PRESENTLY

I thought he loved me, but I was wrong. Mates were known to love each other and are unable to live without each other. Why was my case different?

With a broken heart and a child growing inside of me, I ran hopelessly. I was sprinting down the path that would take me directly into the human realm.

I vowed to myself that I would take care of myself and be a good mother, all the while keeping Caiden in the dark about the existence of our child.

I was at a loss over what to do the next day. How do I get help, and who should I ask? The pain in my chest made me feel miserable and I was hungry.

Everything in the human realm appeared to be different. I felt chilly and powerless as the light rain soaked my clothes. I sought cover under an old building structure, but she was unable to fall asleep. My inner wolf, awake and restless. I believed that humans were more cunning and dangerous than werewolves.

Few days later, I was sharing space with gigantic rats. I was looking for food in a garbage when I felt a soft hand on my arm and heard a woman's voice.

"Are you hungry miss?" she said with a twinkle in her eyes, yet there was sadness in her gaze.

I shrank back. Although the woman didn't look dangerous, I had lost all faith in people. I responded to her by nodding my head.

"Come with me. I'll get you something to eat. You shouldn't be searching the trash can, you can get sick."

The woman persisted, and eventually I gave in to her persistence and trusted her. She treated me with so much respect and I got to know that Catherine was her name. I felt secure next to someone for the first time.

Catherine insisted that we visit the doctor right away after noticing that my tummy continued to swell as the months passed.

Although I was aware that I was pregnant, I had no idea how many children I would be carrying.

"Quadruplets?" I fell back into the chair.

The doctor was talking about how blessed I was to have four lovely babies at once, and I was buried in my own thoughts.

The torment I'd experienced since leaving the pack made having quads seem like a minor thing. I was afraid, though, and I couldn't hide it. I was afraid of how I would care for four infants on my own, so I sobbed while my wolf howled at the full moon.

"You're no longer alone Kamara, you have me now." Catherine said.

The hardest times I had to face in order to adjust to life as a person were the one thing I would never forget. Catherine took me into her home. At the same restaurant where she worked, she got me a job. I was eager to start over somewhere new, somewhere no one would find out about my secret and away from the humiliation of rejection.

However, I could recall a lot of things from my fresh start. I preserved those memories in my heart so I would never forget my past or present. However, I was aware that all changes left their mark.

It had been seven years since I buried the past in the depths of my memory.

I was able to start again, far from the brutality and enslavement I had been subjected to for years because of Caiden's rejection. However, I came dangerously close to failing; for a while, I lost all desire to live. My wolf slept until I could no longer sense it. I stopped eating and sleeping. I began to feel more human as I adjusted to my new life. And I had much more motivation to survive and fight for the quads after they were born.

They gave me a reason live and fight again.

The surrounds were lit by the first rays of daylight. The quads were running around my bed in a frenzy the moment I had opened my eyes. I practically sprung out of bed as Noah yelled from across the room.

"What did I say, Sterling, about not biting your brothers?" The kid grinned and seemed proud of himself when I stared directly into his eyes.

"Mom, I always wanted to be a wolf," he said and growled playfully. Although it was definitely a growl.

I rolled my eyes without saying anything. It was obvious that the quads were unaware of their wolf identity.

Telling them was something I resisted doing. I knew it was going to happen eventually, but whether it was too early or not, I didn't feel ready for it. Disregarding such notion, I thought about getting up to seperate the kids and they were all over each other. My cell vibrated on the other side of the bed. I extended my arm across the bed to grab it.

"I'll be ten minutes late."

It was Catherine's message. How could I doubt Catherine's devotion to the kids when she had taken on the role of their protector? It made my heart feel warm.

The kids had left a trail of toys that nearly kept me from getting to the door, messing everywhere up. I finally made it to the door and Catherine grinned broadly as she stood there and gave me a hug.

"I apologize for the mess, these kids are driving me crazy," I said, feeling down because I was never able to keep the house clean.

"Everything will be in order when you return."

Catherine stooped to gather the toys that were strewn all over the house's entryway.

"You know that's not necessary, Cat," I told her. "The kids are a handful already"

She chuckled, "Don't overthink it, Kamara. You know i enjoy spending time with the boys."

As they spoke, the kids hurried towards her like they did every time Catherine arrived, and gave her hugs that nearly suffocated her.

"Are you sure that spending the night here won't be a problem?" I asked.

With her arms still around the kids, she said, "That question is getting annoying, Kamara. You can leave peacefully for work. I'm good with the kids.

I couldn't help but smile despite my worry. It wasn't the first time Catherine was spending the night with the kids, but I felt uneasy about something, as though it were a warning that something negative might occur.

In order to avoid embarrassing Catherine or giving her the impression that she couldn't care for the kids, I made the decision to keep it to myself.

I hugged them all before I left.

"I'll look after my siblings mom, I promise" Sterling hugged me tightly. He always felt responsible and protective of everyone around him including me. The instinct to protect.

It was impossible to look at Sterling and not remember Caiden. His father's bravery was even more like his own.

Running my hand through the boy's hair, I said, "You're my Alpha, and because you're strong and fearless, you'll guard the entire pack.

The boy laughed at my words.

After giving him another embrace, I walked out of the house to go to work. The kids always carried the werewolf myths with them, even if I never revealed their true identity.

I told them the stories I had personally experienced like legends, so that they wouldn't have a hard time grasping the concept, when the time came for them to learn the truth.

