SUZIE'S POV
A throbbing pain resounded in my head, stirring me back to consciousness. My eyes twitch as I struggled to raise my heavy eyelids. Darkness elevated from my surroundings as my eyes flew open slowly.
My gaze was met with a high, white ceiling, having a large, crystal chandelier fixed in the middle. I blinked, my eyes trailing all around the environment I was in.
It was a large room, an unfamiliar one at that. I had never been to this room before, nor had I seen it before. I tried to move, but my body felt like it weighed a ton, and the throbbing in my head only seemed to intensify.
What was I doing here? What was these strange room? The questions swirled around in my head, desperate to be answered. My mind began to back track, to try and recall the events that happened and what could've possibly led me here.
After a few seconds of racking my brain, I recalled the encounter with Asher and Blair and how I had pulled out my gun and used it against them. I remembered vividly, the sight of blood, pooling out of his arm and the way he looked at me with so much hurt, you would think I had stabbed him in the heart.
I groaned, clutching my head as the pain intensified. It felt like someone was playing the drum, right in my head.
"Suzie," A deep, yet soft voice called out to me.
I froze, the familiar voice buzzing inside my head. And then, I smelled it. The sweet, intoxicating scent. It filled the room, filling my nostrils with so much intensity. I knew what this smell was. It was the same scent I had gotten from Asher and Blair when I had felt the mate bond. My eyes followed the scent and it fell on the room door.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw him standing there. It was Felix. Questions began to pop up in my head. What had I expected? If Asher and Blair were my mates, it was obvious that the rest of the quadruplets would be too.
I bit my lips as I watched him slowly approach the bed. Although they all looked identical to each other, I could easily tell Felix apart from the rest. We were once lovers after all.
He grabbed the chair that was sitting by the desk, and placed it beside the bed. Felix took a seat, his eyes, never leaving mine.
"Are you alright? How are you feeling?" He asked in the softest, most sweetest voice I had ever heard.
In that moment, anger began to boil inside of me. After everything, after how he had treated and put me through, why was he acting nice to me all of a sudden. The soft look in his eyes made me even more infuriated than ever.
"Where the hell am I? Were you the one that brought me here?" I groaned, the throbbing in my head making me wince in pain.
"You're at the main house, the pack house."
My eyes went wide. It was no wonder the room was littered with expensive furniture. But what was I doing here?
"Asher and Blair brought you here, you were in really bad shape."
I pulled the sheets away from my body and pushed myself up until my back was resting on the bed frame. I shot a glare at Felix and I was ready to yell at him, to tell him to get out, but my heart melted from the sight of him.
I could feel the connection again, the one I had felt sigh Asher and Blair, drawing me to him. It was my wolf and I could feel how much she yearned to accept our mate, to be with him. But then, my rationally was bigger then any mate bond.
The ache in my head increased as I blocked out my wolf completely. I could not have her making me feel like this towards these brothers that I despised.
"Suzie, I'm sure you can feel it, and I'm sure you know," Felix spoke up as he licked his lower lips. "But we're mates. You have nothing to worry about, my brothers and I will take good care of you. You can even stay with us here, in the pack house."
I scoffed, my eyes scanning him in disbelief. How dare he have the audacity to say all these things, after he and his brother's had contributed in making my life a living hell.
I grabbed a fistful of the sheets as I tried to contain the ungodly rage that consumed me.
"How dare you," I muttered. "How dare you say all of this to me, even after knowing how much you've made my life miserable. You think I'm just going to erase everything you've done to me because of a stupid mate bond? You're dead wrong."
Felix sighed, running a hand through messy hair. "Sizie, look-"
"Don't you date call my name like we're all chummy," I hissed. "I will never, ever give in to the mate bondm no, not after all the harm you and your brothers have caused me."
Felix's face seemed to droop, a foreign expression plastered on it. Hurt. Felix was hurt. I blinked, shocked at how strange this all was. Why? Why was he suddenly acting like this? The cold, unfeeling Felix I knew, the heartless monster that enjoyed seeing me rot in my torment was no where to be found.
