KaylaThe quad all stood around my bed, staring at me as though I was a treaure that was just found. I finally sat up and cleared my throat, even if I had no idea of what I wanted to say. I had a lot to say, especially to Jason who saved my life. But then, looking at each of them suddenly made me lose my will to speak.“I didn’t do her anything! I can swear to that. She just pushed me into the pool”, I started, with a sincere look on my face.I had thought that they were going to start blaming me for upsetting their girlfriend, or something like that.“Are you okay?” Jason asked instead and walked over to me, placing his hands on my forehead to be sure that my temperature was good.Ethan was the next to come sit beside me. He pulled me into a warm hug that melted my soul. Jake and Mason stayed back, but their eyes were fixed on me.“You scared us back there! Don’t do that again”, Mason said and licked his lower lips that almost made me swallow my tongue. He never failed to display hi
JakeUsually, I’m that brother in the quad that is last to learn of situations or that is forgotten. Put in short, I am usually forgotten and sometimes, treated as though I don’t exist. I didn’t care about that though. I loved how quiet and simple my life was…until Kayla came into the picture. I had a thing for her right from the minute she was introduced as our step sisters. There was a longing for her in my soul, and deep down, I wanted to have her in my arms. However, we were the very popular alphas and I had to succumb to punishing her together with my brothers. That act of ours made us feel sort of powerful, even if we saw her in pain.Somehow, I felt glad that she was our mate, but still, I felt sort of inferior and shy whenever I was in her presence. She had a fierce aura that made me recoil and melt, despite how hard I tried to carry myself or feel aplomb.“I would go take a walk. Take care of her”, Mason said and patted my back, after which he walked out of the room.Deep
KaylaThe minute the quad left my room, Bella came in and took a seat beside my bed. She seemed to be lost in thoughts and I needed no one to tell me the reason why.“I heard that Bianca was only trying to carry out a test and it was just as she predicted”, Bella started, staring at me intently while I scrunched my brows in a bid to pretend as though I had no idea of what she was talking about. “A test?” I asked and she nodded her head in affirmation.“She intentionally pushed you into the pool because she wanted to see if the quad would come save you and just as she thought, they did”, Bella added, with a thoughtful stare that almost made me laugh.“I don’t think that’s true. I mean, there are always rumors at the pack and one can’t know which is true or false”, I said and waved my hands at her to signify an end to the discussion. However, Bella was not willing to end it there. She had a lot in her mind and this was evident in her expression.“No…it might be true. The quad never c
JasonI was fuming with rage as I made my way across to Ashley and Bianca, who didn’t seem to be moved by what had just happened.I grabbed Bianca on her neck until she winced in pain and struggled to free herself from the grip.“What is wrong with you? You tried to kill her”, I declared defiantly, while they gazed at me as though I’ve just uttered something I wasn’t meant to.“You never used to be concerned with that. What changed?” Ashley asked with a cracked voice. I could see a stream of tears in her eyes. But then, that didn’t seem to bother me a bit. I was just furious that they planned to kill Kayla.“That was only a test! That was a test”, Ashley blurted out, and for a minute, I thought that I had heard wrongly.My emotions almost gave me away at this point, but I braced up and upheld my stern gaze.“And what are you insinuating?” I asked sternly, gazing at the both of them with a blood shot eyes.“Bianca was trying to prove a point, that you all can’t watch Kayla getting hur
KaylaI can’t remember the last time I felt so much tension in the air. The air was extremely stuffed and the glares coming from Bianca and Ashley were enough to rip my heart apart. We were sitting round the large dining table, facing each other, with the quad also sitting beside us. My heart was beating frantically, and my body was shaking in anxiety. I knew that I haven’t felt this way in a long time…a feeling of anxiety. This was basically because of the powers that I possessed. However, deep down, it felt as though something would actually go wrong, even with the powers I have inside of me. “You both would have to apologize to Kayla”, Jason started as I shifted my gaze to stare at him. It was crazy to see him as the person who backed me up the most. I knew that each of them grew a soft spot for me the moment they discovered that we were mates. However, Jason’s overprotectiveness was over the edge, and it stirred weird feelings inside of me.Ethan was sitting at another end of
Ethan’s PovI had a book in my hands as I barely paid attention to what was currently happening. Whatever it was I read was more important than the meeting that currently took place and this was because I wanted to know what my fate with Kayla would entail. After discovering that we all had her as our mate, I indulged in an intense research session, to find out what could have prompted that and how to act in such situation.For the rest of the month, I was willing to continue with the research, right until I laid my hands on something tangible.Bianca gently tapped me beneath the table, with a soft eyes that made it impossible to believe that she was the one who attempted to kill Kayla at the pool.“Can you plead on my behalf? I can’t apologize to Kaya…it would be a wound to my ego”, she whispered, with a small frown on her face. I scoffed silently and shoved her hands away from my body. Even if she was my girlfriend, the last thing I was going to take was someone who would attempt
KaylaI sank into my bed and caressed my forehead since it was banging terribly. The day’s events was enough to make me feel that way because I could tell that Bianca and Ashley hated apologizing to others. And seeing how the quad forced them to apologize to me made it worst. This was trouble and war. I could sense it, even in my sleep. Just as I looked out of my window, I caught sight of Jason who was taking a walk. He had a troubled look on his face which I wanted to turn a blind eye to, but my wolf wouldn’t stop disturbing.“Okay! Fine”, I mumbled calmly as I stood up and made my way across to him, almost missing my step out of anxiety. Jason was the one who always got me anxious and unstable. He had a very queer nature that was hard to understand. One moment, it feels as though I can decipher what he has in mind, and another moment, it feels as if I’ve never known him. “Jason…”, I called quietly, causing him to stop in his tracks. He swirled around and quickly darted his eye
EthanThe next morning, I went over to the kitchen, hoping to catch sight of Kayla in the midst of the omegas. Ever since her mother died, she started working with the other omegas, even if we knew that this was not right. My father declared that she starts working with them, even if she was his step daughter. He had a sort of hate for Kayla and her mother, one that was hard to decipher.Thinking of it now, I guess that I would be suggesting something to my father the next time we meet. He needs to consider allowing Kayla live as the daughter of the alpha king and not a servant…“Kayla is not here?” I asked Bella who was washing some clothes at the back of the kitchen. She was shocked to see me and this was evident in her eyes. “You are looking for Kayla?” She asked, staring at me from my head down to my foot. I squinted my eyes and scrunched my brows. I could tell that she was surprised and I needed no one to tell me why. This was the very first time I went all the way to the ki
