MiaI thought that home would be better when I get there but it wasn't. I saw mum standing outside unlike herself, looking worried with a huge frown on her face. Not that it marred her beauty but it was unlike her. She was in a conversation with the cook when I got in and glanced up in surprise when she saw me."Come here, dear." She said as she saw me. "Why are you here?" I didn't feel offended at the question as I knew that she was teasing me. I should have expected the question though. I hadn't been home in some weeks after she came back from the honeymoon trip. I had told her that I couldn't be home because I wanted to give her and her husband the privacy she needed. We both knew that was an excuse but I was grateful that she didn't push it.The boys were home and the newly wedded parents were doing well without a complaint. I could have stayed home if I wanted to but I didn't want to. I felt guilty about the escape of the dark wizard and couldn't face Albert or the boys. I was
MiaThe cat sat on the window sill and mewed, his black eyes shining as it stared at me. I shivered, holding on to myself with my arms as the cold dealt with me. I was cold and yet it felt like I was hot. It was hot. It was strange and I couldn't deal with it.I cursed at myself, wondering why I had chosen to wear the gown I had on. I had on one of the strapless gowns that the triplets had bought for me that I couldn't have rejected because they had given me in the presence of my mum.I scoffed, telling myself that I was being silly. I couldn't have worn that gown even if I had a gun to my head. Asides the gown that mum had forced me to wear then when the triplets had invited me to a party, I didn't think I had ever worn any of the other gowns. I had packed it somewhere so I wouldn't even be tempted to wear them.I wouldn't have worn a gown as light as this when I knew that I would be coming to a place as light as this. I didn't even bring a coat with me. What was I thinking?I frowned
MiaI woke up, feeling cold and pulled my duvet over me. That was strange. What was going on? I clearly remembered that the home heater was on before I went to bed the previous night. I shouldn't be feeling this cold. I pulled the cloth higher over my head but it didn't help.What was the time? I wondered if it was daybreak yet. I couldn't wait for the world to be alive so I could get some breakfast into my body. Maybe I would help with cooking breakfast. I needed some distraction to help me with the bundles of nightmares that I had dealt with.I turned to check the time on my phone and was shocked to see my mum seated beside my bed, staring at me."Mum," I croaked in surprise. "Why are you here?""You wouldn't stop screaming all through the night. I had to be here when I couldn't take it anymore to be sure my daughter is fine."I blushed, feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry to have disturbed you."She flicked her hand, waving my apologies away. "Don't be sorry about that, dear. Anyone ca
MiaThe boys finally moved in and we got settled to business. I avoided looking at Quinn all through the meeting as I couldn't get over the news I had heard about him. I couldn't stop imagining seeing the grim reaper behind him. Albert growled at them. "Why were you late?"Jack grinned in his usual carefree manner. "We saw Mia walk into the study and we thought to give the two of you some father-daughter bonding time."Albert and I scoffed at the same time at his words and then smiled at each other. I knew they wouldn't have been late to show up without a good reason. If only they hadn't done that, I wouldn't have asked Albert any question and wouldn't have known what I did. I wouldn't be tempted to look at him with pity as I wanted to do and I knew doing that was the fastest way for me to get my head off my neck.Quinn hated pity and wouldn't tolerate it if I looked at him with pity. Even if he liked me to the moon and back, he would have dealt with me."Let's get to business." Albe
MiaI messed up. I shouldn't have gone with the men on the search for the dark wizard's items. It had been fruitless. We hadn't found anything that he had left behind. The only thing that had been found was my newly acquired fear for the night. The boys wouldn't stop teasing me about it even though their father had told them to not tease me.I frowned. I didn't know how they had found out that I was afraid despite how hard I tried to hide it. Their supernatural eyes were really working.We all met in Albert's study the next day. It was when we left there that the boys started teasing me and I knew that they had known of my fear."What is your plan for today?" Jack asked as I was leaving.I turned to look at them with my eyebrows arched up. What were they up to again? I didn't trust them. I was starting to but I didn't trust them fully."Why?""You heard dad say he is taking your mum out on date to make up for their honeymoon that was cut short. You want to be home alone?""Are you goi
Mia I almost fell as I was rushing out to the garage, afraid that they had left me behind. I had tried to get ready within that ten minute time frame that he had given me but it had been impossible.It wasn't like I was trying to dress cute for them but I had my pride and image to save. Regardless of what they said or would think, I couldn't just dress up anyhow because I didn't want my brothers to think that I was trying to be enticing to them.I didn't know where they were going and I didn't want to look embarrassed. What if I meet someone that I knew and I was dressed as if I had been robbed of all the clothes that I had?I would be too embarrassed to face the public for days. Moreover, I knew those hooligans that called themselves my brothers wouldn't hesitate to laugh at me if anything embarrassing happened to me.It was better to avoid situations that would bring tears to my eyes after the night. I had already told them that I would be going out with them and despite their impa
MiaIt was surprising that they took me to a karaoke bar. I didn't know they were the type to come to a place like that. I had even thought that another friend of them was having a party like it had been that other day. I guessed that they didn't want to stay home when our parents weren't home just like I didn't want to be alone at home.I had also thought that it would be a rowdy bar that they would take me to based on their personalities. I was expecting them to go to a bar when they were going to grind against ladies and get laid all night. I wasn't going to be surprised if that was what they did. I was prepared to ignore the ladies who were going to be flinging themselves against them all night. The worst of those ladies were those who didn't have shame and would pretend to be my friend hoping that I could help them to get my brothers in bed.I grimaced at the thought of doing that all night but I would rather have that than stay home alone wondering if it was going to be my last d
MiaI had a refreshing dream that night. For the first time in weeks, I didn't have any nightmare about the werewolf brothers or the dark wizard and woke up feeling strengthened and at alert.I wondered if it was because of the outing. We had already eaten dinner outside before we got back and I slept off immediately I showered and hit the bed. I wondered if it was because I had had so much fun and had been wiped out that I didn't have time to think and worry about the thoughts that always plagued my mind before I force myself to drift off to sleep.I hadn't needed to force myself to sleep and that was good. I was going to remind the boys about hanging out with them even if they didn't remember and didn't want me to.I spent the day in my room reading a book. I didn't want to go out where I knew the boys would be. I feared that they might tease me about being clingy to them if they saw me too soon after spending the day with them all through yesterday.I did that the following day, ha
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
