Chapter One: Last Day of Summer<\/p>\n
HELLO, WONDERFUL READERS!<\/p>\n
Before you dive into the Quads\u2018 journey, I just wanted to give you a quick heads\u2013up!<\/p>\n
This version of the story is the second draft, meaning it has only gone through one round of editing. However, starting from Chapter 101, the story is the professionally edited version, which has been revised twice over for an even smoother and more polished read.<\/p>\n
That said, 90% of the story remains the same\u2013the only differences are:<\/p>\n
\u2013 New book name<\/p>\n
\u2013 Character and pack names have changed.<\/p>\n
\u2013 The setting has been updated.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Some sections have been refined for better depth and flow.<\/p>\n
So, if you\u2019ve already read Quadruplet Alphas and Their Lost Ice Princess, you\u2019ll recognize this tale, just with new names and a sharper, cleaner finish from Chapter 101 onward- Thye Lycandra<\/p>\n
Mystery!<\/p>\n
Thank you for reading, and I hope you love the journey just as much this time around!<\/p>\n
Emerald\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the last day of summer, and here I am, already dreading going back to school. Storm Academy is one of the most prestigious schools in the werewolf multiverse; I always felt I didn\u2019t belong there. Despite producing ruthless warriors, pack leaders, and established professionals, it had its quirks, with a constant ongoing hierarchy, competition among the students, the drama between the she\u2013wolves, and the ample number of horndog male wolves lurking around. My name is Emerald Hutton. I am turning eighteen in two weeks and am one of the ten scholarship students who attend the academy. I have always wondered why I bothered returning to that place every year. I have always been overlooked and bullied by those socialist brats, claiming that I was a disgrace to the academy because of my financial status and looks and that the academy shouldn\u2019t harbor charity cases.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m no size zero, with those fancy high\u2013end brands and makeup skills. Still, I have a curvy hourglass figure with big breasts, bum\u2013long silver hair, and bright blue eyes. My best friend, Hannah Thor, the Alpha\u2019s only daughter and youngest, always said she envied my body and that I should flaunt it. Like every other student at Storm Academy, Hannah was filthy rich but was nothing like the other students. She was a sweet, caring, and humble she\u2013wolf that always stood up for me. She had<\/p>\n

<Chapter One Last Day of Summer<\/p>\n
+25 Pate<\/p>\n
recently found her mate, Luca Samuel, the future Beta to the future quadruplet Alphas: Ezekiel, Azrael, Zaqeil and Samael Thor, Hannah\u2019s older brothers. It was as if the Moon Goddess had hand\u2013crafted them herself; they resembled nothing less than Greek Gods. They were known for their brutality on the battlefield and major playboy ways outside it. The quadruplets had graduated a couple of years ago and were still unmated at twenty\u2013two.<\/p>\n
As I pack my last piece of clothing for the school year, I can\u2019t help but wonder what life will be like once I am of age and can find my mate. Despite being adopted, my adoptive parents have always provided me with the best of their ability. We weren\u2019t the richest in the pack, but we had each other. I always wondered where my biological family was. I would never know if they loved me or even thought of me. As much as I wanted a mate, I feared that my mate wouldn\u2019t want me due to my financial status or looks. I honestly didn\u2019t have much to offer but my time and love. I hope the Moon Goddess finds it in her to pair me with someone passionate enough to accept me for me.<\/p>\n
The moment I finished zipping up the suitcase, my phone started buzzing. Knowing it was Hannah since I allocated a specific ringtone for her, I rushed to pick up her call because she wouldn\u2019t stop calling till I did.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Em! Ready for the senior year tomorrow?\u201d asked Hannah.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no idea,\u201d I replied, trying to get as much sarcasm out of me as possible.<\/p>\n
I was already dreading tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt won\u2019t be all that bad, trust me! At least we get to share our quarters this time. Just wait and see. It\u2019ll be so much fun; we have Leah and Ela with us this year. It\u2019s going to be epic!\u201d<\/p>\n
Leah and Ela, which was short for Elanor, were our other two girls\u2018 best friends. Like Hannah, they were wealthy but super nice. I still didn\u2019t get how these three decided to be my friends.<\/p>\n
Alongside Ela and Leah, our friend group consisted of our three clowns: Axel Smith, Ela\u2019s twin brother, Jeremiah Dun, who we called Jer for short, and lan Holder. He, like me, was a scholarship student but wealthier than me. Again, I, to this day, don\u2019t get how we all became friends, but as fate would have it, here we are going four years strong on our friendship.<\/p>\n
\u201cOK, more of that later, baby girl. I called to remind you about the dinner at my place the day after tomorrow. I won\u2019t take no for an answer, and you promised you\u2019d let me dress you up,\u201d Hannah<\/p>\n
said.<\/p>\n
The current Alpha, Alexander and Luna, Crystal Thor, Hannah\u2019s parents, were hosting a celebratory dinner for the pack leaders, warriors, and Hannah\u2019s friends for finding her mate, Luca. So, as fate would have it, or should I say Hannah had it, she was not letting me skip. Usually, I kept going to the packhouse at a minimum because of the weird stares and whispers, but I guess I\u2019ll be going<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Han! As much as I don\u2019t like visiting the packhouse, I want to be there to show my support and happiness. Just please don\u2019t overdo it with the outfit!\u201d<\/p>\n
Whatever I said was true; I was happy for Hannah to find Luca. She always talked about how she adored the guy since they were pups.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about that, Em, I got you! Anyhow, I got to go! See you tomorrow\u201d<\/p>\n
We hung up after that.<\/p>\n
I am thankful to the Moon Goddess for helping me find Hannah, Ela, Leah, and my adoptive parents. I would be so lost without them. I sometimes think about where my biological parents are and if they know I am alive or if they ever wanted me in the first place. I was found by my adoptive parents near our pack border. Mum always said that the Goddess herself blessed me and that my eyes sparkled with love and kindness that melted even the darkest of hearts, but I honestly did not think so. If I were, then why did my biological family not want me? I\u2019m not complaining, but I have always wanted to know why.<\/p>\n
Well, so be it, I suppose. I have my support system right here in the Dark Storm Pack. It may be limited to my adoptive parents, my six best friends, and<\/p>\n
I<\/p>\n
my mate could also be a part of it.<\/p>\n
from the forest, but it was enough for me. Maybe one Dana, my pet cat, whom I rescued<\/p>\n
