The Fourfold Desires Chapter 11
Fiona’s POV“Fiona?”“Yes?” “Are you okay?” I stared at the mug of scalding sweet coffee next to me, dazed. I was dazed. What was he doing here? He had no business in the kitchen. Unease slithered deep in my guts like rattle snakes. The sweet coffee I sipped earlier tasted like bile. I could feel the sleep deprivation taking over. That’s the only thing that could explain why Jin was in the kitchen at the break of fucking dawn, preparing breakfast nonetheless! He made me a cup of coffee for goodness sakes. Suddenly, I felt ill. The strong urge to vomit crawled up my throat, threatening to explode from my mouth like a missile. I imagined emptying the measly contents of my stomach over the cup of coffee and the ingredients for the Luna’s breakfast and didn’t think neither of them would appreciate the mess. I imagined Jin forcing my face down, forcing me to clean up the putrid mess I made with my tongue, or something equally vile and disgusting—and shuddered in repulsion. A gentle han

Fiona’s POV“ No! It’s not like that.” I cried, shaking my head frantically in denial.” When I came down this morning, Jin was already—” “ Shut up you manipulative whore!” The Luna yelled, hatred and rage brimming in her eyes. “Silence! Another word from your lying tongue and I’ll rip out your mouth.”“Watch your tongue, mother!” Jin warned stonily, anger sipping from his tensed frame in waves. But his mother ignored him. “You think you can easily weasel your way into becoming a Luna. You may have my son fooled with your innocent act, but not me. I see you for the vile creature you are. The only thing your disgusting identity is worth being is that of a nanny.” She snapped. Tears filled my eyes at her cruel words and quickly blinked them away. But the more I blinked, the more they flowed. I tried and failed to connect the woman who saved me on the day of my parent’s death to the woman glaring at me with open hate. I wanted to ask her what I did deserve her hate. Why not matter what

Fiona’s POV“I don’t want to go to school with you.”The sounds of cutlery against the ceramic plates seized abruptly. The silence heavy with uncertainty but I refused to back down. “Excuse me?” Jin asked, his tone mild. “I don’t want to go to school with you.” I repeated firmly, meeting his gaze squarely. His intense stare almost made me squirm but I held my ground. The mere thought of being in the same space as Jin made me ill with panic. Different scenarios played in my head at the thought of us riding together to school, or the rumors that with circulate at the thought of me with Jin. The disaster with Helena and her group at last night’s party was still fresh. And there was no way I’ll be caught with alone with Jin. The bullying would be ten times worse. Not to mention now that I have a literal target on my back. Helena and her minions want my blood. “Why?” Jin questioned, setting down his spoon before leveling me a cool stare. “I just don’t want to.” I replied with equal ca

Fiona’s POVWith Jin’s threat hanging between us like an oppressive fog, I remained silent, zoning out Jin’s presence, zoning out the fear and anxiety crippling me, and stared outside to the scenery zooming past us. I was tired and the urge to speak wasn’t there. My mind revisited the scene in the kitchen and the party last night, replaying everything until it merged into a dizzying blur that left me reeling. Or maybe it was just my exhaustion talking. I thought about getting a quick shut-eye then remembered who I was in the car with and thought better of it. There was no telling what was going through that bleak mind of his and I wanted nothing more than to get to school in one piece, both physically and mentally. But the ambience and silence of the car was so soothing and comforting that I let my drooping eyelids slide close.I wish my life was like this, silent and peaceful. Just drifting away from everything until I was —The car was thrown into brakes unexpectedly and I almost c

Fiona’s POVJin arched a confused brow. “What does it look like I’m doing? I’m driving to the parking lot.”“Why didn’t you park in the other one?” I asked, the bouncing of my leg picked up speed. “I want to park here?”Why? So they can all glare at me? I was already hated enough before, I didn’t need to add more to it. I imagined what would happen if people saw me and Jin stepping out of the car together—or God forbid if Helena or one of her minions saw me. “Stop me here. Fucking stop or I swear I’ll jump out of this car, consequences be damned!”“Don’t be stupid.” Jin chided, eyeing me warily.“Wanna bet?” I asked, hooking a finger over the door leveler, a frantic light entering my eyes. The funniest thing was, I was actually prepared to do it. I’d rather plummet to my death than face the thousand eyes waiting for me the moment I stepped out. I’ve lived my life with my head down and I wasn’t going to change it just because some dickhead had an epiphany on how to become a good perso

Fiona’s POVI kept thinking about that walk-in I had with Jin and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t get his words out of my head. The fact that he had the nerve to act all possessive had me scoffing at the absurdity of it all. Not to mention the underlying threat in his voice which left room from little doubt that he’d carry it out. If what the four of them were saying was the truth, then how was I to avoid the other three? I could try to hold off Soren and Kai, but Lyn? There was no way. Lyn was unhinged. A monster who acted on his dark impulses with little to no regret. This was something that I had experienced first hand. Had Kai and Jin not stopped him, he would have had his way with me regardless and there will be no consequences on his part.He was an alpha, and I was an omega. A no one and the scorn of the pack.I didn’t notice the numerous stares leveled at me from all corners until it was too late. The whispers and the snickers and the snide comments. I realized with inc

