had teased us about losing our abilities because we had been away from so long and had told us to get back in shape as soon as we could. I shook his head. If only that he knew. He didn't know that what we needed wasn't more trainings but being by the side of our mate.There was no way that Mia could be allowed to stay and live here with us as she wasn't an officer. We were the

    MiaNo matter how much you anticipated or feared a day, it was going to come. I didn't even have the time to anticipate this time as it had come suddenly. I hadn't been expecting it. How could their major tell them to come back and give them only two days to do so? Who did that? He hadn't even given them time to prepare at all and had just wanted them to be back. Didn't he think that they were going to have to prepare? What if they were in the midst of something important when they had gotten his mail? Were they supposed to have dropped it all and reported to work?I believed that they were. They wouldn't have been military men if that wasn't the case. They weren't meant to complain when they got an order but followed without a complaining.I snorted at my thought. I knew that they were military men before I got involved with them.I was going to miss them. I stood by, watching them with my arms folded on my chest as I watched as they packed their luggage into the car.They turned whe
