Mated To Four Chapter 28
ALEJANDRA.Adeline Rose Smith was born an hour ago.I’m an aunt.Now, I finally get to go back and see her and hold her.Adeline and I share a middle name, which I think is so sweet. I love that Dahlia shared a part of me with her child. It makes me feel special, like I really am part of the Monroe family, even if I’m not biologically part of it. Of course, they don’t know that and I hope they never do. Since I can’t tell them about me being supernatural, I’m not sure how I could explain it to them. They’ve been compelled with false memories. Memories of me coming home from the hospital with Katherine and things that never happened. It’s strange to think all the stories my parents told me about my birth just aren’t true.I need to talk to Margot Westwood if I want to know anything about my birth or anything about my biological mom. I have a lot of questions, but I’m not ready just yet to ask. Soon, hopefully, I will be.When I walk into the room, Dahlia is holding the baby. She’

ALEJANDRA.I hate saying goodbye to my family.I honestly didn’t think I would have to say goodbye so soon and the fact that I have to is really frustrating, but mostly I’m sad. I wanted more time with them—especially with Adeline. I only got to hold her one time.When Dahlia first got pregnant, she told me that she wanted me to stay with her on the weekends to help out at first. I was going to help with changing diapers and midnight feedings to give Dahlia and Alex a break. But now… now all I will have is the occasional picture that Dahlia will send to me and little updates every now and again. It breaks my heart to know that I won’t be there.I don’t understand why we can’t stay the night. My parents’ house is plenty big enough for everybody.Still… I can’t argue with the guys about this in front of my family, so instead I say my goodbyes, going along with what the guys are saying—that we all have a big test tomorrow that we have to be at school for.When we leave, I expect fo

ALEJANDRA.We wake up early on Monday morning to head back to school. I’m sad to be leaving my family behind but also excited to get back to my new normal. I’m mostly dreading going to school. Maybe this week will be different. Maybe I’ll get past the stigma of being the new girl and I will actually be able to make friends. But even if I don’t make friends, at least I have my guys.I’m no stranger to being an outcast. I’ve heard the things people whispered about me as I walked down the hallway at my old school. I remember how people would give me dirty looks. And I remember how those same people would be nice to me if Zaire or Katherine was around. I can’t imagine how horrible high school would’ve been without them protecting me.I’ve always tried not to be too offended by the way people acted. I, of all people, know exactly how hard high school can be. Plus, I’ve learned a lot from the horrible way that people have treated me—I have learned that I never want anybody to feel the wa

ALEJANDRA.On Tuesday there is no school because of the full moon.I’m kind of excited that the full moon is something they celebrate every month. I wasn’t ready to go back to school just yet after what happened on Friday night, so this was a good excuse to have a chill day with my mates.Part of me hates Shifter Academy. I try really hard to push those thoughts away. I don’t want the guys to know how horribly I feel about their school, but I also get the feeling that they know. It seems that they know everything about me.I’m hoping that things get better—I really want to make friends and I really want to like it here. Even if I don’t make friends, I hope I don’t make enemies. It seems like nobody likes me very much so far, but they hate me because I have four mates. That isn’t something I have control over, so it’s really silly to hate me for it.Since tonight is the full moon, the guys are wanting to see if I can shift into a wolf. I’m a little nervous about it. I don’t know w

ALEJANDRA.My stomach is in knots as I get ready for school on Wednesday. I’m anxious to go to class, anxious to see how people react, and even more anxious to see how my guys react if people are mean to me. I don’t see how any of this is going to end well for me.When I woke up this morning, Puma and Forrest were both asleep in my bed. I love how I’ve come to just expect them to be there. It’s not even surprising anymore. I know they’re there because they want to protect me. Well, it’s more than that. I know they want to be there to be close to me and I want that as well.The guys leave me alone to get ready, but as I am fixing my hair, there is a knock on my door.“Come in,” I yell from the bathroom. I peek out the door and watch Phoenix walk in.Phoenix is… beautiful. I can see why my sister had a crush on him. Maybe it’s his dark brown eyes or his hair that isn’t long enough to be considered hipster, but it’s getting there. All he needs is a beanie, a coffee shop, and slam po
Mated To Four Chapter 33
ALEJANDRA.School is just as bad as I thought it would be.Well, that’s not exactly true. Some part of me thought it would be worse. I thought maybe people would call me names or that they would be mean to me, but that isn’t the case. I should’ve known better, though. The guys would never allow that.No, instead, they’re all just staring at me. They’re not talking. They’re just… looking. And because of it, I feel very anxious.The weather is a little cool today, which is not normal for early September. Even the wind is blowing, making me think a storm must be blowing in. For some reason, the weather makes me even more anxious, like something big is about to happen.Forrest, who is standing closest to me as we walk to the dining hall for lunch, squeezes my hand. My guys form a circle around me. After what happened with that Daniel guy, the guys want to make sure nobody else gets close enough to accidentally touch me.Part of me thinks it’s sweet that the guys want to protect me.
Mated To Four Chapter 34
ALEJANDRA.After everything that happened today, I still am excited for tonight. I take the time to change out of my school clothes and put on a pretty dress. I even curl my hair.I want to look pretty tonight.Tonight is my first date. And okay… maybe we’re on an island and can’t actually do normal date things, but I don’t care. I still consider this a date and I’m going to enjoy every second of it.I feel like I should be nervous, but I’m not. Yeah, it’s my first date, but my first date is with somebody I am going to spend the rest of my life with. I’m already comfortable around Phoenix. And the thought of him kissing me at the end of the night gives me butterflies in my stomach. I’m excited. I hope he kisses me. If he doesn’t, maybe I’ll be bold enough to kiss him.I push those thoughts away, knowing the guys could be listening to my thoughts right now. I like to think they aren’t always listening, but you never know.I really have to learn how to block them.There is a knoc

