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
Mia"What is this?" Jack asked.I nodded. What was that? I was about to ask Neigh that same question. Was he sure that he wanted us to get home safely? I was suspicious of him because he looked like he was about to kill us instead."The exit hole." He smiled at Jack. "You are always full of questions.""I learned from best." He said, pointing at me.I blushed. He didn't have to put it all on my head."Are you sure this is the exit?" I asked Neigh."Or it is a grave for burying those who came to the island for daring to step in?" Jack added.Neigh laughed. "Why are you being funny when you are leaving? Even if it is a grave for burying those who came to the island, would I do that to you after all that we had been through together? It would be nice if you guys can trust me as I trust and see you as my friends.""It's sad that we will have to break up now, friend." Jack grinned at him.I sighed. He was making it too obvious that he didn't want to stay here. I believed Neigh wanted us to
Mia"Yay! We did it." We screamed as we got to my room, jumping around like kids with our hands held together.I inhaled the air, loving the familiar smell of my bedroom. It was good to be back home. I couldn't wait to have a long soak in the bath tub and sleep for hours on end. I would pick the comfort of my bed anytime over being on that island but Albert came first this minute. We had to free him before we start to think of rest.We should go to his study, check if there was a material that could help us track his whereabouts. We would find his broken soul, kill him, save Albert and be back to our big, happy family. I missed mum and I knew that she would have missed me greatly. She would have called while I was at the forest and probably worry herself to death for not being able to reach me.I sighed. I would send her a text later to tell her that I was fine and apologize for not calling because I was busy. I couldn't afford to call her because I didn't trust myself or my voice. Wh
MiaI sank to my knees beside Quinn and wrapped my hand around him. I hated to see him that way. It broke my heart to see him that way. He looked ragged with pain and my heart constricted with more pain at the sight of him, even though I had my own problems to deal with. I was annoyed and enraged at the abduction of the statue of their father as the boys were and I wondered who could have taken him.Quinn's emotional outburst was making it hard on us all and I didn't know what I was going to do about it. I didn't know how I was going to help him. I sat there though, wrapping my hands around his shoulder as I laid my head on his back and hoped that was going to be enough for him.I thought of who could have taken Albert so we could know how to find him. It couldn't have been the dark wizard as he had been injured and couldn't morph into his physical form. The only apprentice that I knew with him was Sasha and she was dead. I had been there when she was buried so there could be no doubt
Ethan"What are you planning, my lord?"I scowled at Rudolph as he walked into my palace. His voice had always been loud but I didn't know it had always been this loud. It was giving me headache and I cringed as I rubbed at the sides of my head.What was wrong with me? Headache? I had never had headache. Everything had been strange since I had fallen on that slope and hit my head on a rock. I was supposed to have healed immediately but apparently, I hadn't. I had reportedly been unconscious for four days, something which had never been heard of and gotten my people worried.I was a vampire and should have healed fast from the fall. I shouldn't have gone unconscious if I had had my head bashed open by a rock, it was embarrassing that I had done that because I hit my head against a rock.I had been weak. I still felt weak at times. I could feel the fatigue of the other day in my veins but the doctor had said that it was going to go.Rudo
QuinnI knew it. I knew dad would have something in his library. I knew he would have done some research on them. The man was well versed and knowledgeable in research that I wondered how he had everything and had the time to date and his work."You are coming with us." I told Mia as I brought out the map and ran my eyes over it, memorizing the landscapes and the miles we would have to walk.Those bastards must have come with a private plane as their land wasn't accessible by road from where we were. I couldn't stop wondering why they would go through all that stress to come here when we had no business with them.She snorted and rolled her eyes. "As if you have any other alternative. Would I have stayed at home and wait for you even if you had told me that I couldn't come with you?"I chuckled. She had a point. She wouldn't have stayed at home. What was the point of arguing with her? Moreover, I couldn't leave her at home and have something happen
Mia"We are almost there."I snorted at Quinn's words, hoping that he said that for his own benefit and not mine. I was going to flip out if they were for me. I was strong, stronger than I looked. I kept telling them that but they wouldn't listen. They needed to stop treating me like a baby or a deformed bunny. They made uncomfortable and insisted that I was meant to have gotten used to their preferential treatment of me by now.Get used to what? As if it was that easy. I snorted at the ridiculous idea. If only they knew how much the independence streak in me cringed at their overprotective attitude, they would have stopped all this while. Or would they? I thought again. I didn't think so. Those boys were so arrogant and self-conscious that they believed themselves to be better. They would have told my independent streak to stop being stubborn if it was a person and they could meet it.I couldn't wait to have my transformation complete and maybe they would learn to stop seeing me as t
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
