Quadruplet Alphas And Their Lost Ice Princess
Chapter 58

Natala (Emerald) POV:

“Mom, dad.” I squealed as I launched myself into my adoptive parent’s arms!

It had been over two hours since the party started, and I hadn’t seen mom and dad yet. I was starting to get worried that they wouldn’t make it. I didn’t want to leave for Supreme Diamond Pack without meeting them; I wasn’t sure how long we would stay there, so I didn’t want to risk it. They both caught me and chuckled. Mom let me go and held me by the shoulders, a little away from herself, looking at me from top to bottom. You could see the love shining in both their eyes.

“Look at you, sweetheart; I don’t remember seeing you this happy.” Said mom, tears brimming in her eyes.

Dad nodded at my mom’s word in acknowledgment as he smiled at me. I couldn’t help but hug her again in a tight grip.

“I am mom; I am, so much that I can’t even describe. Thank you, mom, dad, thank you for everything. For being there when I needed someone, raising me as your own, loving me, everything, just everything. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t probably be able to see this day.” I said as I sniffed.

I could feel mom tears wet my shoulder, but I didn’t care; as I said, I may have found my mates and biological family, but my adoptive parents will always be my parents; they raised me to be the woman I am, stood by me, clothed and fed me. For that, I will always be their baby emerald.

“There’s so much I have to tell you guys, but I don’t know where to start,” I said, sniffling as I moved out of her arms and looked at them.

Instead of inquisitive looks, I got big smiles, eyes shining with happiness for me. Huh?

“We know, sweetheart, we know. The triplet kings and the supreme alphas have already talked to us. That’s why we were late coming down to the party even though we were here way ahead of time.” Said, dad.

I looked at them a little shocked, so that was where my brothers were. I hadn’t seen them at the party since me, and the quads had come down. I knew they hadn’t left since we were all supposed to head out to the twin’s pack together once the party was over. So I thought they were busy with the logistics of all that.

“We’re so happy for you, sweetheart. Your dad and I knew how much you wanted to know about your biological family. Just don’t forget about us now.” Said mom, laughing at the last part, but I could tell she was afraid.

Never mom, never!

I smiled at her, held both her and dad’s hands in each of mine, and looked at them.

“Mom, I may have found a whole family with brothers, parents, aunts and all that good stuff but do not, and I mean it, do not think that will ever change anything. YOU GUYS ARE my mom and dad and forever will be no matter what.” I said, hoping they could read the honesty in my eyes.

Both of them smiled at me with tears in their eyes and hugged me tighter as I hugged them back. All of us only letting go when he heard a throat clearing behind us. Turning around, I see my mates and brothers standing behind us with smiles plastered on their faces. It was rare to see all these alpha males and the top of the lot show emotions, but all of them did when they were around me, which only showed how much they all loved me, just like I loved them all. I smiled at all of them and went to hug each brother. I didn’t know what they had talked about with mom and dad, but with the way, mom and dad were so relaxed and readily accepting of the situation, I knew my brothers must have said something right. They all knew how much mom and dad meant to me.

“We would like to thank you again, Mr. and Mrs. Hutton, for rasing our little Natala when we all had given up and thought she was, she was.. well, you know.” Said Tristan, guilt flashing in his eye as he said the last part. I squeezed his hand in reassurance and smiled at him that it was okay.

Whatever had happened had happened, we couldn’t change back time. Everything had a reason why it happened. Maybe if Edward hadn’t left me by the pack broader, I wouldn’t have met my mate; who knows. But all I knew was that no one needed to feel guilty about anything; the past was the past and should stay there.

“Your highness, as we said, Natala was our daughter and will always remain our daughter. Whatever we did is what any parent would do for their child.” Said dad, looking at me with a small smile.

I went and kissed his cheek.

“Of course, Mr.Hutton, and for that, we will always be in your debt. Please do take into consideration what we talked about. I’m sure Natala would want the same.” Said Hayden.

In debt? Holy molly of everything, holy! For our king, one of the triplet brothers, to say that to an ordinary werewolf family like ours was life-changing; what couldn’t mom and dad achieve if they wanted, all they had to do was ask the triplets, and it would be done. Goddess!

Mom and dad smiled, bowed their head in submission to their kings and alpha supremes, and said.

“And like we said earlier, your highness, we only want our sweetheart’s happiness. No riches, whether it be in precious stones or becoming leader of a pack, could measure up to seeing the smile our little girl has on today.” Said, dad.

My head shot up to my brothers! They offered my parents a chance to rule a pack that would’ve made them Alpha and Luna, and they gave that up! All for my happiness, I couldn’t help but look at mom and dad with ten more times of respect and love. We weren’t rich. We were one of the few poorer families in the pack, but we never cared about all that because we had each other. They could’ve had it all if they wanted, but they still turned it down, just asking for my happiness in return.