ALEJANDRA.It’s time to stop avoiding Margot Westwood. I mean, she’s my aunt.My mom never wanted to give me away. Neither did my aunt. But it was my mother’s dying wish for me to be put somewhere I would be safe. The sacrifices that both my mom and my aunt made… I can never repay those.I want to have a relationship with my aunt. At first, I didn’t think I would because I was so overwhelmed. But it’s because of my aunt that I have the family I do. She put me with the most amazing Mom and Dad. And because of her I have the world’s best siblings. The least I can do it talk to her and try to get some answers. I can talk to her and try to build a relationship with her. I think it’s what my mom would want. I mean, certainly they knew I would end up here eventually, right? Someday I would figure out that I’m not human. Maybe it wouldn’t be until I was in my forties and still looked like somebody in my early twenties. Or maybe I would’ve figured it out on my own especially since I’ve sta

ALEJANDRA. Over Christmas break, I told my family the truth—that I am a fairy. I told them them that they were glamoured to think I’m their daughter. And that I have four mates. My family didn’t believe me, which I expected. I mean, I had the exact same reaction when Forrest told me he was a wolf shifter. So… I did the only thing I knew I could do to prove it. I had Phoenix shift into a wolf. Don’t worry… I made him go to the bathroom before shifting back. After that, my parents had a lot of questions, as did the rest of my siblings. And so, I literally spent the whole day telling them everything. And even though it’s technically against the law, I am the queen. I’m allowed to break the law. Plus, Alpha Romano gave me permission. I wasn’t sure what to expect after that, but my family seemed to accept everything. I mean, they had a lot of questions about the whole ‘having four mates’ thing, but they didn’t freak out and they listened when I explained it to them. It’s more than I co

ALEJANDRA. Everything is too bright and too loud. I’m about to yell at Katherine and tell her to shut off her alarm when I realize… it’s not an alarm. I’m not in Jacksonville. I open my eyes and shut them immediately. The fluorescent lights are bright. My head hurts, my back hurts, my chest hurts… What happened to me? “Alejandra.” I hear somebody say my voice softly. I open my eyes again, slower this time. Four pairs of eyes are looking down at me. I try to sit up, but a hand reaches out to hold me down. “Just lie down.” I lie back against my pillow, but only because my chest hurts so bad. “What happened to me?” I ask, rubbing the spot on my chest. “Thomas Freeman stabbed you in the back with a silver knife. He actually stabbed your heart.” Forrest clears his throat. “He didn’t know that you’re immune to silver.” “If he stabbed me in the heart, how am I not dead?” Because whether I’m immune to silver or not, getting stabbed in the heart seems like a sure way to die. “I don

