Loraine’s POV

The pack meeting hall is loud and buzzing with people. Long tables are filled with food and people digging into food. Maddox leads us to a table in the corner. One that gives us a good view of the hall but still keeps us out of the main hustle. I sit beside Sasha, who is already helping herself to a plate of food, while Maddox, Jack, and Kade settle around us.

“I know I can finish this whole plate before you chew down five spoons,” Kade says, eyeing the mountain of food Sasha is piling up.

Sasha smiles, thrilled to take on his challenge. “You’re on, loser.” She hollers, grabbing a fork.

I shake my head at Kade. I’m not sure he wants to challenge Sasha, especially when it comes to food. I laugh, watching them both as they wolf down their food. It's funny because Kade is not actually trying—as much as Sasha—but he still empties his plate before Sasha has gone halfway through hers.

“Come on, Luna-in-training,” Jack says with a grin, pulling my attention from Sasha

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Killing Time

    Loraine’s POV I wake with a jolt, my head pounding like a drum in my skull. Silk sheets rasp against my skin, and harsh morning light filters in through the window, almost striking me blind. Memories of last night rush through my vision—more beer with the guys, more stupid stories, more thoughts of my Alphas. Werewolves don’t usually get drunk—our drunken episodes never last past a few minutes—but the hangovers we get are usually very bad. It's like our wolves refuse to do something about the pain just to punish us or something. Recalling that I still have work to do down at the camping sites sends me sitting upright. Shit! How late am I? A wave of nausea rushes through me, sending me back down. Shit! shit! shit! I can’t lie here all day. Scrambling out of bed, I wince as my body screams in protest. I rush to the bathroom, rushing through the shower and getting dressed. My phone buzzes weakly—I'm quite certain it’s Sasha or one of the betas. Relief washes over me when I see tha

    Loraine’s POV Arrogant as ever. Kylie snarls in my chest. Despite myself, I smile. I’m glad she hates him as much as I do. Still, I could not stop thinking about what he might want. The timing? Is it only a coincidence that he’s coming to see me now when the Alpha brothers aren’t here? and he’s not using the front door. I slump into the chair, holding my head in my hands. I have enough on my plate to deal with for him to add worrying about something like this to it. The camp is now a complete mess. The supply trucks are weeks late. Maddox is scrambling to keep things together, and I still haven’t figured out this thing with Kade, which is a whole other thing I can’t even think about right now. I glance at my blank screen, wondering for the umpteenth time why he’s contacting me out of the blue after all this time. If it’s an elaborate joke, I will—well, I won’t do anything, but it better not be that he’s messing with me. By the time it's close to nine p.m., I’m pacing the livin

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Thanks,But No Thanks

    Loraine’s POV I don’t sleep till morning. As much as I try not to think about it, I can’t take my mind off of Gordon and the new game he’s playing. I had the half-mind to confront him about my parent’s death, but the brothers are still conducting their investigation, and I did not want to. Whatever. But why the hell would he say he wanted me back? He chose Jennifer. Ripped our friendship into two, and for what? Power! Anger mixed with disgust swirled in my chest. How dare Gordon show up here acting like I’m something he can just... reclaim? Like I’m a piece of property? How dare he? I slam my hand down on the table, wincing at the pain that ricochets through my arm. “I am not yours, Gordon.” I hiss harshly into the room. “You don’t fucking own me.” I let out a long, shaky breath. I cannot imagine that there was a time I thought we had a shot. I must have been blind and stupid. Why the hell do I feel so unsteady? My buzzing phone and a message from Sasha remind me that I am ru

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Preparing for the Arrival of Kings

    Loraine’s POV The day before the weekend arrives quicker than I anticipated, but that’s a good thing. Although the day drags on slowly, my heart aching with the crawl of anticipation, I feel giddy all over. It’s safe to say I’ve totally forgotten about the confrontation with Alpha Gordon the other day. The trucks that were meant to arrive two days ago had another delay, but word got to us that they’ll be here any moment soon. So, aside from preparing for the Alphas’ arrival, which is tomorrow, we are also waiting for the truck to arrive. We’ve completely run out of supplies. Construction of homes and other structures has been put on hold. A lot of things have been put on hold while we wait for the trucks. If it isn’t for the buzz of the return of the Alpha brothers, I can’t imagine the level of hopelessness that’d be going over the camp. Thankfully, we all have something to look forward to. “Loraine!” Sasha yells, cutting through my musings and pulling me back to the moment.

