Loraine’s POV

The morning sun filtered through the windows as I slipped on a pair of sandals, humming to myself. Everything had been going so smoothly lately.

The boys had finally loosened up, Mabel was settling in without any drama, and I felt like I could finally breathe. It was like the calm before a grand celebration, and I couldn’t wait for the upcoming ball.

Mabel’s voice cut through my thoughts. “Loraine!” she called from the kitchen. “What do you think about going shoe shopping today? We still need the perfect pair for your ball gown.”

I turned to find her leaning casually against the doorframe, her expression warm but with a spark of excitement in her eyes.

“That’s a great idea!” I said, practically bouncing on my feet. “I’ve been dying to find something stunning to match my dress. Oh, we’ll have so much fun!”

She smiled and waved me off. “You go on ahead. I just need to grab something real quick, and I’ll catch up with you.”

I hesitated for a moment. “You sure? I don

    Loraine’s POV The slam of the front door echoed like a thunderclap through the house. My heart jumped, and I instinctively flinched. A second later, Killian stormed into the living room, his expression a mask of fury. His shoulders were tense, his jaw set in a way that made it clear this wasn’t going to be a simple argument. My stomach churned. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Loraine!” Killian’s voice was sharp enough to cut glass. I blinked, completely taken aback. “What are you talking about?” “What am I talking about?” he spat, his voice rising. “You think I didn’t see it? Flirting with him? Gordon? After everything he’s done to you, to us, to your family?” The accusation felt like a slap. “Wait a second,” I said, holding up my hands. “Flirting? Are you serious right now? I wasn’t flirting with him!” “Don’t play innocent with me!” Killian growled, stepping closer. “He acted like you two had something going on, and that note—don’t even try to deny it.

    Loraine’s POV Morning came too quickly, the pale sunlight filtering through the curtains and pulling me from a restless sleep. I stretched, groaning softly, and rolled over in bed. The spot next to me was cold and empty. “Mabel?” I called softly, sitting up and glancing around the room. No response. A strange unease settled over me as I got out of bed. It wasn’t like her to leave without saying something. After brushing my hair back and wrapping myself in a robe, I headed downstairs, following the faint sound of laughter drifting from the dining room. When I walked in, I froze. Mabel was sitting at the breakfast table, chatting animatedly with Killian, Kris, Hunter, and Preston. Plates of food were scattered across the table, and everyone looked relaxed, laughing at something Mabel had just said. The camaraderie between them was painfully evident, and I felt like an outsider standing at the doorway. Mabel spotted me first. Her smile faltered briefly before she waved me over. “

    Hunter’s POV I leaned back in my chair, staring blankly at the wall, replaying the events from a few days ago. The memories swirled in my head, sharp and relentless, tugging at me in ways I couldn’t shake off. It had all started with Mabel. She’d called us out of nowhere, panic lacing her voice. “Hunter, you need to get to the mall right now,” she’d said. “Loraine’s there, and she doesn’t have enough warriors with her.” The urgency In her tone had sent a jolt through me. “Why is she at the mall without protection?” I’d demanded, already motioning for Kris, Killian, and Preston to follow me. “I don’t know!” Mabel had snapped. “Just hurry!” We hadn’t wasted a second. The thought of Loraine being vulnerable—alone—was unbearable. When we got to the mall, what we saw made my blood boil. Gordon. Her ex. Begging her to come back to him like some pathetic excuse for a man. I could still see the look on his face, the desperation in his eyes, and the way he reached out to her like he

    Loraine’s POV I stared at my phone for a long moment before finally dialing Chloe’s number. She picked up after the third ring, and thank the goddess, her bright voice immediately lifted my spirits. “Loraine! What’s up?” “Hey,” I said, trying to keep my voice casual. “I was wondering if you and Sasha were free today. I could use some company.” Chloe hesitated for only a second. “Of course! Let me check with Sasha, but I’m pretty sure she’s free. Are you okay, though? You sound a little…off.” I forced a laugh. “I’m fine, really. Just bored. It’s been a while since we all hung out.” “Well, in that case, consider it a date. We’ll be there in an hour!” “Thanks, Chloe. I owe you.” “You owe me coffee,” she teased before hanging up. I exhaled, feeling a small weight lift from my chest. Having my friends around would be a good distraction. Maybe it would help me feel normal again. When Chloe and Sasha arrived, Mabel and I were already in the kitchen preparing snacks. Mabel had insi

