Quadruplet Alphas And Their Lost Ice Princess
Chapter 84

Natala (Emerald) POV:

My heart squeezed in horror.

“Aw, you don’t look so good, Luna; everything okay?” Cassandra Said in a sickly sweet voice, taunting me with a sadistic grin on her face.

She had a knife right against Leah’s stomach. Leah’s hands were tied with silver chains at the back; I could practically hear her skin burning even though I knew my wolf and Lycan were suppressed.

“You know Edward wanted just one, but we thought more the merrier. After all, we owe you so much.” I heard another voice come from the side.

I recently let my eyes move away from Leah’s frightened ones to see Aria holding a knife to Ela’s throat as tears fell down her eyes. A soaked cloth was shoved in both Ela’s and Leah’s mouths to stop any sounds from coming out. Tears burned in my eyes before I could lunge toward the demented she-wolves. I heard another voice from the other side that had me whip my head in the direction.

“You know, for someone as pathetic as yourself, I never figured out why the quads adore you so much. Well, no biggie, you’ll be long gone, and we’ll be there to keep them company.” Said Ivy

I didn’t care about what she said; I could only see Hannah’s bruised body and her tied-up hands behind her back with silver chains on the floor as Ivy pressed her shoe into her back. I didn’t know which way to go; they were all my friends. I was scared if I attacked one, the other two would hurt the ones they held onto. I tried calling my wolf and lycan, but as much as I concentrated, all I felt was hollow space.

Where were my mates, Luca and my brothers? Goddess!

I could only think of distracting them until someone came for help.

“You guys are crazy to think you can get away with hurting everyone, especially me; my brothers will kill you. Not only that, you’ll face trial for assaulting a royal.” I said

“Um, b***h did you forget you’re a homeless b***h that our pack took pity on? Where the f**k did you get any brothers.” Said Aria.

“Aw, poor Emerald thinks she’s a princess. Well, sorry to break it to you darling, you ain’t a princess, just a dirty w***e who got us in trouble being the pathetic crying little she-wolf and stole our men.” Said Cassandra.

I was shocked that they didn’t know of my new identity, and their calling me Emerald made me believe that I was hundred percent sure of the thought. I doubt they would do all this if they knew I was related to the twins and triplets. However, that was the last of my worries. How freaking dare they say I stole their men when they weren’t even theirs, to begin with. They were the whores trying to take away someone that never belonged to them.

“They were never yours!” I said, gritting my teeth

They should be happy that I didn’t have my wolf and lycan with me, or I would’ve taught them a lesson.

I thought they would get angry or even try to hurt Ela, Leah or Hannah, but to my surprise, they all just laughed as if they had lost their minds. What was with everyone and their weird psychotic laughing sprees today?

“Well, if they weren’t, they will be now. You see, we aren’t crazy to walk into the lion’s den without having a goal in mind. That weirdo Edward wants you as a mate. With how hot he is, I don’t get why he would want someone as useless as you, but not our concern, with you gone; Khole will cast a spell on the quads, making them believe that we are the best options to be co-lunas. More like a love spell, you can say,” Said, Cassandra.

Were they dumb or just plain stupid? Everyone knew love magic did not exist, soul bonding did, but for that, both parties had to be willing. I wasn’t even sure that bond breaking existed, but I knew for a fact there was black magic for bond suppressing magic. Edward’s words rushed back to me, what he said earlier in my head. I shivered. No, it couldn’t be; the quads would never agree to mate with these three low lives. They would rather pluck their eyes out. Before I could call them out on their stupidity, I heard another voice, a voice I knew too well that brought nothing but disgust and anger to my body.

“Well, I can’t say I didn’t tell you, darling. Now with everything in front of you, what will your choice be? Are you going to come willingly, or do I need the three lovely ladies to start cutting up some limbs?” Said Edward, his sadistic grin plastered on his disgusting face.

I had no clue how he had gotten in. He wasn’t here a second ago, but the question was answered when I saw the same woman I did in the vision I had seen in the dungeons standing behind Edward. Our eyes locked, and she gave me a smirk and winked at me.

“The resemblance is uncanny! You’re a replica of Michelle. Khole’s the name, by the way.” Said Khole

“Time’s ticking, darling what will it be?” Said Edward.

I couldn’t let them hurt Leah, Ela and Hannah, but I knew if I went with them, my family and mates would go crazy. I wasn’t sure if they would be able to find me, especially since Khole was working with Edward. The guilt and sadness that would surge through them was something I didn’t want them to go through. But all I could see right now was the fear that lingered in Hannah, Ela and Leah’s eyes; the smell of burning flesh wafting up my nose had my heart churning. They didn’t deserve this! My best bet was to stall them. Hopefully, someone would come to our rescue once they realize it was a set-up. But before I could get a word out, I heard a b***d-curdling scream, my head whipped in Hannah’s direction as I saw Ivy stab her in the shoulder.

