Ezekiel POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n

T\u00a0<\/p>\n
A beautiful icy white wolf with a blue hue in her fur, with the bluest eyes I had ever seen, stood not too far from us, howling to the moon. To say we were stunned would be an understatement. It was impossible! She was a majestic wolf; the last one to exist was over five hundred years ago, and on top of that, she bored the royal sigma on her chest a half-moon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Did that mean she was the Lycan king\u2019s sister? But she was a wolf, not a Lycan; what the f**k was\u00a0<\/p>\n
happening?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatala,\u201d I heard the triplets and twins whisper out. The sound was so quiet that it could\u2019ve been missed if I wasn\u2019t looking at them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natala?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Who was Natala?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s impossible. I checked. I checked for days.\u201d One of the triplets said. One would think he was mad, but relief poured out of his voice as he stared toward my little Luna.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was weird that they didn\u2019t seem one bit shocked that our Luna was a majestic wolf, as they had\u00a0<\/p>\n
always known.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before I could ask who this Natala person was and why they didn\u2019t seem one bit shocked to see\u00a0<\/p>\n
our Luna\u2019s wolf, Josiah spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you guys have questions. We will answer them all but right now, go to your mate. Let your wolves bond. Plus, there was an attack a few hours ago; it still might not be safe.\u201d He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realization set in, and without thinking, we all shifted and ran towards our luna.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Emerald\u2019s POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air flowing through my fur felt surreal. This was amazing. Everything seemed so much more different. I could hear stuff from metres away, the howling of owls, and the crickets of the grasshoppers echoed in my ears as if they wore right next to me. I could see metres ahead, clearer, brighter and sharper. Even though it was dark and only a faint moonlight passed through the canopying tree, I could still see everything. But then, all of a sudden, I halted in my steps. Did Trisha say princess earlier? Was that a pet name, of was \u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Trisha, am I related to the triplets\u2019 I asked. Scared that maybe she wouldn\u2019t know, but from what I\u2019ve read in wolf physiology, a wolf can sense their parents and siblings, but that was the thing, I\u00a0<\/p>\n

was a wolf. There was no doubt that the triplet were lycans. Lycans stood on two feet and were\u00a0<\/p>\n
much buffer and taller than wolves. Then did that mean the twins were my brothers?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018I think it\u2019s time you ask them. There\u2019s a lot you don\u2019t know, Emerald. Everything will be known to\u00a0<\/p>\n
you in time.\u2019 Said Trisha.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly I was hit with four delicious scents that kept on getting closer. Paws thudding on the floor rang in my ear, clear as day, and then my mates jumped out of the treeline. Standing in front of me were my beautiful mates, black as night fur adored their bodes, those beautiful grey orbs l\u00a0<\/p>\n
loved getting lost in looked straight at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goddess! They were perfect!\u00a0<\/p>\n
And all mine!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even in their wolf forms, they were the exact same, but to me, they were four different people, four different mates. I locked eyes with Ezekiel\u2019s wolf, Ace; a combination of musk and peaches wafted through my nose. Then my eyes locked with Azreal\u2019s wolf Lex: a combination of musk and sandalwood wafted through my nose. Then came Zeke\u2019s wolf, Rowco, a combination of musk and coca wafted through my nose, last my eye met with Scar, Sam\u2019s wolf, a combination of musk and apples wafted through my nose. Each scent making my brain go haywire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was this insane urge to be near them, touch them, and protect them. Everything I felt for them felt like it had no bounds anymore, multiplying, no quadruplfying. I finally understood what they meant when they said, and everyone else said, you\u2019ll know how it feels once the mate bond\u00a0<\/p>\n
hits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Little Luna, your beautiful, I heard Ezeakil\u2019s voice filter through my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Our mindlink!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019re so proud of you, baby,\u2019 Said Sam, through the link as his wolf throttled towards me, licking my muzzle, Trisha returning the gesture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018You were so strong, angel.\u2019 Said Zeke, licking my muzzle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018How do you feel, my love? Not too tired, I hope.\u2019 Sad Azreal, as his wolf took rounds around me, checking if I was okay or not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Thank you for being there for me during the shift. How long did it take? It felt like almost like an\u00a0<\/p>\n
hour.\u2019 I said, wondering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The average shift takes twenty minutes if your mates are near; I\u2019ve heard stories where shifts took at least over an hour. I was in too much pain to notice how long it took. The quad wolves looked at me with an unknown expression. Huh? from the looks of it, they were mind linking each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Huh! Rude much!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I was standing right here. But before I could ask them anything, Azreal\u2019s voice filtered into my\u00a0<\/p>\n
mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018My love, have you not seen your wolf\u2019 He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh yeah! In all the commotion and excitement, I totally forgot to look at what I looked like. Without saying anything else, I turned around and walked towards the little stream that was running through the forest. I could feel the quads were following closely behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rolled my eye in my head! Still the same protective and possessive. But with yesterday\u2019s events, I\u2019ll give their behaviour a pass. I knew they were scared for me; I could see it in their eyes when I woke in the hospital. Hell, if I was scared for myself when I saw that man. Halting in my steps, that\u00a0<\/p>\n
man! Who was he? He said that I should\u2019ve known Him? I need to talk to the twins and triplets\u00a0<\/p>\n
when I get back. Not wanting to delay the talk, I hurried to the stream to take a peek at myself and\u00a0<\/p>\n
then go look for the twins and triplets. I sped up, but the shock that came when I saw my reflection.\u00a0<\/p>\n
was nothing short of flabbergasted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Suprise,\u2019 Snickeried Trisha in mind, completely ignoring her; I looked at the reflection again just to\u00a0<\/p>\n
make sure what I saw was not in my head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was an icy white wolf with blue hues in my fur: I was a majestic wolf! But that was impossible; the majestic bloodline only ran in the royal bloodline. Then my eyes landed on my chest, staggering me back. The royal sigma was imprinted on there!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goddess! Did that mean the triplets were my brothers? But didn\u2019t the twins hold a sigma as well somewhere on their bodies? The supreme alpha bloodline had also originated from the royal bloodline; in that regard, the supreme alpha family were also royals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard bone-cracking; I knew the quads had shifted; not wanting to turn around and face them, I stood with my face away from them, I was embarrassed. They would be naked! Even though we had fooled around, they had seen some of my bits and pieces; I had yet to see them fully naked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chuckles flew in the air!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oh crap! I forgot about the link; they could hear whatever I was thinking and vice versa. I\u2019ll have to ask Hannah how to block it, and realization set in. Hannah? Where was she? Was she okay?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without thinking, I shifted back into my human form; I wasn\u2019t surprised when it hardly took a few seconds. My quota of surprises for today was full after I had seen my reflection and that sigma.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Where\u2019s Hannah? Is she okay? Is she hurt? I tried sving her.\u201d I rambled out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But they didn\u2019t reply!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Huh? What the hell?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Realization set in when I took in their ragged breathing, black as night eyes that, even dark, one\u00a0<\/p>\n

