Ethan’s Pov

I still found it hard to recover after what happened earlier today.

How was it possible that my step-sister was my mate?

I heard my wolf loud and clear when he said “mate!”.

And there was Kayla…my step-sister, staring at us and also wondering what might have happened.

I was shocked to my bones as I stared at my brothers who quickly wore a stern gaze, as though nothing happened to them.

We all left the scene, but I was so bothered that I could barely relax.

At this, I sent them a mind link, calling on them to meet with me as this was an emergency.

They all rushed into my room the next minute…clearly concerned about whatever it was I had to say.

“Tell me that it’s not the same for you all?” I asked the three of them, gazing into their eyes that carried both worry and confusion.

Jake scoffed and folded his hand, still shocked from what had happened.

“Kayla is our mate?” Jake yelled out of his lungs and suddenly started laughing aloud.

Mason walked closer to me and held my hands.

“Look, you know that this is not possible. I mean, there must be a mistake somewhere. The moon goddess cannot bless us with a mate who is our sister!” Mason blurted out in confusion and turned to look at me.

Clearly, they all awaited my verdict, since I was the smartest of the quad.

“She is our step-sister”, I corrected, as though that made much difference.

“Even though! This is an abomination! The world can’t hear of it”, Jake cried out as he dug his hands into his head and paced around the room.

Jason was at another end of the room. I could decipher what he carried in mind, from the look he had on his face. He wasn’t perturbed because he didn’t believe in any of those.

“Jason! What do you have to say?” I finally asked as we all kept mute and turned our attention towards his direction.

Jason gazed at each of us, as though we were only trying to come up with some kind of joke. And then, after that, he broke into a loud and hysterical laughter.

“Mate?” He asked with a look of disdain and disappointment written all over his face.

“You all believe that trash talk?” He asked again and stared at each of us.

I cleared my throat and walked over to her, as though I was at the verge of pulling him up and throwing him to the ground.

“She is our mate! Do you understand?” I asked and again he laughed.

“She is your mate! Not mine! There is nothing like a mate and none of that is of any concern to me”, he bellowed out of his lungs, after which he walked away.

Mason and Jake walked closer to me, still trying to decipher what might have gone wrong with Jason.

“You think he was omitted?” Mason asked.

“Maybe… Jason is a difficult one, and we can’t tell if he is being serious or paranoid”, Jake replied, while I nodded my head in affirmation.

A deep breath escaped my lips as I sank into the bed and hissed aloud.

Why would Kayla be my mate?

My heart swirled in excitement, but I shoved it aside again when I realized that the last thing I wanted was being elated. This was a taboo and it meant trouble.

“We have to keep mute about all of these! We can’t let anyone know”, Mason suddenly announced and for a minute, I thought that I had heard wrongly.

“What?” I yelled in shock and he nodded.

Jake was lost at first, but almost immediately, he agreed to what Mason suggested.

“It is the three of us in this…we are her mates, but we have to keep shut. That way, we stay safe”, Jake added and despite how hard that sounded, it was the truth.

“Do you think the moon goddess is trying to punish us?” I asked and for a moment, silence rented the air.

We looked at each other and nodded.

“I think so…we have been so bad to Kayla. And now, we have her as our mate”, Jake groaned in frustration just as he walked out of the room, with Mason following him.

That same evening, we got informed that our father wanted to have a meeting with us. It was quite strange because he barely called for a meeting…except when it was for an important situation.

“I heard that something happened in the pack today”, he had said, and for a moment, my heart dropped.

I looked at Kayla, who looked like she was sitting on a pack of ice. The others appeared tensed too, just as we waited for our father to spill the story.

“Kayla visited the forbidden room”, he dropped and darted his eyes to her.

A wave of relief flushed past me when I realized that it was something different. And then, I saw the sudden need to keep her safe.

She was my mate and the last thing I wanted was seeing her hurt. At this, I decided to make things right between us. I knew that this was a bold step since I was the first of my brothers to take it, but I was willing to go on until the end.

“Can we be friends?” I had asked her, just as she stared at me…with those cold eyes that sent cold shivers down my spine.

I could tell that she was still mad at all of us, for being responsible for her punishment earlier. However, it was all Jason’s fault. He had been the one to report her, even after I pleaded with him to let it go.

“I don’t need friends at this point”, she replied bluntly.

“Did something happen? Did you observe something earlier today?” She had asked and again, my heart dropped.

I could see how eager she was to learn about her current situation and whether we knew about it. But then, I wasn’t ready to blow our plan.

“No…there’s nothing”, I had replied.

She walked away, without sparing me another glance. My heart was broken, and I had no idea of why…

But that was my mate! My sister, who I might have been cruel and cold to…

Guilt engulfed me, together with a sudden push of determination to win her heart and make myself her favorite of all.