  • Fated to Four Brothers    My Alpha Mates

    Loraine’s POV I pass through the dusty construction site. There are houses all over the place, in haphazard rows, and all of them are not near completion. Shrugging out of my clothes behind one of the buildings, I shift into my wolf and begin sniffing out my mates. I hope all of you are safe. There are werewolves everywhere. Alphas, council members, pack members, and tonnes of werewolves whose names I don’t know. When I spot the security team with their black-on-black uniform, my excitement ratchets up. They are standing in front of a huge building, which I assume to be the fort by the sheer size of it. and, of course, the sign on my left that reads, Fort. My Alphas are in the prison in this place, locking up the prisoners they brought back. Finally, we would know the face of the people who have made themselves our enemies. With my rare wolf on display, I smile sweetly at the gawkers—well, as sweet as a wolf’s smile can be. Maybe they know who I am or something, but they are c

    Loraine’s POV Alpha Hunter insists on cooking for me, although he doesn’t need to. The night is quite warm, the full moon casting a soft golden hue over the world. We all sit at a picnic table while I stuff my face. It is a peaceful night—the kind that makes a person forget all their problems. Alpha Hunter is at the grill, flipping steaks like a man on a mission. His brows are furrowed in concentration, but when he catches me looking at me, the corners of his mouth twitch up. It is funny seeing him like this. The brother who is always in control—but ever since their return from that mission, they’ve just been taking extra care of me. Even Killian. He no longer sneers and growls when he’s around me. Although he had resumed my training only a day after his return, I feel like he’s going easy on me. None of them will talk about what happened during the fight, but I see it in their eyes, and I know that I need to give them time before they can talk about it. “You sure you got this

  • Fated to Four Brothers    My Mates and Me

    My Mates and Me Loraine’s POV I wake slowly, moaning in satisfaction as my mind floats in a deep sea of bliss. All three of my Alpha’s are wrapped around me on the bed. My eyes are still glued shut, but I can feel Kris’ hands caressing my body, his touch solidifying over me, promising to give me everything I can dream of. Alpha Hunter and Kris each take one side of me, with Preston lying between my legs, his head resting on my stomach like it is a pillow. Killian is not on the bed, but I catch his form draped on the armchair beside my bed. I guess we are back to that again. Yet, I can’t deny that something changed between us that morning, on the day they left. What I’m not sure of is if I want to explore it or leave it as it is. He’s been treating me better since they returned, and while I’m grateful for it, I’m kind of wary. I think to Gordon and what his appearance here the other day might mean. He wanted me to go back to him. Why? He had rejected me, humiliated me, and then

    Loraine’s POV “I’m not trouble; I’m perfect.” I say to no one in particular as I bound myself out of bed. I have wasted two minutes kissing Kris, and now I have eight minutes before Alpha Hunter comes hurtling in here and pulling me outside by the hair. Okay, that might be a bit exaggerated, but you get the gist. “You are perfect, little wolf. Now, give me my kiss.” Preston says, squeezing my ass and turning me to face him. I raise myself to the tip of my toes and angle my head up until our lips meet. The kiss is wet and hot and still manages to send a shiver down my spine and throbbing in between my thighs. “I could get used to this.” I hum after we finally break apart. Kris chuckles. “You said that yesterday.” “And I meant it.” I answer too quick. I frown as I recall the answer Preston gave me. If I wanted this, then I would have to choose all of them. He said it as if he had no qualms with it. I look at Kris, but I can’t tell what’s going on in his head. His face is a bla

