Quadruplet Alphas And Their Lost Ice Princess
Chapter 67

Natala (Emerald) POV:

After everyone untangled themselves from the massive family hug, I saw my mates slowly inching closer to me, which had me chuckling. I walked out of Hayden’s arms that were rested on my shoulder and went towards my mates, much to his dismay. They used to be all fine and dandy with one another, but once they realized I was their sister, it was like the twins and triplets literally turned their faces towards the quads, treating them like the enemy. Holidays wouldn’t be fun if they all kept this up; I would eventually collapse with the testosterone overload from all these alpha males around me. Hopefully, daddy and Da don’t give my mates a hard time. However, the saying the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree wasn’t a common saying in these situations for nothing. The moment daddy and Da saw me going towards my mates, they stiffened and had their leader stone cold faces on. Goddess! Like five brothers weren’t enough, add two dads to the mix as well now. I mentally smacked my face when I saw both of them sizing up my mates, which I could tell was annoying the quadruplets, but they didn’t say anything and bowed to their supreme alpha and former king.

Aww! They were so cute! They knew how much my family meant to me and were bringing on their best manners! I smiled at each of my mates and ushered them close to mommy and aunt Michelle.

“So mommy, auntie, these are my…” before I could finish the sentence, mommy spoke up.

“Your mates. The famous quadruplet alphas: the strongest alphas in the multiverse. The goddess did well, little pup. Playtime must be intense,” Mommy said, whispering the last part in my ear and giving me a wink, which had me blush a little.

The goddess definitely did do well. She paired me with not one but four Adonises who definitely knew how to please a woman thoroughly and otherwise emotionally.

“Yeah, um, so this is Ezeakil, the eldest, Azreal, the second eldest, then Zeke and Sam, the younger two,” I said as I held each quad’s hand as I introduced them.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, supreme Luna and former luna queen.” Said Ezekiel as he went near mommy, holding his hand out but instead of taking his hand in his, she slapped it away, and she and aunt Michelle engulfed him in a hug. Ezekiel froze for a bit and awkwardly patted their backs. I couldn’t help but chuckle at his uneasiness.

“Please, we’re family now, son; drop the titles.” Said, mommy.

I saw Ezeakil’s l*p twitch; a small smile played on his lips as he nodded and made way for Azreal. Instead of holding out his hand, he hugged both mommy and auntie gently, stroking their backs as he laid down his charm like a thick layer of butter. Complementing how they looked like my sisters rather than mother and aunt. I heard my brothers and dad scoff at the comment, which had me chuckling. After Azreal moved aside, Zeke came forward.

“Well, as my angel said, I’m Zeke, short for Zaqeil and might I add, now I know where my angel gets the good genes from,” Said Zeke, winking at mommy and auntie, which had them laughing and punching his arms.

I heard daddy and Da snarl, and I stifled a chuckle. The littlest thing my mates did had them and my brothers blowing their heads off.

“Well, now we see why everyone wants to be on the quadruplet alpha’s good side. They have a way with their words.” Said auntie, making my mates chuckle.

Zeke hugged mommy and auntie, then moved back for Sam to come forward. I held my breath; Sam was the cheekiest of the lot. I was sure he would say or do something to make his mark. Feeling my gaze on him, he smirked and winked at me. Then he went towards mommy and auntie; instead of hugging them, he held each of their hands, kissing the back and winking at them, making them blush a little from the extra attention of the youngest quad.

“I’m Samael, the youngest and your soon-to-be favourite son-in-law.” He said.

That made both mom and auntie laugh out, and I choked on my saliva, son-in-law? When the heck did marriage come into the picture, and I hadn’t even marked them yet. Which had my insides churn; unintentionally, my gaze went towards Da and daddy’s neck; they both bared their mate’s mark, whereas my mate’s necks were bare. The thought didn’t sit right with me. Knowing how she-wolves threw themselves at them and being the strongest and wealthiest alphas made them even more alluring. Us, she-wolves, were naturally driven towards power; it was our instinct. I didn’t need the added drama. I was going to mark them, and I was going to do it tonight. Hopefully, our room wasn’t close to my parent’s or brothers’ rooms because that would be awkward as hell. I was broken out of my marking plans when I felt someone shaking me. Looking up, I saw Hayden’s concerned gaze on me.

“Is everything okay little wolf? You seemed lost.” Hayden asked.

Everyone was looking at me now; I shuffled on my legs and meeked out a lame excuse about school, which had my wolf chuckling at my stupidity.

“Like we were saying, my little pup. Your mates are adorable! Your lucky to have found them.” Said, mommy.

I smiled and nodded. I looked at each of my mates, who were already looking at me with the utmost gentleness and love. Before I could open my mouth to say something. Tristan and Isaiah cut me off.

“More like they’re lucky to have her.” Said Tristan.

“Facts spewed, brother.” Said Isaiah as he and the rest of my brothers and my dads came and stood next to me.

