Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย In the Heat of The Moment
Loraineโs POV I woke to the scents of clean sheets mixed with pine and citrus scents that wrapped around me as tightly as the duvet. Blinking against the harsh glare of light in the room, I found Alpha Hunter sprawled on the bed beside me, his eyes trained on my face. His heavy arm was a solid weight on my waist. โWhereโhow long did I sleep?โ Alpha Hunter brushed down my hair. โNot long. We still have some hours till evening.โ His face was tight, and the pain behind his eyes was as palpable as my own. โTomorrow, I get to see your wolf, Loraine. I really cannot wait to meet her, but then it is getting harder and harder to restrain myself from claiming you. You are close to your heat, and being close like this is dangerous if you are not going to choose all of us.โ Despite his words, he reached out and pulled me against him, burying my face in his shoulder while his arms encircled me tightly. The sound of his roaring heartbeat echoed through my flesh, spurring my own. โIt is not

Loraineโs POV The chill of the evening sir prickles my skin. Perspiration is escaping from my mouth, and I hug myself. The moonlight bathed everything in a golden glow, making the snow glisten like shards of glass scattered everywhere on the ground. Kris hugs me from behind, pressing me into his chest. He buries his nose in my neck, sniffing me. โReady?โ I nod. Itโs not like I havenโt always done this, but with the winter solstice, I feel some sort of pull in my chest. And then thereโs my mates, watching me expectantly. A gust of wind sweeps through the clearing, carrying with it the scent of pine and the crispness of the snow-covered ground. The air feels electric as if the world itself is holding its breath, waiting for me. Alpha Hunter steps towards me, cupping my face with his hand. โYou are looking nervous.โ He leans in and places a kiss on my lips. Itโs more like a brush of his lips on mine, but it still sends a chill down my spine. โJust do your thing. So, we can run thr

Loraineโs POV Exhaustion hits us all, and we fall asleep in Alpha Hunter's bed, my mates surrounding me. We are all still recovering from the fun night we had during the winter solstice, but thatโs not all. The brothers are going to leave today, and I want to keep that from happening for as long as I can. I wake up to find Killianโs face as close to mine as it can get without actually touching. Since that first time that I arrived here and Killian lost control, this is the most intimate we have gotten again, and I have a feeling I wouldnโt feel it for a long time. Or till I make my choice between all of them. If I shut my eyes, I can feel his hand pressed against my cheeks and the soft cascades of his breath as he whispers calming words to me. but when I open my eyes, he is still asleep. I want to raise my hand and brush his face, but Iโm scared of ending this moment between us. A moment he might not even be aware of. The same intensity that I had always seen in him is stil

Loraineโs POV Falling asleep after the Alpha brothers are gone is almost impossible. When I wake up six hours later, I feel as though my head is full of air and not much else. I lie there for a minute, looking up at the ceiling of my room as I get my shit together enough to get into the day. There are a lot of reasons why I donโt want to move right now, and I just lie there and think of all of them. I try not to think of the guys and the fact that this is the first time Iโm being left alone by myself without any of them being here. When I find myself worrying about them too much, I head over to Alpha Hunterโs room to use his shower and get ready for my new responsibility. Thereโs an itch under my skin to the absence of my mates, the same ones that had been there when Iโd woken up and found them all gone. They had not even said goodbye. I take twice as long as I usually do in the shower as I try to scrub the ache in my chest away. I get dressed quickly and head to the kitche

Loraineโs POV The pack meeting hall is loud and buzzing with people. Long tables are filled with food and people digging into food. Maddox leads us to a table in the corner. One that gives us a good view of the hall but still keeps us out of the main hustle. I sit beside Sasha, who is already helping herself to a plate of food, while Maddox, Jack, and Kade settle around us. โI know I can finish this whole plate before you chew down five spoons,โ Kade says, eyeing the mountain of food Sasha is piling up. Sasha smiles, thrilled to take on his challenge. โYouโre on, loser.โ She hollers, grabbing a fork. I shake my head at Kade. Iโm not sure he wants to challenge Sasha, especially when it comes to food. I laugh, watching them both as they wolf down their food. It's funny because Kade is not actually tryingโas much as Sashaโbut he still empties his plate before Sasha has gone halfway through hers. โCome on, Luna-in-training,โ Jack says with a grin, pulling my attention from Sasha

Loraineโs POV I wake with a jolt, my head pounding like a drum in my skull. Silk sheets rasp against my skin, and harsh morning light filters in through the window, almost striking me blind. Memories of last night rush through my visionโmore beer with the guys, more stupid stories, more thoughts of my Alphas. Werewolves donโt usually get drunkโour drunken episodes never last past a few minutesโbut the hangovers we get are usually very bad. It's like our wolves refuse to do something about the pain just to punish us or something. Recalling that I still have work to do down at the camping sites sends me sitting upright. Shit! How late am I? A wave of nausea rushes through me, sending me back down. Shit! shit! shit! I canโt lie here all day. Scrambling out of bed, I wince as my body screams in protest. I rush to the bathroom, rushing through the shower and getting dressed. My phone buzzes weaklyโI'm quite certain itโs Sasha or one of the betas. Relief washes over me when I see tha