Felix's head drooped as he spoke up. "You are right Suzie, I actually have no right to say all these things to you. You know, I finally realize everything I did to you, and knowing that I was the one that put you in so much pain, breaks me."
Time seemed to stand still as I absorbed his words.
Felix continued. "I don't blame you for rejecting me and my brothers and I want to sincerely apologise. I am more than sorry and regretful that you have to be put in this kind of situation Suzie."
I was speechless, I could not utter a single word. This was what I had wanted for a very long time, for my bullies to regret their actions and apologize to me. But now that I was finally hearing the one thing I wanted, I was in disbelief.
Felix has just apologized to me, and his words left no doubt on how sincere he was.
A sudden wave of emotions cascaded through me. My eyes filled with tears, my vision blurred. They spilled down to my cheeks like a fountain, and even though I tried to wipe them away, they kept pouring down.
I began to sob, a hiccup occasionally popping up between each sob. As my son's grew louder, the door swung open and through my blurry gaze, I saw Asher, Blair and Roy run up to me. They seemed to be asking Felix questions, but it was muffled, due to how hard I was crying.
Soon enough they all surrounded me, wrapping me up in a hug. Although unexpected, I did not push them away. Instead, I embraced the hug and cried my hearts out.
I drowned in the warmth their bodies gave me and soon enough, my sobs began to reduce. Sleep overcame me in an instant and I relax more in their arms.
As I began to drift off to sleep, I could here the quadruplets talking.
"We need to get her examined for injuries, I fear that her father might have done a lot of damage on her," Asher said.
They all began to talk, but my consciousness was slowly fading. My eyelids slid shut, as I finally embraced sleep.
ASHER'S POV"What took you so long?" I asked, clicking my tongue as I watched Blair jog up to me.He fumbled to put on his jacket as he shot me an apologetic look."Sorry, took me a few minutes to grab my jacket," He said.I rolled my eyes and tilted my head to look behind him. I had expected Roy to show up as well, but he was nowhere in sight. I switched my gaze to Blair, an eyebrow raised."Where is Roy?"Blair just shrugged and hopped into the passengers seat of my car. I groaned, rubbing my temples. I did not have time for tardiness, especially now when I was more than frantic to find out if Suzie had sustained any serious physical injuries from her father.I began to pace around, but stopped when I heard the door swing open. Roy stepped out, shooting me a smirk."Why the hell did you take so much time?""I needed to wear some better clothes, chill out man," He grinned patting me on the back before hoping into the car.I let out a sigh, running a hand through my hair as I hopped i
FELIXMy eyes were fixed directly on Suzie's still form. She lay in bed, wrapped in the sheets, her eye bags puffed from crying her eyes out. Seeing her bawl her eyes out like that invocked a new emotion I never knew I had.Empathy.The strings in my heart had been tugged so hard, just from seeing her cry and it hurt my very being. I let out a sigh as I watched her eyes twitch and her brows furrow like she was in some kind of pain.Asher had mention earlier that she may have sustained some major injuries from her father beating her everyday and I hoped that wasn't case. If it was, then her father would pay gravely for laying his hands.I rose up from the chair and walked slowly up to the queen sized bed. I brushed my hands against Suzie's cheeks and watched her flinch from my touch. My heart melted as I stared at her. I could not imagine why I had done those horrible things to her, and why I had suddenly developed stronger feelings for her.Was it the mate bond?I knew for a fact that
SUZIE'S POVI stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at my reflection with wide eyes. I was clad in no clothing, so my eyes cascaded down my enter body. My cheeks flushed a bright red when I saw all the bit marks and hickeys that has been left on my body after the steamy moment I had with the brothers."These marks look good on you," A voice resounded in my head.Although unfamiliar, I could feel a sense of familiarity from the voice. There was no doubt about it, this was my wolf. I frowned at her words. I was very much displeased by the marks all over my body."I hate this, I didn't want to have sex with them," I muttered, my eyes still fixed on the mirror. "But I felt this pull and I couldn't stop myself.""It's the mate bond darling," My wolf chuckled. "Ans look at that, your bruises are actually being healed."I blinked, my eyes flickering from each bruise on my body. The bruises were actually starting to disappear, slowly, but it was noticeable."How is this happening?!"