    Mabel’s POV The room was quiet except for the muffled ticking of the clock on the wall. I sat at my vanity, staring at my reflection. It was a little past 5 am. My hair was neatly curled, my makeup flawless, but my lips twisted into a smirk that betrayed the thoughts dancing in my head. A cruel laugh escaped me, echoing through the empty room. It wasn’t the first time I’d laughed like this, but it was the first time it felt so ahh… satisfying. I leaned back in my chair, folding my arms, as I let my mind wander back to just yesterday. How much effort it had taken for me to fake those tears. Oh, how I’d sniffled and sobbed, trembling just enough to make the boys believe I was truly sorry for all I did in the past. I almost laughed again. They had no idea. Not a single clue. “God, they’re so predictable,” I muttered to myself, shaking my head. “A few crocodile tears, and they’re eating out of the palm of my hand.” But it hadn’t always been that easy. I leaned forward, resting my e

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Loraine’s Confession

    Loraine’s POV The soft hum of the afternoon breeze fluttered through the open windows of the manor, and it carried with it the scents of pine and wildflowers. But the beauty outside felt distant, overshadowed by the weight in my chest. I sat at the table in my room, staring at the neatly folded invitations in front of me I’d hurt them. Each of them. Preston, with his quiet strength and practically unshakeable loyalty. Kris, who always saw the best in me even when I didn’t deserve it. Hunter, my fearless protector with a heart of gold. And Killian, the one who never hesitated to call me out but still stood by me no matter what. They’d all been there for me, loving me in ways I never thought possible. And I… I had kept secrets. I thought I was protecting them, making their lives better, but instead, I pushed them away. No more. I picked up my pen and wrote the last name on the final invitation: Killian. With a sigh, I sealed the envelope and placed it with the others. Tonight w

    Loraine’s POV “So what now?” Kris asked. “If you can’t choose between us, what do we do now?’ The room felt charged with tension as I stood in front of them. Killian, Preston, Kris, and Hunter were staring at me, their expressions unreadable, but their presence overwhelming. Kris’s question was valid. What did I want the boys to do now that I had put them in such a difficult position by not choosing, I knew what I wanted, but it sounded so selfish that I decided not to say it. I would say something else. I couldn’t quite meet their eyes as I spoke, my voice barely above a whisper. “If you want…” I hesitated, my throat tightening. “If you want someone else, I understand. Maybe I’m not enough for any of you. Maybe I’m too much. You deserve—” “You stop that right now,” Killian’s voice cut through my rambling. His tone was firm, his green eyes narrowing as he stepped closer. “You don’t get to decide what we deserve, Loraine.” “You’re the only one we want,” Preston added, his deep

    Loraine’s POV The next morning, I stirred awake. My body was so pleasantly sore from the night before. The memories of their touches and whispered promises flooding back in waves. A postcoital sigh escaped my lips as I blinked, turning my head to find Killian lying beside me; his beautiful sharp features were softened by sleep. Kris was curled around me protectively, his arm draped over my waist, while Preston’s hand rested on my shoulder. Hunter, ever vigilant, was already awake, his intense gaze fixed on me. “Good morning, beautiful,” Hunter said, his voice low and gravelly. He leaned down, pressing a kiss to my temple, and my heart fluttered at the gentleness of the gesture. “Morning,” I whispered, my voice still thick with sleep. Killian stirred, stretching like a wolf waking from a nap. His eyes, full of warmth and mischief, landed on me. “Someone’s glowing this morning,” he teased, his lips curving into a grin. “Well, I wonder whose fault that is,” I shot back, my tone

