MiaI looked at the new quarters we would be living in and smiled to myself. It was nice to be out in the open and breathe the fresh outside air. Staying in the prison for those few days made me appreciate my freedom better.I looked around our new home, my lips curved with excitement as I checked out the surroundings. I wanted to jump up and down as I was that excited. It felt so good to be free that I felt tears pricking my eyelids and quickly looked away before the boys saw it and started wondering what was wrong with me.I already knew which part of the house was going to be my room. I couldn't wait for Rudolph to finish the tour of the environment that he was giving us and move into the house. I wanted to check out the rooms but I didn't want to rush in and betray my emotions that I was excited."I'm sorry on behalf of the king and the people of how we had treated you." Rudolph said.I sighed and rolled my eyes, wondering when the guy was going to stop. He had never stopped mutte
EthanI woke up with a gasp. I kept doing that lately, sleeping most of the day away. Well, I had nothing else to do. Rudolph had canceled all my court meetings and there was nothing else I had to do but sleep, eat, talk with Rudolph or Ava anytime they come to my room.I always waited for them to come and if they didn't. That was the end of it for me. I was going to be bored for the whole day. I couldn't walk out of my palace as I used to - the part of me that was me couldn't - as I was too ashamed to face my people.The other day that I had decided to take a stroll in the palace, I had overheard some of the maids talking of how I was slowly getting crazy and wondered what was going to happen to the kingdom if I didn't get better. I had sighed and turned back to my chambers, promising myself that I wasn't going to ever get out again.It had been a surprise when I had woken up to find memories that I had no idea of in my brain as usual. I had groaned when I realized that I had gone ou
MiaI was a genius. I smiled as I walked to the quarters where the boys were. They rushed out as soon as they heard my footsteps and engulfed me in a tight bear hug. I chuckled at their show of emotions."Thank goodness. You are back.""Now I can breathe properly.""I didn't think that I slept or ate well all these days."I chuckled at their words. "Calm down, guys. I've only been serving tea to the king. You have nothing to worry about.""You said you were going to be back every evening." Jack reminded me."I am sorry. I couldn't come.""How is he? The king?"I nodded. "He is fine. He is more of himself lately.""I haven't seen him lately. I don't think he has meetings."I nodded again. "I think the tea is making him weak. He stays in bed mostly through the day. Hopefully, we can force the dark wizard out of his body soon and we can get rid of him.""Good." Quinn nodded and sighed, rubbing his chin and I wondered what he was thinking of."I need more of the sap.""Mia!" John gasped.
QuinnAva had made the right choice. She had allowed the continuation of the tea. Well, she had no choice with how persuasive Mia was. Even Rudolph had been bought over when he heard how convinced Mia was. He had been forced to believe that she knew what she was doing.It had been a battle trying to stop myself from laughing out loud despite the dire circumstances as I watched the interaction with the vampires. I wanted to ask her when she became a doctor in supernatural medicine as a joke but I knew that she wouldn't like it. She was invested in this project that I suspected that it was more than healing the vampire king. She wanted to prove a point as well, to herself and others that her idea had validity. This was a personal research for Mia and I didn't know if I should pity the vampire king or feel envious of him for being Mia's lab subject.I decided to pity him. He was Mia's guinea pig and no matter how much I loved Mia, I didn't think that I wanted to be in the position that
MiaI woke up, surprised that I was in my bedroom, the one I had picked for myself in the house before the king decided to make me his court maid and I became his unofficial resident doctor. I didn't know if I had passed out while shifting or had fallen asleep when I was done.I wondered if the boys had had a rough night staying by my side. I wondered how long I was a wolf for and kept them awake. They must have waited all night with me as one of them definitely got me inside and tucked me in bed.With the way I was naked, the shift must have been successful and I had lost my clothes. I groaned, lamenting the loss of my clothes. I loved those clothes and wouldn't have worn them if I had known that I was going to shift that night.I sighed, feeling silly. I should have been conscious of the full moon and knew what day it was. I had known that I was going to shift ever since the wolves had bitten me. Why couldn't I remember that? I snorted, getting over my sulk. It was just a gown and i
AvaI couldn't stop wondering if I had made the right choice by letting the werewolf girl continue the treatment on Ethan. I needed someone to tell me that I had made the right choice.I had found it hard to believe when Rudolph had sat me down and told me what he had learned from the werewolves. It had been a hard pill to swallow but yet it had been easy to accept when I thought of all the strange attitude that Ethan had exhibited. It wasn't likely that everything was because of the fall as we had excused him when he started acting differently. He wasn't the first to fall so why would he be different?I should have suspected that something was wrong with him when he had gone out of the city to raid the house of the werewolves he never knew. It was my fault that I didn't caution him harder when he had started throwing his people into the dungeon for reasons that were irritable to the ears. His reasons were all excuses and he was only acting out as a bully towards his people.I should
MiaI frowned as I looked at the lightning streaking in the sky, it was bright enough that it made the night look like the day even though it was well way past dusk. I winced as I heard the thunder rumbling loudly in the sky as well.I had never been afraid of thunder but this wasn't part of it. I shivered and ran my hands over my shoulders, wiping the sweats off my palms with my clothes.Quinn noticed and moved closer to me. "Are you fine?"I shook my head. "I don't think I am.""What happened? I didn't think you were afraid of the thunder."I shook my head. "I didn't think so too.""But you are at the moment?""It seems like that.""Okay." He nodded. "Come over here."What could I have said to that? I moved closer to him and jumped into his arms. I smiled as I sat between his legs and he wrapped his hands around me."Feeling better now?"I nodded, smiling like an idiot. "Yes.""Good."It felt good to have his arms around me. I could focus on his warmth, scent and breath slightly tea
MiaWe all moved to the bedroom of the king, armed with nothing but our determination and the sap. Today was the D-Day. It was today and no other day else. The dark wizard was going out and down today. We had all had enough.Ava was already seated in the room at the edge on Ethan's bed and cleaning his body as she gazed at him lovingly with love. I pitied her the most of everyone that was concerned in this matter. It must be hard on her though she pretended as if it wasn't but I knew that she must surely have her own days that she would break down in secret.I saluted her courage and strength and respected her for that. I couldn't imagine that it was one of the boys that was in the state that Ethan was, I would have lost it even though I still had two to worry about.I couldn't imagine how she must feel, watching the only man she loved sleeping there, unconscious and fighting for his identity. It hurt that we had no idea of the battles Ethan was dealing with in his head. I hoped that
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
