MiaOh good! I couldn't stop smiling to myself when Quinn checked his map and announced to us that we were almost at the Aselia tree. Even though I had been tired, all my fatigue went away. The journey was about to come to an end and all the stress we had gone through was about to be worth it.I moved forward, amazing the boys at how quickly I walked. I walked faster than they did and scowled as they walked up to where I was. I didn't have to wait for them to catch up with me for crying out loud. They were werewolves and while I was human, well semi-human since they had said that I had been turned into a werewolf that exciting night.Not that I minded a lot but they could have asked me about my opinions before they turned me. I scoffed as I remembered how the night had been. It wasn't like I gave them much chance to talk. I had gotten myself naked unexpectedly before them and practically ordered them to take and mark me. Which kind of men would have resisted that sort of temptation es
Quinn"Mia!" I screamed into the air as I got up on my feet even though I knew that she wasn't going to hear me.I blinked back tears as I wondered where she was and what she was likely going through at the hands of those devious creatures. I couldn't believe that they had disappeared with her. What an unfair fight. I didn't even think that they could do that but I should have guessed when they had introduced themselves as the guardians of the forest. Disappearing into thin air was a skill needed for their job descriptions.I winced as I stretched my arm, trying to fix it back into place. The bastards had flung me too hard. I heard groans from my brothers and knew that I wasn't the only one dealing with pain.Our arms would heal, in the next few seconds, and we were not worried about that. The real pain was in our hearts. How would we get Mia back? Where did we even know that she had been taken captive to?I didn't have to read the minds of my brothers to know they were worried of th
MiaI was enraged. I was mad. How dare they take me against my wish? It was ridiculous that they did that and believed I wouldn't be mad about it. What a crazy lot that they were.I looked around at where we were as we became form again. It was dirty, shaggy and looked ridiculous just as they were.The one holding me released me and smiled as he stared at me. "Welcome home."I snorted, looking at the others. They seemed to be saying the same thing with their eyes and I shook my head at how pathetic they were. If they weren't, they wouldn't assume that I would find it comfortable here after what they had done.I moved away from them, hissing with annoyance. I looked around, searching for an escape route but there was no path at all. Everywhere surrounding us was filled with bushes and dense trees and I didn't want to run into them when I had no idea of how safe they were.I didn't want to dash into the bushes and find myself in a situation that would make me regret my life. It was no w
JackWe moved on the journey, to each their own thoughts, everyone lost in their problems. We were silent all through the walk, not because just because we had nothing to say, we also didn't want to. What was there to talk and laugh about. As jovial as I was, I didn't have anything to say as well. I was more worried about the state that my darling poor Mia was in more than the awkward silence that trailed us as we walked.On a normal day, I hated silence wherever I was, especially one that was as freezing as this was. I would have found a joke or anything to not make the journey long but right now, I didn't care. I wanted the silence. I needed it as it allowed me to think the way I wanted to. I craved it. I loved it just the way it was.I was worried that we wouldn't get to Mia on time, thinking that the horse wouldn't be able to work as fast as we did. I realized that I was being ridiculous. He kept his pace with us and I was proud, more than impressed.He seemed to have his own stor
QuinnI hoped that he wasn't right. I hoped that he wasn't right about what he had said. I hoped that wouldn't happen. I couldn't deny that I was apprehensive all through the journey. Neigh had successfully put fear in my heart with his sad tale. I was sad about his loss but I was more worried for the girl who was still alive than the one who had died. I had pretended like I wasn't listening to the way they were talking but it was hard for me to not have heard especially when I heard that they had killed Neigh's sister.I knew how Mia was. I knew that she was going to frustrate the trolls. She wasn't ever going to be their plaything. If only they knew that she wasn't that friendly. I didn't want to see her dead body. I would be crushed if that ever happened."What are you thinking of?" Jack asked as he saw the expression on my face."Aren't you thinking of the same thing I am?" I replied."Don't worry. Mia wouldn't be so easily killed. She is strong, stronger than she looked."I wante
MiaMy stomach grumbled and I rubbed my hands over it. The damned traitor. I couldn't believe that I dared to be hungry in this kind of situation. What was wrong with me? Why would I be hungry at this time? Why wouldn't I? It had been hours ago I had been abducted and hadn't eaten anything since then.Moreover, I had a weird tendency to eat whenever I was stressed. I didn't think that anything could have been more stressful than the situation that I was in.The trolls heard and came rushing to where I was. As usual, only their leader talked and smiled at me. "Are you ready to eat now?""As if I was going to eat what you have." I scoffed at them."Don't be too stubborn.""What is your business if I am?""You are making us feel bad. It's hard on us to watch you suffer.""Then let me go. No one will have any reason to be hurt anymore."He scoffed. "Stop suggesting the impossible. You know we can't. It will be hard on us to let go of our bride.""It's hard on me to see you keep on dreami
JackThere was a game I used to play with my brothers when I was young. I had missed it but I was finally going to be able to play it again today. I used to love the game when I was young and even now, as an officer. Then, I would play shoot with my brothers, shifting into wolves and running at one another with our claws when the game got intense. As an officer, I enjoyed shooting at the enemies with my guns, loving the sounds as the bullets popped and echoed in the air.That was fun. I didn't have guns now but I was going to shoot at some idiots and I was going to enjoy doing it. John was a genius. I couldn't imagine how he had come up with the idea. I shrugged. That wasn't a big deal. John had always been a genius. We all were.We waited as patiently as we could, knowing that they were going to come out soon to check up on Mia. Neigh had told us of how obsessive they were with women that they abducted. He had also told us of how we could weaken them so we could defeat them easily.W
JackMia was talking with Neigh, the two of them facing each other when we got there. That wasn't unexpected. Neigh was a good storyteller and she would have found him to be a charmer. It was also weird that we wouldn't expect her to have made friends with the person who had saved her. It wasn't like I was mad but I would have loved it if I had found her waiting for us and showing that she did instead.I shrugged off the negative emotions. What did I intend to gain from wanting her look worried? She had suffered over the past few days, she deserved some laughter and peace now. I had to grow up and get over my jealousy. Yes, I realized that it wasn't that she was laughing that got me acting out, it was who she was laughing with.I was being silly. Why would I be jealous of Neigh? It wasn't like she was going to leave us to get mated to a horse. That was no offense to Neigh because he was a good friend to us over the past few days that we had met. We wouldn't have found Mia on time if i
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
