Quadruplet Alphas And Their Lost Ice Princess
Chapter 90

Natala (Emerald) POV:

“The best way out is the trap door, but the problem is I don’t know if the guards are down in the dungeon. When you were down there, master had the prisoners removed, and from what I know, the cells are empty down there, but I have to double-check about the guards.” Said Rayla

We had been here for almost an hour, and to my surprise, Edward had not come back to fetch me. Apparently, Rayla had mentioned there was a problem at the border. Even though we were on forbidden lands, the lands still technically belonged to the twins, making them alpha of them and us trespassers. Rayla also mentioned that Khole had also put a cloaking spell around the packhouse, so anyone passing by would see the abandoned mansion, not the hell hole we were forced to live in.

“But how are you going to tell us? Nat is locked in her room and me in this dungeon; that psychopath doesn’t let you come near either of us. I think he’s even on to us; why would he leave us here for this long all alone.” Said, Leah

You could tell Leah was more scared for her unborn pup than herself; I wasn’t far from that feeling either. All I cared about was escaping somehow without hurting my pups. I would never forgive myself if something ever happened to them.

“I’ll find a way, but from what I know, your mates are on a war path. Hopefully, they’ll be here sooner rather than later. As for Edward, I think so, too; he wouldn’t let Natala alone for this long. But I have a plan. All you two need to do is be ready when I come to fetch you guys from your rooms,” Said Rayla.

The thought of our mates getting closer slowed my erratic heartbeat, but the thought of Edward finding out and drugging me had taken away all the relief I felt when I heard my mates and brothers were on their way. I couldn’t afford to piss Edward off tonight. I’d be defenceless if he drugged me and gave me the potion.

“Hey, hey! Calm down! He isn’t going to drug you today; the vampire venom and toxic herbs he gives you are supposed to paralyze you waist down. He would essentially be wasting the potion, and they only have one vile.” Rayla said when she must’ve seen the panic on my face

Her words made me realize something. Edward probably planned this to make me think he was being nice by not drugging me, while he had never planned to drug me at all today all along. The guy was a narcissist!

Just as I was about to share my assumption with the girls, something hit me, and I turned to Rayla.

“Rayla, they have a block up on my mind disconnecting me from my lycan and wolf, Trisha. Could you take it down so I can fight him off? I’m way stronger than him; my aura alone would be enough to have him cower.” I said, realizing how stupid I was for not asking her for this before.

However, my smile faded when I saw Rayla give me a sad smile and my shoulder a reassuring squeeze.

“Even if I could, Natala, I couldn’t risk you like that since I don’t know how to control my magic for something so strong. You see, I’ve been on these lands for years; they may not be harmful now since the radiations are gone, but I grew up here, and with that came side effects. My magic isn’t as strong; it’s weak, and with the surroundings, all corrupted with dark magic, also make my light magic weaker.” Rayla said as she sniffed.

My heart broke for her. Goddess! What else had those wretched people done to such a beautiful soul? I grabbed Rayla’s hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. The moment our eyes locked, I hugged her, telling her everything would be okay and that I was going to get her out of here.

“You got this! We’re almost there! We’re gonna get out of her; Edward and that pig face Khole will pay for what they have done to all of us, I promise you.” I said

She sniffed and nodded on my shoulders. After composing herself, she got out of my arms, giving me a genuine smile as she put both her hands on the sides of my head.

“Ray..” before I could finish, she cut me off.

“Shush! I can’t break the barrier, but I can crack it. The rest is up to you and your spirit animals. I’m sorry, if I could do more, you wouldn’t even have to ask, and I would’ve done it the first day you got here.” Said Rayla, as I heard her chant something in Latin.

My mind went blank; I left a wall vibrating in my head when suddenly it cracked, and I was thrown out of my head, my eyes snapping open as I saw b***d coming out of Rayla’s nose as she sat on the ground on her hand and knees. I quickly shuffled out of my spot, going to her and helping her up.

“Goddess! Are you okay? You’re bleeding.” I said as I wiped her b***d with a napkin I found nearby

“I’m fine. You’re strong, Natala, one of the three hybrids meaning your mind is not something easy to infiltrate. I tried my best to crack the barrier as much as I could. The rest is up to you now.” Said Rayla

Before I could tell her she had done more than enough, Edward walked in and raised an eyebrow at the scene he saw.

“Well, what happened over here? I was gone for not even an hour, and you guys are already starting catfights.” He said, chuckling at his lame joke.

When he saw our bored expressions, his face became serious as he walked toward us and laid his hand out for me to take. I wanted to slap it away, but I had to keep my cool. We had to leave somehow and me getting beaten or worse, locked up somewhere was not on the agenda right now.

“No matter! The little b***h must have deserved it nonetheless. I don’t get why Khole even keeps you around…” Edward sneered at Rayla before turning to me, “…come my darling. I have something really important to talk to you about.” He said.

It took everything in me not to punch the a*****e in the face for what he had said to Rayla. I saw how she flinched at his words but kept her eyes downcast, listening to the crap he spewed at her! As much as I didn’t want to take his hand and leave Leah and Rayla alone, I knew I had to. I had to find a way to get Edward busy until Rayla came and fetched me from my room so we could break out. I just hoped that whatever she was planning would work out.

“I’ll go with you but could Rayla please stay with Leah? She’s pregnant and going into depression, being locked up in this room. Any more, and the pup could get hurt.” I asked Edward.

I knew Leah was fine; she was a tough cookie mentally and physically, but if Leah and Rayla were together, escaping would be quicker, and Rayla would only need to fetch one person rather than two from different parts of the house, which could lead us to get caught with one wrong move.