    Loraine’s POV The afternoon sun cast a golden glow across the packhouse, filling the living room with a sense of warmth and calm. It was one of those rare lazy days where nothing urgent needed our attention. Hunter lounged on the couch, flipping through a book, while Killian and Preston sat on the floor, arguing over some board game rules. Mabel and I were curled up on a nearby armchair, sipping iced tea and chatting about absolutely nothing. It was nice—a peaceful, ordinary moment that felt like a small slice of heaven. It was my much-deserved rest after all of Gordon’s foolishness lately. This is how I wanted things: no drama, no problems, just peace. And then the door opened. Prince Gideon strolled in, his presence immediately shattering the calm. He was dressed in a crisp white shirt and dark trousers that clung to him in all the right ways. His golden hair caught the sunlight, and his piercing blue eyes locked on mine, a teasing smile playing on his lips. “Good afternoon,

    Loraine’s POV The morning sun streamed through the windows of the packhouse, casting a golden glow across the living room where chaos reigned. Killian and Preston were sprawled across the couch, arguing over the remote, while Hunter sat cross-legged on the floor, engrossed in a board game with Mabel. “I’m just saying,” Killian grumbled, yanking the remote out of Preston’s hand, “we’ve already watched your dumb action movie twice. It’s my turn to pick something.” “Dumb?” Preston scoffed, lunging for the remote. “It’s a classic!” I watched the two of them wrestle like overgrown children, biting back a laugh. “Careful, boys. If you break that remote, you’re both cooking dinner tonight.” Killian immediately let go, raising his hands in surrender. “Fine, but we’re not eating Preston’s cooking.” “Hey!” Preston shot me a wounded look. “I’m not that bad.” Hunter snorted, not looking up from the game. “Last time you cooked, the fire alarm went off, and we had to order pizza.” Preston c

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Old wounds

    Loraine’s POV The moment Alpha Gordon’s dark eyes locked onto mine, I felt my stomach churn. His gaze was the same as it had always been: intense, domineering, and calculating. I turned to Mabel, hoping to steer us into another store and avoid him altogether, but it was too late. He was already weaving through the crowd, his towering figure cutting through the bustling shoppers with purpose. “Loraine,” his deep voice called out as he stopped in front of me, blocking my path. I froze. The sound of his voice brought back a flood of memories—none of them good. Mabel looked between us, her brows furrowing in confusion. “Gordon,” I said stiffly, my voice void of warmth. “What the fuck do you want now?” His lips curled into a half-smile, the kind that once made me weak in the knees but now only made my blood boil. “We need to talk.” “I think we said all we needed to say weeks ago,” I snapped, stepping around him, but he grabbed my wrist gently—not enough to hurt, but enough to make me

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Unexpected trouble

    Loraine’s POV That evening, as we wrapped up dinner, I could feel the tension simmering between the boys. It had been an exhausting day, and I was looking forward to finally getting some sleep. Just as I stood to leave the dining area, Preston called out, his voice softer than usual. “Loraine,” he began, a hint of hesitation in his tone, “would you mind staying in my room tonight? I’d like to spend some time with you.” Before I could respond, Killian’s chair scraped against the floor as he stood abruptly. “Why should she stay with you, Preston? She stayed with you last week,” Killian said, his voice edged with irritation. Hunter chimed in, his arms crossed over his chest. “I don’t see why she shouldn’t stay in my room. It’s been a while, and I think it’s only fair.” Kris, leaning casually against the doorway, gave a lazy smirk. “You’re all ridiculous. If anyone gets her company tonight, it’s me. I think I deserve it after me being shot by wolfsbane and everything.” Their bickeri

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Reconnecting

    Loraine’s POV After an awkward hour, I excused myself to the restroom to compose myself and came back. When I stepped back into the game room, the atmosphere was electric with laughter and playful teasing. Everyone seemed so carefree, sprawled across couches or lounging on the floor. Mabel was sitting cross-legged next to Kris, a small smile tugging at her lips as he joked about something. I hesitated in the doorway, letting the moment wash over me. I had to fix things, not just for her but for myself. “Loraine!” Hunter’s booming voice broke through my thoughts. He pushed off the wall where he’d been leaning, his grin widening. “You’re just in time. We’re about to up the stakes.” “Oh no,” Chloe groaned, though she was smiling. “This better not be another one of your ridiculous games.” Hunter smirked. “Come on, my games are legendary.” “They’re legendary for getting people in trouble,” Sasha pointed out, narrowing her eyes. “Exactly!” Hunter shot back. “Now, shut up and

