Natala (Emerald) POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nine pairs of eyes stared at me with nothing but rage and fear; however, I could see hurt swirling in the quad\u2019s eyes as well. The feelings I felt coming from them were hitting me like a ton of bricks. They thought I couldn\u2019t trust them enough to tell them sooner; uneasiness also radiated off them, scared that they might lose me and angry that someone had hurt me and tried taking me away\u00a0<\/p>\n
from them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gulped, looking at all of them. I knew I had screwed up and bad. I should\u2019ve told them earlier, but I didn\u2019t want to ruin the moment. I and the quads had finally recognized one another as mates, and we marked each other; I didn\u2019t want to taint such an amazing memory by mentioning my deranged uncle. Afterwards, they all seemed so excited about the party; I just didn\u2019t have it in me. But, from the way my brothers and mates were fisting their knuckles and breathing, I was second-guessing my decision, big time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the f**k, Natala. What the f**k!\u2026\u201d yelled Tristan, then suddenly realization flickered through his eyes, and his gaze zeroed in on me, \u201c\u2026that\u2019s why you wanted to know what he looked like, you wanted to identify the guy from the woods, and you didn\u2019t bother telling us about him then and there when we told you how f****d in the head he was and what he did to you.\u201d He finished all but\u00a0<\/p>\n
yelling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked down, tears gathering in my eyes. I was ashamed. He was right. I should\u2019ve told them at\u00a0<\/p>\n
that moment, but I hid it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy, Natala, why? Why take such a big risk? Why not tell us.\u201d Said, Josiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe could\u2019ve struck again in these few hours, and we wouldn\u2019t even have a f*****g clue what happened or how it happened!\u201d Said Isaiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnswer us, Natala.\u201d Said Hayden in a stern voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not once did I lift my head. I couldn\u2019t make eye contact with any of them. It had only been a few hours since we got to know about our relationship, and I had already disappointed them. Hannah was right; I should\u2019ve told them as early as possible. They probably thought I didn\u2019t trust them or that I thought they couldn\u2019t protect me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you not think worthy enough to tell, little wolf? Granted, we just found out about our relationship but didn\u2019t we tell you how much it hurt us when that motherfucker had kidnapped you, and we thought you died. But you hid the fact that the fucker knew you were here and tried kidnapping you. Do we mean that little to you that you couldn\u2019t confide in us?\u201d Said Lucas; even though he was mad, I could hear how hurt he was from his voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I whimpered. It was the last straw; my tears fell down from my eyes and down my cheeks as I hiccupped. I looked up at my brothers and mates, my eyes clouded with tears as I tried saying\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u00a0<\/p>\n
something, but nothing but sobs rang out. I saw Tristan about to say something from the corner of my eye when four defensive growls rang in the air. Suddenly I was surrounded by my mates, with Sam and Zeke on either side of me, each holding my hand and interlacing our fingers, Azreal behind me as he held my shoulder, giving them a reassuring squeeze and Ezekiel in front of me shielding my view of my brothers, every touch sending a wave of calm down my body, helping me control my ragging cries. I knew the quads were still pissed at me, but that didn\u2019t mean they wanted to see me cry. It was in an alpha\u2019s nature to nurture their mate, to never let them be sad, so with me crying, their wolves must have been acting up, forcing the quads to calm me down and reassure me of their support. However, no matter how much the gesture touched my heart, I felt like I didn\u2019t deserve it; I had done them wrong too by hiding it. I just pray to the goddess when I tell them about what Edward did and his intentions; they wouldn\u2019t blow a gasket: them and my\u00a0<\/p>\n
