These quads will be the death of me. I reeked of pure Alpha male, well, of Zeke and Sam specifically. Even with the tons of perfume I sprayed over myself, I was still getting side-eyes; with all the glances and death glares I was getting from the passing she-wolves and the not-so-hidden smirks from the guys, I knew people could smell their scent mixed with my arousal on me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ugh! Awkward!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had no problem being handsy with the quads, but still didn\u2019t want to broadcast it around the whole darn packhouse!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Climbing down the gigantic spiral staircase, I went towards the foyer and saw Zeke waiting in front with his eyebrows furrowed as he read something on his phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What happened to him? He was all bubbly not even ten minutes ago. Probably sensing me approach, he quickly put away his phone and gave me all his attention. Pulling me to him in a hug and nuzzling his nose in my neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou smell the best you ever have, angel,\u201d he said, chuckling and giving my neck one long lick from the junction of my neck and shoulder to the bottom of my ear and then nipping the lobe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shivered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realizing what he had just said, I pulled back and playfully smacked him across his arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yeah, I\u2019m sure you love the way I smell since it\u2019s all you and Sam.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humph!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go, angel,\u201d said Zeke chuckling, grabbing my Hand and leading me out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nodding while grumbling under my breath, he led me outside to his car. Unlike his elder brothers, who had sleek sports cars, he had this box-looking SUV. Surprisingly, I knew this car since it was one of my favourites. It was a Mercedes AMG G-wagon. I couldn\u2019t help the wow that came out of my mouth with a huge smile. I heard Zeke chuckle Behind me, as he held on to my waist and helped me get into the passenger seat then rounded the car and sat on the driver\u2019s side, quickly\u00a0<\/p>\n
pulling out of the driveway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was he in a hurry?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the rush?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He tensed for a fleeting second but quickly recovered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to spend maximum time on our date, angel is that such a crime?\u201d he asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I felt like he was trying to divert the topic, but I let it go and just smiled at him, shaking my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the, let\u2019s say, strenuous activities in the bedroom, I was a bit sleepy, but I felt terrible sleeping on him, so I tried keeping my eyes open. He seemed excited about this date, I didn\u2019t want to offend him or anything. Seeing me struggle to keep my eyes open, he grabbed my hand, bringing it to his\u00a0<\/p>\n
lips and kissing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSleep angel, you look tired. It\u2019s a bit of a drive. I\u2019ll wake you up once we get there,\u201d Zeke said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut what if\u2026,\u201d before I could finish, he interrupted me,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fine, Luna. I know you\u2019re tired,\u201d he said, winking with a smirk playing on his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humph! Rub it in, why don\u2019t you!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Blushing, I nodded. Closing my eyes, I leaned back on the seat, and almost immediately after I\u00a0<\/p>\n
dozed off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, wake up! We\u2019re here,\u201d I heard Zeke whisper gently in my ear, as he stroked my arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUmm, no, go away, I\u2019m sleepy,\u201d I think I mumbled, grabbing a soft, warm fleshy limb and snuggling\u00a0<\/p>\n
into it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard him laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ughh! Shush! It was all his and Sam\u2019s fault I was tired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, if you\u2019re going to sleep, who\u2019s gonna ride the ferris wheel and play all the booth games?\u201d he\u00a0<\/p>\n
asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wait, did he say ferris wheel and games? Walt, were we at a\u2026, before Zeke could get another word out, my eyes shot open, and I looked out the window. Oh, my Goddess, he brought me to a carnival! Not any carnival; it was the Dark Storm Pack Autumn Fest Carnival, tickets for this event sold out before you could say cotton candy!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh Goddess, no, you didn\u2019t. Oh, my Goddess! I\u2019ve wanted to come here for so many years but never got tickets,\u201d I said as I tugged on something.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wait! What was I holding on to?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking down, I saw I had Zeke\u2019s arm in a vice-like rip. I had even clawed him in my excitement. Crap! I quickly let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh Goddess, I\u2019m so sorry. I didn\u2019t mean to, I was just\u2026.\u201d before I could finish my word vomit, Zeke\u2019s lips landed on my lips, probably hoping to shut me up, which might I add, worked. Totally\u00a0<\/p>\n

