Quadruplet Alphas And Their Lost Ice Princess
Chapter 73

Natala (Emerald) POV:

My head was pounding. I could hear the thumps of paws on the floors, but my body was not alerting me of any danger as the sound grew louder and louder. It was probably mates and brothers coming towards me because of the horrific scream I let out.

My head felt like it was getting hammered at when suddenly I felt my eyes burn as well, which had me shut them tight in hopes of the sensation to fade. When I closed my eyes, I felt I was taken away from my body, flashes of the dark storm pack, Hannah and Luca fighting, while Leah was dragged away as she clutched her stomach. Wolves could be seen fighting everywhere; the quad’s parents were also there, along with the warriors. I tried calling out to Leah, but it was like my sound went on deaf ears. I wasn’t even able to move from my spot as if my feet were cemented to the spot. Before I could get another word out, the scene changed, and now I was standing in the supreme diamond pack, the same disaster, wolves fighting one another as limbs were being thrown from bodies; Da and daddy were amidst the warriors also fighting. The pain increased in my head, making me clutch it again and close my eyes as I bent down, holding my skull, a scream leaving my mouth. When I heard everything around me go pin-drop silent, despite the pain surging through my head, I opened my eyes and saw Edward staring right at me with a malicious smile as he slowly walked to me. A glint of craziness shone in his eyes, stopping when he stood right in front of me with hardly any gap between us; he moved his index finger down my cheek and whispered.

“Got you.”

I couldn’t move or speak, just stare into the eyes of my deranged uncle. I knew this wasn’t real. What was happening? Why were the scenes changing in front of me? Was this my premonition powers coming to play that Da had told me about? A sinking feeling enveloped me at the thought of something happening to my friends back home and the ensuing fights. Just as I was about to try to push my deranged uncle and try to wake myself from this weird state I was in. Another surging pain ripped through my skull that had me clutching it again and closing my eyes. But this time, the pain hardly lasted, and when I slowly opened my eyes, I was staring into the concerned eyes of my mates as Azreal cradled my body in a fetal position to his chest.

“Love love! Oh, thank the goddess! Are you alright?” Azreal rasped out, his eyes frantic as he stared down at me.

“Luna, are you okay? What happened? Your emotions were all over the place. Are you hurt?” Said Ezekiel.

“Did those bastard hurt you? The group of rogues?” Asked Sam, his fist fisted as he shook with anger.

I could feel how parched my throat was without even opening my mouth. I just shook my head towards Sam. I didn’t need my mates blowing a fuse right now; there bigger things that needed our attention.

“I’m fine.” I rasped out with difficulty.

“I’m fine.” I rasped out with difficulty.

I felt drained of all my energy, both physically and mentally. Seeing my exhausted state, my mate’s frown deepened more—concern growing in their eyes.

“Are you sure, angel? Maybe we should take you to the pack infirmary to get checked.” Said Zeke. He rubbed his palm on my cheek.

The tingles from the bond slowed down my erratic heartbeat, calming me. A small smile played on my lips as Ezeakil and Sam held either of my hands. Encompassed in my mate’s scent and touches were doing wonders to my exhausted state. I could feel the energy I had lost was slowly coming back.

“Little wolf, are you alright.” I heard Hayden ask.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw him and the rest coming towards me in nothing but a pair of basketball shorts. Their bodies ridged and eyes hard as all my brother’s stares didn’t waver from mine for a second. Well, damn it! I was in for it! Even though the quads were concerned for me, I could feel their anger through the bond for my irrational thinking of leaving them behind. Today was definitely not going to be my day. I was sure I would not even hear the end of it from Da and Daddy once they got to know. There was doubt in my mind that my dumb brothers had already informed them. Maybe mom and auntie would take my side, the chances seemed low, but a girl could hope.

“What is wrong with you, Natala.” Isaiah seethed, letting go of my nickname and using my real name. Yup! They were ragging bulls at the moment: pissed as hell.

His black eyes gazed down at me as his aura rolled out, which had me whimper due to my exhausted state. The action made Azreal clutch me harder to his chest and stand up as my other three mates stood in front of me, shielding me from the view of my brothers as they viscously snarled back at them.

“Supreme alpha or not, you don’t get to f*****g talk to our mate like that, Isaiah.” Said Ezekiel, his hand fisted to the side.

“Are you f*****g stupid or what? She willingly ran towards danger when she was newly shifted and had no control or knowledge of how a Lycan spirit works.” Seethed Isaiah.

I could see from the gaps between my mates that my other brothers stood behind Isaiah in unison, eyes black in anger; they all agreed with him, but hell if that didn’t piss me off. I wasn’t a stupid little girl that was unaware of our ways and the creature we were. I wouldn’t have approached the threat if I knew I couldn’t handle it, and it wasn’t like I was about to take on a group of intruders on my own.

“She is all then more capable of handling situations. She wouldn’t do anything to put herself in danger, and my brothers and I weren’t that far behind her. We would never let her risk her life at something we knew she couldn’t do.” Said Ezekiel, chest to chest with Isaiah at this point.

“You do not tell us what is right or wrong regarding our sister. Mates or not, do not forget your place, alpha. You may have the same aura as us now, but we are still your leaders.” Isaiah hissed out.

“You do not tell us what is right or wrong regarding our sister. Mates or not, do not forget your place, alpha. You may have the same aura as us now, but we are still your leaders.” Isaiah hissed out.

Both their auras were rolling out, hitting me harder, and the little strength I had regained due to my mates was diminishing. They needed to stop, or I would pass out. Anger towards my brothers started to ignite in me. My brothers treated me like a fragile doll who didn’t know what she was doing. What did they expect? I had two dominant spirits in my head. They wouldn’t cower away when they felt a threat was near. Plus, I didn’t particularly appreciate how Isaiah treated Ezeakil; what the hell was his problem? They were acting as if I was severely injured. My mate’s emotions hitting me of being humiliated was the last nail in the coffin. I tugged on Azreal’s arm, indicating to let me down. Even though he seemed reluctant, he listened but held onto my waist. Seeing me being put down, Ezeakil broke his staring contest with Isaiah and came next to me along with my other two mates.

“Little luna, are you okay? Why did you get down? We can tell how tired you are.” Said Ezekiel as he cupped my face in his hand.

My hand clutched his right hand that was on my cheek, smiling at him and kissing his hand. I nodded at him and moved back from his hold, stepping closer to my brothers.

Seeing me come closer, all my brothers tried coming forward, but I put my hand out to stop them, making them halt in their steps. Their eyes never waver from mine. I took a deep breath and said, making sure to look at each of my brothers, so they knew what I was about to say was meant for them all.

“Do not, and I mean it, do not ever talk to my mates like that. Brothers or not, I do not give you the permission to do that with my mates, the other part of my soul. Hurting them is hurting me. So when next time you say something to them, remember your also saying it to me.” I said, my face void of emotions.

Before I could see the emotions in my brother’s eyes, I turned around and went near my mates for them to pick me up; I was exhausted to walk on my own. Sam scooped me up immediately as they made their way towards the packhouse.

“Oh, and one more thing…” I started that had my mates stopping and Sam turning towards my brothers so I could say what I wanted.

“You may think I’m weak and unable to take care of myself, but don’t forget the same b***d that runs through you all runs through me. I’m as strong as you even if I’m incapacitated at the moment. So next time; think before you doubt me or my capabilities.” I said
