Mia"If I hadn't known better, I would say that was the angry wolf of an alpha." Jack chuckled as he walked in, together with his brothers."Might as well be." John smiled. "After all, she is destined to be the Luna and since there is no other Luna, she can demonstrate the powers of one. Dad being alive as the alpha of the pack is the reason we can't growl as alphas yet. It's not the same for Mia as there is no existing Luna."I sighed as I looked at them. What were they trying to do? Were they trying to remind me of the death of their mother too because the death of my father was brought up? I shook my head, hating that I was being unnecessarily sensitive. They wouldn't have done that."Why didn't you come in as you usually do?" I asked them to get the annoyance off my chest. "I was surprised to find out that you were the ones when you entered after the knock. I had thought that it was someone else."Quinn grinned. "We could have done that but it's obvious that you would be in a mood
MiaI stood by the car, waving at my family. I watched as the maids parked my luggage into the car that my father's family had brought with them. The trunk was large enough to contain a full closet and I rolled my eyes at the car. It was as if they had anticipated my going with them that same day and I was annoyed with myself that I was playing too easily into their game. I wanted to turn back and say I wasn't going again just to hold on to my pride.As if Jack knew what I was thinking of, he shook his head at me. I sighed. He was right. I shouldn't drag this for too long. After all, I had frustrated them a bit and they knew that it wasn't easy for them to get me to move with them.After I had agreed to accept the inheritance, they had asked me to come with them, see what I was to get so they could start the process of transfer of inheritance.They had told me that I would be back within a week and that was why I had gone with them. A week wasn't that long if I found something to keep
MiaI jumped the moment I heard my phone ring. It could be no one else but the boys. I had been waiting for their calls for ages and I was glad that they had finally made it through. They should have called an hour ago. The past one hour had been full of agony though I had tried to keep myself busy by arranging my stuff."Hi," I breathed into the phone.Jack chuckled at my breathlessness. "Did you run to the phone?"I rolled my eyes, angry at myself for giving him a reason to tease me. "As if I would do that. I didn't. I was having some exercise to keep myself busy. My phone was right with me when you called." I lied.I knew I was lying but they weren't here to call me out on it. It wasn't like they knew what I was doing before the call came through. Jack was already insufferable, I wasn't about to give him a reason to feel himself. He was going to tease me for ages. That was not going to happen. I wasn't going to give him that chance."How are you?" Quinn asked.I knew what he was as
MiaMum was wrong. I wasn't about to get new friends, I only succeeded in getting new enemies. I was also wrong. It wasn't about to become interesting. Rather, it became hell for me. I didn't think that I was going to get a warm welcome when we were coming here but I didn't think that I was going to get an hostile welcome as well.The only thing mum was right about was that they were my cousins; cousins who hated me with a passion without knowing me.While I was on the call with mum, they had been looking at me like I was a product on the shelf, set there for their appraisal. Immediately I ended the call with mum, they looked up at me and their eyes were filled with an intense hatred that I took a step back unconsciously. I didn't know what brought that on but I didn't have to wonder for long as they informed me pretty quickly on why they didn't like me."So, you are the new baroness." One of them sneered."Excuse you!" I reacted, hating their tone."Oh! She is already acting like one
MiaIt wasn't just dinner. It was everything. It was all the meals. I didn't think I was going to be able to eat with those snobs. I wondered who the snobs should be. By all standards, it should be me. I was the family of the late baron, even though I never knew him but that didn't matter. I was the new baroness and if I signed to taking charge of the inheritance, I was going to have to pay their father his salary. What was their problem? They had to have one if they believed that they could do whatever they wished and go scot-free.Maybe they thought they had a say in the house because they had lived longer here. I remembered their saying that they knew everywhere in the house. They were having a power trip and trying to show me that I would need their help for a tour of the house if needed. I wondered if they were also being rude because they thought I could be bullied as I was their age mate even though I was the new baroness.They were silly if they thought that was how it worked.
MiaIt was coronation day. I was as nervous as shit. I couldn't keep calm. I knew that it wasn't happening until ten in the morning but I had woken up since five. The maids wouldn't be around until eight to get me ready but I wished they were here already. I couldn't sit still as I wondered what the day was going to be like and being alone wasn't helping matters, it was driving me crazy.I brushed my teeth, had my bath and did my hair even though I didn't have to. I did just about anything to keep myself busy and not think of the day before me. Oh! I was scared. I was scared shitless. I couldn't do this. How would I walk before the crowd? What would they think of me? Would they wonder who I was, where I came from and what I've been doing with my life that they didn't know of me all this while? Would they smile as the title was being conferred on me and truly mean it? Or would they be like rude fake cousins that I had had to avoid until now?I turned as I heard a knock on the door and
ScorpioI wasn't named Scorpio at birth. It was a nickname but had loved it more than my name that I stopped answering to my own name that everyone around me had finally started calling me with the nickname instead of my name.How wouldn't they when I didn't answer anyone unless they called me Scorpio? I had forced them into accepting my new Identity and I loved it. My real name was Anthony but I had always felt it didn't suit me. It didn't suit my personality at all and I was glad when I was finally able to change it.It wasn't a deliberate change but it had been welcome all the same. It had been years ago when I had been a teenager, when I was still a young prince and not yet the ruler of the clan.I had been playing with my friends and we had been trying to run to know who is stronger among all of us by running around. It had been agreed that the winner would get to share my space with me.I didn't know why I was always the prize but this time I didn't mind. Why? Because I wasn't g
MiaIt was good to be back home. I had become the baroness and had also set some structures in place that wouldn't make me be there all the time. As hard as it had been, I had finally found people that I could trust to work for me over there and send reports to me.I couldn't live there forever as much as mum, Durian and Sloan wanted me to. They wanted me to get married there to another titled man and make babies for the throne, to keep the title alive in the alive. I was sorry to disappoint them but I had already gotten my mate and even though we would be making babies, they wouldn't be living there as well. They would also rule from afar as their mother was currently about to do.Even if I wasn't in a relationship, I didn't think I wanted that kind of life that the only reason I was going to be with a man was to give birth to kids who would carry on the throne and title of being a baron or baroness.Giving birth to kids only to ensure a continuation of the family line was a burden 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
