Chapter Twenty\u2013Two: Hannah\u2019s Celebratory Dinner (Part One)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thursday Leading into Friday Night\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emerald\u2019s POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought of us sharing a bed was getting me all hot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was me I had to worry about more than them, I guess.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, Moon Goddess, just don\u2019t let me die of embarrassment!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I woke up to something warm and wet running along my neck. I don\u2019t remember the quads owning\u00a0<\/p>\n
any pets, and why was I so hot? I\u2019m sure I put the air conditioning on before going to bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before cuddling back into my pillow, I felt a hand going down my back, and I instantly shot up. I\u00a0<\/p>\n
saw the reason for the saliva on my neck and warmth all around me with half\u2013hodded eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The quads were up and ready, surrounding me in bed, with Sam leaving open mouth kisses down\u00a0<\/p>\n
my right, while Azreal placed them on the left of my neck. Ezekiel and Zeke were by my legs,\u00a0<\/p>\n
caressing my thighs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goddess, this felt so good.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could get used to waking up like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As all the quads became intense with their caresses, I let out a small moan and shuddered. Then I\u00a0<\/p>\n
heard them chuckle before they all backed away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No, come back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood morning, little Luna, you\u2019re one heavy sleeper,\u201d said Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Huh?\u00a0<\/p>\n
How long have they been here?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking at my confused face Azreal said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLove, we\u2019ve been trying to get you out of bed for almost fifteen minutes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou kept on swatting us away, baby,\u201d said Sam, patting down the bird\u2019s nest that was hair at the\u00a0<\/p>\n
moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I blushed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when you didn\u2019t wake up, we thought we should use some other way to get our angel out of\u00a0<\/p>\n

bed,\u201d said Zeke, amusement flashing in his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh uh, I was exhausted. I\u2019m sorry,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gosh, this isn\u2019t very pleasant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to apologize, little Luna. Get ready. We\u2019ll drop you off at the academy,\u201d said Ezekiel, pecking my head, as his younger brothers followed suit and left the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I plopped down on the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realization suddenly set in. They saw my bedhead, and was that drool on my pillow?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ah, kill me now!\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m trying to give it my all, they see me as a mess, great, just great!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I quickly got out of bed and did my business in the bathroom. I threw on a pair of skinny blue jeans and a hooded crop top, leaving my hair down since my possessive mates would go on a racket about how my neck is still bare of their marks. I applied some lip\u2013gloss and mascara and rushed to the dining room. We had thirty minutes until my first class, and I didn\u2019t want to be late. I didn\u2019t think\u00a0<\/p>\n
I would have time for breakfast, but I doubt the quads would let me go without it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ugh!\u00a0<\/p>\n
When I got to the dining room, I saw the quads but no Hannah or Luca.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did she leave without me?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, Hannah and Luca already left,\u201d said Zeke, answering my unasked question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why\u2019d she leave without me?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Turning to the clock, my eyes bulged out. Crap, I was late.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys, could we skip breakfast today please? I\u2019m super late, and I have Ms. McCarthy for first period. She hates delay, and I\u2019ll probably end up with detention if we don\u2019t leave now,\u201d I asked, jumping from foot to foot with anxiety.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a scholarship student, I was only allowed two detentions in the academic year. Otherwise, my scholarship could be at risk, and I didn\u2019t have the money to afford the academy\u2019s tuition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, little Luna, we\u2019ll talk to your teacher, have something to eat. You have training today in your schedule after your first class. So you\u2019ll need your energy,\u201d said Ezekiel, his tone hard, leaving no chance for negotiation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wait. They had my schedule? Since when?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Looking at my confused face, Sam answered,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got it from the principal the first day we dropped you off at the academy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

I huffed. I knew they were my mates, but in a way it was an invasion of my privacy. They could have asked me. I would have told them. They didn\u2019t need to go behind my back to get it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing my flustered look Azreal spoke,\u00a0<\/p>\n