Catherine felt as if she had been the defeated warrior in a battle as night fell in the city of Manhattan. Noah, Sterling, Kyler, and Lucas were all fast asleep on the couch. They didn't look like they have been shouting and running about the house all day. When she got them in bed, she tried to relax. She was sitting in an armchair, a book in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other, when there was a knock on the door. Catherine frowned, looking at the time and wondering if anyone would be there at that hour. She set down the cup, thought about responding as the knocks grew louder.

Her heart was beating as she paused halfway, hoping the person would give up and go away. With four children, Catherine felt helpless and refused to open the door. She heard footsteps fade away after a while, and then the knocking stopped. After her heart stopped racing, she quickly went to bed when the front door was ripped off and violently hurled, barely missing her.

    When Kamara finally made it to the pack, she was taken aback by how much was going on. Caiden was welcomed with open arms by all, and she was no different. She refused to let another second pass before resolving their differences since she had been waiting too many days for this. The children were holding on to her skirt as she walked there. In addition, she had trouble getting through the front door, but security let her in right away."Miss Kamara, the Alpha is meeting with Alpha Stourin from the Mystic Moon pack," Oscar said with a big smile.She sighed in frustration and said, "Okay, I'll wait.""I will be defying an edict from Alpha Caiden if I permit this." He took Kamara by surprise. "You may go in; he gave the order for you and the children to be permitted to enter the main room whenever you please.""Oscar, are you sure?" He nodded, and she gave him a wide, eager look. "If that's the case, I'll ask you to watch the kids while I talk with Caiden. Are you cool with that?"Oscar

    Caiden did not want to discuss what had transpired with Jessie. Caiden had not been inside the old house since the day the complete truth about her was uncovered, and he slept in the main building. He would occasionally catch himself thinking about it, the anxiety he experienced about staying there, all by himself, and full of memories.Before long, word of his split from Jessie reached every other pack of wolves. All the young ladies in the several packs, who came from strong families, were eager to mate the alpha who was single at the moment.Something wasn't right when Lisa walked into the room that morning and noticed Caiden sitting on the couch with large dark bags under his eyes."You haven't left this place since Jessie was put in jail."She looked about the room, noting that it wasn't quite as disorganized as it had been that day. "Caiden, what's going on?"After giving Lisa a quick glance and finishing the last swallow of brandy, he got up."I'm not this way because of Jessie,

    Caiden did nothing but watch as Nate carried Kamara off. They had a lot on their minds, but Caiden had other things on his mind that needed to be addressed, and one of them was in front of him."Did the Alpha stay to hear my final word?" Enzo gave him a sad, indifferent look. He had clearly been confronted by Kamara's statements.He said, "You are banished from the Moon Howlers pack," but Enzo wasn't shocked. "And I'll make sure no pack on the planet welcomes you into their ranks if, by some chance, you ever manage to escape from prison."While Jessie whimpered once again, unable to even protect herself, Enzo swallowed hard. Matt was waiting for this moment with great anticipation when he emerged from the prison area.He leaned against the car and watched Caiden do the same, saying, "What occured in there was a tough one. Your town's residents don't seem to think good of me.""Your scent draws them in. Besides, the pack is not accustomed to human visitors, and none of them know you as

    The modest police station was suddenly filled with a heavy quiet. Trying to see how Kamara would respond to Enzo's account, Caiden watched her closely, but she remained silent.Jessie looked at Enzo within the cell, stunned. How far would he go in his quest for vengeance to the point where he would openly lie to Kamara about their own history?"Enzo, what kind of madness is this?" Jessie asked, but her brother seemed dead serious from the look on his face. "Is Kamara really our sister?""I did say she was our sister," he said, clenching his teeth in a vile manner. "She is my sister. Indeed, I have been dealing with this psychosis ever since I learned of our father's adultery."Kamara found it hard to accept this as reality. Her legs began to weaken as well."You're saying this only to cause me pain," Kamara's heart burned in her chest as tears filled her eyes. "My parents loved each other, they would never do such a thing.""Kamara, you were only a child when they passed away." Enzo s

    Jessie, for one, had obviously not come to that realization yet. Alone with herself in a damp, cold confinement like an animal, she had no company except herself. They just allowed Caiden to occupy her mind. Her wolf would not stop howling, and she knew one thing for sure: she could not go on without the greatest love of her life.She heard footsteps hurrying toward her. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought that it might be a remorseful Caiden coming to her aid, but her shocked expression proved she was wrong.When Enzo was pushed inside, he yelled out in agony. Jessie showed contempt for her own brother and did nothing to assist him. She secretly thought that he was the only one to blame for her horrible misfortune. If Jessie hadn't given in to his insanity, all of this could have been prevented.Enzo held back, leaning against the wall and feigning not to be in pain when he saw Jessie there. He said, "You're not surprised to see me, are you?" without irony or derision this time.

    In the dark jungle, the wolves howled. Nearly all visibility was obscured by a dense mist within a meter's radius. The only thing that Enzo could see clearly was what the moon was shining through the cracks in the trees. He was directed by the sounds and noises of the forest to avoid the impending peril.Following Jessie's capture and humiliation in front of the pack, Enzo was relentlessly pursued. A sizable payment had been offered by Caiden to the hunter who caught his ex-partner's brother. Hunters from all over began looking for the precious fugitive as soon as word got out.Enzo was aware that he wouldn't be able to go very far, especially without somebody to protect or assist him in getting away. When he made the decision to flee, abandoning Jessie in pursuit of his irrational retribution, he had sealed his doom.There would be no mercy or revenge now.He hurried through the dark woodland, desperate to get away, and stumbled into a trap. Enzo broke his femur because the fall was