Loraineโs POV Arrogant as ever. Kylie snarls in my chest. Despite myself, I smile. Iโm glad she hates him as much as I do. Still, I could not stop thinking about what he might want. The timing? Is it only a coincidence that heโs coming to see me now when the Alpha brothers arenโt here? and heโs not using the front door. I slump into the chair, holding my head in my hands. I have enough on my plate to deal with for him to add worrying about something like this to it. The camp is now a complete mess. The supply trucks are weeks late. Maddox is scrambling to keep things together, and I still havenโt figured out this thing with Kade, which is a whole other thing I canโt even think about right now. I glance at my blank screen, wondering for the umpteenth time why heโs contacting me out of the blue after all this time. If itโs an elaborate joke, I willโwell, I wonโt do anything, but it better not be that heโs messing with me. By the time it's close to nine p.m., Iโm pacing the livin

Loraineโs POV I donโt sleep till morning. As much as I try not to think about it, I canโt take my mind off of Gordon and the new game heโs playing. I had the half-mind to confront him about my parentโs death, but the brothers are still conducting their investigation, and I did not want to. Whatever. But why the hell would he say he wanted me back? He chose Jennifer. Ripped our friendship into two, and for what? Power! Anger mixed with disgust swirled in my chest. How dare Gordon show up here acting like Iโm something he can just... reclaim? Like Iโm a piece of property? How dare he? I slam my hand down on the table, wincing at the pain that ricochets through my arm. โI am not yours, Gordon.โ I hiss harshly into the room. โYou donโt fucking own me.โ I let out a long, shaky breath. I cannot imagine that there was a time I thought we had a shot. I must have been blind and stupid. Why the hell do I feel so unsteady? My buzzing phone and a message from Sasha remind me that I am ru

Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย The Aftermath
Loraineโs POV One year later Warm sunlight streamed through the curtains, waking me from the most peaceful sleep I could remember. I stretched lazily, my smile growing as I realized I wasnโt alone. Soft lips trailed along my shoulder, followed by a whisper. โGood morning, my love,โ Hunterโs voice was low and husky, his breath tickling my ear. I turned my head, meeting his dark, playful eyes. โMorning,โ I murmured, still groggy but already melting under his gaze. Before I could say more, I felt another hand slide across my waist. Prestonโs familiar laugh filled the room. โYouโre hogging her, Hunter. Move over.โ I rolled over, finding him smirking at me, his blond hair adorably tousled. โIs this how every morning is going to start from now on?โ I teased. โOnly the best for our Luna,โ Killian chimed in, leaning against the doorframe with a tray of coffee and pastries. โBreakfast in bed?โ Kris appeared behind him, shaking his head. โYouโre all going to spoil her.โ Hunter smirked
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย Waking up
Loraineโs POV The beeping of machines was the first thing I heard when I woke up. My body felt heavy, and every inch of me ached. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking against the harsh hospital lights. Familiar voices reached my ears, filled with worry and relief. โSheโs waking up!โ Prestonโs voice cracked. I turned my head slightly to see him standing by my side, his eyes rimmed red as if he hadnโt slept in days. โLoraine,โ Hunter whispered, his hand reaching out to gently touch mine. His usual confident demeanor was replaced by raw emotion. โYouโre okay. Youโre safe now.โ Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw all four of themโHunter, Preston, Killian, and Krisโhovering around me like protective sentinels. โWhatโฆ what happened?โ I croaked, my voice raspy. Killian knelt down beside me, brushing a strand of hair from my face. โYou were kidnapped. The warriors that have been investigating it say that Gordon and Jenniferโฆโ His jaw tightened, but he took a deep breath. โWe found you ju
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย Saving her
Hunterโs POV The abandoned warehouse the tracker led us to was ahead; its huge structure was sharp and terrifying against the night sky. The air was thick with tension, and my pulse roared in my ears as we pulled up to a screeching halt. Preston was the first to leap out, phone in hand, tracking Loraineโs location. โThe signal ends here,โ Preston said, his voice tight with worry. He turned the screen toward us. โSheโs inside somewhere.โ Kris gritted his teeth. โLetโs spread out. She could be hurt.โ I grabbed his arm. โNo one goes alone. If something happens, weโre stronger together, and I need every one of you alive, or else Loraine will kill me.โ Gideon nodded in agreement, his face grim. โHunterโs right. Split into pairs. Shout if you find anything.โ We crept through the warehouse, every creak of the floorboards putting us on edge. I stuck close to Killian, my hand gripping the handle of my blade. The place reeked of rust and damp, but there was another smell tooโblood. My st
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย The Fear
Hunterโs POV The excitement we all felt was electric. The Lycan ball wasnโt just any event; it was monumental. This was the night that our pack would become an official capital for the Lycans. Tonight, weโPreston, Kris, Killian, and Iโwould also make our first public appearance as Loraineโs fiancรฉs. And, if everything went as planned, this ball would pave the way for our wedding, set to happen immediately after. I tightened my cufflinks that had Lorraine's name on them and turned to Kris, who was fixing his tie in front of the mirror. โDo you think theyโll announce us as Loraineโs mates? Or do we just, you know, casually stroll in and let the stares do the work?โ Kris smirked at my reflection. โWhy stroll when you can strut? Let them talk. This is our moment.โ Killian popped his head into the room, his shirt still unbuttoned, revealing a chiseled chest. โYouโre all overthinking it. Loraine will steal the show the moment she walks in. Weโre just accessories tonight.โ โSpeak for
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย The ball!
Loraineโs POV The air buzzed with excitement as I stood in front of my vanity, smoothing my hands over the soft fabric of my gown. Tonight was the Lycansโ grand ball, an event so prestigious that even Sasha, who normally didnโt care for formalities, was squealing with excitement. Sasha burst into my room with Chloe trailing behind her, both carrying armfuls of dresses. โLoraine!โ Sasha exclaimed, her eyes bright. โYou have to help us pick! Chloe and I are determined to make an impression tonight.โ Chloe giggled, holding up a shimmering silver gown against her small frame. โI heard the Lycan King himself might be there. Imagine if he notices one of us!โ I chuckled, turning away from the mirror. โYou two are acting like teenagers. Whatโs gotten into you?โ Sasha placed her hands on her hips, mock glaring at me. โExcuse me, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Lycans, Loraine. Lycans! Do you know how rare it is to even see one in person, let alone meet their king?โ Chloe nodded
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย Gordonโs Rage
3rd POV The tension between Alpha Gordon and Jennifer crackled in the air like a brewing storm. The two stood in the dense forest near the treeline, their voices echoing through the trees, harsh and biting. โYou fucking bitch! You ruined everything!โ Gordon snarled, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. His sharp, gray eyes glinted dangerously, a mix of fury and frustration. Jennifer folded her arms across her chest, her stance defiant. โFirst of all, watch your fucking mouth. Iโm not your doormat. I ruined everything?โ She shot back, her voice rising. โYouโre the one who couldnโt let go of your ridiculous obsession with Loraine. If anything, I saved us from disaster by getting Mabel arrested.โ โMabel was our leverage, Jennifer!โ Gordon growled, taking a threatening step forward. โShe was the key to forcing Loraine back into my life. And now sheโs rotting in a cell because of your betrayal!โ Jennifer didnโt flinch. Instead, she took a step closer, her chin tilted upward in de
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย Planning the wedding
Loraineโs POV This is the first time in what felt like years that my life didn't seem like a world-ending storm I had to constantly brace myself against. The past few weeks had been a whirlwind of emotionsโbetrayal, accusations, and finally, vindication. But now, as I sat in the sprawling living room of our shared home, surrounded by my matesโPreston, Hunter, Kris, and KillianโI felt something I hadnโt in a long time. Peace. Preston lounged on the couch next to me, one arm draped lazily across my shoulders. Hunter was sprawled out on the floor with a pile of papers he claimed were โstrategic plans,โ though he was doodling more than writing. Kris was in the kitchen, preparing what smelled like something delicious, while Killian sat across from me, polishing his sword like the ever-serious warrior he was. โSo,โ Hunter said, breaking the comfortable silence, โhave we all agreed that the Lycan ball will be our moment to show off the fact that Loraine is officially ours?โ I rolled my
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย Arresting
Loraineโs POV I had never felt more powerless in my entire fucking life. The moment the crowd gathered around Mabelโs bleeding, sobbing form, their accusatory glares locked on me, it was over. My protests, my explanationsโthey were drowned out by her dramatic cries and the murmurs of the onlookers. The bitch had planned this very, very well. I was arrested on the spot. My four matesโPreston, Hunter, Kris, and Killianโcould do nothing but watch as I was dragged away. Their eyes were full of desperation, but they knew as well as I did that they couldnโt interfere. The Lycan laws were absolute, and once the Council was involved, even Alphas had to comply. I sat in the dark, cold cell for what felt like an eternity, the walls closing in around me as I replayed the events in my mind. Mabel had outplayed me, and now I was being hauled to Lycan court, the very heart of justice for our kind, where Mabelโs uncle, Lord Arnold, presided. Of-fucking-course! He was a smug, greedy man who th
Fated to Four Brothers ย ย ย More Chaos
Loraineโs POV I had gotten used to the crazy-ass chaos that now surrounded me, but recently, there was a strange stillness in the air. Freaking Firstly, our supposed psychopath, Mabel, the woman who had made my life unbearable, was quiet. Too quiet. It felt like the calm before a storm, and I couldnโt shake the feeling that something was coming. Her absence from my lifeโno pranks, no insults, no sudden confrontationsโwas unsettling. Every time I caught a glimpse of her, I noticed how distant she had become. She no longer tried to provoke me; instead, she seemed to be going about her life, almost as though she had forgotten about our past. I didnโt know what was worseโthe fact that she had stopped tormenting me or the fact that I couldnโt figure out her angle. It was late in the evening when my phone buzzed, the screen lighting up with a message from Mabel. My heart skipped a beat as I read her words: โWe need to talk. Meet me at the old barn, north of the pack. I have informatio