SUZIE'S POVHow had I been placed in this predicament?Blair's words and Asher's pleading were ringing in my head. The air seemed still and thick with tension, while time seemed to have frozen. I channelled my gaze to Blair and it slowly shift to Asher, Roy and Felix.They were all looking at me expectantly, waiting for my answer.I swallowed, my gaze averting to the ground. I was only expecting, that I'd stay in the pack house for a few days, and then I'd leave after I was feeling better, but now they wanted me to stay for a while longer?The thought of staying with the very people I hated made my skin crawl, but at the same time, I could feel a hint of happiness. Why? Was it because of the mate bond?I shook my head, dispelling these thoughts. Staying with the brothers in this pack house was out of the question.As I opened my mouth to speak, to give my answer, my wolf began to speak to me."Suzie, wait, don't make any rash decisions," She said.Rash decisions? This was anything but
BLAIR'S POV"Who sent you?" I asked, my hand curled up in a fist as I looked down at the rogue, kneeling before me.He looked down at me, his eyes filled with rage. "I will tell you nothing," He snarled.I shrugged. "That works for me too. I can keep beating you till you are ready to speak up."I swung my fist landing a perfect, direct blow to his chin. I swung my other fist, landing it on the other side of his face. The blows kept coming, and blood slowly pooled out of his mouth as he groaned.I grinned, my eyes going wide as shockwaves of pleasure rippled through me. This was it, this was what I loved and craved; Violence. Every since I was young, I cared about nothing. Not the pack, the affairs and duties I was supposed to uptake as the second son of the great alpha, none of that was of interest to me.I only cared about my parents and my brothers, but I also cared more about violence. Due to the Alpha blood in me, I was one of the strongest among my brothers and that made me even
SUZIE'S POVI stirred, my eyes fluttering open. I could feel large arms wrapped around me and when I looked up, I saw Blair, his eyes forward as he carried me through the forest. I instantly turned beet red as memories of what we did.I could not believe everything that had happened. The way I had given into my desire was so unlike me, but I could not describe how much I was being pulled to him. My senses had been completely taken over and I let myself drown in the pleasure he gave me.And despite my hate for him, I still enjoyed it.I flushed some more, burying my head in his chest."Are you up princess?""Prince-"I flushed even further. Blair chuckled, his grip on me tightened. It took me a while to realize that we were both naked."Um, Blair, we're n-naked.""Well yeah. We were both in our wolf form and we transformed."I raised an eyebrow. "Is that why we were naked?""Yeah," He looked down at me. "You didn't know that ?"I shook my head.He sighed. "That explains why you were ou
SUZIE'S POVThe sound of birds chirping stirred me from my sleep. My eyes fluttered open and I saw sunlight, streaming into the room through the slim fabric of the silk curtains. I sat up on the bed, yawning as I stretched my limbs.I looked around me, and a smile tugged at the corner of my lips. I had noticed something.Usually, I would fall asleep and have a nightmare, that would always last till I woke up. But last night, I fell asleep without having a nightmare and has a peaceful sleep. As much as I hated being here, I couldn't deny that it was better than staying with my father.The clock beside me began to ring softly and I jolted back, my eyes shifting to it. The clock the displayed the time and my eyes went wide when I saw it was right o'clock on the dot. I immediately remembered that we were all going to school today.I pushed myself out of bed and hopped into the shower, wore some clothes and exited the room in under a few minutes. As I stepped down a stairs, a maid approach
SUZIE'S POVI swiftly turned back, my eyes finally landing on Leah. I had my back against the wall as I glared at her. She has this unreadable look on her face. It was like a mixture of anger, but the smile slowly curling up her lips contradicted it.The bathroom door swung opened up again, and all her cronies trooped in, like it was planned. I knew this was not going to end well."What do you want Leah?" I hissed as I tried to control my voice from quivering.Leah's face softened and she looked hurt. Her whole demeanour through me off, and for a second, I relaxed a bit."You know, it hurts seeing you react to me like this, have I really been that much of a bad person to you?"I was dumfounded. I did not know if she asked a rhetorical question or I was supposed to answer her. But I remained silent, because I was at loss for words.Leah walked closer to me, until we were standing an inch away from each other. My heart was hammering in my chest so hard, that I was convinced she could he