  • My Quadruplet Step Brothers are My Mates   CONCLUSION, CHOICE, PEACE

    Third person. A month after the death of the Alpha King and the rift between Kayla and the quad, she decided that it was time to let them in on everything that happened when she was at the forest. She wanted them to know that she had to choose just one of the quad as her mate for life and that was the instruction from the moon goddess. She broke the news to them one morning and the shock on their faces showed that they weren’t expecting to hear something like that. “But she chose you as our mates!” Ethan cried out. He was quite pained to hear such, even if he hadn’t really said so much words to Kayla. “You will find another mate once I make my choice”, Kayla explained as they both exchanged glances with each other.They gulped down hard and nodded, gesturing for her to go ahead with making her choice. “And so, who are you picking?” Jake said as he stared at her, as though he wished that she would choose him. Kayla stared at each of the quad, with tears dripping out of her eyes.

  • My Quadruplet Step Brothers are My Mates   THE PAIN IN OUR HEARTS

    KaylaIsn’t it funny, the way live goes? How things start up on a bad note, only to transit to being good and then, return back to being bad. The quad had been a thorn in my flesh right from the very beginning but when they turned out to be good, I had a change of thought about them.It was crazy to witness a time when they returned back to being mean and nonchalant about things that concerned me, their mate. This was exclusive of Jason, who despite all, took me in and told me that he still needed me around. That gave me a sort of hope…if Jason wanted me, then I’m just fine. The strange woman whom I had met during my journey in the forest had told me that I could only choose one of the quad and I just knew that Jason was going to be that one. None of them knew about that, at least not yet. I had no idea of what such information would bring but I was getting ready to bring them in on it the moment I felt was right. “What are you thinking of?” Jason asked as he walked over to me,

  • My Quadruplet Step Brothers are My Mates   ME AND YOU

    Third person. Kayla swirled around to meet Jason, who had his hands inside his pocket and his gaze lowered to the ground. He had a small smirk on his face, and a questioning look that sort of asked the question of why Kayla would ever think of leaving the pack. “Jason?” Kayla called out, quite surprised to see him there even though she wasn’t so convinced that he would want her to stay back. As long as she was concerned, she was unwanted at the pack and has always been unwanted at the pack. “Where are you going to?” Jason asked again as he took another step closer. He has this fierce look on his face that suggested how he was both pained and confused by her decision. “I’m leaving”, she replied with a voice that sounded like a whisper, trying so hard to avoid gazing into his eyes. Jason gulped down hard and darted his eyes away again. “And why are you leaving?” He asked as he rolled his eyes at her. “No one wants me around. You all think that I’m a danger to your pack b

    KaylaI sat on my bed as every memory I ever had at the pack started pouring back into my brain. I blinked off the tears that welled up in my eyes as I stood up and strolled over to the window. A huge part of my life was in this pack, and although most of it turned out to be terrific, I still didn’t want to leave. However, I needed to because despite how hard I wanted to make amends with the quad, they weren’t willing to do so. I finally packed up my bad and started making my way out of the pack. I could have easily made use of my powers to vanish and never be seen, but for some reasons, I wanted every single person at the pack to see that I was leaving indeed. Just as I approached the gate, I felt someone watching me. I swirled around and tried to place my hands on who it might be but I couldn’t. At this, I ignored the weird feeling and trudged further away. And then, I heard what sounded like footsteps. It was clear that someone was following me but whosoever it was didn’t want

    Kayla It was high time the entire fight came to an end. I was exhausted and needed someone to cling on but that seemed to be impossible because every single person deserted me. “Please, let’s make peace”, I said to Jason who was looking at me as though he had just seen a ghost. Despite how hard he tried to avoid having an eye contact with me, I could tell that he missed me as much as I did.“Kayla, everyone needs space at this point and it’s only cool that we leave things the way they are”, he explained just as I searched through his eyes as though I could really tell what he felt. “That’s not true. Deep down your heart, I know that you want all of these to end. I know that you desire me. I know that you want me. I can feel it in my bones”, I said in a whisper as I used my hand to caress his cheeks softly. He froze the minute my hands touched his skin and that was yet another confirmation of what I had just said. There was no need extending the situation when we could have peace a

  • My Quadruplet Step Brothers are My Mates   SILENCE, TROUBLE, CHAOS

    Third person. Everything remained silent for a couple of days. However, the silence that reigned over the entire pack was one filled with so much tension. The quad were lost and unable to think of how to proceed with carrying their responsibilities as alphas. Kayla on the other end couldn’t tell if she wanted to leave the pack or remain there, especially because the entire quad was mad at her. Jason was not left out too. He was usually the one standing so firm behind her. It was quite heartbreaking to see him look away from her. She took slow steps out of her room, not failing to observe how the members of the pack shivered immediately they set their eyes on her. She was truly exhausted and all she wanted at the moment was peace. She hated being a reason to be talked about by the entire pack. Just as she walked, she bumped into someone and that prompted her to travel all the way to the ground. She let out a deep sigh after which she rubbed her hands that was terrible hurtin
