MiaI was home the following weekend, not eager to be in pain because I was away from Quinn.I woke up, stretching in bed and choosing not to think of the dream I had. I was already getting used to the familiar dream. Human beings really didn't take long to adapt. I no longer found it weird that Quinn appeared in my dreams.It was as if my subconscious was also trying to remind me that it was a 'like one, get two free' situation. Lately, I was starting to dream of Jack and John and it was as sensual as when I dreamt of Quinn even when I had not slept with them.If I hadn't known better, I would have thought that the boys were responsible for the dreams that I had. Quinn had confirmed to me that they couldn't read minds and I doubted that they could control minds if they couldn't. Albert had told me that the dreams were going to happen because of the bonding. He seemed familiar with the concept. That meant that I would have the dreams as a bonded mate even if it was one werewolf. It wa
MiaI loved parties. I was always excited anytime I heard about one. I could remember all the fun I had had attending parties as a child but now all I could think of when I thought of parties was dread.I had started dreading open parties where there was no bouncer at the entrance and anyone could walk right in ever since the dark wizard had shown up.Albert's birthday was coming up soon and the boys were thinking of throwing him a surprise party. Afraid because of what had happened the last time, I had tried to persuade them to have the party but they wouldn't listen.I didn't want a repeat of what had happened the last time. I didn't think having a party out here while our enemy was lurking around was a good idea. I would have preferred us to celebrate Albert on a low profile right in the house and take him out later in the day."Let's not have a big party." I told the boys as we sat in the garden, having our secret meeting and talking of the party.They had invited me over to their
JackI smiled as I carried the cake in my hands and watched as Quinn knocked at dad's bedroom door. We all waited for him to answer, our eyes twinkling with mischief. I knew my siblings were excited about today just as I was. Even Mia looked excited about all her protests about not having a party."Who is there?" Dad growled from the bedroom.He was still asleep which was good. Our visit was the perfect way for him to start his day."We are the one, dad.""Oh! You kids." He groaned, hating to have his sleep disturbed.I chuckled at his mild annoyance. This was going to be a lot of fun."Come in." He said.Quinn pressed down on the knob and we started singing as we walked in."Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you, daddy. Happy birthday to you!"Dad's eyes widened as he saw us and the cake. Veronica sat up in bed and held her hand to her mouth in surprise. Dad's eyes filled with tears as he moved forward to blow the candles and my heart soared with joy. Th
Mia"Are you sure you are going to be okay, my love?" Mum asked as we pushed her luggage into the trunk of the car.I nodded. "Of course, I don't live here. I will be fine. I won't come home so I don't have to deal with the annoying change in weather.""Please be safe." She urged me and I moved to give her a hug.She sighed as she stepped back from the hug. "Be good. Okay, dear?""Yes." I said, hoping that she would move soon. I didn't want her to stay here for too long. I was afraid the dark wizard might show up anytime and I had no doubt that she was going to be his target. (Yes, I had decided to start referring to him as a man instead of the woman I had kept on referring him to. It didn't matter that he had shown himself as a woman to me, he was called a dark wizard and I should address him as such. I had embarrassed my high school English teacher enough. Mrs. Wells would have scowled at me for my usage of pronouns though she wouldn't understand why I had to do that.)I didn't wa
Mia"What do you mean by you are resigning?" Sean looked at me as if I was speaking a different language that he didn't understand.I gulped. I had known that this was going to be hard. Even if I wanted to resign, I was meant to have given him a notice prior to this moment. "I'm sorry, sir.""Sorry?" He scowled at me. "That doesn't cut it. You would like to quit your job in a week and you are just telling me. Who does that? You are one of my best employees and you want to leave suddenly like this, without giving me time to find a replacement for you.""I'm sorry, Sean."He glared at me. "Don't say those words again, Mia. You are getting me infuriated."I sighed, holding my breath and pursed my lips as I looked at him. I hated the position that I was in as well but I had to do it. Albert had called me this morning to remind me to submit my resignation letter when I got to the office as if he feared that I wasn't going to do that.I had given him my word that I was going to resign. Eve
MiaI was surprised when my colleagues started trooping into my office five minutes before closing time. I had no idea of what was going on but I knew it wasn't normal.I wondered what was going on as I looked at them all. None of them told me anything and just smiled at me, acting as if they were not acting abnormally.I sighed in relief when I saw Gerald walk in with Sammy and rushed to their side."What is going on?" I asked them.Gerald snorted. "What do you mean by what is going on? You were the one who decided to resign. Weren't you expecting people to hear of it?"I took a step back and glanced at Gerald. He seemed angry at me and I felt I needed to confirm before I left. "Are you mad at me?"He snorted. "Mad at you? Why would I be?"I sighed. "Gerald." I pinned him with a gaze and drawled his name. "Fine." He growled, flinging up his hands in the air. "I'm angry at you. When were you going to tell me that you were leaving? I can't believe you told Sammy and didn't tell me." H
Mia"Will you like to join me?" He asked, extending his hand to me.I snorted. "Would that not make me a fool? Why would I work with you after you tried to kill me? Don't pretend as if that snake wasn't sent by you." I had been told that he could control snakes.He scoffed. "Why would I pretend the snake wasn't sent by me? Hora wouldn't like that I denied him. That was my favourite snake by the way. Do you know how much power I had to feed it to make it that big and now it's dead? I am pained at the moment because of its death but life moves on. If Hora's death could get you to my side, it was worth it. I'm sure he would agree. He was a loyal soldier of the cause, you know?""The cause?" I frowned in confusion.I wondered why the boys weren't charging at him as they wanted to do but I guessed that they wanted information from the dark wizard as well. Moreover, if he was distracted from talking to me, it was going to be easy to catch him unaware and get rid of him.I smiled to myself a
QuinnWhen we were younger, we had a nanny. She was human and she loved fairy tales. She would always read them to us. Her favourite of all those stories was The Beauty and the Beast. She knew we were werewolves and felt that we would be able to relate more to that.I was always annoyed anytime she read the story and felt like she was mocking us. Why else would she call us beasts who would be eager to have a beautiful girl love them to save them?I had been so happy when she finally resigned to start a family of her own, grateful that I wasn't going to listen to the story again.It wasn't until we grew up a bit more that I realized that our nanny was trying to tell us about ourselves. We were alike with the beast. We were werewolves who would have to be mated to a woman. We were definitely going to be more patient and hopeful she loved us than the beast had been with Beauty.At the moment, feeling trapped and unable to move an inch of my muscle, I felt more like the beast than on any
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
