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
MiaDamn. Shit. Fuck. All three rolled into one and it wouldn't still have been enough for the emotions running through me. I felt guilt, annoyance and more guilt thrumming in my veins. We shouldn't have been too tired. We should have checked the letter.We had all slept off the moment we got to our rooms and didn't wake up for hours. Even the food that had been made for us had to be warmed up before we could eat it as it had gotten cold while we were still sleeping.John had finally come back home, told us he went for a drive as he was bored at home and we had all eaten dinner. We had then remembered the letter and it was then that we had gotten the shock that we hadn't been expecting.The messenger who had brought the letter had been right. We hadn't needed to think long about who had brought it. Even though it had not been addressed at the outer part, we had known who sent it the moment we opened the letter."From your once crazy fanged friends." Quinn had read out as soon as he op
MiaIt was a wonder how relationships can change actions. When we were coming here for the first time to look for Albert, we had been stopped by the border guards, drilled so much that we had to wonder if we were coming to steal from them or to get back what had been stolen from us.Now, it was different. The guards were there but it seemed like they had been waiting to welcome and usher us into the land. They smiled and bowed the moment they saw us, fussing all over us that it was uncomfortable.One of them reached for the bag in Quinn's hands and it took his quick reflexes to keep him from getting it. He didn't have to do that. We were fine on our own and could carry our luggage ourselves. It was just one bag that all our stuff was in and that wasn't too much of another. Moreover, we were both supernatural beings. Why did they have to pick up after us as if we were tired?"You are welcome back, sirs and Miss." One of the guards said, with a slight bow.I noticed that there were six
QuinnEthan was right. The food was delicious. I could feel my mouth watering already the moment we stepped into the dining room. He hadn't been lying when he said he had told his men to go all out and they had done so.His subjects really loved him and respected his orders. Now that they all had put the past behind them, they were with joy treating him as the king they had once loved and respected.It would have been a fairy tale if it hadn't been for the attacks by unknown sources that they were facing and didn't know what to do with it. I sighed as I looked at Ethan, hoping that this could be resolved as fast as they could. He was trying to be strong but I could see that he was really bothered by the events that were going on. His eyes were filled with fatigue and worry though he tried to soften them with his smiles.I snorted. He had to try harder. He couldn't fool me. He was in pain and he didn't have to hide that from us.What was the problem? That was all I could wonder and thi
Quinn"Do you know Ava is pregnant?" Mia asked as we got to the house we were to stay in. It was the same one we had stayed in when Rudolph got out of prison.I was glad that they didn't give us another house. We were already comfortable here and wouldn't have to start worrying about getting comfortable in another house.I looked at Mia and smiled. Her face was lit up with smiles as she spoke. She must truly be happy for her friend. I looked at her belly and imagined how she would look like when she was pregnant with my child. Even though she would be round with our child, I knew she would be beautiful still.Mia continued talking and chuckled. "She says she wants it to be a boy so Ethan would have an heir as soon as possible but he wants it to be a girl. He says he wants a beautiful princess who looks just as adorable as she was. Aren't they both cute?"I smiled. The only thing that was adorable to me was her and the smile on her face. I could watch her all day long and listen to her
ScorpioJasper walked angrily into my room, his expression furious and he glared at me with venom in his eyes. I arched my eyebrows at his rudeness but I wasn't angry.Jasper was my friend but he wasn't one to misbehave to me on that ground. He was one of the men who knew how to set the boundaries between friendship and duty when I had become the king of the land. He wouldn't have done what he had done without a reason and I was curious to know what that reason was.I wanted to know why he had dared to barge into my room without knocking. I wanted to know why he dared to look at me with those blazing, furious eyes when he knew that he could be punished for it. I didn't think that I had done anything to offend him to make him not care about the consequences of his actions. I didn't think that he was acting rashly as well. He wasn't someone like that. He was one of the most cool-headed people I knew. For him to have done what he did, he had thought of it for a long time before making hi
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
