SashaIt was them. I knew it. I couldn't have forgotten those faces. I couldn't have failed to recognize them. Asides seeing them in my dreams every night through the master's projections, I had their image vividly seared in my head.I couldn't forget that night. I didn't think that I ever could. I was there when my master had been captured by those bastards and their father and locked away in a place where no one knew about.Everyone commended them for locking away the dark wizard, everyone but me. I missed him. I ached to see him again and I couldn't forget about him though I didn't try at all to.How could I want to forget him? I remembered that day like it was yesterday and hissed. I had been too late. I had been too late to save my master. I had been practising some spells with him before he sent me on errands. By the time I came back that day, the alpha of the pack master hated had come for him and won over him in a battle.The only thing I saw as I got back to the venue was a c
SashaShe had said yes to my offer. It took a long effort for me to not show how excited I was when she said I could go with her. That would only make her suspicious and make her wonder why I am excited more than she was about going to her house for the weekend.I could always tell her that it was because I liked her brothers and was happy to see them again but I didn't think I could keep up with that ruse.I couldn't try to have a crush on the boys whose father had captured the master and ruined my dream, not even if my life depended on it. Moreover, I was way older than the boys and pretending to seduce one of them was going to be odd, even for me who had done a lot of things in search of my master.I was up early, preparing for the trip ahead of me. Even Mia was still in bed but that wasn't any of my business. I didn't want to be late and give her any excuse to cancel on me.I had to show her that I really appreciated her kind gesture for inviting me with her. I noticed a bit of gr
MiaI knew something was going on when the triplets had invited me to come for the weekend again. What was their problem? Why were they acting needy? I couldn't believe them. I wondered why they were acting clingy. Were they always this clingy and I had no idea of it because of the presence of our parents?I missed them. It had been a month since they went on their honeymoon and they weren't back yet. Who could blame them? It wasn't as if they had a job or little children to get back home to. They had no reason to rush their honeymoon and come back.My mum and her husband were having a swell time while I was having my own time troubled by my step-brothers.What a life that I had. I scowled at myself.I had allowed Sasha to come with me the last time that I was home because I wanted another company other than my brothers but I didn't think that I could allow her to come with me now. I had almost died of fright when I had seen her taking a walk in the garden because she was bored. I co
SashaI wouldn't say Mia was a fool but she was one to keep falling for my attempt to break into her house and assume that it was because I was lonely. I didn't care whatever she thought of me, all I was concerned about was getting my mission done.We went to the shopping mall and I saddled her with questions so I could know what the werewolves were all like in case my master wanted to get his revenge on them for locking him up all those years. I didn't want to sound like a journalist so I waited, laughing and chatting with them, bidding my time till I could find a way in."What kind of gifts do you want to get for them?" I asked her as we walked towards the gift sections.She sighed. "That is what I'm concerned about. I don't know what to get them. I hope that I am going to find what I like when I see the gifts displayed."I smiled. That was my opportunity to move. "What kind of person are they? Most times, the gifts people like are determined by their personalities.""I don't know."
SashaI held my bag to my chest as I walked, hurrying along the ground as silently as I could even though no one was around to hear me.My heart banged in my chest and I thought that I was going to die with the tension flowing in my bloodstream. My thoughts shouted in my head that the werewolves were going to kill me and tear my body from limb to limb if Mia reported me missing and they searched and found me here.I wasn't going to like what would happen to me and I wouldn't have any excuse. I couldn't say that I was bored and that was why I was moving around in the darkness all alone. There was a party going on which I intentionally chose not to be a part of. They were going to ask me what I was doing in the house and no one would believe that I didn't have an agenda.I didn't think I have the strength in me to confess or deny under torture. I hoped that they didn't catch me until I had found the master. He would be able to save both of us if that happened.I reminded myself that I h
MiaI was looking for Sasha. I didn't see her again all through the day and I wondered if she had gotten bored and left the party. I called her number but she wasn't picking up her calls. I asked but no one knew when she left the party. It was as if she had become invisible. I laughed because I knew I was being ridiculous.It wasn't as if she had any supernatural powers like the dark wizard or could move at a faster speed like the triplets werewolves.I was worried and wondered how she had gone home. It wasn't as if there was any cab sitting around here that could have taken her home. Most of the people here had gotten here with their own car and the boys had arranged for some to be picked up. Sasha and I had gotten here in the ride the boys had sent for us. I looked at the guests all around and realized that nobody had left. They were all still grooving to the music and having fun.Most of the guests were males and friends of the triplets. At first, I had thought that Sasha had hooke
Mia"Dad!" The boys called out in surprise as we all turned to stare at Albert.I couldn't tell if he didn't hear us or intentionally ignored us as he didn't reply and just raced into the house.We looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with him and without hesitation, we all ran after him. That wasn't a normal expression on his face. The Albert I knew was calm and wouldn't have run inside like that. Being without my mum was another reason something was wrong with him."Dad, is there anything wrong with you?" Quinn asked, even as we all raced after him.Where was he going? What was he looking for? He ran to the cave, not even stopping in shock at the sight of the open door as we all did when we saw it.He ran straight ahead till we got to the cage where the dark wizard was kept."No!" He screamed, going down on his knees as he stared at the open cage. "I knew it and hoped that I was wrong."The triplets looked at one another. They couldn't even talk. If I hadn't been here be
QuinnI was born to rule. I was made for power. I was the next alpha after dad. I was the strongest of the three of us. I was the leader of my brothers and also the future leader of the pack.Those were words that I knew right from birth. They had been ingrained in me from the start and I held on to it. As I stood in the cave though and looked at my dad howling on the ground at the disappearance of his enemy, I didn't feel like I was strong at all. I didn't feel like I was the leader of anyone. I didn't feel like I could rise to trouble one day to save anyone in the pack if they were in distress.I felt like shit. I felt numb as I looked at my dad and knew I was as helpless as my brothers felt. I felt like a fake and all my days of being strong and coming to the rescue of my brothers vanished into thin air in my memory at the sight of washing my father in despair.How could I dare to say I was the future leader when I couldn't even protect my father from the pain in his heart? How co
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