SUZIE'S POVThe birds chirping outside the window, roused me up from my sleep. I moved around in the bed and noticed that there was no one beside me. My eyes fluttered open, and I pushed myself up on the bed as I rubbed my eyes.I looked around, my eyes scanning the empty bed as questions popped up in my head. I vividly remember falling asleep in my mates arms, but now, they were no where in sight.Where had they gone?I looked around, unsure of where they could've gone and why they were not in the bed when it was just a few minutes past 6am. I pushed myself up from the bed and as my feet touched the ground, the door burst open and my mates trouped in.Asher was grinning at me and beside him was Blair, who held a large tray in his hand. My eyes moved to Roy and Felix, who also has trays in their hand. I was puzzled and I raised my eyebrows at them."What is all of this?" I asked."We wanted to surprise the most beautiful woman in the world with some breakfast in bed. Pretty neat right
CARL'S POVI slipped through the window, my body hitting the floor. I breathed out a sigh of relief as I rose up from the floor, and dusted the dirt away from my shirt. I looked around the room, one more time to confirm if Elliot was here.Thankfully, he wasn't.I quickly peeled off everything item of clothing I had on, and slipped on a robe. I needed to act and look like I had never left the room before he came back. I quickly changed back to my original form, but the make up I had applied on my face was still there.I swiped some wipes off the table and sat in front of the vanity mirror. I had applied on some heavy make up, just in case someone managed to recognise me through the disguise. I wiped my forehead, and slowly went down to my eyebrows.I wiped of the mascara, and just as I was about to wipe off the red lipstick, I began to hear the locks on the door click. I froze, unable to move as I watched the door unlock. The door clicked, and swung open.My eyes went wide as they fel
SUZIE'S POV"Hey, how are you holding up?"I was suddenly jolted out of my mind, and it was only them I realised that I had still been staring at the burning pack house, only that now, it wasn't ablaze anymore. The remains, ashes, black debris was the only thing in sight.I turned back to see Felix, gazing at me with softness in his eyes. I shot him a wry smile, because even I was unable to tell if I was okay or not. Everything had happened so fast, and it was overwhelming. My mind kept replaying each scene, and I knew I would remember these events for a very long time.The carriage shook, and I turned to see Felix settling down beside me. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled closer to him, placing my head on his chest. He stroked my hair and the feeling put a sense of calmness over me."You don't have to say anything, I can tell how you're feeling. Everything that happened was really heavy and you are honestly very strong for pushing through."I chuckled. "The only reason I co
SUZIE'S POVThe boy I held in my hands, was not only covered in my blood, but his as well. I only noticed when I saw the large cut wound at his side. Blood was gushing out from the large wound, and the life in his eyes were slowly dimming out.My eyes went wide and I ran my hands across his face. "No, no, no, I can't let you die," I muttered through gritted teeth.I tried to push myself up from the ground, when I felt a sharp pain, just above my abdomen. The pain stopped me from moving, and my eyes travelled down to the spot. A large branch was stuck right in that spot, and blood filled the floor below it.I groaning, feeling the pain rising as I kept moving. I ignored the pain, and pushed myself up, until my back was resting on a large boulder. I held the bit close, his eyes blinking rapidly.His breathing was getting shallow by the minute, and soon, I could not see the rise and fall of his chest. My lips began to quiver, and so did my hands. I clutched him tightly, like he was my la
