Emerald\u2019s POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Deep breaths Emerald, deep breaths!\u00a0<\/p>\n

They won\u2019t hurt you, they are your mates, even though they look bonkers by their faces, but they are still your potential mates, they\u2019re trying to woo you over, so you\u2019re good! After giving myself a little pep talk, I saw that I was surrounded by my four mates hovering over me, while Luca stood\u00a0<\/p>\n
behind Han, holding on to her shoulders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ugh!\u00a0<\/p>\n
They weren\u2019t supposed to find out like this, I didn\u2019t want them to think I was purposely hiding it. I would\u2019ve told them, but after I got their crazy possessive heads toned down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything you\u2019d like to tell us, sweetheart?\u201d asked Ezekiel while scowling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The other three were mirroring the same expression as their elder brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Huh!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBaby, you\u2019re OURS!\u201d said Sam.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys, I\u2019m sorry you had to find out like this. I wasn\u2019t\u2026,\u201d but Zeke spoke up before I could even\u00a0<\/p>\n
finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, from the way you and Hannah were talking, it sounded like you didn\u2019t want us to find out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What the fudge!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why are they acting like I\u2019ve committed some felony or something? I had every intention of telling them, I was waiting for the right moment. I couldn\u2019t sit here and let them accuse me of something\u00a0<\/p>\n
that wasn\u2019t true.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWas this the newly mated wolf in your group of friends you met back at the academy, love? Because as much as you tried to hide the glances you were taking of his mark, it was obvious,\u201d said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Azrael with rage in his eyes, of course calling me out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWHAT!\u201d roared the other three quads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell us?\u201d Ezekiel asked Azrael.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIs that why you had a new mated wolf scent on you?\u201d asked Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Paints\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to Zeke\u2019s question, all my mates roared, snatched me up, and sank their noses into either my neck or hair, probably trying to calm their wolves down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow dare that pup touch what is ours! And you little Luna, why did you let him touch you?\u201d asked Ezekiel, black\u2013eyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Okay! Wait, hold up!\u00a0<\/p>\n
My ex\u2013boyfriend, who is mated and also my friend, gave me a friendly hug, which I wasn\u2019t even in favour of, and they\u2019ve lost their heads. While I know that Azrael, Zeke, and Sam had girlfriends, and reeked of she\u2013wolves scent when they so gladly claimed me as their mate, without even giving me a choice. Hypocritical much!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard the omega staff talk about their so\u2013called flavours of the month, how they so gladly f****d them in either their man\u2013cave or when the omegas use to pass by their rooms, they could hear groans and moans coming from inside. But Goddess forbid I had a boyfriend, and he hugged me, like I did something so unforgivable that they had to act like this. Hannah spoke up before I could lash out at them, clearly annoyed with their hypocrisy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the f**k, guys! You can\u2019t stand here and accuse her of something so stupid. Elijah was our friend way before they dated\u2026,\u201d the moment the word \u2018dated\u2018 came out of Hannah\u2019s mouth, my mates let out a warning growl. Which didn\u2019t seem to deviate Hannah one bit. I could also see Luca trying to calm down his mate \u201c\u2026Oh, don\u2019t you growl at me. It\u2019s not like you guys were some monks waiting patiently for your mate. Everyone, including your mate, knows about your infamous track history. So you can\u2019t stand here and get pissed about something so trivial when you guys were literally screwing other she\u2013wolves hours before Emerald came to the packhouse,\u201d said Hannah, with her own eyes raging with fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know why, but the thought of them with other she\u2013wolves just before they found me was breaking my heart. Yes, I had a boyfriend, but I never gave up my virginity. Even if Eli and I thought we were mates, we still waited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ugh!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bond was probably coming into effect as the days were nearing my birthday; that\u2019s why I was on the verge of crying.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLuca, take Hannah and go back to your quarters,\u201d said Azrael to Luca, while glaring at Hannah. They probably saw my dampened mood after Hannah mentioned their past escapades. \u201cN..no, please! Can she stay? I need her,\u201d I said in a meek voice to no one in particular.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Luna, you have us,\u201d said Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, she needs to learn to keep her mouth shut and not blabber everything out,\u201d said Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, he did not just blame Hannah for stating facts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s it! I\u2019ve had enough!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what exactly did she blabber out, huh? The truth?\u201d as soon as I said that, the quads squirmed\u00a0<\/p>\n
on their spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026she didn\u2019t say anything wrong. Everyone knows in the pack about your ways, and with all due respect, ALPHAS, my track record isn\u2019t even a nano fraction of yours, and you know that for a fact because you can smell that I am pure. If that wasn\u2019t the case, you four would be throwing tantrums right now\u2026.\u201d The alphas whimpered at them be called by their titles again but I\u2019d had it, everything came crashing down. I didn\u2019t care about the consequences at this point, I would pour my heart\u00a0<\/p>\n
