Asael.

“No!” I breathed softly, shaking my head, unwilling to accept the shocking news.

It was false.

It had to be.

As much as I tried to maintain my cold demeanor, acting like an unbothered son of a bitch, I couldn't help but feel a hollow lodged in my heart.

I couldn't explain the hurt that spread within me, making my heart ache.

My soft breaths didn't help to stop my heart from pounding.

I tried to tighten my jaws, struggling not to let my emotions reflect on my face, but I was losing it.

Why was I feeling this way?

I barely knew her. She doesn't mean anything to me.

I treated her like trash to remind them how worthless she was to me, yet I was losing my sanity the moment her death was mentioned.

This strange feeling was hard to explain.

“She can't be dead,” Alaric refused, shaking his head as we headed to the slave quarters.

“You,” we summoned a slave.

“Alpha,” she gasped, pinning her eyes on the floor as her head was slightly bowed.

“Where is Azalea?” Alar

    Chapter 24AzaraMy eyes bulged, almost jumping off their sockets, as disbelief hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't shocked that I was dead. I knew the moment my heart stopped beating. I was shocked that I'd been dead for one month! The news hit me like a lightning bolt, leaving me disoriented.My mouth flew open as I tried to express my feelings, but words failed me. Her words were the only thing ringing in my head continuously. How was that possible? My head began to spin as several questions arose in me, leaving me with an ache spreading over to my forehead region. I cocked my head in the direction of the strange girl whose smile grew wider, furrowing my brows in confusion.“Don't say that Tatiana, you will only scare the poor girl.” My eyes trailed the origin of the second voice until they landed on an unfamiliar woman, who looked like an older version of the girl grinning beside me from ear to ear. Judging from their appearance, I could tell that the older woman was Tat

    Chapter 25Azara“What?!”Disbelief hit me like a tidal wave, crashing hard over me as it left me breathless. I couldn't believe my ears. Alpha Asael was my saviour? The same person who hated me and treated me like trash, always reminding me of my place and always taking sides with his perfect Luna, Giselle. “Are you sure it wasn't Alpha Arien?” I asked again, trying to erase my doubt. If there was anyone amongst the quadruplets that cared about me, then it would be Arien. But our last encounter at the court scared me. His judgment still rings in my head like a bell, reminding me of how terrifyingly he was. “I know the Alphas and I can differentiate Alpha Arien from Alpha Asael. After rescuing you, he wouldn't leave until my mum assured him that you were in safe hands. In fact, he comes to visit every night.” She added, making me gasp loud in disbelief. “I think he has a crush on you. I see the way he stares at you whenever I peek through the window.” Were my ears deceiving me

  • The Quadruplet Alphas' Slave Mate   Chapter 26

    Chapter 26AzaraTwo weeks flew by since my recovery. I was back to this Pack. Back to servitude, back to being collared, and back to being a slave, Giselle's object of frequent harassment and ridicule. Back to being Giselle's number one target and enemy. A familiar eerie sensation rushed down my spine whenever I remembered her deadly gaze on the day she was released. Avoiding her was a herculean task as I was stationed in her quarters, working closely with the other slaves. Whenever she was around, Tatiana, who was also one of the servants working in Giselle's quarters, would switch places with me, making sure I was as far away from her as possible. Everything went smoothly without Giselle noticing, but I knew one day my cover would blow and I would face the consequences of my actions. Several times, I begged Tatiana to allow me to perform my duties to Giselle without her interference, but she refused vehemently. She didn't fear punishment, even if it meant going down with me.

    Chapter 27AzaraThe more I delved further into the Alphas’ quarters, the higher my anxiety rose, almost overwhelming me with each step I took. My breath hitched, uneven as if the air grew heavier the closer I got. The eerie silence blanketed my skin with thick goosebumps as my heart hammered hard against my ribs. I halted for a few seconds, gathering the remaining confidence in me as I took a deep breath, swallowing hard. My moist palms rubbed against each other in anticipation and my tongue found its way to my chapped lips, licking them. With shaky hands, I carefully lifted the knobs to the double doors, parting them open. My heartbeat filled my ears as it grew louder each second and my knees turned jelly. Summoning courage, I dragged my wobbly legs into the hallway, smiling nervously at the guard before disappearing into a small room to get cleaning supplies. I was about to open one of the Alphas’ bedrooms when a pair of hands tapped my shoulder slightly. “The meeting room,”