WW\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy love, don\u2019t be angry. We weren\u2019t trying to pry. We just wanted to know your timetable so one of us could always be available if you ever needed us to come and get you, and we wanted to make sure you had taken the training class.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They could have asked instead of going behind my back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If this was going to work, they needed to know that we were all required to communicate with each other. I didn\u2019t want us fighting over trivial things.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I let out a small sigh and looked at all the quads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand, but you could have just asked me. In a way, it\u2019s an invasion of my privacy. If we are to bond together in the mate\u2013bond, we need to learn to communicate. If there\u2019s anything you wish to know, just come and ask. I will tell you,\u201d I said, adding a small smile to show that I wasn\u2019t hostile towards them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Something flickered in their eyes, shock, or was that admiration?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm, are you okay?\u201d I asked, fidgeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh yes, sorry, little Luna. We were just stunned a bit. You\u2019re giving us a chance by your own will,\u201d Ezekiel said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Um, was I that bad at communicating that they thought I was unwilling to give the mate\u2013bond a chance?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The one thing that every wolf longed for in their existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I guess my constant rejection and acknowledgment of them being my mates during the last couple of days would make them think that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hell, even I was surprised at my willingness and growing feelings towards them. I was sure down to the smallest cell in my body that the quads would find me unfit for them and eventually leave me, but the more time I spent with them, the more stupid I thought I was for doubting them. They showed me nothing but love and devotion, and I had done nothing but push them away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guilt rising in my chest at my constant rejection of the Goddess\u2018 gift increased by the minute, and I looked down not wanting to meet their eyes in embarrassment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I heard shuffling, and before I looked up, I felt my chin being grabbed and gently raised, I looked into Azereal\u2019s eyes and saw nothing but tenderness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLove, you don\u2019t need to be embarrassed about anything. We understand why you were reluctant in the beginning. You were safeguarding your heart, and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that,\u201d he said, as\u00a0<\/p>\n
he kissed my hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith our track record, baby, we don\u2019t hold it against you that you were distant,\u201d said Sam, as he kissed my cheek and pecked my lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlus, angel, all that matters now is that you\u2019re trying, and we couldn\u2019t be more thankful,\u201d said Zeke, following Sam\u2019s actions by pecking my cheek then lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I saw all the quads nod in agreement to Zeke\u2019s statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlways remember my pretty little Luna, that a Luna should never lower her eyes, not even for her Alpha since she is his equal,\u201d said Ezekiel, as he cupped my cheek and kissed me deeply and passionately, as his younger brothers had their hands all over my curves and bum. Squeezing and fondling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I let out a little moan and leaned into the quads\u2018 touches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ezekiel\u2019s words sent joyous tingles to my heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The quads were seen as the most ferocious and ruthless warriors, but here they were, all of them treating me with love and gentleness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He broke off the kiss and ushered me to the table, where I was placed on Zeke\u2019s lap and forced to eat breakfast, completely forgetting that I was late for my class.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I quickly scarfed down whatever they put in front of my mouth, not wanting to be later than I already was, then rushed out and got into the car to head for the academy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as we got to the academy, I hurried, heading towards my class with the quads in tow, much to my protest. However, that wasn\u2019t the most embarrassing thing. They insisted on talking to Ms. McCarthy saying that I was held back by official pack business. To which she ate up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, when graced by the quadruplet Alphas, there\u2019s not much you can say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They all pecked my lips and were off, but not before glaring at the gawking unmated males. The whole day passed with classes and me hanging out with Hannah, Axel, Jer, Eli, Leah, lan, and Ela. Before I knew it, all my lessons had ended, and we were on our way back to the packhouse with Luca, much to my disappointment and Hannah\u2019s glee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The quads were busy with Alpha Alexander preparing for the arrival of the triplet Lycan Kings and\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Chapter Twenty\u2013Two Hannah\u2019s Celebratory Dinner Part One\u00a0<\/p>\n
to\u2013be Supreme Alpha twins for their Alpha ceremony on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Luca, whenever a new Alpha, in this case, Alphas, ascends to their position, the\u00a0<\/p>\n
ceremony is presided over by the Lycan Kings and their second in command; the Supreme Alphas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lycan Kings live in a different multiverse dubbed lycan country, and the Supreme Alpha lived in wolf country up north in the Royal Diamond Pack. They were in charge of us as the Lycan Kings did not reside here, so technically, the Supreme Alpha family was seen as royalty among the packs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just like that, Thursday went by, and it was time for bed. I was bummed that I had not seen the quads since the morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I missed them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their lack of smell, touch and presence put me in a damp mood. I knew they were busy, but they could at least come and check up on me for a couple of minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I willed my feelings aside, placating that they were busy and not intentionally ignoring me. They had duties as Alphas, and with royalty visiting in a few days, they had to make sure everything was done right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I let out of huff and closed my eyes, and after tossing and turning, I felt myself doze off just as the bed dipped and warmth encased on both sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n
