SUZIE'S POVMy eyes cracked open and my body felt like it has merged with the bed beneath me. It felt like I had been beaten with bricks. I tried to move my hand, but my sore muscles restricted me from moving it to far. I groaned and tried to roll to my side, but the same soreness hit me like a maelstrom.I recoiled, each muscle in my body feeling like it was on fire. I heard the door to my room crack open, but I could not lift a muscle. Hurried footsteps echoed through the marble floor, and the moment I opened my eyes, I saw Roy standing right over me."Suzie? Are you alright?" He asked as concern bathed his features.I opened my mouth to speak, but my voice failed me. A single croak left my lips and I grabbed a hold of my throat in shock. What happened to my voice?"Shit," Roy cursed.More footsteps filled my ears and within the blink of an eye, all brothers were standing right in front of me."She doesn't look very good, she's even lost her voice," Roy said."Damn, this is why I di
SUZIE'S POVI was stunned.I could not take my eyes away from the sight before me. The brightly decorated flower arc was what caught my attention immediately. I stood on the balcony of my room on the third floor, staring down at the open space they had prepared for the mating ceremony.It seemed like yesterday when alpha Cole has announced that the mating ceremony would take place, and the day has finally come. I was nervous, but also excited to see how the day would play out, especially when I was going to be the centre of attention.There had never been an occasion where I would be the centre of attention. My birthdays had never been celebrated and I was not the type to like crowds, but for this occasion, I was more than willing leave my comfort zone.My eyes flickered from the arc that was decorated wit flowers of different colours, across the whole space. Thousands of rows, of chairs has been placed with tables, having small bouquets on them. Right in from of the large rows of cha
SUZIE'S POVI swallowed hard as I stood in front of the manor, that loomed over me. My stomach was in knots, and I could feel my hands get sweatier by each passing second. I was nervous, and a bundle of nerves. I hated the fact that I has to come back to this place, but I did not have a choice.I had made a deal.I took deep, deliberate breaths and approached the large double doors. The guards did not block the way this time, instead, they moved out of the way, and even pushed the doors open for me. It was clear that the alpha had made them know of my arrival.I stepped into the large manor, and as I took a few steps inside, I heard one of the guards speak up."The alpha wants you to go to his chambers. It is on the third floor to the left."I swallowed hard and kept walking. I began to walked up the large stairs and each step felt heavy. There was a sense of foreboding and I could feel all the hairs on the back of my neck stand erect.I was scared.I knew I was the one that made the
SUZIE'S POVGreen, shining orbs. That was the first detail on his face that caught my attention. Apart from the brown messy hair and the deep set upturned eyes, his eyes made his face brighten up even more.Time froze and I remained petrified as I stared at his orbs. Was I entranced by this stranger? It seemed that way. I blinked several times as I recalled his words. My face flushed as I realized that he felt that connection too.Despite the warring emotions within me, I decided to play my cool. From the corner of my eyes, I could see the brothers, looking at me, studying my every move. I cleared my throat and faced my notebook."It would be best if you don't talk to me, I'm not looking for friends," I said coldly."Why not? I want to be friends with you though," He grinned, placing his chin on his hand.I glanced at him and swallowed. "You are a pretty handsome guy, I'm sure you'll have a lot of people flocking to you in hopes to be friends with you. It doesn't have to be me."Ellio
ASHER'S POVI sat behind my desk, shuffling through piles of unattended paperwork. My brothers were hanging around and helping to sort out the documents with me. I ran a hand through my hair as I flung piles of paper away from my face."How long are we going to sit here and do this? I want to go train," Blair groaned."You know we've been busy this past week, so the work has piled up. This is inevitable. Let's just hurry up and get it over with," Felix sighed without looking from the document he held in his hands.I rubbed my aching temples as I picked up the cup of coffee beside me. As I took a sip of the bitter liquid, I resounding knock came on the office doors.All our eyes snapped to the door and we shared a look before Roy spoke."You are free to come in."The door cracked open and a man in a black coat walked in. I immediately recognised him."Detective Salomon, I wasn't expecting you hear from you so soon. I take it that you have what we asked of you?" I said, my hands clasped
SUZIE'S POVElliott burst out laughing, and I immediately felt stupid for bombarding him with questions. I averted my eyes from him and towards the cat as heat flooded my cheeks.Elliott folded his arms with a grin plastered on his perfectly shaped lips."Don't you think it's unfair that you're asking me all these questions. I'll tell you what, let's play a game."I cocked my head to the side as I looked up at him. "A game?"He nodded. "We'll both ask each other questions and anyone that doesn't answer loses."I raised an eyebrow at him. "And what does the loser do?""I'm glad you asked," He grinned, " The loser will do anything the winner asks. That seems fair enough no?"The game wasn't a bad idea and whatever the outcome was, I was still going to benefit from it. I needed to know why my wolf was so drawn to him and I was going to use this opportunity as a way to find that out.I shrugged. "Yeah. Why don't you go first?"Elliott drummed his fingers on his chin as he looked up to the
SUZIE'S POV"Let's go check up on the cat," Elliot beamed as he stood in front of me.I blinked at him as I slowly processed his words. School had ended and I was slowly packing up my books and getting ready to leave the school premises. The quadruplets were still occupied with work, so I was going to walk home alone today.Or so I thought.I sighed as my eyes drifted back to my books. "Sure, why not?"Elliot grinned at me and waited for me to finish up with what I was doing. I figured there was no use avoiding Elliot and he seemed like a nice person. It also helped that I felt comfortable around him, that way it didn't feel weird for me.I picked up my bag, slinging it over my shoulder and we began to exit the classroom."Where did you keep the cat by the way?" I quizzed as we slipped out of the school building."Oh, yeah, I did tell you I'll handle the cat yesterday," Elliot chuckled. "Follow me, I'll show you."I nodded and we began to walk down the road. We walked a few blocks dow
FELIX'S POVI stared at my phone, my eyes fixed on the last text Suzie has sent me. She has agreed to cook dinner with us and it made me really happy. But now, all I could do was worry. It has been two hours since she sent the text, and she clearly stated she was on her way home.So why was she not back yet.My eyes trailed to the window and I saw that the clouds were already darkened. My eyes flickered to the clock, and it displayed the time very boldly. It was a little after 8pm, which made me worry even more.I heard footsteps and turned to see Blair walked into the living room."She isn't back yet?" He asked.I shook my head. Blair cursed underneath his breath and began to pace around the living room. His anxiety matched mine, and seeing him pace around was making me even more anxious.Asher and Roy walked into the living room a few minutes later and it was clear from their expression that they were just as worried as I was."She isn't back yet, what are we going to do?" Roy asked