brothers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLycan king or not, you do not have a right to make our mate cry, and by the goddess, will we care about the fact your our kings if you make our mate cry again.\u201d Ezekiel snarled as all three of his brothers left my side and stood beside their older brothers showing their support.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t believe my ear and eyes; my tears dried up instantly, my eyes holding fear now, fear for my mates. Were they out of their goddess-forsaken minds? They were challenging our kings, brothers or not, their beasts would ripe them to shreds, and by how the triplet\u2019s eyes were flickering golden, I knew that I wasn\u2019t far off from my assumptions. Panicking, I went around my mates and stood in front of them, hoping that my brothers wouldn\u2019t end up attacking me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease stop! I know I made a mistake, and I\u2019m sorry. I didn\u2019t mean to hurt any of you by hiding this. To be honest, I don\u2019t even know why I hid it; first, I told myself that it was because we had just found one another and I was newly marked by the quads and the effort you all put into the party, I didn\u2019t want to ruin the happy vibe going around, but honestly, I think it was more with the fact how you would all react and put me under lock and key said, being honest with myself too. Even though it was true that I didn\u2019t want to spoil the vibe going around, I knew deep down that wasn\u2019t the main reason; I didn\u2019t want to be caged down; it would genuinely suffocate me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is no excuse, little wolf; even if we put you under surveillance, it would\u2019ve been for your own good, f**k, at least we would know there was a threat around then walking around fine and dandy with the thought that you were safe.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked down, embarrassed. They were right. I heard the quads sigh behind me and then felt myself being turned around and my chin being gripped by Azreal, making me look straight into his grey orbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy love, as much as we don\u2019t want to agree with your brothers, they aren\u2019t wrong. Even though we\u00a0<\/p>\n

might have cut his highness off, but that doesn\u2019t mean whatever he said isn\u2019t true. You can\u2019t do this, Luna; you\u2019re our life, our world; it\u2019s our job to protect you, but if you don\u2019t even let us do that,\u00a0<\/p>\n
what good are we.\u201d He said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, without you, there is no us. We understand why you did it, but that\u2019s no justification. Your can\u2019t only think about yourself. Think what would happen to us, your brothers and your biological parents that you have yet to meet, if something happened during this time and the goddess forbid that bastard got to you again, we would be clueless of your kidnapper.\u201d Said Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust like we talked about how you wanted us to tone down our possessiveness, you could\u2019ve talked to us about how you didn\u2019t want to be sprawled with guards regarding the matter. We could have come up with a solution, baby. Hiding wasn\u2019t the right one.\u201d Said Sam.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLittle Luna, we understand we truly do, but you need to be careful. If not for yourself, do it for the people that love you and trust me, my luna; there\u2019s a long list of people who adore you.\u201d Said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but let tears run down my cheeks again. I had screwed up badly. Zeke was right. I needed to talk to them, and I knew if I put forth logical facts, my brothers and mates wouldn\u2019t argue. Seeing me cry, the quads squished me into a bear hug, whispering sweet nothings in my ear and patting my back till I calmed down. After calming myself down, I kissed each quad and apologized; then, I faced my brothers, who I knew were still in the room and looking between my\u00a0<\/p>\n
mates and me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I sighed and stepped close to them and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry! I\u2019m sorry for not telling you earlier, for hiding it. For making you believe that I didn\u2019t trust you enough to tell you. That wasn\u2019t why I hid it, regardless of the reason. I know what I did was stupid, and I promise not to do it again.\u201d I meeked out, looking straight at my brothers, so they knew I meant every word. I didn\u2019t mean to hurt them and never wanted to hurt them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They all looked at me, exhaled a breath and came forth one by one to hug me: drying my tears, kissing my cheeks and rubbing my back in assurance. They all apologized for their outbursts and for hurting my feelings. But they didn\u2019t need to; if I was in their position, I would\u2019ve reacted the same way. When they all sat down on the sofas or bed, my mates and brothers all looked at me, trying their best to hide the fear in their eyes for me and keep the lingering anger at bay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell us everything, little wolf, from the beginning.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I took a deep breath and prayed that they wouldn\u2019t go crazy again once they knew the whole thing, and my mates would stay true to their word and not cage me in a tower like rapunzel when they got to know my deranged uncle wanted to marry me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
