The Quad

Scent

Barons POV

“what is wrong with you” their father roared

“father” stafe and i both started to defend laurence but our father wouldnt hear of it our reputation or time or campaign as alphas they were not to disgrace the family and def dont beat people on camera

“didnt you take care of it before leaving” their father asked loudly

“i must have missed some or they left before i got to them” stafe stated

“we are sorry father it wont happen again” laurence repeated

“your lucky that boy is still alive or youd be in deeper trouble” his father fumed.

“the punk should be dead” i growled from our mind lonk laurence told me not to say anything about naade.

“we are to protect the pack beating a member clost to death does not look good on you or your father”

their mother said calming down stafe with a touch on the shoulder.

“well behave father” we replied “we are sorry

we left his office and ran straight into heather she must have been waiting outside the office

“you guys ok that didnt sound good” she asked concered sounding

“we are fine” i muttered at her

“what were you thinking he didnt say anything that wasnt true” she continued “she is an omega”

we walked in silence ignoring heather we understand she doesnt like naade but cant she just pretend for our sake? We are friends? And naade is our mate now she should respect that if shes our friend!

We just ignored her while she dissed naade the whole way we walked to laurences room and shut the door in her face

“hey why couldnt we tell father about naade” i asked laurence

“cause he would get mad she rejected us when he insited we bring her to meet them” laurence replied

“and she still doesnt trust us with everything goign on as well shes frusterated” stafe sighed

“i wouldnt trust us either we were d**ks” i said laying down on the bed and watching my brothers upside down.

“how do we get her to trust us” stafe groaned

“i have a plan” stafe said

“what plan” i aksed very curious laurence was interested to but he just listened

“a plan we have not pulled off before im sure with this we are going to win at least a piece of her heart.”

Naades POV

i turned around to get more flour and ran right in baron

“f**K. I cursed as flour went all over us i sighed when i relized how messy the kitchen washboard

“you guys are in the way”i said pointing toi the eggshells and dirty dishes

“i just wanted to help, also first time hearing you curse its kinda hot”” said baron passing her a bowl

“this is the most you have talked to us in four days youve been ignoring us we are trying to get your attention if you keep ignoring us dont get mad when we seek it out more” stafe said passing her a cloth

“we have told you that the other maids can handle this” baron said towering over me i ignored him again and pointed and he passed me the ladel.

“mom,i mean mother” i heard laurences voice call out hed been leaning on the wall not really speaking just listening to the banter between his brothers and i

“mother what are you doing here?” baron and stafe asked together

The luna i turned around to see their mother i had only seen her really from far away and in passing.

A white flowy dress adorned her slim frame and it was beaded around her neck her long dark hair flowed and bounced behind her as she walked her smile literally gave light to the room.

She definatly didnt look like a mother she was the definiton of grace

“what a silly question,i came to see my boys” she said smiling brightly and giving each one a hug

she didnt behave how i expected i thought she would be hard snd emotionless like the alpha she was bright and peaceful i guessed they complimented each other.

The three took after thei dad in height over their mother she could be mistaken for a sister

“somthing smells wonderful who is cooking” she asked and looked into the kitchen

“good morning luna” i stuttered and cast my eyes down and bowed my head to acknowledge her rank.

Im sure thanks to her sons bumping into me all morning i looked a mess.

When i raised my eyes she was staring right into them “you are the one cooking” she asked smiling as her gaze swept over me.

“great bring me some food im starving” she said pulling the boys to sit along with her at the dinning table i quickly went to the kitchen to bring some food i hope this tastes good enough for her.

heather had walked in while i was plating and i could hear her getting greeted and asked to sit with them all.”where have you been my girl what a happenstance for you to be here just as we are all together,wonderful come sit and have breakfast”

so wonderful i thought that she probably followed the luna in to create such a senario i finished serving and they started eating after that i took my place in the corner to wait for instructions.

“what is this?” she sounded startled and i stood still panic felt in my core if i upset the luna in our first meeting cause she didnt like the food i made for her.

Heather cast her gazr on me she knew i was panicing she had cause it so many times she knew what it looked like but so did the boys and they looked at me to their mom looking worried.

“it tastes bad doesnt it” heather said to her “hope it doesnt make you sick”

“no i was just surprised by how good it is” staring at me with curiousity she turned so that her body was towrds me and asked me to come forward she place a hand on my arm “could you make this another time for my husband as well its very tasty”

I stammered as my heart swelled “of...of course!” it was a nice feeling she even had placed her hand on my arm that still had stuff on it from the kitchen which was a terrible mess thanks to her boys “helping”

she was different from the alpha i noted again she had an air of authority with out making you fear her you wanted to listen to her.