Goddess! What good deed did I do to deserve such amazing people in my life? My brothers nodded in understanding and told them to consider their request still. They bid my parents goodbye and told them their parents would be in touch as they would want to meet the people who had brought up their little girl to become the amazing woman she was. I couldn’t help but blush at my brother’s comment; they were so extra sometimes, but I secretly loved it!

“Come, little luna; it’s time to cut the cake. Then we have to be off. The later it gets, the more dangerous it gets to travel at night.” Said Ezekiel, wrapping his arm around my waist.

I nodded and looked at mom and dad, asking them to come. They both smiled.

“Go on, sweetheart, we’re right behind you,” Said mom.

Before we could turn around and walk to the table, dad stopped us, looked at my mates, and said.

“Take care of her alphas. Treat her like the queen she is!” Said, dad.

I could see all my mates give my parents a small smile when they all spoke simultaneously.

“Always,” they said.

My dad smiled and bowed his neck in submission to his alphas; kissing my parents on the cheek, I was ushered to a round table in the middle of the ballroom. Where a giant eight-tier cake stood, with white icing and a vine of colourful flowers running from top to bottom, it was beautiful but oddly fimilar; when something hit, I remembered once showing Hannah a picture of a cake like this; looking at her, I saw her giving me a wink, and I smiled. This was her doing; I mouthed a thank you and went to cut the cake. I was surrounded by friends, my mates, parents, brothers and the quad’s parents. Looking around, I felt content, all that was left were my biological parents and reaming family, and soon they would be here as well.

After cutting the cake and another round where everyone sang happy birthday, the party was slowly dying down. The invited she-wolves weren’t fond of staying and left the first chance they got, I had received more glares than ever before from them, but I didn’t care. They could be jealous all they wanted; I was done putting up with them, I was their Luna, and they had to suck it up. I had full intentions of putting anyone in their place if they decided to pick on me again; I wouldn’t let what happened with those three she-wolves in the pack dining room happen again to me. I was a princess, majestic wolf and their Luna; they needed to know that I wasn’t the same meek pushover little girl anymore.

“Call us daily, and text us if you can’t.” Said Ela as she hugged me.

We had to head out, so the quads and my brothers wanted me to meet everyone so we could get a move on towards the twin’s pack. I had already said my goodbyes to my parents; the quad’s parents and my guy friends, just Ela, Hannah, and Leah, were left now.

“I will! Stay out of trouble,” I said to her; she just smiled and winked. I shook my head. Trouble and Ela went hand in hand.

“If you need anything, and I mean it, Nat, anything, you call me.” Said Leah, as she came forth and hugged me and gave me a big smile pulling back.

“I will, and you take care of my little niece/nephew. I can’t wait to play with him or her. Congratulations once again. I know you’ll make a great mom; you were born for this.” I said; I saw her blush and nod.

After being marked by the quads, all my feeling regarding Leah and Eli were like they never existed; even the littlest animosity I held deep down was gone, and I couldn’t help but compliment them as a couple. I was ecstatic for their baby!

“Well, don’t worry about wee old me over here, not like I’m your best friend and sister-in-law.” Said Hannah dramatically from the side.

I couldn’t help but chuckle and roll my eyes at her. Letting go of Leah, I went towards Hannah and hugged her.

“Be careful out there, Nat. And, come back soon; the packhouse will be boring without you.” She said.

I knew she was scared of Edward popping up again, but she didn’t need to worry. I was planning on telling the quads and my brothers about him before we left. We were travelling late into the night, I didn’t want to risk it, plus I’ve held it back long enough.

“Don’t worry; I’m going to tell them tonight. Take care and stay out of trouble with Luca.” I said, winking at her.

She just chuckled and let me go but not before reminding me about the plan I had for the quads that had me blushing beet red. I scowled at her as she laughed out loud. After another round of hugs and goodbyes, I was off to my room to get dressed for the journey and pack a small bag just in case I needed something on the way.

Jumping into the shower, I quickly washed off the sweat from the day and dried myself. Deciding on a pair of black tights and hoodies, I threw them on and paired them with a pair of black Balenciaga sock shoes I found on the shelf. My outfit, making my silvery wet hair and blue eyes stand out more in contrast to the all-black. I decided against any makeup and, leaving my hair down my back for it to dry, I left the bathroom and came face to face with my brothers and mates as expected. I had mind-linked them to meet in here before I started my shower.

“Everything okay little wolf? Your mates said you wanted to tell us about something important.” Said, Lucas

I nodded and gestured for them to sit, which I knew was no point because they would all be blowing their heads off when I told them about Edward.

I stood in front of all of them, taking a big breath and praying to the goddess that they wouldn’t go all alpha, king or supreme alpha on my bum. I opened my mouth and began.

“The person that lured me into the forest was actually our uncle Edward…” before I could finish the sentence, nine growls resonated around the room, the packhouse shook, and dust came off the ceilings. I saw nine sets of eyes looking at me, nostrils flared, and fist clenched.

Well s**t!
