The Quad

in darkness

Naade pov

I jump woke up in my bed startled hoping everything that had happened the night before was a dream.

A bad, bad dream,a night mare anxiety fueled bad dream but...

it wasnt a dream though im really mated and stuck with the triplets forever?

i burst into tears again sobbing into my pillow my eyes hurt my voice hurt everything hurt.

I got dressed as the sun came through my window i walked out of my room i was taken aback by the scene i saw before me the dishes were washed and neat the laundry was done and everything had been put back where it was supposed to it wasn't the usual typhoon when the three and heather were usually here.

“good to know you did your chores early cow” i heard heather as she walked down the stairs

me? but i was not the one who did all this i thought to myself

“go make me breakfast b***h” she snapped

I quickly rushed towards the kitchen when someones voice stopped me in my tracks

“she wont be making your breakfast anymore” i heard laurence say

“what do you mean by that” heather was huffy and annoyed

“because its the administrators house and those are the rules you want breakfast go make it yourself” Laurence said coldly to her.

Her eyes got so wide i thought they were going to pop out of her head.

They walked towards me suddenly.

“good morning Naade” Laurence said sweetly smiling, it made my brain hurt. Those boys werent nice,

nice and these boys didn't go together, not where i was concerned.

“you had breakfast?no right you usually make us food! I will go make somthing for you” laurence said smiling

widely his dimples vivid. Did he want to poison me.

I looked at them full of doubt as baron lead me to the table “come have a seat maybe fruit while you wait?”

stafe handed me an apple and smiled at me waiting “thank you” his smile got wider

heather looked at the brothers like they were aliens “what is going on”

they were doing this because i was their mate but i couldnt beleive any of it was actually sincere

they would get me to trust and not be afraid then do somthing to humiliate me

weirdly though heather didnt seem to know what was going on which confused me cause majority of their plans she helped them with.

Laureance came with food and a glass of juice and set it in front of me

“not now heather” he said coldly again to heather shutting her up “come on try im a good cook”

i picked up the fork and stared at the food the thought creeped in, what if he poisoned the food that thought by itself i lost my appetite

“im not hungry but thank you” i said pushing the plate away

“oh ok” Laurence said disappointment

I stood and headed towards the door they actually looked disapointed but i wouldnt be fooled again.

“hey we could drop you off i can just grab my...” Laurence stuttered as i cut him off which was another first from him he never lost his words.

“thank you i can walk”i cut off Laurence and walked out the door i breathed in deep when i got outside i texted Stanley and Christoff to meet me at the duck

they were both there when i got there i ran to both and cried

leaving tear stains on both their shirts “im sorry i ruined your shirts guys i said pulling out wet wipes and cleaning my face and handing them some as well.

“you and your wet wipes” Christoff laughed

when we were settled stanley asked “are the three still being weird”

“yes and honestly its creeping me out” i rolled my eyes

“what did my brothers do now” Christoff asked, in that instant i relized he didnt know

“apparently i am your brothers mate”

“what?” was his reply sitting straight up “no way you loath them”

“thats why i rejected them” i shrugged at christoff

“so what they are acting all nice and sweet” i nodded

“laurence made me breakfast and they told heather to make her own breakfast and im pretty sure they cleaned the admin house for me” i told them both

“thats very odd” he muttered

“ i was expecting to make them angry when i rejected them but nope sweet” i shook my head and i shivered

“you should be careful and ill keep my ears open” Christoff patted my back

“hey lets go get food” i said

“havent you had breakfast” stanley said

“no luarence made it for all i know he poisoned it” i jumped down from the tree and we went for food.

We lucked out and got a booth the waiter knew us and asked if we wanted the usual

i got excited cause that ment strawberry icecream stanley looked stern “its too early for icecream three sandwhiches three coffees” stanley ordered.

Christoff went to the bathroom just before

The waiter brought us the food if his bladder had waited maybe the outcome would have been different.

“well whats going on here didnt know they served cattle here” stanleys date from the dance how did she even see us in here.

Tried to ignore her “how DARE you ignore me!” she yelled pushing my cup of coffee off the table to the ground with a shatter

we still ignored her but the waiter came over and told her she was beinf distruptive and that she should leave when she left the resturant we burst out laughing christoff had come out just in time to see the scene play out.

I said bye to them and told them i would text them halfway home i ran into that girl again from the dinner only she wasn't alone this time.

“so are you going to ignore me now” she said sounding huffy she got right up in my face as the girls surrounded me i was so close to home i just wanted to sleep not deal with whatever this was

“no I’m not going to ignore you” i looked at her

“girls” i was grabbed from all sides and healed pushed down to me knees and i felt the familiar feeling of cold dairy hit my head.

I suddenly saw Laurence's car they all stepped out with heather great i thought to myself now its going to get worse this is what they were planning all along. But they let go suddenlyand i dropped to the ground.

