MiaI could still feel eyes on me. I felt like an ant under a microscope and all my moves were being observed and recorded. It was getting worse with each passing day and night, most especially at night because that was when I felt it the most. I was starting to get anxious and it showed in everything I did. I jumped when I heard my name. I watched my back everytime I walk at night. I almost ran like crazy the other night I was walking home and felt someone trailing me only for the person to make a turn at the next junction. I almost jumped out of my skin at work two days ago when the office telephone rang. It took me a while to realize that it was the telephone on my desk but by that time, everyone already had their eyes on me, wondering why I looked like I had seen a ghost at the sound of the phone.I was becoming a nutcase as the days progressed and I felt sad that I couldn't even go for therapy. How would I tell the shrink about werewolves and the dark wizard? She would make a ca
Mia"What are you doing?" I hissed at him as I broke free from his hold."What does it look like to you?" He replied with that cool tone that used to sound intimidating to me. At the moment, I was too annoyed to bother with his cold attitude.Gerald looked from me to him, wondering what was going on. He looked lost and confused and I felt bad about putting him in this spot. He might not talk to me at work after tonight and that hurt. He was meant to be my distraction but Quinn had just ruined that for me. Quinn was going to leave tonight and ruined my chances of being with someone who was going to stay to solve my dilemma.That alone, asides from his sudden appearance and rude attitude, was enough to get me mad at him."Can someone please tell me what is going on or make some introductions?" Gerald asked. "Did you go out with me with a boyfriend waiting for you at home, Mia?"I winced at the accusation in his words and felt ashamed even though I didn't do what he thought I did. I coul
MiaTwo weeks had passed since I kissed Quinn. Oh! How much it shamed me to say that I kissed him. I guessed I would have felt better if I had been able to say that he kissed me instead but I couldn't deny that I kissed him.I had kissed him and I couldn't deny that. I could still feel how my lips had moved under his, in response to his nudges. I was embarrassed.It was said that time healed all wounds and people forgot events easily with it but I couldn't forget that night. It was etched in my brain and I doubted that I could forget it. I could still remember everything, every tiny detail of the kiss, how my moan had sounded, how my skin had clung to him, how my arms had gone ahead of me and did what I didn't ask them to by holding on to me.I felt like a slut, one with short memories. I hissed at myself. Even sluts didn't kiss any of their brothers but I had gone ahead to kiss two of them. I was embarrassed. I still remember how Quinn had teased me about enjoying the kiss. I felt aw
MiaI couldn't take it anymore. Quinn was the same the following day. He acted like I didn't exist during breakfast, ignoring me like he always did. The same thing happened at lunch and I couldn't hold on to my patience anymore. How could he come over to my place when I wasn't expecting him, kiss me and still be the one playing hard to get? It just wasn't right.Even as a girl, I wasn't thinking much of boys. It was ironic that my boy problems began when I was in my twenties.I watched his pace at dinner. I noticed that he was eating his meal quickly again and had decided to leave early. I matched my pace with his and started to rush my food. I planned to finish eating and leave the table before him. I didn't trust him. I knew I wasn't going to catch up to him if I allowed him to leave first. I was going to leave and wait for him. He would have no chance of escaping me that way."Mia, you seem to have a hearty appetite tonight." Mum grinned at me."The food is good." I smiled at her,
MiaI dashed to my room in a rush. I didn't even bother to lock the door, deciding to deal with it later. If I had known, I would have locked it because it was an act that I regretted moments later.I was troubled in my mind. What have I done? I shouldn't have asked Quinn why he was avoiding me. Now, everyone knew how I felt and what had happened.I paced around the room, clenching my hands together and bit my lips, lost in thoughts. My phone rang and I jumped, rushing to it. I smiled as I saw the caller ID. Just who I needed to talk to at this moment of crisis."Anna!" I gushed into the phone.She chuckled. "What is this all about? Are you that happy to hear from me?""Of course, I missed you." I replied and feeling a bit guilty that I was lying to my friend. I missed her but not as much as I was pretending to be. I was only acting this way because I needed someone to talk to."I missed you too, friend." She smiled. "How have you been?"Getting myself in trouble. "Bored. It's nice t
MiaIt was a week after I left home. The weekend was fast approaching and I dreaded mum's call. I wasn't going home this weekend. I had meant to tell her when I was leaving but I didn't have the courage to. I was afraid that she would cry and make me promise to visit.Dealing with her on phone was better and I was grateful for the invention. I decided to call her before she called me and I got sentimental and pushed into making the trip back home. I was going to be in charge if I called and steered the conversation to where I wanted.Who knew who was going to ask for a kiss this time? Maybe John. That would be weird, totally weird.She picked up on the first ring as if she had been waiting for my call. "Mia, I was just about to call you." She grinned.No wonder she had picked up so fast. "Good afternoon, mum.""Are you coming home this weekend? I made some changes to the decor of the house. I bet you would like it. The boys and Albert say it's good. Come home and tell me what you thi
Mia"Come here." He said, pulling me close to him as he noticed that I was shaking, though slightly.I didn't argue with him and went to him compliantly. He was shocked as I rested my head on his shoulder and I could feel it when his breath hitched in his throat and when he finally released it. I was surprised that I allowed such close-skin contact with him. I must have been shaken more than I realized.Of course, I was shaken. It wasn't every day someone met a person who was ready to kill them because he wanted to rob them.I let out a shudder, remembering that u could have died this night if Quinn hadn't been there to save. It was funny in an odd sort of way that I had been worried about the dark wizard and expecting him to be the one to kill me that I hadn't thought of the danger that the humans around me could also pose.I was glad Quinn had been around regardless, even if he had been lurking around to save me from the dark wizard. "Drink up your tea so you can go to bed."I nodd
MiaWhat have I done? I groaned out a curse as I sat up in bed, my eyes widening in alarm as I noticed that I was naked.I felt sore underneath and didn't need to touch myself to know that I was dripping wet. Slowly, the events of the previous night came to my mind and I cringed, overwhelmed with the need to run inside a closet and hide my face from the world.What have I done? I doubted that I was ever going to stop asking myself that question. I had lost my shame and dignity for some moments of pleasure.What was Quinn going to think of me now?There was no pretense again for me. There was nothing I was going to say that he would believe me. I had shown him that I wanted him and he was going to chase after me like a bloodhound till I wholly surrendered to him.What was I saying? Being with one was agreeing to be with the three of them.Quinn was going to keep coming around till I surrendered and agreed to be a mate to all of them. I remembered how Jack had reacted when he found ou
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