Fiona’s POV“What is going on here?”My heart dropped to my stomach at the sound of Jin’s voice, dark and angry, and I instantly froze in fear and panic. Oh, God. Please no… I could feel his angry gaze stabbing into my back without looking at him. Is didn’t need to. My crippling anxiety and fear had me rooted on the spot. This has been another level of shit show that I was hoping to avoid. Everything within me screamed at me to run. To abandon everything. But it didn’t matter how much or long I ran, I’ll be caught. This was my dreaded fate.A large hand clamped over my right shoulder and forcefully maneuvered me to stare into Jin’s eyes lit with wild possessive anger. I inwardly cursed myself for not running away from the auditorium fast enough and I cursed Lyn and Jin for a truly shitty morning. I was really looking forward to an uneventful day.“I asked you a question and I deserve an answer.” Jin gritted out. What did he want to hear? Our heated argument made me late for the fir

Fiona’s POVI knew it was over the moment Lyn punched Jin. It was inevitable. Like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. Then it started—raw, ugly, and vicious. Lyn’s knuckles collided with Jin’s jaw, the crack of impact sending a shiver through the air. Jin retaliated immediately, slamming his elbow into Lyn’s ribs, his movements sharp and feral. A guttural roar erupted from Lyn as he tackled Jin, and the two hit the floor in a violent tangle of limbs. The sound of fists striking flesh was sickening, like dull meat being slapped against stone. Blood spattered onto the polished wooden stage as one of them—Lyn, I think—landed a solid punch that split Jin’s lip wide open.The auditorium erupted into chaos. Chairs screeched against the floor as people scrambled to move away from the escalating brawl. Some shouted, their voices indistinct in the cacophony, while others fumbled with their phones, their glowing screens capturing every savage second. The once-cozy glow of stage lights now

Fiona’s POV“Have you eaten yet?” Lyn asked. I started at his question then stared the brown packaged meal. I had forgotten about the food for a brief moment, too happy from seeing them. “Uh, no. Not yet. It’s not time for my lunch break yet. But thank you for this. It was very thoughtful of you, Lyn. I appreciate it.”Lyn smiled. “No worries. Happy to help.”Rowan gave another eye roll then slapped a palm over Lyn’s smiley face in a nasty face palm that made me grimace from the sickening sound. “Anyways, we’re are ready to order. I don’t know about him, but I’m starving my brains out!”Lyn successfully peeled Rowan’s fingers one after the other off his face then shot her a filthy look. “Must you always be rude and uncouth every single time?”Rowan blew him an air kiss and flashed him a bright smile. “You know you love me.”Lyn snorted in disgust then turned to me with an exasperated smile. He turned to me, “What do you recommend?” “For you I’ll recommend either the Rack of lamb wit

Fiona’s POV“Here’s the order for table 22.” A pasty faced, aggressive staff said sharply, sliding tray of food steaming hot.I automatically took the tray without thinking, marching out front when a thought flashed my mind. I turned to the aggressive older lady with an apologetic smile. “Could you please point at the table? I’m yet to—” but the rude cow had already walked off before I could finish.I stood the dazed by the lady’s blatant rudeness and disregard and was about loosing my temper when a younger male colleague replied, “It’s middle table by the left. You can’t miss it. You chatted with the customers briefly like you knew each other.”I blushed bashfully, “Ah, yes. Thank you… and no, I don’t know them that well.”He waved cheerily at me with friendly smile then vanished back to the kitchen.I turned away still smiling. The smile died a miserable death when I looked to see Jin watching me intently before tracking his eyes to the friendly waiter from earlier and a shot of fea

Fiona’s POVI felt rooted on the spot. Like thick green weeds had manifested from the floor and slowly yet persistently wrapped and tangled it’s thick roots around my legs, holding me in place and seeping poison into my body through my skin. Why did they have to be here? Why now? What do I do? I couldn’t beg someone to take my shift when it’s just my first day and I had just clocked in. It would be weird, not to mention unprofessional. Jin was the first to notice me. Genuine surprise and shock filtered his face as his eyes locked with mine silently before averting his eyes like I was invisible. Short of the surprise and shock which had vanished from his face, nothing else was there. It was just blank like a marble. Somehow Helena noticed something was off with her lover because she glanced at his blank face then turned to scour the restaurant with a possessive vicious gleam in her eyes which turned into a saccharine smile that was utterly vile on her lips.She whispered something

