Quadruplet Alphas And Their Lost Ice Princess
Chapter 71

Natala (Emerald) POV:

Pain, excruciating pain, that’s all I felt. Like lava running through my veins as I felt my bones break and repair over and over again. My senses went black, then came back to life, the same thing happening over and over again. I vaguely remember hearing Da and the triplet’s voices to take me under the moonlight. At first, I only felt my mates around me, but now I could sense other presences around me. My sense of smell was muffled, but I could vaguely pick out a few, with my mate’s scents as the strongest. It was probably my family, but hell, if I didn’t want to scream at them, this wasn’t a damn show, and I didn’t need them hovering around me. Everything hurt so much. No one had prepared me for this pain. I had honestly thought it would be like when I shifted into my wolf with just a little more pain, but that seemed like a walk in the park with how my bones were bending and twisting inside me. This shouldn’t have been this painful; Lycans are evolved forms of wolves. I was already a wolf; shouldn’t it be like a tweak of an adjustment? I felt my ball and socket joint snap in my shoulder, which made me scream.

“Make it stop, please make it stop.” I cried.

I felt tingles on my skin as one of my mates held my face in his chest. My senses were so muffled due to the pain that I couldn’t tell which brother it was.

Ezekiel POV:

My heart broke for my luna as I cradled her face in my chest. My brothers flanked me, gazing down at our life as she withered in pain, as we did nothing to help her. The marking had taken a toll on us, and we all slumped dead once our bodies touched the bed. Never once did anyone of us think her shift would happen tonight. I couldn’t help but blame myself and my brothers. Was it because of the marking that she was shifting? We knew she was to shift, but no one had told her the extent of it, scared to make her more scared than she already was. Which, in my idea, was the stupidest thing one could do; we should’ve prepared her what to expect, at least not hide it from her. My luna was strong, and her family needed to believe in her!

Lycan shifting was one of the most painful shifts a person could go through. Where wolves stood on four legs and grew only a few more inches than their human heights, Lycans stood on two legs and grew way more in height. The transformation was brutal. Some hadn’t even made it through the shift and would die. That thought alone had scared the s**t out of us all, but when my little luna was distracted, her parents and the triplets explained that wouldn’t be the case with her because of the strong bloodline and that she had already shifted into her wolf.

“You all need to back up and give her space; you’re suffocating her.” One of the triplets snarled at us.

My brothers and I snarled back, our newfound aura slipping out of us. It didn’t do anything to the triplets, but it allowed us to ignore the command and stand head-on with them. Seeing this, the triplets were pissed as f**k but f**k if I cared at this moment.

Azreal POV:

How dare the triplets tell us to back off from our mate when she was in so much pain? Didn’t their dumbasses know that our touch would help? Of course, they knew they were just being dipshits. As much as I wanted to call them out, I couldn’t; they were our kings, our leaders and more importantly, my love’s older brothers. She would no doubt blow a fuse if she found out we fought with them, and making my love sad was never going to be on my agenda. I only prospered to make her smile which I was epically failing at right now, as she let out another scream in Ezeakil’s chest. Her bones had broken and realigned multiple times by now. You could see how they were slowly growing.

“Boys, now isn’t the time; Ezekiel is right; Natala needs her mates more than us right now.” Said my love’s mom: Danielle. As tears poured down her face as her mate held her tight in his arms.

You could see the agony in the supreme alphas’ eyes, not only in his but everyone’s eyes, her brothers, the former king and even her aunt. It was like they were living the pain with her. We weren’t far off either, now that we had fully bonded, her pain was hitting us too, not in the way it was her, but we knew what she was going through.

“Your so strong, my love, so strong,” I whispered in my love’s ear as I removed the hair stuck to her forehead due to the sweat.

Please, goddess, make it stop.

Zeke POV:

My angel tears were hitting my heart like silver daggers. It had only been twenty minutes, but never once did her screams die down. They only grew more louder as the pain she felt increased. She had finally gotten through the first phase of her bones rearranging; they were slowly growing, meaning she was going into phase two now. As her Lycan side was coming out, it was getting harder for Ezeakil to hold onto her. Eventually, letting go, but we all stayed close. All of us stroked her naked, sweated-coated body in hopes of the mate bond reducing some of the pain.

