Prologue
Growing up the only girl in your family, besides your mom and aunts is tiring. Being surrounded by overprotective dads, uncles, brothers and cousins is exhausting. But I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world. My family is my whole heart. I'm my momma's best friend. All my dad's Princess. And the calm to all four of my brother’s storm. I am the apple of my family's eye...and they are my life. I would die for any one of them, and I know they would die for me.
My name is Stella Aria Rossi. Daughter of The Alpha, Elle Lively. Yes, my mom is The Alpha of all Alpha's. She's kind of badass like that. My bio dad, who I call Papa is Alpha Luca Rossi. He and my mom grew up together as best friends and eventually found out they were mates when they turned 18. But you see my momma is a special she-wolf who was granted three mates, meaning I get two bonus dads and four brothers. My dad is Alpha Nick Rossi, also my Papa's triplet. My Pa is Alpha Jayden Crestfield. I don't call them my bonus dads, I just call them Papa, Dad, or Pa. They're all equally my father. My parents are the Alpha’s to the New Red Moon Pack, one of the largest and strongest packs in the world. We have over 3,000 pack members, all of which are happy and thriving.
I am currently 17 years old, turning 18 in two weeks. My wolf, Belle, is super excited for us to turn 18, since that means we’ll meet our mate. Me on the other hand, well, let’s just say I’m less excited. It’s not that I don’t want to meet him. Of course, I want to meet him. It’s just that the odds of him being a pack member are slim. I’m an Alpha’s daughter, not just that but The Alpha’s daughter. Which means, my mate is likely to be an Alpha or maybe a Beta. Since my brothers are the future Alpha’s to this pack, and my cousins are the future Beta’s, it’s not looking too promising. I mean there is a chance a Gamma could be my mate, which would mean my best friend Greyson. But I highly doubt that. With that being said, with a mate comes leaving my family. Something I don’t even want to think about.
My brothers and I have been together our whole lives. We have a saying, ‘From womb to tomb,’ and we all mean every word of that. They’re a part of me and I am a part of them. I would die for any one of them, and I know for a 100% fact that they would die for me. We may not be quintuplets, but we might as well have been. We shared a womb and have been by each other’s side since the moment we were born. I know the Moon Goddess created a mate for me, the other half of my soul. But there are four pieces of my soul that already live outside of my body, and the idea of ever leaving them scares me. I’m safe with them around. I don’t have to be scared or nervous about anything with them with me. If I leave them…I don’t know if I could. Well, on another note. How about I introduce you to my womb sharers.
First, we have the first-born set of twins. Leonardo Nikolas Rossi or Leo. He’s the serious one. He was born first out of us five, so he takes being the ‘eldest’ very seriously. He’s a born leader, well, all my brothers are, but Leo is on a whole other level. He’s also the most protective of me. Then, we have his twin brother, Sebastian Chaz Rossi or Bash. He’s the party boy, but one of the smartest boys I know. He’s the one you go to when you want to study or party. The fun, yet intelligent one.
After those two, we have the second-born set of twins. Matteo Jayden Crestfield or Teo. He’s the quiet observer, also the one who has a temper that is quick to go off. He punches first and asks questions later. The number of boys who have had his fist in their face for talking “inappropriately” towards me is too many to count. Lastly, we have his twin and my sweetest brother, Theodore Blu Crestfield or Theo. He’s my shoulder to cry on, mainly because I know he won’t explode at the smallest piece of information.
Those four are my best friends and protectors. Losing one of them would be like losing a limb or better yet an organ. One I couldn’t survive without. I love them all more than anyone could ever imagine possible.
Now that I’ve introduced my parents and brothers, next we have my aunts, uncles and cousins. There’s Uncle Sam and Aunt Aria, who have two boys, my cousins Noah and Liam. Noah is a month younger than us, and Liam is three years younger. Noah is one of the future Beta’s of the pack.
Uncle Jake and Aunt Chiara, who have three boys. My twin cousins, Elliot and Eric who are nine months younger than us. And their brother Ethan who is two years younger than us. Eliot and Eric are the other future Beta’s of the pack.
After my blood-related relatives, we have Uncle Jaxson and Aunt Sarah. They’re technically not related to me by blood but they are to my brothers Teo and Theo. They have two sons as well, my best friend Greyson or Grey, he’s a week older than us and happens to be the packs future Gamma. Along with his brother Henry who is five years younger than us.
So, yeah. That’s my big, blended family. Life has been going great lately…well, it was until a certain fire burned down the neighboring packs school. Things were about to get a whole lot more interesting around here. Whether it would be good or bad, yeah that was still undecided.