Heather was glaring at me as the boys pipped up to agreee with their mother “ i agree mother naade is an excellent cook” stafe winked at me

baron nodded in aggreement and heather looked triggered i didnt care what she thought the luna complimented me.

“i have a question boys if i may...have you found your mates yet?” she glanced at them wiping the side of her mouth and placing the napkin down all her movements seemd so elegant to me

“no” they all said at once looking at each other” I stood with a blank expression on my face as if it didnt bother me but in my core it did.

“pity its a wonderful feeling i really hope you find her soon and your dad and i get to meet her”

she concentrated on her food as she spoke i was elated that she was liking my food.

“ok boys im going to leave you so you may continue your day sans mommy it was also nice to see you heather” she said slowly getting up

“so soon” stafe asked

“oh my boy” she laughed placing a hand under his chin at the door, you could see the traits she had given the boys as they all stood by her the three had her hair but only baron and stafe had her curls and eyes that green was def from her while christoff and laurences eyes came from their dad.

She wondered where christoff had been she made a mental not to text him later he was probably busy with class.

“dont act like you three missed me if i hadnt stopped by i probably wouldnt have seen you for another week” she gave affection to each boy almost getting hidden in each hug.

“oh dont be sorrowful mother we will visit more from now on” stafe kissed her cheek promising

“wonderful ill look forward to it” she smiled that wonderful smile “naade I hope truly that i get to eat your food again soon” with that she took her leave “thank you,luna” i happily called out to her

“naade you have the lecture wondering if you want a...”

I gnored laurence and walked to my room not listening to him.

It was a nice day and i got to my lecture on foot i didnt let the boys drive me and i ignored heather i didnt care about any of that not even the people pointing as i sat and sketched waiting for the lecture hall to open.

“you look happy today” christoff said sitting next to me

“hey i was thinking about you yesterday and do i” i smiled at him

“so spill why so happy” he handed me a coffee

“your mom came to the admin house today” i replied

“really” he looked confused

“she was looking for your brothers” he looked less confused

“were they bugging you again” he smiled

“howd you...” he chuckled at my surprised expression

“they have been runing around like puppies chasing their tails about you its not unknown” he shook his head smiling.

“anyway,she liked my food she complimented it” my smile got huge.

“i saw the video” he looked concerend “my brother creamed the guy it was horrible”

“i think your going to have to take my brothers for being sincere this time naade” christoff never took his brothers side when it came to tormenting me so i was a little surprised.

“still keep your gaurd up and i can keep an eye out from my side and im sure stanley will keep his ears open” he said at stanley happen to be stroling up.

“ears open” he asked

“talking about the three” replied christoff

“yes def i will keep ears open about those guys and there tag along cant forget about her “ he said sipping his coffee and handing one to me and christoff.

“did you guys hear about the pack trip?” stanley asked as he settled and pear over my shoulder while i drew.

“what trip” i hadnt heard anything about a trip

“its all over the chool website all expensis paid trip to another pack ground just have to bring you somthing fancy to wear one of the nights and the regular suitcase for a trip” stanley stated

“yah i was told about it mom and dad are arranging it” christoff said “ i havent seen you i thought everyone knew”

“im not going” i stated

“but you have to” the boys echod together and stanley continued their thought “you always wanted to see other packs and this is paid for”

“ill think about it” i sipped my coffee

after the lecture they walked me to the spilt off christoff and stanley they had another lecture but i was free for the afternoon and def didnt want to spend it in the pack house.

Not even a minute later i hadnt even gotten out of the second part of the pack lecture hall

“you should be ashamed of yourself” i heard a voice behind me

“excuse me?” i turned around to see henrys friend standing behind me

“its your fault they used to be friends you ruined everything” he said loudly

“i made him stop remeber” i pointed out

“he beat him up because of you” she also pointed out

“why they defend a loser like you is beyond me” she turned to leave and teo other girls had come out of no where and bumped into me i was teribly confused where had they come form i fell to my knees the three of them laughed calling me names and giggling to thenselves.

I felt an arm lifting me up and stanley and christoff were picking me up.

They were brushing me off when the speakers came on “EMERGENCY ALERT! Everyone to the open hall now the cafiteria is on fire please proceed to the open lecture hall the voice orded everyone to start going to the open hall.