Mommy and auntie both shook their heads and sighed. Sick of the twin’s and triplets’ unwanted remarks. Before daddy or any of the brothers could say anything else, they were cut off by mommy’s and auntie’s glares and low snarls, which had them all paling and shutting up. I chuckled. It looks like mommy and auntie were secretly the bosses in the relationship. Mommy and auntie then led us all towards the private alpha lounge, where we all sat, talked for a bit, and had some snacks since no one was hungry enough for lunch. When we were all seated, me between my mates, mommy and daddy in one love seat, Da and auntie Michele in the other and my brothers scattered around the area, you could feel the tense atmosphere coming in. Since we arrived, no one had mentioned Edward or the lingering threat on my life. Still, the tension was so thick now that a knife could cut it. I knew my parents and auntie knew about Edward, and whatever had happened. Lucas and Josiah had told me that everyone in the pack was informed due to security concerns. Daddy heaved a sigh and was the first one to break the silence.

“Darling, I’m not going to beat around the bush since the matter at hand isn’t something to be taken lightly. But before we tell you everything regarding Edward and what the oracle had mentioned about you and your abilities as one of the three hybrids to exist. We just want you to know that we truly believed that you were…de.. not with us anymore. Even though your mom kept on contradicting it, we didn’t believe her, and for that, even if I now die protecting you, it wouldn’t be enough. I failed you as a father, and I truly am sorry.” Said, daddy.

His words hit me hard. I didn’t want anyone dying, and I knew it wasn’t his or anyone else fault. The forensics was solid proof to confirm my death. Not believing that at the time would probably have delved them into more mental health issues. It was better to think I was dead than torment themselves, which I was sure mommy had done. I untangled myself from my mates and went and crouched down in front of daddy where he sat and grabbed both his hands and smiled at him as he stared at me with guilt in his eyes. I squeezed his hands and smiled.

“Daddy, I need you to stop blaming yourself, and so does everyone else, and I swear if I hear someone apologize one more time, I’ll get upset,” I said, looking at him and then at everyone else in the room.

They all sighed and nodded even though I knew it wouldn’t be like I wanted. It would probably take a while for things to settle down, and the guilt and apologies stopped. I just hope it was sooner rather than later. I went and sat back between my mates, Azreal and Zeke, interlacing our fingers. Daddy cleared his throat and spoke up.

“Your brothers have already told you about the diversity war, Edwards’s involvement and relationship to all of us and you and how this complicated relationship between you and all of us came to be. Just know that he has to be defeated; I can’t even believe that sick bastard is my brother; even if you’re not related by b***d, how f*****g dare he think he could mate with you.” Daddy snarled the last part.

The last part also made my brother, Da and my mates growl—Azreal and Zeke’s hold tightening as if I would disappear any moment.

“But why? Yeah, I’m one of the so-called three hybrids to exist but to be honest, since I’ve shifted, I haven’t seen anything special or different about me.” I said. Truly confused. Yeah, maybe I am fast and strong, but nothing out of the ordinary. Edward was exaggerating my abilities for sure.

I saw my parents and auntie sigh. Mommy’s eyes glistened with tears, but she sniffed them back and then looked at me.

“If only it were that, my beautiful girl, but it’s way more than that which, unfortunately, that deranged bastard knows. The oracle had written down her vision, which was stored in the archive, but that was the only file not accounted for during the attack.” Mommy said.

I stared at her waiting to continue since Tristan had already filled me in about that part. She sighed and started speaking again.

“Natala, you have both supreme alpha b***d and the royal Lycan b***d in your veins. This means not only do you have a wolf, but you’ll also have a lycan, which will make her presence known very soon. Once you’ve marked your mates, they will have both bloodlines flowing in them, making them supreme linages and royal lineages, making them immune to all commands and giving them almost the same strength as your brothers.” Said, mommy.

My mouth literally dropped open, and so did the quads. What in the name of flying monkeys? I was about to get a lycan as well! How was that even supposed to go I already had my wolf. Did that mean I could shift into both wolf and lycan? And, my mates would become lineages, which meant if anything ever happened to the twins or triplets and they had no heir. Our new leaders would be my mates. Talk about dropping the bomb. We were all speechless. Before I could open my mouth to ask question, Da cut me off.

“That’s not all, sweetheart. Another reason and the biggest one, why Edward wants you is because of your abilities. Not only can you shift into both Lycan and wolf, and your mate would be considered next to the throne in the absence of your brothers, but you have the ability of intuition, meaning once mastered, you’ll be able to tell what someone is planning just by touching them or being in their close proximity.” Said Da.

This time even my brothers looked shocked. My already gaping mouth was getting bigger. No way! Nah-uh! They were wrong. This wasn’t possible. They were wrong.

“Nah-uh, you’re wrong. If that was the case, why haven’t I been able to see anything, and how can you say I can shift into a Lycan? That’s impossible. I’m a wolf.” I said quickly, denying to believe that the goddess could bless me with such a power.

I knew they weren’t lying, but it was just so hard to digest! How much my family and I suffered these abilities was more like a curse than a blessing.

“I know it’s hard to believe, darling, but it’s true. You just came of age; your Lycan will surface in the next day or two, and once she surfaces, so will your abilities. Though they must’ve started making some experience, you probably haven’t noticed.” Said, daddy.

It made me think back to when I suspected something wrong was to happen, like that attack, and it did. Realization hit me when I thought back to my feelings for my friends and adopted parents Dark Strom. I paled.