“why are you touching her” Laurence growled

“why are you angry Laurence. are we to be nice to her” his glare at her made her shiver in fear

“you touched what was ours” he asked

“y...yours ?”she stuttered

everyone held their breath waiting for his answer!

my breath caught as my gaze swept across the triplets are they about to say it to these girls

Laurence stood there glaring at the girls

stafe carefully wiped my hair and clothes clean like i was a fragile vase that could breakfast

heather was smiling eviley as she walked in and had an ugly expression on her face

stafe why are you cleaning up the cow barnyard animals just get dirty again” she snickered glaring at me.

“don't call her that” baron and taffeta snapped at her.

She gasped in shock the triplets never talked to her that way before even when they were doing the nice chrade at the dance.

She ran to Laurence like some damsel in distress “did you see your mean brothers snapped at me because of that nobody”

“she is not nobody” Laurence said coldly brushing off heather's hand “she is our mate”

“i held my breath” did heather really not know what was going on they had said it and everyone standing there was confused.

Heather started laughing loudly “OK OK OK is this another prank is there a hidden camera”

the boys were calm “you can stop the prank now you got me ha ha” she looked lost and confused her eyes darting around the to the girls that stood there.

Laurence pushed past her to me and took my hand i felt tingles over my body and a sudden rush

“naade is our mate and from now on she has the same authority as us if anyone messes with her they will answer to us.”Laurence stated

“im sure you understand what answering to us means” added stafe throwing the tissue he used to clean me up at one of the girls.

“m...m...mate” heather whined “what?”

“get lost” the boys growled and all the girls took off except for heatrher she looked at our entwined hands and at our faces she looked livid “boys what is going on”

“what you just heard” Stafe simply replied

“what...the...” she started but Laurence cut her off

“not now heather we want to spend time with our mate” Laurance said gently

“you didn't eat anything this morning you must be starving” baron muttered sadly

they left heather standing there stuttering and whisked me away to a restaurant via their car service

at the restaurant Laurence talked to the matradee as his brothers and i were seated moments after Laurence sat down our table was filled with different types of food

stafe kept trying to feed me and show me different options and combinations

i pushed hi hands down “you guys are all being nice to me, its confusing is everyone in on the trick again is someone waiting to take a picture of me eating food with you and youll tag it saving the whales “ i growled frustrated.

“you are wasting your time im not going to accept you” Stafe whimpered a little i almost felt bad

“go back to heather” i looked him straight in the eye.

“heather is not our mate you are we want you” he stated

“what is heather to you then”i looked right at him daring him to lie about her

“heather is...” he stalled finishing the sentence

“a friend” baron cut in with a smile

“Yeah a friend” Stafe added

“do you f**k your friends?” i was surprised at how easily the words came out of my mouth and how bold i sounded

baron looked a little shocked that i knew about it.”it was a one time thing how do you know anyway”

“she saw us” Laurence smiled had he seen me i thought to myself

“you did,wow naade,reeeeally” Stafe smiled

“i heard you mostly you guys were loud.”i stated my face going flush with red.

“for everything were sorry” stafe leaned in looking sincere and offering a shrimp to me i took it from him and ate it which seemed to make him really happy.

“im not falling for it this time the dance baloney hurt,im like half expecting you guys to walk out and leave me with the bill but i can wash dishes its fine i asked.”

Laurence looked appalled “you asked what”

“when i went to the bathroom i asked the matrade a hypothetical and if anyone ever had to pay off a tab here” i ate a french fry watching what hed say.

“we know we did wrong at least let us take you home the service left a car for us to drive” Laurence pulled out his wallet much to the matrdees relief and we walked outside.

“we don't expect to fix it in a day we hurt you and we regret it” Stafe nudged me as i stood there.

“looks like your friend took the car” and huffed

Heather's POV

I drove the boys car like a crazy lady the word repeating in my head, mate...their mate over and over it repeated “ahhhhhhhhhhrgh” I screamed loudly as i ran their car along an alley edge seeing sparks and parking it into a tree.

i wasn't hurt but they would think i was served them right being so rude this morning.

‘she is ours now’ i broke the flower vase thinking about how they cleaned for her

‘our mate’ i pulled apart the bed and screamed into the pillows

‘are you ok’ his voice rang in my ears being nice to her of all people an omega slave wench

“NOOOOOOOOO” i yelled smashing my chair against the wall.

“mate?”i yelled to no one

how can they choose her over me for years its been me and them we did everything together i am a beta daughter who does she think she is “B***H!”i yelled breaking my mirror and shattering the glass i barely felt the cut but watched the blood fall.

“she cant do this i wont let her shes an omega and they belong to me” i screamed loudly tears streaming down my face.

Im going to make her pay,before she came along they were mine you showed up out of nowhere im going to make her life a living hell.

“you messed with the wrong person” get ready you wont know what hit you when im done i sat in the darkness holding my bleeding hand.
