QuinnAlbus looked at the two of us and waved his right hand down and then blew the whistle, declaring the fight for the alpha hunt open.Tyrex and I growled and dashed into each other without any more prompt. We didn't need anyone to tell us what we had to do as she knew it already. We had already been told what to do for years and had been groomed for it.We charged at each other, our fists going mad at each other. I grunted as he hit me on the face and I growled, packed my punch tight and got him on his jaw. He growled, his eyes rolling back in his head and then I smiled, loving the crack of his hard bones. Watching him in more pain than I was made me feel better about my own.We were at it for five minutes and eventually I won, landing a jab at his hind leg from behind which made him lose his footing and slumped to the ground. That was all I needed to win. I didn't need much. I only needed to have the hand of my opponent touch the ground. As soon as his hand touched the ground, I
QuinnI walked out of the room few minutes later without waiting for Tyrex to come back. There was no need to do that. He would see the meat I had killed and that was the proof he needed to know that he had lost to me. It wasn't a total loss though as the one who lost in the duel for the position of the alpha automatically became the general of the pack.I hoped that the two of us would be able to work together for the better purpose of the pack. It wasn't an easy thing to wish for at this moment but I hoped that we could make it work. With the way Fedro hated my guts and the win that I had, I could only hope that he didn't incite Tyrex to rebel against me.I hoped that Tyrex wasn't a fool and a man of his own. I hoped that he wasn't swayed by Fredo to cause trouble and we would be able to have a stronger pack with the cooperation of the two of us.I decided that I would have a meeting with Tyrex after our initiation ceremony as the alpha and the general of the pack. I would have had
QuinnIt was coronation day. It was festival time. It was jubilation time. The pack was in a festive mood and I didn't think anything could stop that, not even Fredo's angry glares as he moved around the party. What was his problem? He should go back to his house if he felt like he didn't want to be here instead of acting up and walking around, looking like he would love to have a pass at our heads with his claws. Not that anyone cared about his sour looks. Everyone was too happy to care. It turned out that the wolves were happy that I got to be their alpha. There was a huge turnout of all the werewolves in the pack for the celebration event that we didn't have enough room for all the guests even though the mansion of the alpha was the biggest house of all the houses owned by anyone in the pack.We had to ask the werewolves to manage the rooms, four to a person and they didn't mind. They were all just too happy to have an excuse to be together, see one another and celebrate. Though it
QuinnI felt a sense of deja Vu as I stood before the men with Tyrex. We had had our meeting and had both worked out a plan for how we were going to run the pack and any war that we were to have. I was elated that Fredo wouldn't come in between us. He seemed like a man that had a mind of his own and I was glad that he hadn't disappointed me.He was truly meant to have dueled for the position of an alpha. He was meant to be the general of the pack.Standing before the men and looking at them reminded me of when I had stood before the soldiers of the vampire clan and was preparing them for war. That was what I was doing here as well. We were preparing for war, finally going against those who had dared to come after the men in our pack. Those were the men who had been the reason the elders had come to dad, why he had to confess to them that he wasn't strong and why we had had to have dueling ceremony faster than it was planned.I hoped that we wouldn't be having a war though. Not that I
QuinnI was back home. We had won the war. We had chased off the wolves to wherever else they could go through and had gotten our men back. I knew that the men weren't ever going to come back with what we had done to them.I had been trying to have pity on them, knowing they were a homeless pack and wanted to reach a compromise with them, working on how they could live happily with our men without breaking any code of conduct and making a mess of the law but they hadn't composed themselves in the manner of a pack that I would want my men to live with. Before long, if care wasn't taken and I allowed my men to get used to men as barbaric as that, they would be corrupted by their bad manners and start living as animals which was less than what they were.I leaned on my bed as I got out of the bathroom and splayed wide, explaining the rest I had. I needed it after the war that I had fought with those miscreants.I heard a subtle knock on the door and wondered who it was. Mia and my brothe
QuinnEventually, the silence was broken by Albus. He still looked stunned though. I glanced at Fredo and I was just a breath away from laughing and if not that I had to keep my prestige as a leader, I would have cracked open with laughter at the expression on his face.He looked stunned of them all, blinking repeatedly at me as if he couldn't believe his eyes.Hadn't he always loved acting as if he knew everything about me? I bet he wasn't expecting that."Isn't she your sister?" Albus asked."My step-sister. We aren't biological." I said in my defense."Is that what you say to yourself to make yourself feel better?" Fredo asked. "Is that what you said to yourself when you set out to seduce the poor girl? Is this why you've been single for long and wouldn't want to date anyone in the pack? Wouldn't you have dated someone else if your father hadn't married that human female? Didn't you see anyone else to mate with except that frail human girl?" He sighed. "This is ridiculous."I scowl
MiaI was bored. I missed the boys like crazy. I hadn't seen them for up to a day at a stretch ever since we got that call from Albert and had been told to return home.They had been busy with the preparations to make Quinn the alpha of the pack and even after he was alpha, there had still been no time to see one another. He had been busy on one official outing or the other as the alpha, seeing to the welfare of his people and going about visiting alphas of the neighborhood packs and renewing their relationship with them.Jack and John weren't the alpha but that didn't mean that they weren't as busy as he was. They were both either on official duties of the pack or off to another assignment on Quinn's behalf to help him. After all, everyone knew that they were the alpha's brothers and no one would have disputed their words if they had said anything.Moreover, they looked the same as Quinn did so they could easily pass off as him on assignments or journeys that needed Quinn's attention
MiaI was racked with nerves. I was afraid. I didn't think that I had ever been afraid in my life. My heart beat loudly as if it was going to jump out of my heart and I knew that I didn't have to knock on the door when I got to Albert's study to announce my arrival to the elders and whoever was in there.With the superior hearing of the wolves and the way my heart was beating loud enough to compete with the beats from a drum, I was sure that they would have heard me coming, even from miles apart.I was about to get to Albert's study when I turned back and ran outside to the garden. I couldn't do this. I couldn't do it. I couldn't face the elders when I was this much of a mess and didn't even know what they wanted from me. I had to be composed to stand before them and not be torn into shreds by them but I couldn't find it in me at all to compose myself.I ran all the way out to the garden seeking some fresh air for myself. Maybe after some minutes out there, I would have gotten the str
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