“i can see the cafiteria building out the window there was no smoke” i said and also thought about the voice on the speaker it had sounded like stafe.

We got to the open hall after queing for the elvator to take us there when we got there it looked like the whole pack was there.

On the middle platform stood stafe “now that everyone is here there was no fire sorry for the scare we just wanted everyone to come here at once and it seemed the fasted way”

everyone was whispering and muttering.

“quiet everyone” baron ordered and in a wave the hall quieted

The hall lights dimmed and slow music started to play the curtains parted and there was laurence in the middle of the platform his brothers joined him they dropped flowr petals as the walked towards and took post on either side of him.

“we wish to tell the person that we care about that for all the things that we have done we regret the actions of our past and hope she can forgive us for how foolish we have been.” laurence began

“we want to tell her she means the world to us and want her by our side” baron continued

“she is the most beautiful girl and she is in our hearts” stafe said with a grand smile

i looked up at christoff who was smirking at his brothers almost with pride as stanley whispered in my ear “i think they mean you” he nudged me even he was watching with interest.

Everyone was talking around us

“whoever won over the triplets sure is lucky”

“i wish it was me im envious”

“naade wellend, we want to ask you a question” stafe bounded like he ussually did off stage and was back in a second

he held up a piece of board like you use for the elementery science fair it said please be ours with a heart times three on it.

“will you be our girlfriend” baron asked

laurence came up to where i was standing with his brother and stanley the crowd parted for him

Heather looked so plae i thought she was going to faint

time seemed to stop it was like everyone in the hall was waiting for my answer.

20.

Laurence POV

we asked and stood waiting for her answer she looked shocked girls were screaming and some literally fainted my heart thudded in my ears and threw our wolves we could hear it happening to each other

i had never felt this nervous or anxious in all my life and neither had my brothers.

She smiled at each of us my brothers had come up to where i stood in front of her we smiled back she looked happy and then her face fell she looked panicked turned around and left.

I looked at my brother christoff he shrugged i dont know and took off after her so did her friend we just stood there in disbeleif.

“shes not going to come back is she” stafe asked staring at her retreating

“no” baron said sounding sad

they were caught up with the hurt in their heart when they heard the whispering around themselves

“that girl is unbeleivable”

“did that just happen”

“that lowlife how rude”

“EVERYONE GET OUT” laurence shouted and they all started to leave but the whispering continued

I had never been so embarrased in my life i didnt want to be this cheesy but stafe had said it would work baron and him had convinced me it would and before she ran away it looked like it did.

“she probably thought we were tricking her again” baron sighed

stafe eyes lit up “ i have another idea

i rolled my eyes at him

“the trip guys that our father has set up” stafe jumped up and down

“what about it” i asked him

“ wed have a whole week to convince her” he smiled at me

we headed out of the great hall some still stared and whispered about us but they didnt dare say anything to us.

“you look happy for guys that got rejected” heather smiled leaning on our car.”she disrespected you guys in fornt of lots of the pack.”she excalimed

“we deserved it,i would have done the same thing afer all weve done to her in the past” stafe said

“get in the car” baron said she stared in disbelief i shrugged at her and got in the car.

“why are you guys rushing home anyway” she asked

“we need to pack for the trip and then help naade pack” stafe answered

“your not bringing her are you” she said shaking her head

“why not” my brothers challenged her in a stare

“but...” she was going to protest and thought better of it. “fine”

we split form heather as soon as the car was parked and headed to the admin house and went to find naade.

We entered her room and it seemed she had just gotten home as well cause she was coming out of her bathroom and only had a little towel in front of her

“WHAT THE HELL...” she screamed “GET OUT” she yelled throwing a shoe then a book and other things at us.

I with great difficulty peeled my eyes off her exposed skin that was dripping with water the boys and i backed out reluctently she slammed her door with a bang.

The administrator came out saw us and kept walking with a nod.

Naades POV

i had to slow my breathing they had seen me almost nude good thing i hadnt tossed my towel on the bed like usual or they would have seen the whole show.

I had expected them to come storming into my room angry with how i handled the situation i was touched by the roses and banner and the words but just as i had wanted to accept them i had a flash of all the torment and i panicked i really should have handled it better then i did.but also what if being their gf was a prank too it would hurt worse then asking me maybe to dance at some point during a dance had if i let myself care my heart could be shattered into a million peices and i didnt want to be broken that way.

I had this convo with their brother and stanley earlier before they left for their lecture.

