Quadruplet Alphas And Their Lost Ice Princess
Chapter 42

Thursday

Emerald’s POV:

“Rise and shine, buttercup.” I heard someone say from on top of me.

Judging by the lack of weight and muscle, I knew it was a girl, but I didn’t know who it was. Hannah wasn’t this nice as to politely ask me to wake up. No, that drainage she-wolf would full-on jump on me till I was out of bed.

As much as I was curious, I was exhausted from yesterday and the events that happened last night when I came home.

*Flashback starts*

“I hope you had fun, my angel.” Said, Zeke

“The best time ever. Thank you so much. You and the rest have been amazing these past few days, and it just feels so surreal,” I whispered, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear.

I felt Zeke gently take hold of my chin, lifting my face as his other hand went to my cheek, his thumb slowly rubbing across it; sparks that used to be specks more potent now danced where our skin touched. He looked deep into my eyes as if trying to find something hidden.

I hope he could see the feeling I harboured for all the quads. I knew I had feelings for all the quads. I had finally admitted that but was still scared to say it aloud. Was it love? Or was it something else? I didn’t want to ruin everything we built but blurting out misconvinced feelings. I wanted to tell them when I’d know without a doubt in my heart that what I felt right now was indeed love, the same love that shined like the brightest star in the quad’s eyes.

Leaning in, his lips landed on mine, taking my lower l*p between his juicy ones; we slowly let them tangle; he nipped on my l*p to ask for entry which I happily gave. Not once was he in a hurry; he kissed me thoroughly and passionately, his tongue stroking mine from time to time as he rubbed my cheek with his thumb. Finally letting us up for air, he joined our foreheads as he closed his eyes.

I couldn’t help but admire him.

Goddess, he was breathtaking; all of them were! I was truly lucky.

“I’m glad you enjoyed my angel, and as much as I would love to keep you here with me all night, the rest are blowing up the mind link for you.” Said Zeke, giving me one last peck before getting down from the car and rounding to help me down.

I giggled, coming down the car and holding his hand.

“Sucks! I am glad I don’t have to deal with you all going alpha male on me in the mind link. I can’t mindlink you directly until you do.” I said, heaving a sigh of relief; that would be like a non-stop radio with how the quads are, wanting to know everything happening around me.

I heard Zeke let out an evil chuckle.

Huh? What was that about?

“Oh, my sweet, sweet angel. Once you’ve connected with your wolf, and she recognizes us as her mates. You and the rest of us will have the clearest link. So get ready.” Said Zeke.

I stopped, looking up with wide eyes.

Well crap! No one ever mentioned that.

Before I could say something, Zeke’s eyes glazed over; he was getting a mindlink from someone. It was almost midnight. Who could that be?

I saw him tense and ball his fists. What happened?

Instinctively I reached for his fists, rubbing circles on the back side of his hands in the hope of calming him down. I had noticed over the days that my touch helped calm them down. Especially when they nuzzled into my neck, taking in my scent, I wondered if their scent would also have that calming effect on me after Saturday? As soon as his eyes returned to the stunning grey, he looked down at me; his eyes held confusion and was that a hint of fear I saw?

“Angel, um, Ezeakil wants us to go to his office. The Lycan kings want to have a word with you?” Said, Zeke

The kings? What did they want? I had totally forgotten about them and the twins, putting their non-existent drama in the farthest corner of my head. What was weirder was that there was lingering tension, but they had never called me out to talk to me or had the twins.

What could they want now and at this time?

Zeke grabbed my hand and led me into the packhouse and up the stairwell to the sixth floor, where all the quads had their offices. As soon as we reached the floor, you could feel the power radiating in the air, it had me slightly stiffen for a fleeting second, but I was quick to recover; however, from the corner of my eye, I could see Zeke was struggling. Not wanting him to see that I noticed his struggle, I diverted my eyes to the ground. I had yet to understand why I could withstand the threshold of the twin’s and triplets’ aura.

