Moon night saga

Athena POV

"Wake, the hour has come!" I snapped my ears in an attempt to grab the hushed whisper, but that only jolted me out of slumber. I was the only one in the room, and next to me were the extra pillows I tossed to the other side of the bed. I rubbed my eyes carefully to enhance my vision, and on realizing what was at stake, I jumped out of bed.

"Ouch..." I winced as I headed for the leather bag dangling on a nail I hammered into the east wall a week ago, uttering noiseless petitions in hopes that what I had in the bag was not tampered with by anyone.

I took down the leather bag and dipped my hand in the bag, and yes, it was there: a conspicuous gown meant to be worn without underwear. I can remember getting it from the store downtown on credit.

"Gotcha!" I grabbed it out of the bag with a warm smile on my face and made for the mirror.

It's the night of my eighteenth birthday, the moment I've waited for all my life. I took off my clothes and underwear and slipped on the gown.

It was as light as sewn feathers, and the air oozing in through the window of my room could kiss my nipples through the light conspicuous gown. I ambled to the window and looked out at the sky.

The red moon was up in the sky, but it was almost hidden by the eastern mountain. I smiled and staggered out of the room, not minding to snap the door closed.

I trudged up the stairs in haste, eased my speed once I set my feet in the hall, and waited for a while to pick out the sound of anyone around, But there was clearly no one in the hall.

I walked on tiptoes, though I knew no one would stop me from going up the mountain to get my wolf. I just didn't intend to wake or disturb anyone's sweet slumber, especially my master, Alpha Asher, whose room is not far from the hall.

I steadied my steps as I closed in on the bronze door of the hall. It was virtually a thin line between me and the hall. I reached out for the door lid, and gently, I pulled open the door and slipped off of the mansion.

The east mountain was not far from the mansion. I could see a shadowy figure from Alpha Asher estate.

I ran out of the mansion, glad that for a while, I had scuttled free from the pack, and finally, I could get my wolf under the watch of the red moon.

The night itself was thick with darkness, such that I could barely tell my right from my left, but my mind was focused. Tonight, I will get my wolf.

I ran as fast as I could, wishing I could get to the mountain before anyone in the pack noticed my absence and called for me, but then, I heard footsteps approaching.

Maybe they belong to some other people who have clocked eighteen. And we were heading to the east mountain to get their wolves to admit their mates, but I was wrong.

"Hey!" The voice was masculine and mean.

"Stop there, sneaky bitch!" another hollered.

The voices were familiar but incomplete. The Alpha of winterhaven pack has four sons, the quadruplets princes.

"Athena, I command you to stop!" A third voice came louder than the rest. He was closing in on me but I kept on running till a tough hand jabbed me from behind.

I tripped and fell to the rough earth of the east mountain road and rolled backward with such speed I couldn't comprehend, and before I knew it, I was lying in the midst of the princes.

"Finally, she's out of cover," said the last prince, the one who knocked me down.

"Do you think, after making our father scold us because of  you worthless slave, you'd be free from us?" The third one questioned.

Oh, my! Earlier today, they'd given me punishment to clean their rooms; when the Alpha found out, he gave them a strict order never to try that again since it was not my duty to do so.

 "Female servants in my pack are only allowed to stay in the kitchen and it's like, not to serve in your rooms for no reason." Alpha Asher warned!

And now, they're blaming me for that?

"What do we do with this wretch? "The second one queried.

"Torture," said the last one.

"Come on, you live in my mind," the last one who jabbed me from behind uttered. He went low on one knee and reached out for my helpless face.

They knew I dared not say a word to them because I've always been a low life, and I hadn't woken my wolf yet, nor did I have a mate.

I was just a volunteer maid at their father's mansion. I was donated by my aunt who always wanted to kick me out of my late father's properties.

"Get her ass up, let's go!" The first one thundered.

"Ple ... as," I stated tearfully, but my words merely sparked a laughing session for the four princes.

They reached out for my legs and arms and scooped me off of the earth. I wriggled and struggled to free myself from their group, but their hands were rock-hard.

They took me into a nearby log house and tied me to a bed with four poles. The bed was at the center of the room, and apart from it, there was nothing but a table in the log house.

On the table were whips, chains, blindfolds, and candles. I saw the first prince head from the table while the rest surrounded me.

"Where do we start from?" asked one of them, the last one who knocked me out of consciousness earlier." She's stinking dirty, like a piece of rotten salmon."

They laughed.

"Let's see what she's been keeping from us all this while," came the second prince. He reached out for the hem of my gown and raised it. "Jeez! She's got hair up there!"

The third one gripped my gown from the shoulder and ripped it off my body. My breasts fell out and they laughed. He grabbed them and squeezed hard on them.

"So much booby's we got here!" He cried happily.

The second prince parted my thighs and ran his fingers on my lips. I bit my lips and gnashed my teeth in disgust. Every young lady in our park must remain untouched till they find their mate, but here I am, being molested by the four princes.

"Get her lips, you!" The first prince tossed a piece of cloth to the third prince.

The third prince gripped me by the neck and forcefully stuffed the cloth in my mouth. I choked hard against the cloth and my breathing nearly seized, but he did not stop till he was sure I could not utter a word.

"Now, gentlemen, let's get to work!"