“are you dressed” they asked from the closed doorbell

“i am” i said and they all came in my room i was sitting on my bed brushing my hairbrush

“before you say anything we are sorry again for everything we promise this isnt a prank” stafe said

“we promise to treat you right and makeup for everything and make you forget how we hurt you we were stupid and ask forgivness” baron said both boys leaned on either side of my bed

“we want you and only you” laurence sat on the bed i was surrounded by all three laurence took my hands.

I removed my hands from his my brain wasnt functioning properly with their scent clouding me again

“i have to study” i opened my book on my lap and started to read.

They honestly didnt know what to do stafe looked at the book i was reading and started reading the pages.

Baron got up and was walking around they tried different things to get my attention i was distracted but didnt mind i kept staring at my book and turning a page once in awhile.

Laurence finely got up and went to my closet and brought out clothes

“what so you think you are doing?” i couldnt keep quiet anymore

“packing your stuff” stafe joined him and started folding clothes

“why” i inquired watching the boys pick out outfits and folding them together

“for the pack trip” laurence said

my face frowns “im not going anywhere”

naades pov

“come on naade” christoff and stanley yelled together

“im coming in a minute ok 5” i yelled back i was out a minute later

“what happened to 5” christoff smiled

“suitcase wouldnt close” i laughed

“lets go come on” stanley complained he was such a stickler for scheduals sometimes but it was a good thing because i was very often late.

“hi stanley beautiful morning isnt it” he rolled his eyes at me and i giggled

“what took so long” he asked as we loaded our things

“i had to wait till the three left to pack and get ready” i stated

“you told them you werent going right” stanley asked

I nodded at him they three had bugged me for three days to go even buying me a new suitcase and some fancy dresses and clothes to wear.

I had told them no but after thinking about it i couldnt let the trip pass i didnt know when id get another chance.

“theyll see you on the plan” he said

“nope they are taking the pack jet” christoff inturupted smiling

“did you get that cargiver for your mom” i asked stanley he nodded

at the airport just intime even with the security we got through with no problems

“yay we made it” i was so excited on the plan christoff and stanley went to their assigned seats and i went to mine i found it and sat down i didnt realize who was sitting next to me untill i leaned back and almost imediatly felt my face fall and mouth hang open.

“hello darling mate” stafe smiled

“dont you have a jet your suppossed to be on” i ask getting over my intial shock

“your not a very good liar naade” baron said from behind me

“we didnt beleive you that you werent coming” laurence said looking at the book in his hand from the seat across the isle from me.

“i dont know why you boys wanted to fly like this there is no room” i heard heather complained

“we told you to go to the jet” laurence answed still reading his book sounding annoyed

“i didnt want to be alone” she pouts from a seat beside baron

“we are here cause of our mate we go where she goes stop complaining” baron growled as heather gave me a hateful stare from between the seats.

They announced we would be taking off soon and to fasten seatbelsts i looked around i couldnt figure out the seatbelt i looked at stafe but his was already done up and i didnt see how

“let me help” he offered i didnt move and figiured being difficult wasnt the answered

“yes please” i looked down as he did it up and didnt raise them “thank you”

“your welcome”he was smiling as he settled back in his chair.

The plan got ready for take off and i didnt relize i was gripping the hand rests untill i felt i hand ontop of mine.

“you ok” laurence had leaned over seeing me tense.i said nothing He nodded to his brother and leaned back to his chair.

Without a word stafe unfurled my fingers and held my hand i gripped his hand tight

“itll be ok” stafe talked calmly

in the sky i took my hand back quickly i peered out the window and the tiny little clouds amazed me

i took out my sketchbook and zoned into doing that they came her to bug me and i wasnt going to give in.

“hey naade” i didnt answered

“do you mind if i get my bag i need somthing from it” stafe asked

i get unbuckled and out of his way standing in the isle making sure my butt isnt in his brothers faces much to their disatisfaction

he took his time looking through his bag his shirt is tight enough and hugs his body properly showing off the muscle underneath that flexes while he searches

the plane dips with turbalance as we are standing there and i am thrown into him as he turns right into his arms his chest is solid he smells really goo i could not help it i breathed his scent in.

“did you just smell me” he asked trying not to smile

“i did not” i denied it i yelled at myself in my head what was i thinking god im dumb he did smell really nice though i couldnt control myself it just happened

I pushed him away he kept teasing

“you totally did,did you like it? You can sniff me all day long i am not complaining” he looked elated and was grinning his brothers were stifflinf there smiles as well pretending this wasnt going on but fully aware i was going red. The plans dips and i fall right into his arms