SUZIE'S POVI turned my head back slowly, and my eyes fell on the young boy. He had his first clenched to his sides and a mean scowl on his face. He had his gaze son Blair, who was still trying to recover. What had just happened? I assumed that Blair will deal with the boy easily, so what was going on?"Fuck, that bastard, how is he that strong? I underestimated him," Blair groaned as he rose to his feet.The boy began to breathe heavily, with his chest rising and falling rapidly. He eyes were growing redder by the minute, and so was his skin. He looked at me, and a chill ran down my spine."How dare you, how dare you, how dare all of you! How dare you interrupt me from serving my purpose in life!"He screamed again, and it resembled the shriek of that hideous monster. I placed my hands on my ears and winced as they began to ring. I watched, mortified as the boy's body began to change slowly.His skin grew as red as blood and two large horns emerged from his forehead. His eyes now hel
SUZIE'S POVI ran, as fast as my quivering legs could carry me. I was too scared to turn back, but I could hear the shrieks and screams of the monster, right behind me. I could hear the sound of it crawling through the boulder, and I knew it was a matter of time before it got its hands on me.My breath was laboured and I was gasping for air at this point. My legs were getting weak, but I had to push on. The images of my mate, and the sounds of their struggles replayed in my mind. My vision blurred with tears as I thought of their condition.I wished I could go back for them, but I could only pray that they weren't badly hurt.The screams of the entity rang through the air once again, the sound bouncing off against the wall, and making the whole cave shudder. Rocks and debris began to fall, hitting my skin, and nicking it.But I ignored the bruises and kept running.It didn't take long, like I had anticipated, before I could hear the sound of the monster heavy steps behind me. It was c
SUZIE'S POVI was in awe, and I didn't know how to act, or react to the tantrum Geraldine was exhibiting right in front of me. She kept shrieking like a mad person, again and, until the walls began to vibrate."What is she doing?" Asher asked.I turned to them, and they eyes were fixed on her, a fearful and confused look on their faces. I snapped my head back and suddenly, Geraldine passed. With her hands in the air and her eyes looking up to the roof, she stood still, unmoving.I watched, in amusement, as she slowly brought her hands back to her side and she looked at me. Her face and her whole demeanour was calmer that it was, a few seconds ago. She sighed and smiled at me while she shook her head."I knew it would come to this," she sighed, "I knew you would refuse my offer, and how i wish you had accepted. Now, I am forced to use my last resort."Last resort? All the hairs at the back of my neck stood up straight. I had a terrible feeling about her words, and I could not shake it
SUZIE'S POVMy eyes went so wide, I feared they would fall of, as I gazed at the people that trooped into the cave. They were children, elderly men and woman, and a few young men, but they all looked malnourished.Some of the were missing a limb, while some looked like they had a permanent brain disorder. Some could barely walk, and they limped, while some of them looked so skinny, their bones were protruding out of their skin.It was so bad, that I thought their bones would pop out, and tear through their skin. They all stood beside Geraldine, and they could not gaze into my eyes. They all looked downwards, and most of them did not have functioning eyes.I did not know whether to feel pity, or shock at the sight that was before me. And I couldn't even look at them, because of how deformed most of them looked. They didn't look human, and they had a creepy aura surrounding them.Geraldine's gaze switched to me, and she had a more firm and calm demeanour."As you can see, these are the
SUZIE'S POV"Please, forgive him, he was just a boy that went astray, do forgive him. He didn't know what he was doing," Geraldine said aa she clasped her hands together.I looked at the way her eyes were pleading with me. Hee whole demeanour looked like she was desperate. She was, but there was nothing I could do to help her. It also angered me that she wanted me to just forgive the dark king's transgressions so easily."You make it seem like the dark king, the things he did holds no weight, but it seems like you do not understand the height of the things he did. He sent our a deadly plague to my people. He killed families, children, women, men, he killed them without batting an eye lid. He tortured me countless of times and molested me when I was just a child!"My whole body began to quiver as I began to remember those bitter memories I had hidden at the back of my mind. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I turned to see Asher, comforting me. I placed my hand on his ansShot him a sma