    Chapter 28AzaraThe atmosphere was electric with tension as Atlas made his way towards me. His face was as hardened as a rock. I struggled to break through those impenetrable golden brown eyes that refused to betray any feeling. As usual, I failed. His face was a mask and his expression was flat. A knox of anxiety twisted in my stomach and my heart hammered against my ribs as if it was about to jump out. My breath came out ragged as guilt started to claw through my chest. I might not be able to decipher Atlas’ expression but I knew he was mad at me for putting my hands on his brother and ordering him. Orders deflate his ego. My heart flipped as I lowered my eyes in sadness. Why did I say those words? What came over me?Why did I let anger push me into daring my mates to reject me? What if they reject me?My breath hitched as I gasped in shock, the consequences of my actions pouring on me like rain. But then, I felt something snapped within me. It was enough!Enough of making

    Chapter 29Azara“Please be here, please be here,” I muttered repeatedly, digging through dirt, leaves, branches, and small bushes, searching frantically for the ring. It's been days, yet my ring hasn't been found. I swear by the Moon Goddess, I covered even beyond the area Giselle tossed the ring to, but all to no avail. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't eat. No day goes by without punishing myself for losing the treasure. I should have held onto it tighter. I shouldn't have stayed outside that night. I should have fought Giselle and Lucille with all my might, even if it meant revealing my identity in the process. As long as I didn't lose what I cherished in the world. Now everything is gone. Self-blame and tears of regret have become my companions. I didn't know how to live without them anymore. I was lost and utterly alone. I couldn't even assure myself that things would be alright anymore. I had lost the one thing that gave me peace amid raging storms. Not only was I careless

    Chapter 30Author's povAn enraged Giselle barged into her room, satisfaction coursing through her veins as she saw her personal slave on her knees, teeth gnashing in regret and face stained with tears that continuously streamed down her eyes like a fountain that never runs dry. Her terrifying aura sent her gluing herself to the wall as Giselle stormed to meet her, striking her severally with a letter belt, unconcerned where the belt hit. “You've been avoiding me like a plague,” she yelled, flogging her all over her body with anger. “I waited for you for weeks, yet no report.”With each word came heavy strikes, heavier than the former. The slave winced in pain, clasping her hands firmly on her mouth as she dared not make a sound or Giselle's fury would be unleashed. According to the records, no one has ever survived Giselle's full-blown fury. “You don't want to talk, right, I will make you talk!” “Please, Luna, have mercy,” she pleaded, shutting her eyes, unable to bear any more

Not one inch as I allowed the pull of matebond and his intoxicating scent consumed me until I was lost. Except this time, I never wanted to be found. Time stood still as we remained glued to each other, basking in euphoria as our eyes were shut in silence. His presence calmed me, filling me with a strange inner peace, like the quiet that remained after a raging storm. Nothing else mattered. Not the collar that settled on my neck like a heavy burden, not my shabby clothes, not the fact that I was a slave, and definitely not that my life was going upside down. I waited patiently, releasing a slow tensed breath as I could sense the arrival of his soft lips. The loud gritting of his teeth filled my ears as he pulled back, shutting his eyes and taking a deep breath to regain control of himself. I missed the

    Chapter 47Azara. Harsh rays from the scorching sun bit into every inch of my exposed skin. I heaved a sigh as beads of sweat trickled down my forehead. I bent slightly, squeezing the damp fabric before spreading it on the hanger, repeating the process for all the washed clothes. My back ached as I worked in silence, enduring the intense heat that generated a pool of sweat, soaking my dress and matting my hair. I paused briefly, taking a deep breath as I swallowed. My lips were dry and my throat burned in thirst. Heaving a sad sigh, my eyes traveled in the direction of the quarters. I groaned inwardly, calculating the long distance in my head. If only I could have a glass of cold water to quench my thirst. At the same time, I didn't want to leave my chores halfway. My eyes lit up in joy as a slave crossed my path holding onto a small flask. Walking to meet her, I tapped her shoulders slightly, forcing a nervous smile in greeting. “Hi, is that water?” I asked, licking my dry l

I sighed in relief as Tatiana's image made its way to my bed, her breath coming out as short pants. “Have you been running?” I asked, adjusting slightly on the bed, placing my palm on my jaws to have a better view of her. Despite the darkness enveloping the room, my vision was sharper, allowing me to see her worried face, flushed cheeks, and tousled hair. “Yes, I had to get here quick before the quarterMasters saw me,” she replied through her teeth, lowering her voice as she sat beside me. “You took so long in your cell. What happened?” She paused, staring at me with blank eyes before forcing a breathless chuckle. “I…never mind. It's sorted.”My brows furrowed in concern as I placed my hand gently on her shoulder, pulling close to her. My fingers reached her chin as I tilted my head, sinking my eyes in her brown ones. “Are you okay? You've been acting strange since morning, keep