3\/4\u00a0<\/p>\n

could see the lust swirling in them. Looking in the direction of their sight, I looked down and comprehended the situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I WAS STARK NAKED!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mushrooms!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was so worried about Hannah that I forgot that when we shifted back our clothes were tom Blushing a beet red, I ran behind a bush, trying to hide my body from their lustful gazes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The quads laughed at my expense!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I knew the quads were controlling their wolfs with the clenched fists and tight jaws. The urge to mate and mark one another was strong: my core was leaking just by looking at them, and I knew they were affected by the tents down there. But that could wait. I needed to know where Hannah\u00a0<\/p>\n
was, and I needed my answers from the triplets and twins. I have been left in the dark enough!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The quads turned around, saving me from turning into a tomato when I heard Azreal say there\u00a0<\/p>\n
would be a pair of shorts and a shirt in the trees. Looking at the closet tree, I found a bag full of\u00a0<\/p>\n
clothes, pulling a shirt over my head that was way too big and falling to my knees; I wore a pair of\u00a0<\/p>\n
spandex shorts. Coming out of hiding, I went towards the quad and was instantly squished into four muscular bodies from each side. Just their touch erupted goosebumps everywhere on my\u00a0<\/p>\n
body, my core pulsating at the mere touch but what blew my mind were the sparks. Yes, they were there before, but it felt like I was being electrocuted right now, but in the most pleasurable way\u00a0<\/p>\n
possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs much as we want to strip you naked again, Luna and have our way, we know you need your answers, and we need some too. So raincheck?\u201d Said Azrael\u00a0<\/p>\n
I giggled! They were right; I did need my answers, but what answers did they need?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Untangling myself from them, we all ran towards the pack, but this time I was faster than the morning since I had Trisha now; what surprised me was I could keep toe to toe with the quads. That was amazing because the quads were said to be the strongest and most ruthless wolves after the superior bloodline of the twins. During our run, the quads filled me in on Hannah. She was fine, just a little starch, but Luca had lost it going on a rampage and killing every rogue in her vincity and completely shut her down in their room afterwards, so I wasn\u2019t likely to meet her tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When we broke through the treeline, there stood the twins and triplets, and not even a second later, I was engulfed in a hug, my feet dangling in the air. I thought the quads would lose their s**t, but they were surprisingly calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Natala, I\u2019m sorry. I looked; we looked everywhere. But there was so much blood and the corpse. We didn\u2019t know what else to think.\u201d Said, King Tristan\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why was he calling me Natala?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPrincess, we\u2019re sorry!\u201d Said King Hayden as he rubbed my back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll take you home; we promise to fix everything.\u201d Said, King Lucas.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard the quads snarl, but the triplets ignored them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the triplets let me go, I was snatched up by the twins, again squished in a hug.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNutella! Your alive, you\u2019re alive!\u201d Said, Josiah\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re sorry, Nutella! We had our suspicions, but we needed to be sure. We were waiting for your\u00a0<\/p>\n
shift,\u201d Said Isaiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their touches should have put me on edge since they had never touched me. But, they calmed me more than their presence used to. I felt safe in their arms. I wanted to understand everything and know who we were to each other. I took a step back when the twins let me go, looking up at them\u00a0<\/p>\n
and triplets, guilt, happiness and love swirled in their eyes, and I asked them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you?\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They knew what I meant; they knew I wanted to know about our relationship. Without a single hesitance, all five of them said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all your brothers. You\u2019re our baby sister.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