ALEJANDRA. I am so nervous on Monday morning. My heart is racing and my hands are shaking. All of the guys wanted to stay with me last night, so we ended up making this huge pallet on the floor and sleeping there. It was kind of cool waking up surrounded by my mates. I realize I want this every morning. We’re going to have to find a bigger bed to make this happen because a king size bed isn’t cutting it. I think the reason I’m so scared is I don’t know how things are going to go today. What if Tiffany and the others change their mind? What if they decide to go ahead and side with Robert Westwood—that’s a scary thought. But what if they don’t and Robert follows through on his promise? What if Robert is able to have Tiffany’s children murdered. The thought hurts my chest. He has to be stopped. I don’t care if he’s my biological grandfather or not. His terrorizing days are over after this. He is going to answer for his crimes. Today when I get dressed, I don’t care so much about loo
Mated To Four Chapter 65
ALEJANDRA. The urgency in Forrest’s voice makes my heart race fast and hard. And even though we’re in the middle of helping everybody get settled, we leave the castle to talk to Alpha Romano. I push out Forrest’s thoughts, not wanting to force myself to know what’s going on. If Forrest wanted to tell me what’s happening, he would. I get the feeling this is something I need to hear for myself anyway. We walk out the front of Shifter Academy and get into the car we drove over. The parking lot is still just as empty as when we arrived this morning. I don’t know why it surprises me. I guess I expected the parking lot to be full, but how would they even get the cars here? Also, the fae can’t drive. So that was just a silly thing to think. We drive to where Alpha Romano is staying and I’m surprised when we walk inside and see one of the wolves from the council there. She’s actually one of the wolves on the side that is firmly against the fae. I’m hoping she is here to tell me she’s chang
Mated To Four Chapter 64
ALEJANDRA. On Sunday morning, the fae start arriving. When they arrive, we have to make room where we can—some of them stay in the castles. We try to make sure families have homes that are empty on the island. It’ll be a little pack when everything is said and done, but we do what we can. I’m glad nobody seems too upset about having to share their space. Everybody is super welcoming to the fae. A lot more welcome than they were to me when I first came, but now that I’m here, I can’t even blame them for being wary of me. I probably would have too. I’m so glad I know that I’m a fae. And I’m glad that everybody else knows too. There is no hate… well, aside from the council members and the panthers. But the council is nowhere to be seen at the moment and the panthers are hiding in their dorm rooms, which is preferred. I love seeing the castle full of fae. It’s actually incredible. Roshan gathers everybody for a meeting once they get settled—we definitely have a lot of things to catch
Mated To Four Chapter 63
ALEJANDRA.After we leave Roshan’s place, the guys and I go back home, but they tell me to put on a bathing suit when we go inside. I start to argue, but I can tell by the looks on their faces that they mean business. So I go to my room and put on my bikini and throw on a coverup before heading downstairs. My guys are waiting for me. Today has been a rough day. Scratch that, it’s been a rough week. Maybe going out and getting a little sun is exactly what I need. Zaire, Katherine, and I used to go to the beach nearly every single day. Even in January and February, when it was too cold to be in the water. Though, I have seen a few tourists around that time of year swimming because it is very warm in Florida compared to whatever mid-western town they’re from. Something about the sound of the waves, the feel of the sun, and the smell of salt water is comforting. Maybe because it reminds me of home. And I miss home. I miss my family more than anything. But I can’t go see them right now
Mated To Four Chapter 62
ALEJANDRA. On Saturday morning, I plan to meet with Roshan and the other fae to let them know how everything went with the council. I’m a little bit nervous to tell them. I just hope they don’t get discouraged from the news, but how could they not? Still, I promise myself not to let it show how bothered I am by the news. I want to help keep their spirits up about it. And the truth is, we don’t know what is going to happen. The council could come back and say that they’ve decided to side with the fae. That is my hope. If not… well, I don’t even want to think about that unless it happens. Roshan is staying in his own place. He has two wolf shifters that live close by—other teachers. So I know he’s safe over here. For now. We all meet at his house to discuss things and I’m a little bit anxious. “Everything will be fine.” Desmond squeezes my hand as we approach the front door. I know I always give my mates a hard time about listening to my thoughts, but most of the time I like it. T
Mated To Four Chapter 61
ALEJANDRA. It’s weird seeing Alpha Romano in the house, but I suppose this is the only place we really have privacy. Now that I’m fully seeing him, he looks tired. Exhausted, really. I can tell all of this is weighing heavily on him. And what he’s willing to sacrifice—it’s a lot. I can’t believe he’s willing to give up his entire life for me. Well… it’s not just for me. It’s also for Forrest, his son, and all the fae. I keep saying it’s bigger than me because that’s the truth. I’m just the queen who can’t stand the injustice my people have suffered. They need somebody who is willing to fight for them, and that is me. I know the cost and I am willing to pay. Alpha Romano paces in the living room. Forrest is sitting on the side of the coffee table, hunched forward. Phoenix, Puma, and I are sitting on the couch, with me between them, and Desmond is sitting on the arm of the couch, by Phoenix. “Every single shifter, aside from the panthers, has decided to side with the fae.” Alpha Ro

ALEJANDRA. Today, my hair and makeup are on point. I even tried on twenty different outfits before I settled on a simple black dress. I put on a blazer, thinking it helps me look more ‘mature.’ I hope it does. When I walk into the council today, I don’t want them to see a seventeen-year-old girl. I want them to see a fairy queen. I want them to take me seriously and I want to fight for my people. The door to my room opens and Puma sticks his head inside. “Do I look fierce?” I ask, doing a spin for him. Since I basically just gave Puma permission to check me out, he does. He slowly scans my body and there is fire in his eyes when he finally makes eye contact. “You look really hot.” “I don’t want to look hot. I want to look professional.” I look at my four-inch heels. I thought the added height would help me look more intimidating. “Maybe I should wear flats.” “It doesn’t make a different if you wear heels or flats. You’re still short.” I stick my tongue out at him, taking off m