Fiona’s POVThe incessant beating of the alarm woke me up and I groggily patted around the soft cozy comfort of the bed until found my phone then turned it off before sitting up, yawning so wide my jaw threatened to snap. I took a look at my surroundings with a sleepy frown, waiting for the gears in my brain to get information before it dawned on me.I’m staying at Rowan’s house. Well, in the spare room to be precise which was a hundred times better than staying at Jin’s. Out of sheer exhaustion I had fallen asleep before my head touched the bed. Taking a look at the room I occupied, I noticed that Rowan’s parents were eccentric in nature.The entire room was an entanglement of mix-matched pieces of furniture and décor yet it brought this ambience of a cozy little haven that just made my heart flutter by mere looking at it.Rowan’s parents were incredibly cool and kind and didn’t make me feel unwelcome or left out. Their genuine kindness seemed almost ironical, but it wasn’t. It’s no

Fiona’s POVRowan, Lyn and I set out of Lyn’s car almost at the same time, slamming the doors closed in rapid successions. I heard Rowan release a low appreciative whistle as she stared at the massive mansion that was Jin’s home, The estate was sprawling, surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns that stretched out like a velvet green carpet. Tall wrought-iron gates, adorned with intricate gold filigree, stood as the entrance to the property, guarded by two stone lions that seemed to watch her every move. Beyond the gates, a circular driveway paved with polished cobblestones led to the mansion, where a sparkling fountain with cascading water stood at its center, its marble figures so intricately carved they seemed almost alive.Rowan let out a low appreciative whistle as she stared at the massive mansion that Jin called home. The mansion itself was a masterpiece of modern opulence, a blend of glass, steel, and white marble that gleamed even in the darkness of the evening. Floor-to-cei

Fiona’s POV“What do you mean you won’t be staying at Lyn’s anymore?” Rowan asked, eyes blown wide in shock, her mouth hanging open. “Lyn and I were just talking about when you would be ready to move in.”I speared a bit of salad with a fork and slid it into my mouth and began chewing then shrugged. “I changed my mind.”“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” Rowan muttered with mild disgust and irritation. She spared a glance at Lyn in front of her then shook her head and began muttering under her breath. Lyn seemed to have recovered from his initial shock, watched me intently with a hardened expression. “What made you change your mind last minute? It was Kai, wasn’t it? What did that bastard say to you?”I quietly set down the form I held to look at him squarely in the eye, plastering a thin, cutting smile for good measure. “Well we wouldn’t have been stuck in thus mess if you hadn’t blabbed to Jin’s mother, now would we? If anyone’s to blame, it’s you. I agreed to your suggestion w

Fiona’s POV“Where the hell have you been? I texted you the moment I got to school and you swore you were on your way.” I snapped, glaring daggers at Lyn who had sense enough to look ashamed. “I’m sorry. I got held up. And honestly I was afraid of meeting you face to face. Have you seen your face when you’re angry? It’s fucking scary, man.” He murmured, shifting away from me in a show of fear to prove my point. “Excuse me?!” I spluttered in disbelief. “Are shitting me? Have you seen yourself? If I’m scary, then what does that make you?”Lyn balanced his chin on one hand and put on his best shirt-eating grin. “I’d go for fuckable, charming and ridiculously hot.”“Ew, cringe.” Rowan muttered thickly with disgust. “Narcissistic pig is what you are.” I retorted at the same Rowan said hers. Lyn seemed unbothered by our vivjd6shiw of disgust and shrugged. “What can I say. I’m an acquired taste. It’s not my fault you both are blinded by it.”Rowan and I rolled our eyes so fucking hard it
The Fourfold Desires Chapter 58
Fiona’s POVThe white ceiling in the tiny yet cozy space of my room stared balefully at me as we fell into a silent staring contest to see who would win. The ceiling did. With a tired sigh, I flipped to my side and faced the window outside holding back the darkness of the night at bay, and thought of nothing in particular. I couldn’t sleep. The small discreet nocturnal sounds drones on in a remote distance played in tandem to the slow but steady beating of my heart. I couldn’t sleep. My gaze locked on my luggage tucked in a tidy little corner of my room and I flipped to the cool side of my bed, groaning in frustration at the stripped mattress chaffed harshly at my skin. I couldn’t sleep and my insomniac brain kept on drilling sleeplessness into my body, keeping my eyes peeled back and staring into the dark nothingness. It was too late to leave the house by the time I had finished packing my luggage and bawling my eyes out until they were swollen and red from silent tears. I had w

Fiona’s POVThump. Thump. That was the sound of my heart pounding in slow motion. The walls of the room seemed to be closing in on me. I couldn’t breathe. It felt like I was trapped, drowning underwater with a heavy ball chain tethered at my ankles. I was helpless against the onslaught of emotions bombarding me: despair, dread, anger, anxiety, fear and panic—each worse than the last. How could Lyn do this to me? We had a mutual, silent agreement to keep this a secret. What was the essence of exchanging numbers if he was going to notify the Luna afterwards? What the hell was wrong with him? What the fuck I’m I going to do in this situation. Fuck, this was messed up. I messed up thinking I could trust him. I was so angry at myself and at Lyn for putting me in this extremely horrid situation. I couldn’t even bring myself to look at Jin. No, I don’t think I would have bore the emotions I would see there. I couldn’t even look at his mother. I couldn’t stomach the snide sneers and icy s
