Chapter 5

Kora’s POV

“Why am I mated to all four of them? Is this a wrong decision? I have to be mated to just one man but I’m mated to all four of them” these and many thoughts surged through my head as they took me back to that tree where they saw me trapped, I was perplexed to some point as to why they remembered this spot vividly. It seemed weird and unusual to me. 

“How are you feeling Kora?” Aeson asked as he held my hands, I could see the care and compassion in his eyes. It made me blush hesitantly.

“I’m good, but it’s hard getting used to all four of you,” I explained my worries knowing it would be hard to attend to all their needs and fulfill my duties as their bonded mate, I have no choice it’s my fate and it’s way better than being a puppet in Alpha Galen’s house. 

“Lane hates oily foods and Ras hates onions, I don’t hate anything and Cace is just like me we eat practically everything excluding vegetables” These words seemed normal but to me they were warnings to avoid incurring the wrath of the quadruplets, I wonder how I would feel when they’re all pissed about me. It would be chaotic.

“Don’t skip the part where you let her know how we love being around our mate, so we would be around her more often” Lane added to his brother’s words. 

“Yeah before our mother died, we used to be around her. We enjoyed her company but I guess the moon goddess took her away and replaced her with you so you have to know your responsibilities and don’t let us tell you what to do…” Ras being harsh as always used his authoritarian voice on me. 

“In general know what you’re supposed to do and don’t piss anyone, once one’s pissed everyone’s pissed and you wouldn’t want to be in that scenario I advise you” Cace spoke softly as Aeson wrapped his hands around me, tilting my head to the right. He bit me softly marking me as his mate, they all took turns in marking me as their mate. The bond was sealed, I felt very happy at this point knowing that I would be protected from Alpha Galen and all his advances.

“I wish to leave the pack immediately and start a new life with you all by my side” I said in my thoughts, as Ras heaved a deep sigh.

“You’re coming with us and forget about your properties down there, we’ll get you new ones” Ras patted my shoulders as he kissed my left cheeks. I felt very comfortable around them as I rested my head on Cace’s shoulders, waiting for them to take me home. I pretended to doze off on Cace’s shoulders. 

“Let’s take her home, she looks very tired” Lane divulged as Cace opted to carry me in his arms. 

When we got to the Seventh moon pack, the atmosphere changed. It was very tense, I could feel the actual happiness of the members, I wondered why they were all jubilating.

“Are you guys having a party?”

“It’s a hunt party and those partying are the ones that caught big kills during the hunting game. While they were celebrating, I reminded them about Alpha Galen’s invitation, which was why we attended a bit late and fate brought us to you Kora” Cace heaved a deep sigh as he ran his hands through my hair, I felt ecstatic about their touch, it sends waves of pleasure through my head. 

“I’m so thrilled to be right here amongst you all, I’m just scared of Alpha Galen” I acted scared to know their intentions towards that wicked man, he deserves to be punished for what he did to me. 

“Why would you be scared of an old man Kora? You can take him down yourself if you wanted, but I guess you’re not strong enough to even lift a sword” Ras grunted with his fists clenched. 

“That’s enough! don’t make her feel uncomfortable, she just arrived give her some space” Aeson cautioned Ras’s choice of words to me.

“You don’t have to worry, Alpha Galen would never get close to you… no one would dare lay a hand on you and get away with it, they won’t even have the guts to get close to you once your position as Luna becomes eminent” he added as he held my hands and stood before his people. The music stopped and everyone’s attention was glued to the Lycan kings standing before them. 

With the look on their faces, I could tell they all had their attention glued to the lady standing beside Aeson. 

“Standing right here is Kora, she would be crowned as the next Luna of this pack. She should be respected in the same manner you’ve reverenced me and my brothers. Any reports whatsoever would determine if your head would still remain with your body” he announced as everyone bowed in respect to his words. 

“Exact words in my head brother, simple, short and fierce” Ras conceded to his words, I wasn’t surprised since brutality and violence was part of his identity.

The Celebration continued, Lane disappeared and that seemed a bit odd to me so I asked,

“Where’s Lane?”

“He’s probably making sure dinner is served in the right way, he doesn’t joke with his meals. He’s very picky when it comes to meals and don’t tell him I said this to you, he doesn’t eat when he finds a stain in his tray. Too neat for normalcy” Aeson chuckled his words into my ears, as we walked into the building accompanied by Cace and Ras.

“What are we having for dinner?” I asked, as my nostrils were filled with the aroma of chicken soup, while we walked into the dining room Aeson was about to tell me about the meal, my attention was ripped by Lane. 

“Sorry to cut you short brother, we’ll be having a nice chicken soup and bits of it flavored for your taste buds. It’s not your normal size Ras and that’s because of the time… Kora you look hungry so you’ll be needing a large potion” Lane mocked me as his brothers mocked my skinny structure. 

As we all we’re seated and dinner served, I had to let Lane know he crossed his boundaries with his words and it didn’t settle right with me and thinking about it would only leave me feeling nostalgic about eating this meal to my satisfaction, so I had to play the victim in this scenario. 

“I was treated wrongly and that affected everything in me so don’t use it against me” I divulged as Aeson hands covered mine.

“You would never be treated badly, I would make sure you get the best of it all” Aeson’s promises were backed up by the look on his brothers’s faces. 

“What if Alpha Galen wants me back? This could lead to a war” I shuddered looking for the right reaction from my new found protectors. 

“We’re born of two things, love and hatred. If Alpha Galen makes us hate him. He’s dead”

This is the right reaction I want.
