Twisted

Ch. 3 Damian

As I sit in my office thinking over the meeting from last week. I think about having to choose a mate. My brothers and I are quadruplets. I'm the first born, so I am the alpha. My brothers and I all work together to run our pack. They are also alphas, but each runs a different part of the pack.

Having to choose a Luna is not what we hoped for. Lunas are important to the pack, but with 4 alphas, ours shouldn't be forced into finding a Luna, but that is what the elders said. Find our mate by the end of the ball or choose one to claim by the end of the ball.

“Hey D. When we leaving for Green Falls pack?” Jax says as he walks in my office.

We each have a small office of our own and one large office we use together. Depending on what we need to do.

“We need to leave by lunch. The Luna is hosting us for dinner.” I explain.

“Who cooking dinner?” Flynn asks as he walks in with coltan behind.

“We are leaven by lunch for green falls. We need to get settled before things begin.” I explain to my brothers.

“How are things set for while we are away?” I ask no on I'm particular.

“Dad will watch the pack for us while we are gone, and his beta will assist. Also Paul and Braiden have trainings covered. We set the menu for food and schedules for all our leads for each department. The schedule for patrol is also done.” Coltan responds.

“Great let's load the truck and get on the road. Tell the betas and gammas to bring the SUV.” Fynn says.

In the car…

“Are we really going to pick just any girl to be our mate?” Coltan asks out of nowhere.

“The elders are tired of waiting. They said either to choose or find our mate. It has been 12 years with no trace of a mate.” I explain.

“Maybe we will get lucky and find her.” Fynn says.

“Do we all have to agree, or are we each getting our own chosen mate?” Jax asks out loud.

We all are silent a while before Coltan speaks up. “I'm not sure. Maybe if we can't agree one one chosen then we pick our own chosen mate?” sounding unsure.

“Damn I guess that is the best option. If we can't agree, we will choose differently. I don't like it, though.” Fynn agrees with Coltan. Jax and I nod in agreement as the truck draws silent again each of us in our own thoughts.

Once we arrive at the pack we are shown to our rooms. There is a faint smell of vanilla and blackberries.

Something smells amazing, Ace says as he begins pacing back and forth in my head. We will look around later. Let's go eat first.

Pov Fynn

Walking into the dining room, my wolf was instantly up looking. The food smelled amazing, but there was a faint smell under the smell of dinner that was driving Axel, my wolf crazy.

“Chill man let's eat.” I complain to my wolf. “Your giving me a headache.” Axel growls at me. “Something is different here.”

“Luna Vera, thank you for the wonderful meal. It was one of the best meals I've had.” I say to the Luna hosting us. This pack is not a high scale pack, but it is nice for it size. Leadership seems off, though im just not sure what it is yet.

The Alpha and Luna have spent all of dinner discussing the festival. It only a matter of time before they bring up the ball, I'm sure.

“So alphas I have heard we are to expect an announcement from you all at the ball.” Vera starts. “Let the boys eat in piece, dear. Im sure they are not pleased with choosing a mate so quickly.” The alpha comes to our rescue. “My Jade here will be happy to show you boys around the house after dinner if you would like before selling in for the night. We can show you around the grounds tomorrow morning.” Vera offers.

“Thank you, Luna, but we will be fine for tonight. We are in need of some ready before things begin.” I respond.

As the conversation had returned to pack talks and shared previous festival memories, the most addictive and alluring smell hit my nose.

I look at Damian, who is looking at something. I follow his line of vision and see the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. My whole body gets stiff.

Could it be her? Really be our Luna?

I hear Vera shout something about dessert. It takes a couple of minutes before I realize what she said. Damian wolf growls at the way Vera spoke to what seems to be my sweet mate…I look at my brothers, who all have the same look as me.

Jax follows Damian. Ace an old soul. He had always been more primal than the rest of us, but Jax wolf Nix is nearly feral from waiting on a mate for so long. Jax has more control than most wolves. If he didn't, Nix would kill anything that he saw as prey. It wouldn't matter if they were a pack member or an enemy. Nix sees only prey. Has for the last 5 years.

Coltan and I stand. The she wolf seems afraid.

“Are you alright alphas?” I hear that alphas daughter ask my brothers.

We see the shewolf set the platters of dessert down on the table and slowly begin backing away. My wolf feels hurt seeing her back away. Amara, I think, is what Vera called her. Such a beautiful name. Before we could say a word, she turns and runs for the door.

A loud growl that rattled the walls of the pack house is heard from Jax. Nix has taken over. s**t!!!

“No Nix!”