“No, stop,” I screamed, rushing out of bed to get to Hannah; suddenly, a gush of wind smashed at me, and I flew back, hitting the wall and sliding down it. Ignoring the pain in my back, I tried getting up, but I was hit again by the wind making me fall back down. Looking up, I saw Khole’s smirk as she waved her hands around and mumbled something, all movement in my arm gone as if I was paralyzed. The wench was using magic; my struggle was cut short when I heard another scream and saw Ela being stabbed this time. Tears ran down my cheeks.

“Please stop! They didn’t do anything.” I screamed.

Where were my mates, my brothers? Where were Luca and Eli? Could they not feel their mate’s pain?

“Their fate is in your hands, darling; come willingly, and I’ll have them stop. I really don’t wish to cause the three girls any harm, especially the one carrying an unborn pup. Still, you’re making it really hard.” Said Edward as he came and bent down next to me and stroked my cheeks.

I moved my head the other way, not wanting this psychopath to touch me. I heard him sigh, then grip my chin in a harsh grip, making me look in Leah’s direction. I saw Cassandra plunge a dagger into Leah’s arm, then take it out, aiming for her stomach.

“NO, NO, STOP! I’ll come, I’ll come just, please don’t hurt them. Let them go, and I’ll come willingly.” I cried out.

“Stop,” Edward said.

Cassandra grunted unhappily but listened and pushed Leah to the floor.

“See, that wasn’t so hard! All of this could’ve been avoided.” Said Edward as he gave me a smile; his eyes twinkled with insanity

I spat in his face, not caring about the outcome! Before I could open my mouth to curse him, his heavy hand coiled with my cheek, slapping me. The impact had me seeing stars; I felt my l*p rip open as b***d trickled down. Tears blinded my vision. No, my life wasn’t worth four lives. I had to believe that my brother and mates would find me before Khole could do the spell.

“You’ll learn! Take this slap as a reminder I have no patience for disrespect, darling, and I won’t hesitate to use other means if you fall out of line once more.” Edward said as he squeezed my breast painfully, making me whimper in pain and disgust.

He lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder. My limbs were still paralyzed, as much as I tried to move them to try to get out of his grip. I couldn’t even feel the slightest sensation. I tried calling out my mates through the mind link, but all I got was static.

“Let my friends go! You said if I came, you wouldn’t hurt them.” I said

“Of course, darling, I’m a man of my word.” Said, Edward

When he turned towards Khole, I saw Ela, Hannah’s and Leah’s terrified eyes. They tried to break free from their captors, but I shook my head. If they pissed Khole or Edward off, I didn’t want to know what would happen. I gave them a small smile and mouthed them to get help. However, before I could mouth anything else, the words Edwards said had my b***d freeze.

“Take the pregnant one; you know what to do about the rest.” Said Edward to Khole

The smell of b***d and gurgling sounds were heard not even a second later. In a flick of her wrist, Khole had slashed Cassandra, Ivy’s and Aria’s throats. The rest of the girls and I watched in horror as they choked on their own b***d, falling dead on the floor.

“Dumb bitches! Did they really think there was such a thing as love magic? Here I thought this was a renowned pack.” Khole sneered, checking her nails like she didn’t, just kill three she-wolves in cold b***d.

“Enough with the chit-chat; get us out of here. I’m not in the mood to deal with those quadruplets and my nephews; from the sound of it, they are right outside the door.” Sneered Edward.

“I wouldn’t mind taking one of those twins. With hands like theirs, the wonders they could do to a woman’s body.” Said Khole.

So she wasn’t only a wench but a w***e. But that wasn’t my concern, they could take me, but I couldn’t let them take Leah.

“You promised to leave them alone. I’m going with you. Please let Leah go.” I begged

“Well, you see, I promised to let them live, and the three are living and breathing. The she-wolf is just a precaution to keep you in check, darling. Her life is in your hands. Be good; she’ll live. Rebel; she dies. I’ll ensure you’re there to watch it if it ever comes to that and promise you it’ll be a slow and painful death.” Said Edward, gripping my thigh tightly.

Just as I felt smoke gather around us, the doors fell to the floor. My mates and brothers rushed in; panic shone brightly in their eyes as they locked eyes with me, but they got to me a second too late as smoke completely engulfed us, blacking me out. The only thing I remember saying since I wasn’t sure if I would ever see my mates again was:

“I will always love you.”
