Natala (Emerald) POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
My body was slowly recovering, no doubt because of my mates being close to me-the bond speeding up the process. Everyone\u2019s eyes were locked on my face, waiting for me to tell them what had happened. The thought of recalling those scenes was gut-wrenching, but I needed to know if they were my premonition powers or not. I wasn\u2019t going to risk any lives when I could\u2019ve stopped them from being lost in the first place. Feeling the uneasiness radiate through me, I felt Azreal and Sam take hold of each hand as Ezeakil and Zeke rubbed my back from behind; they\u00a0<\/p>\n
gave me a small encouraging smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo on, luna, but whenever you think it becomes too much, you can stop, and we can talk about it\u00a0<\/p>\n
in the morning.\u201d Said Ezekiel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had forgotten that it was still dark outside; everything happened in a span of a few hours, and I\u00a0<\/p>\n
didn\u2019t even realize the sun had yet to rise. Smiling at Ezeakil and my other mates, I nodded. As\u00a0<\/p>\n
much as my body screamed to get some rest. Now wasn\u2019t the time; much bigger things were at\u00a0<\/p>\n
stake. I took a deep breath and looked at my family who were patiently waiting for me to start. I\u00a0<\/p>\n
took and deep breath and started.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you know the part where I shifted and then we all ran into the woods with the twins, triplets and the quads chasing me. As Tristan and Isaiah had already told you during the run, I deterred\u00a0<\/p>\n
from them when I felt an intruder when my senses kicked in. However, just as I approached the\u00a0<\/p>\n
group of wolves in the distance, a splitting headache hit me. It was as if a sludge hammer was\u00a0<\/p>\n
pounding my head, and my eyes burned, which made me scream. When I closed my eyes, it was\u00a0<\/p>\n
like my soul was taken from my body; I had seen three scenes. One where we were at the dark storm pack, the quads parents, Luca, Hannah and the warriors were fighting off rogues while one\u00a0<\/p>\n
dragged my pregnant friend named Leah away. I tried shouting out to her, but it was like I wasn\u2019t there. Then that same headache came again, and when I opened my eyes, I saw you: Daddy and Da, fighting alongside the warriors with rogues here at the supreme pack. Then a third time, when the headache came, and I opened my eyes, I was in a room; I didn\u2019t know where I was, but it looked to be like an underground cell or something but Edward was there\u2026\u201d the moment I said Edward\u2019s name snarls and growls resonated around the room. My brother\u2019s eyes were now black, and they fisted their palms; daddy and da shook with anger as my mates gripped onto me tighter as if I was going to disappear any moment now. Mommy and auntie looked pale as ghosts. I was already prepared for this reaction, so it didn\u2019t phase me. After a couple of minutes, when it looked like my fathers, brothers, and mates had slightly calmed down, I started where I left off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026he only said two words, \u2018got you,\u2019 and the pain was back, but when I opened my eyes, I was back in the woods, my mates surrounding me. The group of wolves I saw early was nowhere in sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But what was off when I came out of the dream-like haze, my body was exhausted. It was like I was going to collapse at any moment. It was when my mates touched me that my fatigue was slowly diminishing.\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as I finished, my brothers and my mate\u2019s eyes were bludging out. They were rendered speechless. Their looks told me whether they should believe me or not, but they knew whatever I had said was the truth. Even though they looked shocked, intrigue shimmered in their eyes. All our attention was caught when we heard mommy sigh in defeat. Looking in her direction, she had her head in her hands as daddy walked to her and engulfed her in his arms as he whispered sweet nothing in her ears. My mates doing the same as their body heat calmed my erratic nerves and helped rejuvenate me. When mommy had calmed down a bit, she looked towards me and gave me an apologetic smile, she wanted to come near, but daddy held her close to his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, baby girl. We had no clue your power would come in so early, nor did we think you would shift into your lycan so early. It was probably triggered by you marking your mates and the strong bloodline you carry. But, to answer your unasked question, yes, what you saw was your premonition powers coming to play. Da has already explained that someone needs to be in range for you to foresee their plan through your powers. So when you neared that group of wolves and had no control of your powers, you jumped into all their minds simultaneously, and for a newly\u00a0<\/p>\n
shifted Lycan, it took every bit of your energy.\u201d Said, mommy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I zoned everything out, the only things reeling in my head, jumped, mind, plan. That means they\u00a0<\/p>\n
were about to attack the dark storm pack and take Leah. I jolted from between my mates, eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
frantic as I looked between everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to leave now, Leah, Hannah, everyone back home is in danger, and so is the supreme pack. We got to do something.\u201d I said, words rushing out of my mouth as if a deranged rouge was\u00a0<\/p>\n
chasing me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLuna, Luna, calm down. You still need to regain your energy\u2026\u201d Ezekiel started saying, trying to pull me into his embrace, but I pushed him away\u00a0<\/p>\n
He seemed shocked at the action and a bit hurt, but I didn\u2019t care at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you not hear me? They are about to attack the pack. We have to leave,\u201d I said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as I was about to head to our room to pack our things, Da\u2019s voice stopped my mates and me, that were behind me, trying to make me slow down\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSweetheart, calm down! Those wolves probably know you\u2019ve been inside their heads because if you saw Edward, that meant he was amongst them too. I doubt he\u2019ll attack us and dark storm pack now. It would be a suicide mission since he knows about your powers.\u201d Said Da.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought did ease my mind a bit, but I was still unable to let the thought of Leah or anyone I loved potentially get hurt. Seeing my conflicted expression, my mates turned to me, Zeke holding\u00a0<\/p>\n

Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
my face in his hands as he gazed down at me with the utmost gentleness and love. My other three mates surrounded me as they rubbed my shoulders and back, their touch and the tingles they spread calming me down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAngel, calm down. You heard the former king; they likely change their plans now. But we will still call Luca and have extra patrol up. We\u2019ll also tell him to notify everyone at the pack and tell all your\u00a0<\/p>\n
friends to stay at the packhouse, which is non-negotiable.\u201d Said Zeke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words calmed me, but I felt that I was probably the reason the quads weren\u2019t returning to the dark storm pack. The guilt was slowly growing. I couldn\u2019t keep the pack\u2019s alphas here when their pack was in the midst of danger, all because of my power-hungry asshole of an uncle. I held Zeke\u2019s hands and ushered my mates to all stand in front of me as I looked into their eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not going back because of me, right? You think I could be kidnapped or hurt on the way\u00a0<\/p>\n
back, or it might be a trap?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their diverted eyes were all the answers I needed the guilt eating me. No, we had to leave. They\u00a0<\/p>\n
were the alphas of the dark storm pack and I, the luha. We couldn\u2019t leave our pack when they\u00a0<\/p>\n
needed us the most. I took each of my mate\u2019s hands, stacking them with one another as I looked\u00a0<\/p>\n
at them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
in\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be fine. Our pack is known to be the biggest and strongest for a reason, and if I\u2019m not safe\u00a0<\/p>\n
my own home, I\u2019m safe nowhere. Dark Storm needs us, and hell if I let that deranged man stand in the way of that. Let\u2019s go home.\u201d I said, giving them a small smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My words had rendered my mates speechless. I would\u2019ve laughed if the situation wasn\u2019t as dire as\u00a0<\/p>\n
it was. The quads seemed shocked for a minute, and then their eyes shone bright with love and\u00a0<\/p>\n
pride. I was squished in a quadruplet hug as I felt kisses being placed everywhere, making me sigh\u00a0<\/p>\n
in contentment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou sure, my love?\u201d I heard Azreal whisper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been more sure in my life,\u201d I replied\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could feel the quads smile from where they were muzzling me. The thought made me smile. These four men right here were my world, my life and I sure as hell was not going to be the reason for any of theirs or our pack\u2019s downfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSpoken like a true Luna and princess of the kingdom.\u201d I heard mommy say from behind us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Untangling myself from my mates, I turned and saw my family. Even though they were smiling, I knew they weren\u2019t happy with my decision to leave at this hour, especially my brothers, but I\u00a0<\/p>\n
needed to do this. I went towards the twins and triplets in the far corner, and when I was a few\u00a0<\/p>\n
steps away from them, giving them a small smile in hopes of easing the tension amongst us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry for how I behaved back there, but I\u2019m not sorry for standing up for my mate. I know it\u00a0<\/p>\n

might feel weird to see your baby sister with her mates, but I need you all to stop this cold war. Especially you both, Isaiah and Josiah. You six were great friends until you learned the truth, and I want it to stay that way, not have you all at each other\u2019s throats,\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My brothers looked defeated but nodded regardless and, one by one hugged me. Apologizing in my ear and saying that they didn\u2019t think less of me and knew I could defend myself; it was just they were worried. I placated them! I knew they were worried; hell, everyone was. But I needed\u00a0<\/p>\n
everyone on the same page right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure you wanna leave, little wolf?\u201d Asked Hayden\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled. Squeezing his hand in reassurance and nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could see my brothers sigh in defeat, as did Daddy and Da.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we all will go back with you! As I said, we failed you before, not this time.\u201d Said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, but, you have your packs, your kingdom. You\u2019ve already been gone for so long.\u201d I said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wasn\u2019t their presence needed in the Lycan multiverse? Or the twins here at the supreme pack?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yeah, alphas and kings travelled, but I doubt they were gone this long. Though my love for my\u00a0<\/p>\n
brother and family doubled, they were willing to do anything to ensure I was safe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing is more important than family, sweetheart remember that. Family above all.\u201d Said Daddy\u00a0<\/p>\n
as he hugged me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could see my brothers, Da, mommy and auntie nod in agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026\u201d I tried speaking again but was cut off by Da this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo buts, young lady. Now let\u2019s go!\u201d Said Da\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My brothers, mommy, daddy, Da and auntie huddled around me as they all looked at me with so much love and adoration that all the uneasiness I had felt earlier was gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBaby girl, like your father said, family over everything. Now let\u2019s go kick some ass.\u201d Said mommy, kissing my forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I nodded with a slight smile on my face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
