The Quad

Her scent

I got no sleep the night before i got up quickly maybe i could get eveything done before the administrator woke up and i could leave shed just think she missed me i had just pulled a tshirt gingerly over my back when a thought froze me what if they were here in the house still!

I got my shoes i had everything chores were done my body and back had been screaming at me the whole time but i was good to go.

I bolted through the door body still screaming at me and was almost out when i heard.

“where do you think your going” it was stafe oh god they were up early i had thought they were sleeping.

I turned on my heel and faced them eyes done “im going to class” i muttered

“speak up and look at me” i raised my eyes he was shirtless they had slept here god why do assholes have to have nice bodies there dumb attitude wrecks it stafe like his brothers had a broad chest and the other features youd expect on an alpha

“im going to class,sir” i stared into his eyes more difiance then i ment to showing stafe caught it and was right in my face or shoulkd i say above it.

He was so close his smell invaded my senses he smelled really good

“lecture hall doesnt open till 9 why are you lying to me” his arm was up on the door frame as he leaned even closer “dont lie” i shivered

“i think you have time,go make us breakfast” as he said this i became aware of his brothers in the room both were half dressed same as him but sitting in different places lounging.

I didnt want to argue it may lead to them continuing with the 10 lashes my back ached at the thought

of it.

I went into the kitchen stafe followed me i started making breakfast he went and sat on a corner kitchen counter watching me intently it was weird i felt like i was being tracked.

I didnt notice him behind me as i went to go to the fridge but i turned right into his chest luckily i caught myself and went around him he disapeared back to his brothers after getting his juice.

When i entered with their breakfast they were all dressed and ready to go sitting around a table i was trembling wondering what would be their next torment. I started putting their plates in front of them and laurence suddenly stood up and i jumped nearly dropping the food he took the plate and set it down.

“stand still” he held my chin lightly and nodded behind me oh god they are going to whip me in the dinning room i closed my eyes expecting pain or to fall

i felt my coat being taken off and my shirt lifted i had tried earlier to clean and bandage it i knew i had done a terrible job but i couldnt reach and my body was not bending.

I felt them take off my bandages then i felt the sting and cried out and my eyes sprung open out of reflex i grabbed laurences wrist with my hands and held on it felt horrible laurence took the cloth napkin and put it between my teeth.

“bite,stay still” he growled in my ear

i did as i was told as i felt the same sting they were cleaning the lashes baron held my hips as stafe cleaned the wounds laurence kept me from screaming ,i was very confused.they were all being gentle with me this was the weirdest feeling i had locked eyes with laurence as i winced he kept his stern look and eye contact with me.

Finely what seemed like an eternity my shirt was being put back down and my coat back on

he let go of my face and he left the room and the other two started eating i stood there like a mouse who just got healed by three cats i didnt know what to do.

“go away” growled baron and just like that i didnt need to be told twice but as i was grabbing my bag i turned to leave and ran smack into laurence he just glared so i edged away and ran out the door slowed whn i was a good distance away.

I sat down on a log when i got closer to the lecture hall my body needed to rest and i felt like my legs were going to give out from the lack of sleep alone.

“hey,how you feeling” christoff cam up to where i had been apparently daybreaming i was still confused about the doctor patient reacment that happened in the dinning room with his brothers.

“still sore look theres stanley too” i pointed out to christoff

“hey almost birthday girl” stanley slid in beside us bumping into me i winced they both got pained looks on their faces.

“speaking of coming of age,very sudtle” they smile as i acted normal they were just glad i was ok

“any plans” christoff asked

“nope non nada i am not celebrating just be glad i can finish all my work online after this lecture and i can leave” they looked confused at my statement.

“you dont have to stay for classes” stanley inqured smiling

I told them how i had arranged for the remaining work i could submitt online since it was just lectures and tests I got permission i had to do extra work and untill two are approved i have to stay b ut shortly after my birthday i could figure it out.

“what about your mate?”

“i dont care actually,im going to be able to leave,why would i jeprodize leving this place for someone i dont know” my brows furrowed

they nodded there understanding.

“well” christoff nodded

“we have a surprise for you on your birthday you should look forward too” they said smiling they looked like the cat who caught the canary.

“i am looking forward to it” i smiled happily

they dropped me at my lecture and said theyd see me soon

when i got back to the house i had the unexpected surprise of having the boys there three sets of eyes were on me as they talk to the administrator and she gushed over them making me fetch there drinks and orderves and what else they wanted.

“your up to somthing” the administrator said behind my head later hypothetical question answering it never eneded well

ive gone happy crazy i thought to myself so soon so very soon i hummed to myself.

“stop making noise and rewash the clothes” i happily obyed she kept ordering me around untill i was done making her super then she accussed me of posioning her and i was told to go sleep on the porch this was the only time the boys joined in they made a wall for the administrator and escorted me out stafe touching my shoulder baron shoved a blanket hard on my neck and laurence opened the door then closed it in my face.

even as i leaned back pulling the blanket around my shoulder as i sat on the porch chair which i wasnt a stranger too.it didnt bother me none of them bothered me

10.

I woke up the giddy feelings i had made me smile so much my face hurt a little i had an ear to ear grin whivh i relized after i saw myself in the mirror.

I didnt know whether to laugh cry scream hollar skip i wanted to do all the happy things I was feeling all these emotions the day was finely here.

I was packed and ready to go triple checked i couldnt sleep from excitment.

I was quick as a bunny doing chores

but didnt get away from a cranky administrator wanting breakfast and when informed her we were out of groceries got money thrown at me and told breakfast better be there when she is and she was going to bath.

