OSCAR

We could all feel how stressed and upset Ava was, and that’s before you even get to the pain where she felt three marked mate bonds snap. And, of course, she nearly had one forced upon her by someone that wasn’t her fated mate.

She wanted to mark us all again so badly, but she was terrified. She was terrified that Elijah’s mark was still going to stick and that we’d have difficulty removing it, unless he marked someone else.

From what we could tell, if we were interpreting all the legends correctly, is that he only managed to remove hers just because her bond wouldn’t be complete until she had all four. Until that point… the bond just hadn’t cemented yet.

We’d have to try to talk to Alpha Michael to see if his scholars found anything, or, hopefully one of us could still reach Selene to find out how we could safely do this… but right now, we are in the dark with broken mate bonds and an Alpha Queen who wants to give up.

  • Bullied By My Four Mates   FOUR KINGS FOR CHRISTMAS: Chapter 24: Family Time

    AVAThe next few days passed in a whirlwind of activity. I was hunched over my desk, pen in hand, as I finalized the last of the invitations. My hand cramped from the repetitive motion, but a smile played on my lips.I glanced up at my mates, scattered around our private dining room. Callum's brow was furrowed as he reviewed security plans, while Noah and Theo pored over a map of the festival grounds. Oscar caught my eye and winked, sliding a steaming cup of tea towards me."Thanks," I murmured, inhaling the soothing aroma of chamomile. As I took a sip, a thought struck me. "Oh! I almost forgot to mention..."Four pairs of eyes turned to me expectantly."I invited our parents to arrive early," I said, excitement fluttering

  • Bullied By My Four Mates   FOUR KINGS FOR CHRISTMAS: Chapter 23: Getting Ready

    AVAThe Crown Suite was a whirlwind of colour and laughter as we decorated for Christmas. Tinsel glittered everywhere, catching the light and sending sparkles dancing across the walls. I perched precariously on a ladder, trying to hang a particularly stubborn strand of lights.“Careful up there, love,” Theo called from below, his hands steadying the ladder.I grinned down at him. “Don’t worry, I’ve got this under con—” My words were cut off as I wobbled slightly, eliciting a chorus of concerned noises from my mates.“Maybe I should do that part,” Noah suggested, already moving toward me.I waved him off. “I’m fine, really. Just focus on not tangling yourself

  • Bullied By My Four Mates   FOUR KINGS FOR CHRISTMAS: Chapter 22: Love

    AVAI placed my fork down, feeling pleasantly full and warm. The energy in the room shifted subtly, a familiar tension building. Callum’s eyes met mine across the table, the heat in his gaze sending a shiver down my spine.“Shall we retire for the evening?” Oscar suggested, his tone deceptively casual.I nodded, my heart rate already rising. As we moved toward the bedroom, anticipation thrummed through our bond.Noah reached me first and pulled me close. His kiss was gentle but insistent, and I melted into it. When we parted, I turned to Oscar, who waited patiently. His lips met mine with passionate intensity, leaving me breathless.Theo was next, his kiss tender and reverent. “My queen,” he m

  • Bullied By My Four Mates   FOUR KINGS FOR CHRISTMAS: Chapter 21: Date Night

    AVAThe sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in swathes of crimson and gold. I felt the familiar tingle of anticipation as we stepped outside, the cool evening air caressing my skin. The Queen’s Guard fanned out around us, a protective circle of silent strength.“Ready?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Four pairs of eyes met mine, each burning with an intensity that made my heart race. Callum nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. “Always, my love.”I closed my eyes, letting the shift take me. It had been a rush of power, of primal energy surging through every cell. When I opened them again, the world was sharper—scents and sounds amplified. My midnight-black fur rippled in the breeze, the silver moon on my chest

  • Bullied By My Four Mates   FOUR KINGS FOR CHRISTMAS - Chapter 20: Stronger Together

    AVAI sank into the plush armchair, my body feeling like lead. The room was dimly lit, shadows dancing on the walls as the fireplace crackles softly. Oscar lay on the chaise lounge nearby, his chest rising and falling steadily. Relief washed over me, but it was tinged with a lingering anxiety that refused to dissipate."How are you feeling, love?" Theo's voice broke through my thoughts.I met his concerned gaze, and I knew my eyes were full of pain. "Like I've been hit by a truck, then run over by a train for good measure."A weak chuckle escaped Oscar's lips. "That's my girl, always with the colourful descriptions."My heart clenched. He nearly died saving me, and there he was, still trying to make me smile. I reached out, grasping his hand tightly. "We need to talk about what happened," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Callum leaned against the mantle, his jaw clenched. "Agreed. We can't let something like this happen again."I could feel the weight of their worry, their lov

    AVAI couldn't bear it anymore. The pain of feeling Oscar slipping away was too much. With a surge of desperate strength, I pushed against Theo's chest. "Let me go," I choked out, my voice barely above a whisper.Theo's arms loosened, surprise flashing across his face. I took advantage of his momentary hesitation and scrambled away, my legs giving out as I reached Oscar's side. I collapsed to my knees, my hand finding his."Oscar," I whispered, squeezing his fingers. They felt so cold. Too cold. "Don't you dare leave me."I could feel our bond stretching, thinning like a gossamer thread about to snap. Panic clawed at my throat. This couldn't be happening. Not after everything we'd been through."Ava," Callum's deep voice c

  • Bullied By My Four Mates   FOUR KINGS FOR CHRISTMAS - Chapter 18: The Interrogation

    CALLUMI could feel Theo's anger radiating off him in waves as we strode down the dimly lit corridor toward Sera's cell. My own fury simmered just beneath the surface, barely contained."Remember, we need information," I said, my voice low and tight. "Don't let her provoke you."Theo's jaw clenched. "I'll try."As we approached the heavy iron door, I took a deep breath, steeling myself. The guard unlocked it with a harsh clang that echoed off the stone walls.Sera sat on a narrow cot, her raven hair tumbling over her shoulders. Those unnerving violet eyes locked onto us as we entered."Well, well," she purred. "To what do I owe the pleasure of a royal visit?"

    OSCARI couldn’t tear my eyes away from Ava's lifeless gaze as the healers swarmed around us like agitated bees. The scent of herbs and magic hung thick in the air, mingling with the acrid tang of fear emanating from my brothers and me. My fingers tightened around Ava's limp hand, desperately seeking some flicker of response."Damn it, why isn't anything working?" I growled, frustration boiling over as another potion fails to elicit even a twitch from our mate.Noah placed a steadying hand on my shoulder. "They're doing everything they can, Oscar. We have to be patient."Patient? How could I be patient when the love of my life is lying there like an empty shell? The urge to lash out, to find that witch and tear her apart with my bare hands, was nearly overwhelming.

  • Bullied By My Four Mates   FOUR KINGS FOR CHRISTMAS - Chapter 16: The Ritual

    AVAThe moon's absence cast an eerie darkness over the ritual circle, the air thick with anticipation and the scent of herbs. I took a deep breath, steadying myself as I stepped into the silver-etched boundary of the circle, my heart pounding against my ribs like a caged bird. Sera's violet eyes gleamed in the flickering candlelight, her raven hair seeming to absorb the shadows around us. I could feel the tension radiating from my Kings through our bond, their worry and love intertwining with my own determination."Are you ready to begin, Your Majesty?" Sera's melodic voice carried an undercurrent of excitement that set my nerves on edge.I swallowed hard, casting a glance at my mates. Callum's jaw was clenched, his blue eyes stormy with concern. Theo's hands were balled into fists at his sides, while Noah's gaze was fix
