Chapter Eighty-Four: I\u2019ll Come\u00a0<\/p>\n
Natala (Emerald) POV:\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart squeezed in horror.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAw, you don\u2019t look so good, Luna; everything okay? Cassandra Said in a sickly sweet voice,\u00a0<\/p>\n
taunting me with a sadistic grin on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had a knife right against Leah\u2019s stomach. Leah\u2019s hands were tied with silver chains at the back; I could practically hear her skin burning even though I knew my wolf and Lycan were suppressed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know Edward wanted just one, but we thought more the merrier. After all, we owe you so\u00a0<\/p>\n
much.\u201d I heard another voice come from the side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I recently let my eyes move away from Leah\u2019s frightened ones to see Aria holding a knife to Ela\u2019s throat as tears fell down her eyes. A soaked cloth was shoved in both Ela\u2019s and Leah\u2019s mouths to stop any sounds from coming out. Tears burned in my eyes before I could lunge toward the demented she-wolves. I heard another voice from the other side that had me whip my head in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, for someone as pathetic as yourself, I never figured out why the quads adore you so much. Well, no biggie, you\u2019ll be long gone, and we\u2019ll be there to keep them company.\u201d Said Ivy\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t care about what she said; I could only see Hannah\u2019s bruised body and her tied-up hands behind her back with silver chains on the floor as Ivy pressed her shoe into her back. I didn\u2019t know which way to go; they were all my friends. I was scared if I attacked one, the other two would hurt the ones they held onto. I tried calling my wolf and lycan, but as much as I concentrated, all I felt\u00a0<\/p>\n
was hollow space.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where were my mates, Luca and my brothers? Goddess!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I could only think of distracting them until someone came for help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou guys are crazy to think you can get away with hurting everyone, especially me; my brothers will kill you. Not only that, you\u2019ll face trial for assaulting a royal.\u201d I said\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUm, b***h did you forget you\u2019re a homeless b***h that our pack took pity on? Where the f**k did you get any brothers.\u201d Said Aria.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAw, poor Emerald thinks she\u2019s a princess. Well, sorry to break it to you darling, you ain\u2019t a princess, just a dirty w***e who got us in trouble being the pathetic crying little she-wolf and stole our men.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Said Cassandra.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was shocked that they didn\u2019t know of my new identity, and their calling me Emerald made me\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter Eighty-Four: I\u2019ll Come\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
believe that I was hundred percent sure of the thought. I doubt they would do all this if they knew I was related to the twins and triplets. However, that was the last of my worries. How freaking dare they say I stole their men when they weren\u2019t even theirs, to begin with. They were the whores trying to take away someone that never belonged to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were never yours!\u201d I said, gritting my teeth\u00a0<\/p>\n
They should be happy that I didn\u2019t have my wolf and lycan with me, or I would\u2019ve taught them a\u00a0<\/p>\n
lesson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I thought they would get angry or even try to hurt Ea, Leah or Hannah, but to my surprise, they all just laughed as if they had lost their minds. What was with everyone and their weird psychotic laughing sprees today?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, if they weren\u2019t, they will be now. You see, we aren\u2019t crazy to walk into the lion\u2019s den without having a goal in mind. That weirdo Edward wants you as a mate. With how hot he is, I don\u2019t get why he would want someone as useless as you, but not our concern, with you gone; Khole will cast a spell on the quads, making them believe that we are the best options to be co-lunas. More like a love spell, you can say,\u201d Said, Cassandra.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Were they dumb or just plain stupid? Everyone knew love magic did not exist, soul bonding did, but for that, both parties had to be willing. I wasn\u2019t even sure that bond breaking existed, but I knew for a fact there was black magic for bond suppressing magic. Edward\u2019s words rushed back to me, what he said earlier in my head. I shivered. No, it couldn\u2019t be; the quads would never agree to mate with these three low lives. They would rather pluck their eyes out. Before I could call them out on their stupidity, I heard another voice, a voice I knew too well that brought nothing but disgust and anger to my body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I can\u2019t say I didn\u2019t tell you, darling. Now with everything in front of you, what will your choice be? Are you going to come willingly, or do I need the three lovely ladies to start cutting up some limbs?\u201d Said Edward, his sadistic grin plastered on his disgusting face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had no clue how he had gotten in. He wasn\u2019t here a second ago, but the question was answered when I saw the same woman I did in the vision I had seen in the dungeons standing behind Edward. Our eyes locked, and she gave me a smirk and winked at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe resemblance is uncanny! You\u2019re a replica of Michelle. Khole\u2019s the name, by the way.\u201d Said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khole\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTime\u2019s ticking, darling what will it be?\u201d Said Edward\u00a0<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t let them hurt Leah, Ela and Hannah, but I knew if I went with them, my family and mates would go crazy. I wasn\u2019t sure if they would be able to find me, especially since Khole was working with Edward. The guilt and sadness that would surge through them was something I didn\u2019t want them to go through. But all I could see right now was the fear that lingered in Hannah, Ela and\u00a0<\/p>\n
