\u201cThen let\u2019s shop till we drop, baby, cause need some itsy\u2013bitsy dress on my baby for our night,\u201d said Sam, grinning like a Cheshire cat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I blushed at Sam\u2019s dressing choice for our date, and I knew he would stay true to his word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was it, the quads went off buying everything they could see. Surprisingly, they chose all the dresses I liked and wanted to get.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Were they keeping an eye on whatever I picked out to try on?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys, hold up, this is a lot! I\u2019ll probably never even get to wear all of them,\u201d I said, trying to prevent the quads from going berserk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I still wasn\u2019t that comfortable with them spending so much money on me, and it would probably take a long time until I was satisfied with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy love, you\u2019re a future Luna, and you\u2019ll always have somewhere to be, and if not, we would love to see our gorgeous mate dressed up,\u201d said Azrael, stroking my cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Holy mushrooms!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The love in his eyes could not be put into words; maybe they truly adored me, but wasn\u2019t it too soon? Yes, I was starting to feel the bond, but \u2018love\u2018 was nowhere near showing in my eyes like it sparkled in all the quads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Also, I had forgotten if I were to be with the quadruplets, I would have to replace the current Luna; their mother, Luna Crystal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could I do that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Would the pack even accept a Luna like me, basically a nobody? Dark Storm was ruthless and the most prominent pack after the Supreme Alpha\u2019s pack in the north.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A nobody that maybe her biological parents didn\u2019t want either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Luna, you okay?\u201d asked Ezekiel, getting closer to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as he asked, the rest of the quads surrounded me and looked down with worried eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBaby, talk to me. I can feel your uneasiness through the bond, said Sam, slowly rubbing my back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With all their touches, I was claiming down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe this is why everyone says the mate\u2013bond does wonders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, please say something. Is it something we said or did?\u201d asked Zeke, panicking a bit and looking at his brothers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Luna has it been overwhelming you with all the touching?\u201d asked Ezekiel, before he could\u00a0<\/p>\n
continue, Azrael said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy love, we\u2019ll stop if you\u2019re not comfortable. We just thought you were enjoying our touch like we were yours,\u201d he finished, slowly backing away like the rest of the quads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as they all backed away, an involuntary whimper left my lips from the loss of their touch. Then, without any control over my body, I took a step toward them and leaned into Azrael, much to\u00a0<\/p>\n
his surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He immediately wrapped me in his arms and put me on his lap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it, my love?\u201d he asked, stroking my back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the other quads surrounded us as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUmm, would the pack even want me as Luna? I\u2019m a nobody. I\u2019m sure no one even knew me before\u00a0<\/p>\n
you all announced to the academy that I\u2019m your potential mate,\u201d I said looking down, not wanting\u00a0<\/p>\n
to see the realization in their eyes that I was right and was indeed a low\u2013ranking pack member.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy parents didn\u2019t even want me, why would the pack\u2026,\u201d before I could finish, Zeke cut in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean your parents didn\u2019t want you?\u201d he asked, I could detect the anger in his voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, fudge!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Me and my big mouth, I doubt they knew I was an orphan and adopted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh um, ah, um, well, I was adopted. My parents said they found me on the edge of the Dark Storm border and asked the Alpha and Luna if they could keep me instead of sending me to the orphanage,\u201d I said, I didn\u2019t have the guts to look them in the eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What if they didn\u2019t want me anymore?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why did that thought sting my heart so badly?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBaby, please look at us,\u201d said Sam, grasping my chin lightly and tilting my head up so I could look\u00a0<\/p>\n
at them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What I saw was something I ultimately did not expect at all. Instead of rejection or a mistake, I saw\u00a0<\/p>\n
love and admiration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cListen and listen well, my pretty little Luna, an amazing person like yourself is nothing but loved. It doesn\u2019t matter if anyone didn\u2019t know or look at you before, because they won\u2019t see Emerald Hutton when they do now, instead, they\u2019ll see the amazing Luna of the Dark Storm Pack flanked by her Alphas. I\u2019m not sure why your parents left you, but I\u2019m sure they had their reasons,\u201d Ezekiel said, leaving a kiss on my cheek, which he lingered like he was tasting me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked up into all their eyes, trying to see if they meant anything other than that, but all I saw was raw honesty and love. Emotions choked me up, and I couldn\u2019t stop the tears that fell from my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShh, baby, don\u2019t cry. Please, we can\u2019t take it!\u201d said Sam, holding my face in his hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you wanna go home, angel?\u201d asked Zeke, smoothing down my hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, um, I\u2019m sorry. They are happy tears. Thank you so much. You don\u2019t know how much this all means to me,\u201d I said, my eyes cloudy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the quads nuzzled me wherever they could.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, my love, no more tears now. Let\u2019s grab something to eat. Luca and Hannah are waiting for us,\u201d said Azrael, as Zeke and Sam held my hands to help me up from his lap, escorting me to the\u00a0<\/p>\n
checkout.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as the clerk checked everything and gave us the bill, my tears dried up instantly, and I\u00a0<\/p>\n
choked on my saliva.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How in the moon\u2019s name could clothes cost over fifty thousand dollars?\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was way too much!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t accept this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before I could say anything, I felt Sam and Zeke\u2019s breath in either ear. It was amazing how I could\u00a0<\/p>\n
slowly tell each quad apart in a day. Come to think of it, I was able to tell them apart after a few\u00a0<\/p>\n