“Why isn’t the shift completed by now? You said she was strong!” I said.

“Her wolf and Lycan are probably fighting for dominance in her head. She is the only wolf-Lycan hybrid to exist. The two souls would compete for hierarchy.” I heard Isaiah say.

F**k! That was why I could’ve sworn she was shifting into her wolf for a second. She had two of the most powerful bloodlines running in her veins. Of course, both species would compete; it was in their alpha nature. So not only was my angel suffering physically, she was probably caged in her head with both her Lycan and wolf spirit fighting one another.

Goddess! Please just make it end already.

Sam POV:

The thought of my baby going through physical and emotional pain as both her wolf and Lycan fought for dominance was killing me.

“Stop” my baby screamed out as fur started to sprout and then receed in her body.

Her scream made all of us jump back at the same time, a powerful aura surging out of her that only made us waver for a second but her family as well, including the triplets. f**k! She was powerful. If her aura alone could make us wavier when she wasn’t entirely in control, she would be capable of destruction nonetheless when she was in control.

“There has to be a way. This could kill her.” I said, going back to my baby and stroking her back.

I saw her family tensed form, fear in all their eyes. They weren’t so sure anymore either if she would make it out of this alive. I was about to give them a piece of my mind when I heard the former king speak up.

“Re-mark her! It’ll subdue her wolf,” he said, then looked at the twins and triplets and said

“When they re-mark her, roll out your aura to the max and then Tristan command her Lycan to shift.” he finished.

“Are you out of your f*****g mind! A forced shift is the most painful thing anyone could go through.” Liam snarled as he shoved his brother.

“You rather watch her go through this without knowing what would be the outcome.” Snarled the former king.

Before Liam could get a word out, my baby’s mom spoke up.

“Will it make it sop? Will my baby girl be fine?” She said as her sister Michelle held onto her. Tears poured out of both their eyes.

The former king nodded. Michelle turned to us and said.

“Do it! My pup doesn’t need to go through this.”

We looked between each other and nodded, then looked at my baby’s brothers; they all looked disturbed. No doubt a forced shift was worse than being gouged in wolfsbane, but it only lasted a few seconds. They looked at my baby’s withering body, then looked back at us and nodded.

I leaned down near my baby’s ear and whispered.

“We’ll make it stop, baby. Just forgive us for the pain.” I said and kissed her forehead.

My canines dropped from my gums, as did my brothers, and we bit into my baby’s neck, remarking her. She let out a scream and then went limp for a second.

“NOW” the former king yelled.

We were hit with both the twin’s and triplets’ entire aura. The same aura that would’ve dropped us to our knees was only like a twitch now as we stood through it. But what came next had mine and my brothers churn; I felt the pain that my baby did.

“AHHHHHH” my baby screamed.

Her body was violently shaking, her back arched as if she was possessed, fur sprouted everywhere, and her limbs grew longer and longer. My baby Lycan’s had come out in ten seconds, hunched over on the ground as it panted heavily. Her brothers dropped their auras as we slowly approached my baby. She had shaken us off when she shifted. Her fur was the same as her wolf, white with an icy blue hue, and when she lifted her head and locked eyes with us. We were stunned, the deepest blue we had ever seen, and they were glowing. Slowly standing, my baby was well over six feet as large as our wolves, if not taller. She was beautiful, her aura calling to us. Her mere sight had us dropping to our knees. Never once did I see such an exquisite creature.

“Goddess! She’s beautiful,” I heard one of her family members say.

My baby turned towards her family, a purr leaving her chest as she gazed at them, then looked back at us, and then sprinted into the woods. Not even a second later, multiple bone popping could be heard. My brothers and I, along with her brothers, were all in our wolf and Lycan forms as we howled to the moon and went to chase our mate. She had challenged not one but nine alpha males.

Game on, baby!
