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
EthanI looked at my beautiful Ava walking towards me and looking radiant in her bridal gown. It was our mating ceremony again and this time, it was certain that it was going to happen for good. We had gone through some rough times and had finally put it behind us. I was glad that Ava had decided to marry me again.It felt good to be back to myself and I felt appalled at all what I had done and said while I was crazy. I would also choose to call it my crazy period as my pride wouldn't allow me agree that I was possessed by an evil being.The guilt of all that I had done pressed down on my conscience and I couldn't stop worrying about it. I had been wracked with guilt, shame and depression for days after everything was over that I wouldn't even go out to see anyone. It was Ava, Rudolph and the wolves who constantly cheered me up and reminded me that it wasn't my fault that all those things had happened.I didn't think I could ever have gotten over my nasty emotions if it hadn't been fo
QuinnFinally, we were home. I couldn't believe it. I knew that we weren't going to die in the land of the vampires but it felt like we were never going to get home. It was good to be back home. I breathed in the familiar scent of the air, loving how the wolf in me ticked with joy.There was an unrivaled way about how good it always felt to be back at home, on our turf, in our territory. It smelled like earth, fur, sweats and bones, just the way I had smelled it as child, loved it and had gotten used to it. I could see the way my brothers moved their nostrils and I knew that I wasn't the only one who was happy to be back home.It was the way it always was when we got back from the sea on leave as well. I loved being a marine officer, going on field operations and doing my job diligently but nothing could ever beat the excitement I felt whenever I was at home.Maybe after we were done with everything we had to do, we could shift and go for a run. Mia would also join us. I was excited t
MiaIt was nice to see the house back to its former state. We had cleaned up the house without the staff. Albert didn't want them to deal with the sight of the messed up house and have trauma of the incident that he was certain they were trying to keep buried. I knew already that he was a good man that what he did didn't surprise me anymore.After the house had been cleaned and everything restored to their position, we had started putting calls through to the staff. They had been relieved to hear that we were back home and safe and we were relieved that they were interested in working with us again.They were all back yesterday and we were a happy family once again. At the moment, we were seated at the dining table enjoying a treat from the cook.There was laughter all around the table and I was glad to see that. I was overjoyed to see the relaxation on the faces of everyone. It was easy to forget the rough journey we had all been through this last month."Here you go."We all looked
QuinnI didn't know if Mia was getting back at us for wasting her time the other day we had been about to travel on a voyage to the Sea of Death or she was truly taking her time to look good for where we was going.It had been more than ten minutes that we were all supposed to meet and we were already at the car but she was nowhere to be found."When is she going to be here?" Jack frowned."Let's give her some time." I said even though I had the same thought in my head."Here I am." She smiled as she joined us.Holy Fuck, I breathed in wonder. The doubts in my head were all cleared up. She wasn't taking her revenge on us. She was taking her time to look good for us. She looked amazing and breathtaking. I couldn't take my eyes off of her and neither could the others.We watched with hearts beating fast and eyes going wide the closer she got to us. She looked beautiful, more than I had ever seen her before and I knew she had worn this on purpose. She wore one of the gowns that we had bo
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