    Loraine’s POV One year later Warm sunlight streamed through the curtains, waking me from the most peaceful sleep I could remember. I stretched lazily, my smile growing as I realized I wasn’t alone. Soft lips trailed along my shoulder, followed by a whisper. “Good morning, my love,” Hunter’s voice was low and husky, his breath tickling my ear. I turned my head, meeting his dark, playful eyes. “Morning,” I murmured, still groggy but already melting under his gaze. Before I could say more, I felt another hand slide across my waist. Preston’s familiar laugh filled the room. “You’re hogging her, Hunter. Move over.” I rolled over, finding him smirking at me, his blond hair adorably tousled. “Is this how every morning is going to start from now on?” I teased. “Only the best for our Luna,” Killian chimed in, leaning against the doorframe with a tray of coffee and pastries. “Breakfast in bed?” Kris appeared behind him, shaking his head. “You’re all going to spoil her.” Hunter smirked

    Loraine’s POV The beeping of machines was the first thing I heard when I woke up. My body felt heavy, and every inch of me ached. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. Familiar voices reached my ears, filled with worry and relief. “She’s waking up!” Preston’s voice cracked. I turned my head slightly to see him standing by my side, his eyes rimmed red as if he hadn’t slept in days. “Loraine,” Hunter whispered, his hand reaching out to gently touch mine. His usual confident demeanor was replaced by raw emotion. “You’re okay. You’re safe now.” Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw all four of them—Hunter, Preston, Killian, and Kris—hovering around me like protective sentinels. “What… what happened?” I croaked, my voice raspy. Killian knelt down beside me, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “You were kidnapped. The warriors that have been investigating it say that Gordon and Jennifer…” His jaw tightened, but he took a deep breath. “We found you ju

    Hunter’s POV The abandoned warehouse the tracker led us to was ahead; its huge structure was sharp and terrifying against the night sky. The air was thick with tension, and my pulse roared in my ears as we pulled up to a screeching halt. Preston was the first to leap out, phone in hand, tracking Loraine’s location. “The signal ends here,” Preston said, his voice tight with worry. He turned the screen toward us. “She’s inside somewhere.” Kris gritted his teeth. “Let’s spread out. She could be hurt.” I grabbed his arm. “No one goes alone. If something happens, we’re stronger together, and I need every one of you alive, or else Loraine will kill me.” Gideon nodded in agreement, his face grim. “Hunter’s right. Split into pairs. Shout if you find anything.” We crept through the warehouse, every creak of the floorboards putting us on edge. I stuck close to Killian, my hand gripping the handle of my blade. The place reeked of rust and damp, but there was another smell too—blood. My st

    Hunter’s POV The excitement we all felt was electric. The Lycan ball wasn’t just any event; it was monumental. This was the night that our pack would become an official capital for the Lycans. Tonight, we—Preston, Kris, Killian, and I—would also make our first public appearance as Loraine’s fiancés. And, if everything went as planned, this ball would pave the way for our wedding, set to happen immediately after. I tightened my cufflinks that had Lorraine's name on them and turned to Kris, who was fixing his tie in front of the mirror. “Do you think they’ll announce us as Loraine’s mates? Or do we just, you know, casually stroll in and let the stares do the work?” Kris smirked at my reflection. “Why stroll when you can strut? Let them talk. This is our moment.” Killian popped his head into the room, his shirt still unbuttoned, revealing a chiseled chest. “You’re all overthinking it. Loraine will steal the show the moment she walks in. We’re just accessories tonight.” “Speak for

  • Fated to Four Brothers    The ball!

