Emerald\u2019s POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Ponts\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was fidgeting in my seat. After the bomb the triplets and twins had dropped on me, with them all being my brothers, my brain went haywire. How was that even possible? The twins and triplets\u00a0<\/p>\n
weren\u2019t brothers; one group was werewolves while the other lycans. What is the name of the goddess that was happening? They denied telling me outside, saying whatever they had to tell was\u00a0<\/p>\n
sensitive stuff, so we had to go inside. They even recommended talking in the morning since I just shifted, but I was ready to blow a fuse when they said that and seeing my reaction, they all backtracked. So now, here we all are in Ezeakil\u2019s office with me on Azreal\u2019s lap, Sam on one side as he stroked my ankles, Zeke on the other side as he held my hand, and Ezekiel was standing behind me with his hand on my shoulder, their touches driving me crazy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Goddess, all I wanted to do right now was jump these delicious alpha males and let them devour\u00a0<\/p>\n
me all night, but I had to control myself until I talked with my brothers. The most awkward thing was my core decided to act up again, and my arousal was all over the place, which had the triplets and twins muttering curses under their breaths and killing the quads with their eyes. I couldn\u2019t help but giggle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you assholes can let go of our baby sister now, we would like to talk to her.\u201d Said Isaiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but giggle at the glaring match between my mates and brothers. Slapping Azreal on his chest, I told them to back off. Relcuntenly he let me off his lap, the other quads let me go, and I\u00a0<\/p>\n
sat in front of my brothers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo tell me\u2026\u201d not asking anyone in particular, \u201chow? How are we all related? I know you aren\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
brothers, and no one really knows apart from the royal families how you are all exactly related.\u201d I\u00a0<\/p>\n
said\u00a0<\/p>\n
My so-called brothers glanced at one another; if they were contemplating not telling me after throwing this bomb on me, I would lose my ish. Seeing my dampening mood, Lucas spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cChill, Natala, we\u2019ll tell you, don\u2019t get all mad without any reason.\u201d He joked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That name again, Natala. Did that mean that was my real name?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing my questioning gaze when Lucas said that mame, Josiah spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour name isn\u2019t Emerald Hutton; that\u2019s the name your adoptive parents gave you. Your real name\u00a0<\/p>\n
is Natala W. Stark,\u201d He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I heard the quads say the name out loud, and even tried it out. It felt right for some reason, I had\u00a0<\/p>\n

loved my name, Emerald, but for some reason, it always felt like it wasn\u2019t for me, but now that I know my name is Natala, it just felt right, as it weird as it sounds it felt like home. I don\u2019t know, it felt like that, it was a weird feeling, but I did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then suddenly, something hit; Stark was the twin\u2019s last name; why were the triplets my brothers then, and what did the W mean in my name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour full name is Natala Whitlock Stark. Your ours and the twin\u2019s half-sister.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly f*****g shit.\u201d I heard Sam swear while the other quads sailed the same boat of emotions as Sam. To say all five of us were stunned would be an understatement. Wait, did that mean that the triplet\u2019s dad, our former king was maybe my dad? And the twin\u2019s mom was my mom or vice versa? But then why did I have Stark as my last name? I was so confused that I didn\u2019t know where to start my questions anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What in the name of flying mushrooms!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, how the f**k does that even work? From what we know, both the twin\u2019s parents are wolves, and the former king is a lycan, but the former queen is a wolf, and both the former queen and supreme luna are fraternal twins.\u201d Said Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My head whipped so fast in his direction; I could swear I got whiplash. Fraternal twins meant they were biological sisters. Wait, why did I not know this?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSisters! Why don\u2019t I know this.\u201d Turning, I asked Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Luna, it\u2019s complicated; not everyone knows.\u201d Said Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Complicated? My head was running a mile a minute; I was close to losing it with all this new information. I turned to my brothers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop stalling; tell me everything,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNutella, calm down; we\u2019ll tell you everything but sit down first; you just had your first shift; you must be exhausted,\u201d Said Josiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was tried, no doubt, but I had to know everything. Wait, why was he calling me Nutella!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSeriously, Nutella?\u201d I said, raising an eyebrow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The twins laughed loudly, and the triplets had smiles on their faces.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys, stop,\u201d I whined out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It felt so natural! Like they were born to deal with me, as self-centred that sounded, I liked it. The realization I had five older brothers was slowly dawning on me, and I was getting excited!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKnock it off, man.\u201d Said Hayden to Josiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a pet name Nutella. We found it hilarious when our parents named you Natala; it was so\u00a0<\/p>\n

close to Nutella, so we stuck with Nutella instead. Plus, mom had this massive craving for Nutella\u00a0<\/p>\n
all the time, so you\u2019re particularly made out of the thing.\u201d Laughed Isaiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now everyone was laughing, including the triplets and quads. As much as I tried to control the\u00a0<\/p>\n