hours of meeting them. Hannah had once said to me that even their parents confused them\u00a0<\/p>\n
sometimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I broke out of the thought as I heard Zeke whisper,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, don\u2019t even think about complaining,\u201d as he licked the back of my neck, sending tingles right down to the apex of my thighs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOr we will have to punish you, Luna, though I think you\u2019ll find it more pleasurable than punishment,\u201d finished Sam, licking down my throat and leaving a kiss on one of my marking spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Holy guacamole!\u00a0<\/p>\n
There goes Niagara Falls in my panties again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Paints\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why was the thought of getting punished by them making me hot with need all over rather than disgusted?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hardly knew them, and my body was going haywire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCalm down, my little Luna, all in good time,\u201d said Ezekiel, giving me a kiss literally on the edge of\u00a0<\/p>\n
my lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gasped and blushed, looking down immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
These guys would be the death of me if I didn\u2019t die of embarrassment beforehand. Azrael\u00a0<\/p>\n
chuckled, took my hand and led me out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go, love, and get something for you to eat. You must be starving,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I just nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who knew all this blushing and trying to dry out the waterfall let out in my panties took so much energy. I was still trying to get over that intense moment between me and the younger two quads,\u00a0<\/p>\n
when I heard the loudest voice call out to me,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEM, OVER HERE!\u201d I heard Hannah shouting over the mass of people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I extricated myself from the quads and quickly went to her, and as soon as I reached her, her nose twitched, and she smelt me. She was giving me a smug smile and wiggling her eyebrows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t even dare. I\u2019ve had enough embarrassment today to last a lifetime,\u201d I said, whisper yelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She just chuckled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, alright, just saying, maybe get down and dirty! There\u2019s no law against hitting the sheets before your birthday,\u201d she said loud enough that I was sure the quads heard since they all stopped talking, and I could feel their intense gaze behind my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ugh! Goddess!\u00a0<\/p>\n
No more, please.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pinched Hannah\u2019s arm and popped my eyes out, glaring at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As much as my body loved the idea, I couldn\u2019t let it get that far. We haven\u2019t even kissed yet, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
jumping to the main deal would be overkill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I still needed assurance that I was it for them. Maybe it was selfish, but I was protecting my heart. I\u00a0<\/p>\n

wasn\u2019t withdrawing from them, nor was I avoiding them. On the contrary, I was ready and giving our relationship a complete chance. I liked how things were progressing, and once I went out with all of them on their respective dates and got to know them better, I was sure that accepting them as my mates wouldn\u2019t be all that hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you lost, little Luna? You\u2019ve hardly eaten anything,\u201d said Ezekiel, pulling a strand of hair behind my ear and pecking my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, um, nothing. I\u2019m just a bit tired. Could we go back to the packhouse?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, my love, but why don\u2019t you at least eat some of your food,\u201d said Azrael.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not all that hungry. I\u2019ll grab something to eat at the packhouse later,\u201d I replied, smiling at all\u00a0<\/p>\n
their concern for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave her be, big bro, let\u2019s go, baby,\u201d said Sam, helping me up from between him and Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah was winking at me and making suggestive signals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, Goddess, this girl is impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a bit of back and forth between the quads about who would sit with me in the back and who\u00a0<\/p>\n
would drive, we finally got in, with me sandwiched between the older two quads and the younger\u00a0<\/p>\n
two, much to their misery in the front.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I giggled, looking at their frowns. All the quads stiffened and looked at me with lust\u2013filled eyes in\u00a0<\/p>\n
response to my giggle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gulped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Okay, wrong move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, Em, our parents are back, they have been visiting the neighbouring pack and I\u2019m sure they\u00a0<\/p>\n
would love to meet their troublesome boy\u2019s salvation,\u201d said Hannah, breaking the tension between\u00a0<\/p>\n
the quads and I.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thank Goddess for Hannah, despite her being a pain at times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wait, hold up! Back up!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did she say that I was meeting Alpha and Luna?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What! No! No!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t ready for that!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLove, love, calm down! Your heartbeat just skyrocketed,\u201d said Azrael, rubbing my back as Ezekiel\u00a0<\/p>\n
rubbed a circle on my palm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Luna, you don\u2019t need to worry. Our parents will love you. They have looked forward to meeting our Luna and mate forever,\u201d said Ezekiel reassuringly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But would they?\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t ranked and had nothing to offer the pack but my love and care.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWill they like the fact I\u2019m adopted or that I don\u2019t have a high rank?\u201d I asked no one in particular.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, zip it, Em! First, our parents know you because you\u2019re my best friend, and I talk about us with mum. Plus, our parents don\u2019t care about all that. Our mom wasn\u2019t that high ranked either when she mated daddy,\u201d said Hannah from the back seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrust us, baby, if anyone will be the happiest, it\u2019ll be mom. She\u2019s ready to retire, both of our parents are. I guess they wanna hit the human world beaches,\u201d said Sam, snickering at the thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ll love you, like we all do, angel. What\u2019s not to like about a beauty like yourself,\u201d finished Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe I was overacting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They would know their parents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goddess, just don\u2019t let me make a fool of myself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