Edward stared at me for a second, trying to see if I was playing him, but I kept my face neutral, begging him with my eyes while stealing glances at Leah and Rayla. He grabbed my chin, making me face him, and said

“What’s going on in that little head of yours, darling, because I assure you is if it’s something I don’t approve of, you won’t like the consequences.” He said.

The malicious look in his eye did scare me, but I couldn’t get scared now. It was rather I get scared and forever lose my bond with my mates or women up and escape with the girls.

“No, I swear it’s nothing. I just want her and the pup to be safe.” I said, making sure I made eye contact

He searched my eyes for a second before nodding.

“For you darling, anything. Since you’ve been so good, I’ll let the little b***h stay with your friend. Now come along.” Said Edward as he pecked my forehead.

The area burned where his lips touched. His touch seemed unpure and dark, and I knew he knew that too, but the psychopath didn’t care. Putting my hand in his, he started leading me out. Just as we were out of the door and Edward couldn’t see, I looked back at Rayla and Leah, and they mouthed to be safe, and they’ll be there soon. These words calmed my erratic heart as Edward led me toward his room. With each step we took towards his room, my thoughts were getting the best of me. Just as we reached his room, I saw Khole standing there with a smug smile on her face. Edward didn’t give her any attention, instead opening his door, leading me in, and helping me sit on the bed as he stood in front of me intimidatingly with his arms over his chest. I saw Khole leaning against the door behind him, with a smirk on her face as she twirled a vile in her fingers. The vile caught my eye, and I swore my heart dipped as my eyes frantically met Edwards, who also had a smirk on his face now.

“It’s time, darling, to make you mine.” He said

His words ignited something in me; my head started pounding, and with every second that passed, as Khole walked closer in our direction, my headache got worse; not caring about anything, I fell to the floor and clutched my head and closed my eyes. Edwards and Khole’s voices faded into the background as I left like my brain was being spilt open until I heard the one voice I had craved to hear.

“I’m here, Natala. Don’t worry; our mates are coming. Just hold on a little longer.” Trisha’s voice filtered in my head.

Tears of joy came to my eyes. I still couldn’t feel my Lycan and could not fully feel Trisha either, but she was here, and that was all that mattered. I moved my fingers, I felt my supernatural power flow through my veins as I tried getting up, but before I could punch Khole so she could drop the vile, her voice rang out.

“Stop, her wolf broke through,” She screeched. ‘

I lunged towards her, clawing her in the face, not caring about the element of surprise anymore. I felt my claws dig into her face just as Edward ripped me back and threw me on the bed. The moment he caged my hands above my head, I headbutted him. A sickly crack was heard, and b***d poured out of his nose, giving me a second to knee him in the balls, which had him leave my arms and clutch his family jewels. I made a run for the door; I knew I couldn’t fight them off yet; I just needed to stall them till my Lycan and Trisha could fully break free, then my aura could help subdue them till me Rayla and Leah escaped. However, the moment I was only a step away from the door, I was thrown backward against the wall by a gust of wind. Just as I tried to get up, I felt stuck to the wall. None of my limbs worked, even with the force I used to make them work. I looked around frantically, only to lock eyes with a pissed-off witch and psychopath stalking towards me. Before I would get a word out, Edward slapped me back to back twice, making my ears ring and l*p split open.

“You had to ruin it! Didn’t you, you little b***h. I thought you were getting better, but you gave me a whole new reason to show you what it truly means to be a submissive wolf.” Edward said as he choked me.

Tears blurred my eyes as his hold got stronger, making me open my mouth to breathe as much air as possible. I didn’t even realize when and how; Khole shoved the vile in Edward’s hand as he popped open the cap with his teeth, giving me a sadistic smile. I closed my mouth instantly, tears ran down my cheeks, and I shook my head as best as I could.

“Bottoms up, darling.” Said Edward, his hold on my throat increasing, forcing me to open my mouth

He shoved the vile contents down my throat just as I was about to spit it out. He let go of my throat and put a hand on my mouth, sealing it.

“Drink it, or I swear I’ll punch you so hard in the stomach that those discriminations of pups you’re carrying in your womb will bleed out like the worthless mutts they are.” Said, Edward

His words stunned me; I stopped struggling immediately as I looked at him in horror.

“Oh, you think I didn’t know? Khole here just found out not to long ago and told me. You see, darling, I was waiting for the right time to attack; I was letting you have a moment of happiness thinking you won. But that’s just it; you will never win, Natala. You are mine; the only pups you would ever carry would be ours. Now, I suggest you drink if you don’t want to bleed out here and now.” Hissed Edward.

My mind went blank! I couldn’t think or move, my mind going to my unborn pups, who had nothing to do with all of this. Tears brimmed my eyes as I swallowed the potion. My life was nothing compared to that of my pups. I would happily live the rest of my life unhappy if it meant they got to live. Seeing me swallow, Edward grinned as he patted my hair as if I was an obedient pet of his.

“It’ll take an hour to work. Lock her up, and we’ll do the spell. The sooner, the better, so I can get the hell out of this dump.” Said Khole

Just as Edward was bout to say something the alarm blared in the packhouse, eight of the most menacing growls I had ever heard rang in the air, which would have had anyone’s hair stand in fear, but tears of happiness gathered in my eyes.

Seeing my reaction Edward hissed, slapping me again before dropping me on the floor once Khole ran out of the room, releasing me from her spell.

“No need to be happy, darling. The potion is already running through your system; you won’t be connected to those mutts for long.” Said Edward.

He threw me back on the bed, but before I could get up, he injected me with the same venom he had been for two days, making my body freeze up and fall paralyzed to the bed.

“Rest up, darling! Once I’m done with this inconvenience, it’ll be our mating night.” Said Edward before he ran out of the door.

Not even bothering to close it as if taunting me to try and escape. Tears sprung in my eyes as I prayed to the goddess to keep my pups, mates and brothers safe.
