Natala (Emerald) POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shooting up from between my mates, I was quickly on my feet. Worry dawning me at the prospect of my adopted parents and friends getting hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to get back! Mom and dad and the others might be in danger.\u201d I all but yelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s eyes were on me, my mates getting up and surrounding me, pressing my shoulders and rubbing my back, trying to calm down my erratic heartbeat that was beating vigorously in my\u00a0<\/p>\n
chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong, my baby?\u201d Mommy asked, eyes wide with worry as she came and stood in front of me, daddy right behind her as my mates parted to give them space.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy, my adopted parents and the rest of the pack. Before I left the dark storm pack, I had this uneasy feeling that something bad would happen, and if what you guys say is true about this ability I have. I think something will happen. I can\u2019t let them get hurt if I could prevent it somehow.\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mommy held my face in her hands, rubbing my cheeks with her thumbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNatala honey, calm down. You need to breathe.\u201d Said, mommy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut mom..\u201d before I could finish, Da cut me off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t work like that, sweetheart, unless one of your close ones tends to double cross you, then that\u2019s different, but if it\u2019s Edward, then it\u2019s not possible. Your ability only works when that said someone is in proximity, and I doubt Edward would be lurking around when your brothers and mates surrounded you.\u201d Said Da.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That made sense, but I couldn\u2019t shake the feeling away. Leah was pregnant, and not to mention Hannah was there, and so were my parents. I would never be able to forgive myself if, goddess forbid, anything ever happened to them or even the pack in this case. I was their Luna, the mother of the pack, and if I couldn\u2019t even help them, what was the point of me? Seeing my unwavering emotions, my mates surrounded me again, blocking mommy and daddy\u2019s views. Azreal replaced mommy\u2019s hands on my cheeks. Leaning in and kissed my forehead as Ezeakil held one hand while Zeke held the other. Sam at the back, rubbing soothing circles on my back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy love! I know you are worried, but leaving right now won\u2019t be safe. What if we get ambushed on the way and with your lycan to surface soon. Travelling is a big no-no. You\u2019ll be going through\u00a0<\/p>\n
another shift; you can\u2019t exhaust yourself.\u201d Said Azrael\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whatever he said was right from what I\u2019ve read on Lycan anatomy. Their shifts are brutal and even more complex, but that still didn\u2019t phase my worry for everyone back home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle Luna. Do not worry! I\u2019ll call Luca and tell him to up the security and broader patrol. I\u2019ll even\u00a0<\/p>\n
cheek. ask to bring your adopted parents to the packhouse till we return.\u201d Said Ezekiel, pecking my\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about Leah? She\u2019s pregnant and my other friends.\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll ask them if they want to come to the packhouse as well, angel. But we can\u2019t force them if they say no.\u201d Said Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry; we aren\u2019t the fiercest and strongest pack for no reason. Everyone will be safe. You just focus on your shift that could happen at any moment. Leave the worrying for us.\u201d Said Sam, giving the back of my neck a kiss, which had me shudder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs much as we hate to admit it, little wolf. Your mates are right! You cant travel back and forth. It is dangerous. If you want, we can have some lycans sent over to dark storm as well.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My mates snarled, clearly offended that they would need anyone other than their own warriors to take care of their pack in their absence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWith all due respect, your highness, as Sam mentioned, there\u2019s a reason why we\u2019re considered the\u00a0<\/p>\n
best.\u201d Said Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The triplets hissed at the disrespect, but I shook my head; before they returned to measuring their\u00a0<\/p>\n
p*****s, I spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll let it go if you guys don\u2019t go at it again. I really can\u2019t take the alpha ego from you all.\u201d I said, making mommy and auntie giggle, while my brothers, mates and even my dads looked offended.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I just rolled my eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need, Tristan, but thank you for offering I said, giving him a peck on his cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust please make sure mom and dad get to the packhouse and my friends as well, especially Leah. Could you tell them I asked them too if they don\u2019t listen?\u201d I said to my mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ezekiel held my face in his hands, kissing my forehead and mumbling a sure. After a few more encouraging words, I left with the twins. Isaiah and Josiah showed me around the pack for the rest of the day. Introducing me to their beta, gamma and other members of the pack. Surprisingly they introduced me as theirs and the triplet\u2019s baby sister they were serious when they meant they wouldn\u2019t keep me a secret anymore. I had doubted it when they all said it, but the way they introduced me, with hints of pride and love in their voice and eyes, had me melting. Goddess! How did I get so lucky? First with an amazing best friend then four incredible mates, and now a huge and very loving family. Every prayer of praise would not suffice for the goddess. After all the introductions were done, the twins brought me back to the private dining room, where we all had dinner, and now we were all sitting in the living room, cracking random jokes. Surprisingly and much to my brother\u2019s dismay, my mates and daddy and Da were getting along well. To the point where they were doing that guy thing of punching each other shoulders. The scene had me smile! I\u00a0<\/p>\n

loved how my mates have been trying to acclimate with my family. Even though I knew from time to time they wanted to snap my brothers\u2019 necks. However, they never let it show and let it go,\u00a0<\/p>\n
which I knew was hard for them. I was truly lucky!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you smiling about, my pup.\u201d I heard mommy say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was sitting on the ground at her feet as she plaided my hair in a french twist. I missed my mom\u00a0<\/p>\n
back home, my adopted mom; she always used to do my hair when I was back home. I had told\u00a0<\/p>\n
mommy all about her, and I loved how mommy was so welcoming of her. She said she would\u00a0<\/p>\n
always be thankful to her and dad for raising me when she and daddy couldn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just nice seeing the quads, and both daddy and da get along. If only the twins and triplets\u00a0<\/p>\n
could get along like this.\u201d I said, sighing at the last part.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mommy chuckled!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, my little one! As much as you think your brothers don\u2019t like your mates, that\u2019s very wrong. They actually like them a lot. If truth is spoken, all five of them have mentioned that they would have one\u00a0<\/p>\n
else mated to you than them, and we all agree with them.\u201d Said, mommy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That stunned me; I turned around to look at mommy to see if she was just saying it to make me\u00a0<\/p>\n
feel better or if she actually meant it. The smile told me it was the latter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut they always act as if they hate them,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mommy laughed!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, let\u2019s just say they\u2019re jealous. You see, my little pup. They all craved for you, and now when they have you, you have your own life and mates. You\u2019re a luna now, and they think you\u2019ll be so busy with the duties and your mates you won\u2019t have time for them and us.\u201d Said, mom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was shocked. How could they ever think that? Yeah, I had duties and my mates, but that didn\u2019t mean I would ever neglect my family. The one thing I craved since childhood. I would need to have a chat with them about this. Maybe they\u2019ll stop being so hostile with my mates then too. Before I could say anything, I smelt my mates; looking up, I saw all four of my hunks surrounding mommy and me-the look in their eyes of pure hunger and lust. My p***y pulsated at the thought of our alone time. The promise of marking them tonight also sprung to mind, which didn\u2019t help my already moistening p***y. I took a discrete look around, thanking the goddess that it was just mommy and us-my brothers and dads nowhere in sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thought you might want to relax, baby. You had a long day.\u201d Said Sam, winking at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Freaking sons of guns! Mommy was right here, and they were doing this on purpose. The double meaning was clear as day! I was going to make sure they suffer tonight. Before I could get a word out, mommy spoke up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sure she did. Run along, pup; it seems like your mates have some ideas in mind.\u201d Said mommy,\u00a0<\/p>\n

getting up and leaving not before winking and smirking at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Which had me stunned, but my mate chuckles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLooks like our mother-in-law gets us well, don\u2019t you think, angel?\u201d Said Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