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Loraine Snapped

    Loraine’s POV It started as a normal morning. Kris had insisted on dragging himself out of bed, despite the doctor’s warnings to rest, and was now lingering in the living room, watching everyone bustle around. The others were preparing to head out after breakfast, and I was forced to stay behind, nursing a lingering sense of unease. Mabel was there too, sitting across from me with her usual air of quiet confidence. She didn’t say much, but somehow, her presence always felt larger than life. I tried to ignore the pang in my chest every time she flashed her perfect smile or casually caught someone’s attention. It wasn’t that I disliked her—at least, not consciously. But lately, it seemed like she was everywhere, always shining brighter, always winning over everyone in ways I couldn’t seem to match. Kris caught my eye, his brows furrowing slightly as he studied my face. “You okay?” he asked, his voice low enough that only I could hear. “I’m fine,” I replied quickly, forcing a smile.

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Bonding Kris

    Loraine’s POV Hunter was on the phone, pacing the room like a caged animal as Kris groaned in frustration. The doctor Hunter had called had just finished applying a thick, pungent salve to his arm, explaining it would neutralize the wolfsbane poisoning. But the second the doctor started to wrap the wound, Kris squirmed, loosening the bandage with an irritated huff. “Kris, stop fucking moving,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “It itches,” Kris snapped, glaring at his arm. “This stuff is torture.” Hunter put his phone down with a sigh. “Doctor, is this normal? He’s acting like you dipped his ass in acid.” “It’s perfectly normal,” the doctor said with a chuckle. “The medication is designed to draw out toxins, which can make the area tender and itchy. But it’s crucial that it stays on all night if he wants to heal properly.” “All night? Are you fucking kidding?!” Kris groaned, rolling his eyes. “You mean I’m stuck like this?” “Someone needs to stay with him,” Killian interj

    Loraine’s POV The sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in hues of gold and pink as Sasha and Chloe gathered their things. The day had gone better than I expected—no major fights, no icy glares (from Sasha, at least), and plenty of laughter. It felt… normal. Something I hadn’t realized I missed until now. “I had a really great time,” Sasha said, giving Mabel a tentative smile. “I’m… glad we did this. I look forward to spending more time together.” Mabel’s eyes lit up with relief, and she nodded. “Me too. Thanks for giving me a chance, Sasha.” I felt warmth bloom in my chest. This was exactly what I’d hoped for. “That’s wonderful,” I said, smiling at both of them. But Chloe, standing slightly behind Sasha, caught my eye. She shot me a pointed, cautious look that sent a clear message: Don’t fuck this up. The moment passed quickly, and Chloe stepped forward. “Alright, time to go, Sasha. Let’s not overstay our welcome.” Sasha rolled her eyes but didn’t argue, turning to Mabel

    Loraine’s POV Waking up in Killian’s room wasn’t something I planned to make a habit of, but here I was again because a certain somebody refused to share me with his brothers. And when I say a certain somebody, I mean the big sulky oaf called Killian, who was currently hugging me tightly like he was scared I would disappear if he relaxed. I could feel the thick bulge of his cock pressing against me through his pants, but I already knew he wouldn’t let me help him out, so I let it go. But no matter my grumble, I actually enjoyed waking up like this. His scent wrapped around me, warm and intoxicating, making it harder to get up than it should’ve been. I sighed, slipping out from under the blankets and trying to fix my hair in the faint morning light. The last thing I needed was for Killian to wake up and catch me sneaking out of bed. He’d drag me right back into bed! I opened the door quietly, only for my clumsy ass to bump straight into Mabel. “Oh!” she exclaimed, her hands sh