smile threatening to set loose on my face, I failed and eventually snickered alongside them. Natala\u00a0<\/p>\n
did seem super close to Nutella.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, okay, I get it; I\u2019m a chocolate spread. Now can we please get back to the point at hand?\u201d I\u00a0<\/p>\n
said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a few minutes, everyone had sobered up. Tristan exhaled a breath and started to talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe elders would\u2019ve wanted to tell you all this themselves, but I know your curious little wolf, so\u00a0<\/p>\n
we\u2019ll try to answer as many questions as possible.\u201d He started.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s start with how we\u2019re all your brothers. Twenty years ago, a war had broken out between the\u00a0<\/p>\n
wolves and Lycan. The wolves believed that the Lycans had too much power over them\u2026\u201d I cut him\u00a0<\/p>\n
off, \u201c\u2026everyone knows about the diversity war, but the wolves have always felt this; how does this have anything to do with me?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has a lot to do with you, little wolf; that war was why you were born. You see, everyone knows\u00a0<\/p>\n
that the supreme family and we are related by blood, from centuries ago through a great aunt who\u00a0<\/p>\n
was mated to the Lycan king at the time. But, what the current royals have tried to hide is that our dad, the former king is stepbrother with the twin\u2019s father, Liam and uncle, Edward.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I swear to the goddess; I felt my jaw drop on the floor with that information. Stepbrothers and their mothers were sisters. That meant they were first cousins from both paternal and maternal sides!\u00a0<\/p>\n
And from the quad\u2019s reaction, they didn\u2019t know this piece of information either. Seeing none of us had anything to say, Tristan continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur grandparents weren\u2019t fated mates; they were chosen. When they mated, they had one child, our father; however, not long after giving birth to our dad, our grandmother found her true mate and left our grandfather for him. Long story short, grandfather had also found his fated mate: a wolf, but she already had two sons from her chose mate, that had died months before she gave birth. At the time, the court was a mess; everyone was against their relationship since grandmum already had two sons, and they were wolves. According to the court at the time, it would bring shame to the Lycan kingdom name, but grandfather didn\u2019t relent and still mated with grandmum and embraced both her sons as his own. The court didn\u2019t have much of a choice anymore, so they placed a few conditions to maintain the reputation and our grandfather could be happy with grandmum. One was that his adopted sons would remain Stark and not take the name Whitlock and that no one was to know that they were the new Lycan Queens\u2019 sons. At the time, grandmum was fuming, but her sons told her to calm down, and they didn\u2019t mind; seeing as they all had no choice, they all agreed,\u201d Said Trsiatn, pausing to see if we had any questions. When he saw we\u00a0<\/p>\n
didn\u2019t, he started again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFast forward years later, dad, Liam, the twin\u2019s dad and Edward, their uncle, grew up together; they had a fantastic relationship, treating one another like real brothers. The problems started when\u00a0<\/p>\n
our father was mated to our mother, the twin\u2019s aunt and our aunt, the twin\u2019s mother, was mated to\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liam. Our mom and aunt were the only children of the former supreme alpha. So, for them to take over the supreme lineage, they needed a mate since only males were allowed to take over. Our\u00a0<\/p>\n
mother couldn\u2019t because she was mated to the Lycan king, leaving Liam to take over the supreme\u00a0<\/p>\n
lineage. However, this wasn\u2019t accepted by Edward; out of jealousy and rage, he left and went rogue. Over the months, everyone tried finding him but eventually gave up, thinking he\u2019ll come back when he cooled down. But that bit them in the ass. Apparently, he was gathering an army to overthrow Liam, take over the supreme lineage, and cause a rift between Lycan and wolves. The main reason for the diversity war was that Edward had wolves speaking up. Saying that the Lycans\u00a0<\/p>\n
had too much influence over them now that the Lycan\u2019s stepbrother sat on the supreme alpha\u00a0<\/p>\n
throne and ran under his direction without thinking about the wolf population. Even though our dad\u00a0<\/p>\n
and Liam tried their best to do damage control, it didn\u2019t work out, and the war broke out. During\u00a0<\/p>\n
the war, Liam was poisoned with silver protecting our dad and your mom, our aunt, took a hit for\u00a0<\/p>\n
our mother when someone tried stabbing her with a wolfbane dagger. During the time she was\u00a0<\/p>\n
pregnant.\u201d Said Tristan, saying the last part with so many emotions that it tore my heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking up, I saw the twins and triplets look down disappointedly as if it were their fault. I got up\u00a0<\/p>\n
and sat between Tristan and Josiah and grabbed his hand, squeezing it. They all looked at me with\u00a0<\/p>\n
small smiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had eventually won, but Liam couldn\u2019t ever father another child; the silver poisoning ran deep\u00a0<\/p>\n
in his veins. It took him two months to recover, but the side effects remained. Our aunt, your mom,\u00a0<\/p>\n
went into depression after losing her unborn daughter. No matter how much our parents, us, the\u00a0<\/p>\n
twins, or even Liam tried, she dove deeper into depression. Our parents were guilt-ridden since\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liam, and our aunt had given up so much to save them. Eventually, Liam and my dad came up with\u00a0<\/p>\n
an idea.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could see him fidget a bit and open his mouth serval times before he sighed and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur dad donated his sperm to your mother.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gasped, wait, did that mean.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Natala, your half Lycan half-wolf. You\u2019re a princess and a supreme alpha legacy by blood. One of the most powerful creatures in this universe,\u201d sa Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