Walking ahead, we knocked on the door, and a dominant come-in voice came from inside. Taking a deep breath, we opened the door and went in. Walking in, I saw the rest of the quads scattered around the room with arms across their chest, clearly unhappy about something, but seeing me enter, a smile tugged on their faces. They all came towards me, giving me either forehead or cheek k****s. When they finally let me go and stood around me in a protective stance, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes in my head.

Dumb alphas and their possessive natures!

The twins sat in front of the desk, while King Tristan sat in Ezeakil’s chain behind the desk, and King Lucas and Hayden stood behind him with their arms folded across their chest, five sets of eyes locked on me.

“A pleasure as always, Emerald.” Said, King Tristan.

I saw the quads stiffen around me when King Tristan greeted me without my title. I could feel the anger rolling off the quads as they neared me. I was shocked. Nonetheless, they had never called me by my name; it was always Luna. Hayden was the only triplet who said he’d call me by my name, but I had yet to meet him after that one time.

I saw the triplets smirk at the quad’s reaction as if they found it amusing; the twins sailed the same boat.

I bowed a bit to my kings and supreme alphas and said.

“The pleasure is always mine, king Hayden.”

“Looks like you can easily tell us apart now.” Said, King Lucas.

I nodded. What was this about?

“Anyhow, we know it’s late, and you have just returned; we don’t wish to take much of your time. We would like to speak to you regarding a matter.” Said, King Hayden.

Not seeing that I had much of an option, I nodded, giving them all my attention.

“Alphas if you’d please. We would like to talk to her in private.” Said, King Tristan.

The quads stiffened and circled me around them, giving out a low growl.

Were they freaking out of their minds? They were challenging our kings, and not any kings, lycan kings.

I thought I would see the triplets fume with anger, but instead, they all chuckled and just relaxed in their spots.

“Is that a challenge alphas?” Said, King Tristan.

I stiffened!

What the heck were they doing? Why weren’t they moving? I heard one of the triplets sigh and the chair creak. Jumping, I exctricted myself from the quads and came in front of them.

“Hey, it’s fine! I’ll just talk to their highnesses and meet you back in the room.” I said.

They went to open their mouths, but I cut them off.

“Please, for me,” I said, pleading with my eyes.

Jaws tight and fists balled, they all nodded and left. Leaving me with the twins and triplets.

Sighing, I took a deep breath, turning around to face the elephant; well, I guess lycans in the room. Looking up, I saw the twins and triplets look at me with confusion, and it was that hope I could see? I stayed quiet, lost in their eyes. It wasn’t awkward, but it felt safe. Like, my body knew they wouldn’t hurt. Instead, they protect me, all five of them.

Finally getting up, King Tristan came towards me, his aura rushing out like a tidal wave. He was doing it on purpose, but why? When he reached me and stood a few steps away from me, looking right at me, mumbling something under the lines that it wasn’t possible that he checked.

Impossible? Check? Check what?

I was broken out of thought when I felt not one but four more powerful auras rushing coming at me; at this point, I staggered back a bit but not with fright but with surprise; taking only a few seconds to regain my composure, I stood straight and looked back at the twins and triplets who were a mere few feet away from me now.

To say they were shocked would be an understatement. To say I was baffled was an understatement. Could this mean we were related? Could they be my family? The moment I opened my mouth to ask, King Lucas spoke.

“We will be accompanying you on your shift Friday night, Emerald.” Said, King Lucas.

Saying that they all backed up, ultimately making me forget the question at hand if we were related.

They would accompany me? Why?

*Flashback Ends*

“Oh, goddess fatass Emerald get up! Otherwise, you’ll be late for your date with your Alpha boo.” Said the person from on top of me.

I heard some huff and felt someone tug my blanket.

Ugh!

Opening my eyes and sitting up, I find the culprit that wouldn’t let me sleep in peace; there were two: Ela and Leah.

As much as I was happy to see them but did they have to wake me up? It was only nine in the morning. However, the words stopped in my mouth when I turned to the clock and saw it was two p.m. In the afternoon.

Holy goddess, I was late for my date with Sam!