out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026you accuse me of all this, while I have not even been here for seventy\u2013two hours, and I have to hear an earful around the packhouse about your different flavours of the month! That is the very reason it scares me to be mated with you four. How can I be sure I won\u2019t end up like one of those she\u2013wolves, or that you won\u2019t reject me or cheat on me after a while? Yes, I hid I had a boyfriend, but I had every intention of telling you as soon as we got to know one another a little more. I never intended to hide it because these things always come out, and I have nothing to hide from my relationship! That so\u2013called pup that you accused of touching what is supposedly yours, is mated to my friend, and is also one of my closet friends,\u201d I ranted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t even realize I was crying until I felt teardrops fall on my hands. Sensing my helpless state, the quads tried to touch me, but I backed away, they whimpered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust please leave me alone, I\u2019m sorry if I disrespected anyone of you, but I couldn\u2019t sit here and take the blame for something that was so trivial and wasn\u2019t even my fault.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, baby we\u2026.,\u201d started Sam, but I cut him off by saying,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t mind, I would like to go to sleep. Goodnight everyone,\u201d I said without waiting for any reply. I walked out of the kitchen, went to my room, and got under the blanket, cursing myself for melting down like that in front of the quads and Luca.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why did I have to be so insecure?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why couldn\u2019t I fall into their arms like any other she\u2013wolf would do?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t even remember when I fell asleep with so many thoughts plaguing my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My baby didn\u2019t even let me finish, and just left us all standing there, with our mouths agape and holes in our hearts. We had royally f****d up!\u00a0<\/p>\n
We knew that she was a virgin, we could smell it, but when my brothers and I heard that another wolf had touched what was ours, it made us go crazy. I know it\u2019s hypocritical with our track record, which my baby had graciously reminded us of, but the thought of another male close to her made\u00a0<\/p>\n
us see red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
F**k! We had to salvage this!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell, guys! Why would you lose it like that?\u201d screamed Hannah, waving her arms in the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We loved our baby sister, but she tested our patience nowadays. However, sister or not, we demanded respect. The looks my older brothers were giving her showed their thoughts were not\u00a0<\/p>\n
far off mine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHannah, I would suggest controlling that tone. We know we let the situation get out of hand, but that does not give you the right to disrespect us. We are your soon\u2013to\u2013be Alphas, and I\u2019m sure mom and dad wouldn\u2019t like to see their beloved baby girl running her mouth off at us,\u201d said Ezekiel, in an eerily calm way that almost sent a shiver down my spine as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The dude could he hell scary when need to be.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah visibly gulped and stood up straight, but kept her eyes on the floor before saying,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, I\u2019m sorry, but what you guys did was unfair to her. You can\u2019t blame her for having a past while you all have an extensive one. She\u2019s already insecure about this relationship, and you guys not trusting her will not help,\u201d Hannah said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No doubt she was right. During her outburst, my baby mentioned that she was scared that we would reject or cheat on her. But, had she seen herself, how could anyone want to reject one of the Moon Goddess\u2018 most beautiful creations? She was our world; we all were already in love with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know! We didn\u2019t know she felt that way, she needs to know those she\u2013wolves meant nothing to us. She\u2019s literally our life,\u201d said Azrael, running his hand in his hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, Elijah\u2026,\u201d the moment she said that pup\u2019s name, we all growled instinctively. Hannah just\u00a0<\/p>\n
rolled her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026like I was saying, Emerald and Elijah were together for almost two years, the most I\u2019ve ever seen them do is kiss one another, and that to in probably the most innocent way ever, if that\u2019s even possible. They thought they were mates, for only Em to find out that he was mated to one of our best friends. The night Luca picked us up from the pub was when she had to see her boyfriend, who she thought was her mate, claim her friend, and for them to ditch as soon as he came from\u00a0<\/p>\n

his shift to complete the mating process. During all this, she happily gave them her blessings. She literally got her heart shattered and then was claimed by the infamous playboy Alphas not even three hours later. Who, by the way, smelt like sex and other she\u2013wolves. It wasn\u2019t the best thing going for her.\u201d We all stood there in shock at Hannah\u2019s confession.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Crap!\u00a0<\/p>\n
We had royally screwed up for sure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We all looked at each other, probably realizing the severity of the issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, what\u2019s done is done. We need to make sure our Luna knows she\u2019s the only one for us. However, I still won\u2019t let her be touchy with the male wolves. She\u2019s ours and can only be touched by\u00a0<\/p>\n
us,\u201d said Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree with Ezekiel,\u201d said Azrael.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSame!\u201d exclaimed Zeke and I in unison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah just rolled her eyes and left with Luca following behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was our Luna, our mate, and like it or not, she had to accept us. We would make it up to her for the rest of her life, but she couldn\u2019t leave us. We were all determined to show my baby what she meant to us. We all went towards her room with determined looks on our faces. Quietly opening the door to her room, which is supposed to be the room we will all share with her as soon as she lets us mate and mark her, we found her sleeping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We slowly edged towards her bed and saw her puffy eyes and tear\u2013stained cheeks. It cracked my heart to see my baby like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I promise you, baby, you\u2019ll only see happiness from tomorrow onwards. You are ours, like we are yours,\u201d I said, while kissing her forehead gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My brothers followed suit, and we all slowly left her room. Bidding goodnight to one another, we all went to get some sleep. I just hope the little progress we made is still there tomorrow. I fell asleep with a newfound determination to show my baby how much she meant to my brothers and I.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hi Guys! Just wanted to let you I\u2019ll be updating every other day from now on. I had some personal issues going on since the last month and half which have finally been solved. Thank you for all your support and I hope you continue to enjoy the quads and Emerald\u2019s journey with me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
