I quickly shot out of bed and rushed for the bathroom; I heard the laughter at the back saying something like my bum was on fire. At the moment I couldn\u2019t care less. Last night when I returned from the whole ordeal, I told the quads what the triplets said, and we let the topic go. We snuggled in bed, watching funny videos on a human platform called youtube. Before I had drifted off to sleep, Sam had mentioned being ready by ten for our date. Tomorrow was my last date with the quads, and my birthday was Saturday, but I would get my wolf at midnight. I was in a stew of nerves, excited about the date but scared about the shift, and the bomb that the triplets dropped yesterday wasn\u2019t helping either. Why would they want to be there for my shift?\u00a0<\/p>\n
If one thing was sure about yesterday, I had no doubt I was somehow related to them and the twins. But now that I didn\u2019t know? I wanted to tell the quads about my theory, but I was scared. What if they thought I was overthinking it? I couldn\u2019t be, right? I could stand their combined auras and not bow in submission; even the quads, the most powerful after the twins, couldn\u2019t do that. Maybe I should wait till I get my wolf to confront them all; she would also be able to help solve this\u00a0<\/p>\n
brain wrecking dilemma.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jumping in the shower, quickly shampooing and conditioning my hair, I washed my body and jumped out. Wrapping a towel around my head and body. Towel drying my super long silvery hair, I quickly blowdried them and set them in a cute high bun with a few strands on my face. I put on foundation and concealer, adding a light pink blush and golden highlighter today to be different; I did my eyeliner and mascara. Finishing my look with a light pink shade of pink gloss, giving myself a once over and satisfied, I ran to the closet. All this while, I could hear the girls laugh at me and\u00a0<\/p>\n
from the sounds coming from the room, Hannah was also there now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hopping into a pair of dark blue jeans and a red and black plaid button shirt, pairing it with a pair of Chanel heel boots, I rushed out of the closet, panting. Looking at the clock, it was two-twenty. Goddess, I don\u2019t remember the last time getting dressed this quickly. Looking towards the bed, I\u00a0<\/p>\n
see my three annoying best friends laughing at me\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, Luna, Alpha Samael wanted us to let you know that he\u2019ll be late, and you guys will be heading out at four since his date is an evening thing.\u201d Said Leah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My jaw literally dropped to the ground. They knew all this time and still watched me run like a person with a bull chasing her. Honestly, if looks could kill, they all would be six feet under right\u00a0<\/p>\n
now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, come on, don\u2019t give us those death glares! Luna or not, you\u2019re still our best friend before that, so we can watch you suffer from time to time.\u201d Said Ela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, Em, you might want to look in the mirror.\u201d Said Hannah, snickering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Huh, why? I know I checked my makeup before changing, going towards the mirror to see why the girls were looking at me and couldn\u2019t stop the giggling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart stopped. Oh my goddess, what the hell?\u00a0<\/p>\n
My once perfect lipgloss was smudged across my face, my eyeliner had blotches all over my eyelids, and my shirt was inside out. I looked like a drunk person got me dressed. Looking at my expression, the girls busted out laughing again; however, this time, I couldn\u2019t help but laugh with them. I looked horrible; thank the goddess, the quads didn\u2019t see me like this; they\u2019d think I\u2019d lost it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome, dumbass; I\u2019ll fix yaa up for your date.\u201d Said Ela, trying to control her laughter as she led me to the vanity in the bathroom. Chuckling, I followed her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After thirty minutes of scrubbing and getting that goddess-forsaken waterproof mascara and eyeliner off my face, I sat in front of Ela so she would do my makeup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I\u2019ve been getting some deets about a ceratin asexual she-wolf has been getting hot and heavy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Said Ela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she said that, I turned red. Oh, goddess, if Hannah opened her mouth, I would kill her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard Ela laugh at my expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, come on, Em. Give us the deets. The whole packhouse can\u2019t shut up about how you smelled of the younger quads yesterday. Should we be expecting a niece or nephew anytime soon?\u201d Said Leah, leaning against the bathroom door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew it! I freaking knew it! I knew I would be the centre of everyone\u2019s gossip yesterday with how I\u00a0<\/p>\n
smelt. Goddess, this was embarrassing. I didn\u2019t care about the girls knowing; hell, I was probably going to tell them anyway what I and the quads have been up to, but I didn\u2019t the whole damn pack\u00a0<\/p>\n
knowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The girls laughed at my horrified expression and my highly blushed face. Leah came over and gave me a side hug and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing to be embarrassed about, Em; you\u2019re their mate. If you\u2019re not going to smell like them, then who will. The she-wolves are still burnt up with the news, so don\u2019t hide but flaunt it, girl. You\u2019re their Luna! And, if someone does something you don\u2019t appreciate, I doubt the alphas won\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
put them in your place.\u201d She finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlus, Em, these are such trivial things. What mate hasn\u2019t smelt like the other? Anyhow forget that that unnecessary gossip every free lazy ass she-wolf does. I just wanted to say that words can\u2019t describe how happy Leah and I are for you. With how things started for you, we were scared, and\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leah and Eli were guilt-ridden, but nothing makes me happier than seeing you happy, love. You deserve so much that you don\u2019t even know.\u201d Said Ela, Leah nodding in agreement as both of them squished me in a hug.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had the best friends in the world; there was no doubt about that. Yes, Eli and Leah\u2019s bond hurt; I thought that goddess loved to watch me suffer, first abandoned by my birth parents, bullied growing up and then my so-called boyfriend mating with my best friend. But, ultimately, it was worth it because it led me to my happiness, my alphas, my future mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, alright, now back up, everyone. I gotta get this girl ready for her big date.\u201d Said Hannah, jumping into our group hug and then literally detangling Leah and Ela from me and pushing them out of the bathroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After another thirty minutes of fixing my bun, redoing my makeup and making sure my shirt was not inside out, I was ready. The girls and I sat and chatted for a bit when we heard a knock on the door around three-thirty. I blushed, knowing Sam was probably looking for me for our date. Seeing my shy face, the girls all laughed and made smoochy faces before opening the door. Ugh! They were so immature. However, my smile still peeked through at their silliness. Walking to the door and opening it, my breath is caught in my throat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
These quadruplets really did the statement dress to kill justice. Dressed in skinny black jeans and a black button-down that clung to his muscular body with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, I\u00a0<\/p>\n
drooled like a dog for a bone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing my expression, Sam laughed and engulfed me in a hug.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the looks and smell of your arousal, I take you like what you see, baby?\u201d He whispered in my\u00a0<\/p>\n
ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh, goddess! When did my downstairs decide to go all fire hydrant?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ughh! This was all the quad\u2019s fault. Since they came into my life, my bodily control was zero.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, baby; we\u2019re in the same boat. Wanna see, well feel.\u201d Said Sam; suddenly, I felt something hard and warm pulsating near my stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stiffened. Oh, goddess!\u00a0<\/p>\n
His sister was right behind us, and so were Ela and Leah\u00a0<\/p>\n
I detangled myself from him and slapped him on his chest, but my smile still swept through my lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chuckling, he dropped his arm around my shoulder and walked us out of the room. I threw a loud goodbye and talked soon to my friends and went along with Sam. Instead of a bye in response, I was hoping I got a catcall of \u2018don\u2019t do something I won\u2019t do\u2019 and \u2018better control that scent\u00a0<\/p>\n
she-wolf.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was horrified. How could they say that in front of one of their alpha\u2019s, weren\u2019t they supposed to be like scared of them? Looking at Sam, I saw him laughing his bum off. At least one of us found my\u00a0<\/p>\n
friend\u2019s dumb humour funny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We walked down the staircase to the driveway, where I saw a double cabin truck with the most giant tries I had ever seen parked-Goddess, what was with the quads and their car choices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How was I supposed even to climb up that thing? Seeing my dilemma, Sam chuckled, and suddenly I was swept up in his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, what are you doing,\u201d I asked\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHelping my baby up. Now be quiet.\u201d Said Sam, kissing my nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We came near the door, which I helped open. He put me in the passenger seat, helped me buckle in, and then rounded the car and sat in the driver\u2019s seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReady to rock and roll, baby, for your best date yet. Said Sam, winking at me as he drove out of\u00a0<\/p>\n
the packhouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shook my head and laughed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s see what you got, Alpha Samael,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