    Chapter 45AzaraPanic surged through Tatiana like lava at the thought that she might be kidnapped. Muffled screams tore through her lips as she wiggled violently, struggling to be free from her abductors grasp. But the more she wiggled, the tighter the grip. Tears spilled from her eyes as the thought of Azalea popped up in her head. Her dear friend. She might have lied to Azalea about changing her pajamas, but in truth, she was terrified the reaction of the wolfsbane would be severe by midnight and she wanted to steal some of her mother's herbs- an extremely rare plant that could reverse the effect of wolfsbane if used immediately. The hand wrapped around her eyes dropped, giving her time to adjust her focus in the dark. A familiar feminine voice hushed, silencing her before she let out a scream. When she was calm, the pair of hands around her loosened. Her face fell as Giselle and Lucille’s figure towered over her. She clenched her jaw, suppressing the anger that rose beneat

She felt her world slowly crumble as the feeling of losing Azalea the second time hit her hard like a tidal wave. The thought that she was present during the planning of her execution would forever haunt her. She couldn't handle it. “If I'm not mistaken before you play superhero and try to warn her, Azalea would have drunk from the cup. In less than a few seconds, the poison would take effect in her system, causing a major shut down and right before your eyes, you will watch her die.Her chest clenched tightly as Giselle's horrible words flowed into her head, filling her with intense pain. The feeling of betrayal would haunt her forever. Bursting into tears, she ran to meet Azalea whose face was twisted in confusion. Her head tilted back as she glared at Tatiana like she had seen a ghost.

    Chapter 43Author's povThe atmosphere shifted and the air grew eerily cold the moment Tatiana walked into Giselle's large room. The loud silence made her quiver in fear. She clasped her hands nervously, rubbing her sweaty palms together as her heart picked at the usual rate. Her insides shook in fear as Giselle and Lucille’s deadly eyes were fixated on her. The dark smirk on their faces quickened her pulse. She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her they were planning something sinister. Something evil. Something like destruction. The stench of death loomed over the room, sending shocking chills down her spine. Her instinct snapped at her, yelling at her to run without looking back, but she knew it was impossible. Giselle would have her head on a plate for disobedience. She could swear that whatever destructive plans Giselle and Lucille were cooking involved her. The confirmation lurked in their eyes. By the Moon Goddess, she didn't want to be a part. She was willing to trade eve

    Chapter 42Author's povGiselle seethed in anger and frustration as she paced about her room, her hands firmly on her hips as she was deep in thought. The bitter taste of humiliation from Alpha Alaric burnt down her throat. She couldn't believe he hurled those demeaning words at her like she was a nobody in the presence of several slaves.Of all slaves…Azalea.The other slaves feared her, but after Alaric barked commands at her and scolded her openly, she was certain that Azalea gloated over it. To make matters worse, she had the unwavering support of Atlas and Alaric. Giselle slowed down her pace as tension brewed in her eyes. The door opened to reveal Lucille, her expression mirroring that of Giselle's. “She's winning, she has Alaric and Atlas on her side. How long before she charms Arien and Asael?” Giselle lamented, her voice dripping with deadly venom. Lucille shook her head vehemently, a blend of sadness and rage spreading over her. “She is a witch. She put a spell on the

Not the burning ache and not the pain in my neck. My body trembled unconsciously as I clasped my thighs firmly over his hand. He stopped, releasing a deep breath as he pulled his hands away from my thighs, gritting his teeth and swallowing hard. “I better get going. I don't think I can control…myself,” he breathed, fixing those alluring stormy grey eyes on my needy ones. At once, I grabbed his hand, pulling it towards me before dropping it on my waist. “Then don't go.” I didn't know when those words slipped out of my mouth. “What?” He paused, his dilated pupils glowing in disbelief. “You don't possibly know what you are asking–”My finger dropped on his lips and as if under a spell, the rest of his words were shoved back.

Every step he took came with a great force that vibrated throughout the ground like a mini earthquake. My heart somersaulted the moment his eyes flashed bright red. I stumbled backwards, my breath caught in my throat as goosebumps spread throughout my skin like wildfire. Fear gripped my heart as I watched him walk away; his fist clenched by his sides and his shoulders stiff. The heat from his anger radiated around him, mixing in the air as he moved like a predator, ready to pounce on its prey.