<Chapter Eighty-Four: I\u2019ll Come\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claim\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leah\u2019s eyes; the smell of burning flesh wafting up my nose had my heart churning. They didn\u2019t deserve this! My best bet was to stall them. Hopefully, someone would come to our rescue once they realize it was a set-up. But before I could get a word out, I heard a blood-curdling scream, my\u00a0<\/p>\n
head whipped in Hannah\u2019s direction as I saw Ivy stap her in the shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, stop,\u201d I screamed, rushing out of bed to get to Hannah; suddenly, a gush of wind smashed at\u00a0<\/p>\n
me, and I flew back, hitting the wall and sliding down it. Ignoring the pain in my back, I tried getting\u00a0<\/p>\n
up, but I was hit again by the wind making me fall back down. Looking up, I saw Khole\u2019s smirk as\u00a0<\/p>\n
she waved her hands around and mumbled something, all movement in my arm gone as if I was\u00a0<\/p>\n
paralyzed. The wench was using magic; my struggle was cut short when I heard another scream\u00a0<\/p>\n
and saw Ela being stabbed this time. Tears ran down my cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease stop! They didn\u2019t do anything.\u201d I screamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Where were my mates, my brothers? Where were Luca and Eli? Could they not feel their mate\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
pain?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir fate is in your hands, darling; come willingly, and I\u2019ll have them stop. I really don\u2019t wish to cause the three girls any harm, especially the one carrying an unborn pup. Still, you\u2019re making it really hard.\u201d Said Edward as he came and bent down next to me and stroked my cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I moved my head the other way, not wanting this psychopath to touch me. I heard him sigh, then grip my chin in a harsh grip, making me look in Leah\u2019s direction. I saw Cassandra plunge a dagger into Leah\u2019s arm, then take it out, aiming for her stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNO, NO, STOP! I\u2019ll come, I\u2019ll come just, please don\u2019t hurt them. Let them go, and I\u2019ll come willingly.\u201d I\u00a0<\/p>\n
cried out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop,\u201d Edward said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassandra grunted unhappily but listened and pushed Leah to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSee, that wasn\u2019t so hard! All of this could\u2019ve been avoided.\u201d Said Edward as he gave me a smile;\u00a0<\/p>\n
his eyes twinkled with insanity\u00a0<\/p>\n
I spat in his face, not caring about the outcome! Before I could open my mouth to curse him, his heavy hand coiled with my cheek, slapping me. The impact had me seeing stars; I felt my lip rip open as blood trickled down. Tears blinded my vision. No, my life wasn\u2019t worth four lives. I had to believe that my brother and mates would find me before Khole could do the spell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll learn! Take this slap as a reminder I have no patience for disrespect, darling, and I won\u2019t hesitate to use other means if you fall out of line once more.\u201d Edward said as he squeezed my breast painfully, making me whimper in pain and disgust.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder. My limbs were still paralyzed, as much as I tried to move them to try to get out of his grip. I couldn\u2019t even feel the slightest sensation. I tried calling\u00a0<\/p>\n
3\/5\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter Eighty-Four I\u2019ll Come\u00a0<\/p>\n
out my mates through the mind link, but all I got was static.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLet my friends go! You said if I came, you wouldn\u2019t hurt them.\u201d I said\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, darling, I\u2019m a man of my word.\u201d Said, Edward\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clair\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he turned towards Khole, I saw Ela, Hannah\u2019s and Leah\u2019s terrified eyes. They tried to break\u00a0<\/p>\n
free from their captors, but I shook my head. If they pissed Khole or Edward off, I didn\u2019t want to\u00a0<\/p>\n
know what would happen. I gave them a small smile and mouthed them to get help. However,\u00a0<\/p>\n
before I could mouth anything else, the words Edwards said had my blood freeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTake the pregnant one; you know what to do about the rest.\u201d Said Edward to Khole\u00a0<\/p>\n
The smell of blood and gurgling sounds were heard not even a second later. In a flick of her wrist,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khole had slashed Cassandra, Ivy\u2019s and Aria\u2019s throats. The rest of the girls and I watched in horror\u00a0<\/p>\n
as they choked on their own blood, falling dead on the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDumb bitches! Did they really think there was such a thing as love magic? Here I thought this was\u00a0<\/p>\n
a renowned pack.\u201d Khole sneered, checking her nails like she didn\u2019t, just kill three she-wolves in\u00a0<\/p>\n
cold blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough with the chit-chat; get us out of here. I\u2019m not in the mood to deal with those quadruplets and my nephews; from the sound of it, they are right outside the door.\u201d Sneered Edward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t mind taking one of those twins. With hands like theirs, the wonders they could do to a\u00a0<\/p>\n
woman\u2019s body.\u201d Said Khole.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So she wasn\u2019t only a wench but a w***e. But that wasn\u2019t my concern, they could take me, but I\u00a0<\/p>\n
couldn\u2019t let them take Leah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou promised to leave them alone. I\u2019m going with you. Please let Leah go.\u201d I begged\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you see, I promised to let them live, and the three are living and breathing. The she-wolf is just a precaution to keep you in check, darling. Her life is in your hands. Be good; she\u2019ll live. Rebel; she dies. I\u2019ll ensure you\u2019re there to watch it if it ever comes to that and promise you it\u2019ll be a slow\u00a0<\/p>\n
and painful death.\u201d Said Edward, gripping my thigh tightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as I felt smoke gather around us, the doors fell to the floor. My mates and brothers rushed in; panic shone brightly in their eyes as they locked eyes with me, but they got to me a second too late as smoke completely engulfed us, blacking me out. The only thing I remember saying since I wasn\u2019t sure if I would ever see my mates again was\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will always love you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