forgetting about my explanation, I leaned into the kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once he parted us, he pecked my lips, got down from the car, and came to my side, helping me out\u00a0<\/p>\n
and putting his arm around my waist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy angel, you don\u2019t ever need to apologize to me or to my brothers for anything, especially for\u00a0<\/p>\n
something this trivial. Are you forgetting your mates are Alphas, so what will the nails of an\u00a0<\/p>\n
adorable little she-wolf like yourself do to us?\u201d asked Zeke, bopping my nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had a point about the clawing, but I still felt terrible. I nodded and smiled at him, not wanting to\u00a0<\/p>\n
repeat the topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGoddess! I can\u2019t believe this. Hannah and I have wanted to come here forever. Luca brought her\u00a0<\/p>\n
here a few weeks ago, and she couldn\u2019t stop raving about it. Plus, I hardly ever got a chance to get tickets, they sold out so fast\u2026,\u201d I stopped when I noticed, apart from our car, the lot was almost empty; wait, was it closed,\u201d\u2026wait, I think it\u2019s closed I finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing my disappointed expression, I thought Zeke would feel bad that he had messed up, but instead, I heard a chuckle! Looking up, I saw a look of adoration in his eyes. Wait, did I miss something? Looking around, I was sure the carnival was closed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy beautiful, beautiful angel, did you think I wouldn\u2019t plan our date properly? It isn\u2019t closed. I just asked, well kind off ordered, management to let me rent out the entire place for just the two of us,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
said Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment he said that my jaw fell open. Rent the entire place? How much money did he spend? Each entry ticket was around two hundred dollars, and there were three hundred and fifty tickets sold daily; if my math isn\u2019t wrong, he spent seventy thousand just renting this place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, my holy Goddess! Were he and his brothers crazy?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Until now, each date had cost the quads thousands of dollars. How rich could they be? I started feeling guilty; they were using their hard-earned money for such fickle things, thinking of ways to impress me. No doubt they were, but the money could be used for other things like the pack orphanage or other needy members. But from what I know, no one or nothing in the pack wasn\u2019t up to standard, so maybe this was extra money on the side?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing my guilty expression, Zeke stopped in his tracks which had me stopping. He then held my chin gently and made me look up,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLuna, don\u2019t feel bad. We work for you, to provide for you, and we will continue until the day we die. It\u2019s our job as your mates and Alphas to see you have everything in life, and will be the same when our pups come along,\u201d said Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the word pups, my cheeks tinged red. Pups with the quads sounded surreal. I wondered who they would take after, them or me? Would we have a girl first or a boy? I couldn\u2019t help the\u00a0<\/p>\n

blush that kept on growing. Goddess, how embarrassing. Plus, Zeke\u2019s snickering wasn\u2019t helping\u00a0<\/p>\n
the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut Zeke, you guys have been spending all this money. Why not put it somewhere like the orphanages, maybe schools or something similar? said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy beautiful Luna. We always knew you were kind-hearted, but today I saw it. You don\u2019t need to worry that pretty little head, my angel. Just know that there\u2019s a reason why we are the strongest pack after the Alpha twins pack. Not only in size but in economic development as well. Now enough of this boring stuff, let\u2019s go have some fun.\u201d he said, dragging me to the entrance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled and let him drag me, not wanting to spoil the mood. He was right. I just came into their lives, there wasn\u2019t a doubt that Dark Storm had better economic and GDP growth than all the packs in the multiverse. Reaching the entrance, there were two rows of seven employees on each side, each holding what I think were single sunflowers. Walking through the row, each employee handed me a sunflower, welcoming me and their Alpha. By the end, I had fourteen,huge sunflowers in my hand, and my blush was at an all-time high; looking up at Zeke, he winked at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ugh! These brothers were hopeless. How they came up with these ideas beats me, but I wasn\u2019t complaining, they sure knew how to make a girl swoon over them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWelcome, Alpha Zaqeil and future Luna Emerald\u2026 but before the employee could finish what he was saying, Zeke let out a low snarl and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean by future? She is the Luna, and you will call her as such,\u201d he huffed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stiffening, the employee nodded his head eagerly, not wanting to give the poor guy a chance to faint, I grabbed Zeke\u2019s hand and led him inside. Before entering, an employee came forward and took the sunflowers from my hand, informing he would get someone to make them into a bouquet and give them back before we left, saying a quick thank you we went inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was mean, you scared that guy,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are his Luna; the whole pack knows that! What\u2019s the point of saying future before your title?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He huffed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I giggled. So childish!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, okay, he got the message. Now quit pouting and let\u2019s go play some games,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Puffing his nose one last time, he smiled, took my hand, and led me to the different stalls. The moment we started, it was all fun afterwards. We played toss a ring over the bottles, with me missing every bottle every time. Zeke wasn\u2019t so far behind either he only got two out of the five rings in; we both lost. We played whack-a-mole, in which Zeke won me an adorable black wolf, and I won a banana-shaped stuffy. Then we played basketball, that one I lost miserably in, not even a single hoop, whereas Zeke scored on every throw. He told me apparently he used to be the captain\u00a0<\/p>\n

of the basketball team back in the academy. While Ezekiel was the football team\u2019s captain, Sam was the soccer team\u2019s, and Azreal was the captain of the hockey team. I never knew the quads were so athletic. I knew they were academically exceptional but never about the sports side. Well, it wasn\u2019t hard to believe from the look of Sam and Zeke\u2019s delicious washboard abs this morning; they probably were fitness junkies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