I rushed to the grocery store after picking the money off the floor it was close but i still ran

on the way out i ran right into christoff “hey,sorry head in the clouds enjoying the day”

“you do look radiant” he smiled that lopsided grin

“ill take the compliment thank you” i laughed

“i need to get going birthday girl it involves your surprise”

i smiled as he ran off him and stanly loved surprises i sprinted back to the house

made breakfast and stood in the corner untill she dismissed me for the day I had gotten a text to meet them near stanley house.

And there they were standing there witrh cupcakes and a 2 and a 1 which at first they were holding aas 12 and made a big show of turning it to 21 i blew out the candles

then we sat and ate cake

christoff had to go he had a lecture in the afternoon and would catch us later so stanley and i went back to my house no one was suppossed to be there and i had gotten all my chores done the administrator was out

“we could chill till after christoff lecture”

“sounds good”

we were settling in my room picking a movie

when i heard voices

“whos here” i was very confused and also hoped it wasnt the three my back was healed but twitched at the thought.

I suddenly felt loud footsteps coming towards my room.

The door flung open and the three struggled to come into my room at the same time i was panicking they were a wall and had stanley and i cornered

my head went down what was said next made my head bolt up.

“mate” all three said in unison

my wolf was bounding around inside me and purring happily i felt myself respond with no choice of my own “all mine” i slaped my hand over my mouth when i met their gaze i didnt see the sterness i saw want.

laurie’s pov

we had come back earlier then expected heather had been annoying and whinning like a little kid at the party didnt want her to make a fool of us at the pack house so we brought her to the admin house.

When we got in all three of us caught a whiff of smothing in the air it was overpoer and delisious

“do you smell that” i smelled the air asking my brothers

“like a garden flower scent” stafe said

“what is that scent” baron asked

Heather whined “what scent i dont smell anything”

“its mixed with vanilla” i completed my brothers thoughts

we were confused but followed the scent we didnt know what it was but it led us to naade rooms

we pushed through the door she saw us and was shaking out of fear probably thinking we were going to hurt her again the scent the wonderful unbearable scent was clouding our brains my wolf growled my mate i could nopt bear not saying the word outloud

mate my brothers and i said together they must be talking to their wolf too just like me after all we came from the same egg.

I saw her confusion in her eyes but her mouth respomded with an all mine after she covered her mouth she must have felt the mate bond and could not resist it either.

The mate we had wanted and longed for was right there we couldnt be happier.

Naades POV

“no no no no” i stammered why were they calling me their mate and why did my wolf respond “no”

please moon goddess no.

“are you ok” Laurence asked in a worried tone Laurence was worried about me i felt like i was in the twilight zone maybe an episode of the outer limits biggest joke of the century.

This was a dream im having a nightmare before my birthday my monds jsut messing with me right?

The boys tried to console me “don't touch me”

why had the moon goddess mated me to these monsters

i had lost confidence in myself because of these three and there tag along heather she had lied constantly and i had gotten the brunt mentally exhausted.

“Naade please talk to us stop crying” baron said in a pleading tone

“so your using my name now its not cow or b***h or whatever you could think of at the time you got people to hate me your awful just awful” i cried.

“we are sorry” the brothers begged

i took a breath and knew what i had to do.

Lauries pov

“i naade welled refuse to accept Laurence baron and Stafe grander as my mates.

Those words kept repeating in my head my wolf was howling no and my heart hurt.

“what are we going to do?” Stafe looked dejected after she ran out of the room

“did you guys see how hurt and scared she was?” her friend who we met ran after her to calm her down

his name was dan brian henry justin? I dont even know her best firneds name

“we are d***s do you blame her” baron looked deflated

“we have to fix this” i said

“how” both my brothers asked as we caught that scent that drove us mad before

“shes here” the three of us ran to greet her.

“im sorry i ran i was confused please dont punish me” she stammered as she got down on her knees

“why are you kneeling” i asked her surprised but i knew why i hated my self for the way i treated her.

i walked towards her to pick her up off the floor and she was shaking as i picked her up off the floor

“what do you guys and heather want for dinner” she rushed into the kitchen we followed her confused

“heather left and went to the pack house and we dont want anything” baron said

“we just want to sit and talk” i said moving closer to her.

She backed herself up to the wall i reached up to move her hair and she covered her face flinching

her gray eyes looked at him swollen from crying and filled with fear.

“you can go now” i said sighing i could see she was tired and stressed and scared and juist wanted to run away.

She didn't wait for a second order she ran to her room

“that went well”Stafe said sarcastically

“shes petrified of us and disgusted she thinks we are monsters” baron said looking hurt

“we are monsters all the stuff we pulled on her letting heather torment her and backing up any lie about her” i muttered “we should get to sleep”

“goodnight guys” Stafe said

“night but doubt ill sleep” muttered baron

i got to my room and i smelled a familiar scent id known for a long time

“heather? I thought you had left and gone to the pack house” i said walking towards my bed and switching on the bedside light which cast all the shadows back

“i was but i missed you and decided to surprise you and make you feel better” she wiggled on my bed she was wearing a flimsy nightgown that didn't even cover her a** and her chest was on full display.

“im exhausted heather could you just go find another room” when she saw i wasn't responding to her she straddled me and pushed me onto the bed I held her hands as she tried to push on me again.

she wasn't the one i was craving and she wasn't the one i wanted touching me

i dragged her to my door and tossed her out flinging her nightgown she had taken off at her

“what is going on Lauriekins” she was saying, looking shocked and dumbfounded as i slammed the door in her face.

I went straight into the bathroom to get her scent off me then i lay in my bed thinking suddenly baron was in my mind and so was Stafe.

“can you guys sleep” Stafe grumbled.

“no” we both growled

i tossed and turned on my bed unable to sleep i kept getting traces of naade scent in the house my wolf was yearning for his mate i lay with my eyes wide open.

“this is going to be a very long night” i sighed