    Loraine’s POV The air buzzed with excitement as I stood in front of my vanity, smoothing my hands over the soft fabric of my gown. Tonight was the Lycans’ grand ball, an event so prestigious that even Sasha, who normally didn’t care for formalities, was squealing with excitement. Sasha burst into my room with Chloe trailing behind her, both carrying armfuls of dresses. “Loraine!” Sasha exclaimed, her eyes bright. “You have to help us pick! Chloe and I are determined to make an impression tonight.” Chloe giggled, holding up a shimmering silver gown against her small frame. “I heard the Lycan King himself might be there. Imagine if he notices one of us!” I chuckled, turning away from the mirror. “You two are acting like teenagers. What’s gotten into you?” Sasha placed her hands on her hips, mock glaring at me. “Excuse me, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Lycans, Loraine. Lycans! Do you know how rare it is to even see one in person, let alone meet their king?” Chloe nodded

    3rd POV The tension between Alpha Gordon and Jennifer crackled in the air like a brewing storm. The two stood in the dense forest near the treeline, their voices echoing through the trees, harsh and biting. “You fucking bitch! You ruined everything!” Gordon snarled, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. His sharp, gray eyes glinted dangerously, a mix of fury and frustration. Jennifer folded her arms across her chest, her stance defiant. “First of all, watch your fucking mouth. I’m not your doormat. I ruined everything?” She shot back, her voice rising. “You’re the one who couldn’t let go of your ridiculous obsession with Loraine. If anything, I saved us from disaster by getting Mabel arrested.” “Mabel was our leverage, Jennifer!” Gordon growled, taking a threatening step forward. “She was the key to forcing Loraine back into my life. And now she’s rotting in a cell because of your betrayal!” Jennifer didn’t flinch. Instead, she took a step closer, her chin tilted upward in de

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Planning the wedding

    Loraine’s POV This is the first time in what felt like years that my life didn't seem like a world-ending storm I had to constantly brace myself against. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of emotions—betrayal, accusations, and finally, vindication. But now, as I sat in the sprawling living room of our shared home, surrounded by my mates—Preston, Hunter, Kris, and Killian—I felt something I hadn’t in a long time. Peace. Preston lounged on the couch next to me, one arm draped lazily across my shoulders. Hunter was sprawled out on the floor with a pile of papers he claimed were “strategic plans,” though he was doodling more than writing. Kris was in the kitchen, preparing what smelled like something delicious, while Killian sat across from me, polishing his sword like the ever-serious warrior he was. “So,” Hunter said, breaking the comfortable silence, “have we all agreed that the Lycan ball will be our moment to show off the fact that Loraine is officially ours?” I rolled my

  • Fated to Four Brothers    Arresting

    Loraine’s POV I had never felt more powerless in my entire fucking life. The moment the crowd gathered around Mabel’s bleeding, sobbing form, their accusatory glares locked on me, it was over. My protests, my explanations—they were drowned out by her dramatic cries and the murmurs of the onlookers. The bitch had planned this very, very well. I was arrested on the spot. My four mates—Preston, Hunter, Kris, and Killian—could do nothing but watch as I was dragged away. Their eyes were full of desperation, but they knew as well as I did that they couldn’t interfere. The Lycan laws were absolute, and once the Council was involved, even Alphas had to comply. I sat in the dark, cold cell for what felt like an eternity, the walls closing in around me as I replayed the events in my mind. Mabel had outplayed me, and now I was being hauled to Lycan court, the very heart of justice for our kind, where Mabel’s uncle, Lord Arnold, presided. Of-fucking-course! He was a smug, greedy man who th

    Loraine’s POV I had gotten used to the crazy-ass chaos that now surrounded me, but recently, there was a strange stillness in the air. Freaking Firstly, our supposed psychopath, Mabel, the woman who had made my life unbearable, was quiet. Too quiet. It felt like the calm before a storm, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was coming. Her absence from my life—no pranks, no insults, no sudden confrontations—was unsettling. Every time I caught a glimpse of her, I noticed how distant she had become. She no longer tried to provoke me; instead, she seemed to be going about her life, almost as though she had forgotten about our past. I didn’t know what was worse—the fact that she had stopped tormenting me or the fact that I couldn’t figure out her angle. It was late in the evening when my phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with a message from Mabel. My heart skipped a beat as I read her words: “We need to talk.
