Chapter: Six

The quadruplets sat in their adjoint office and thought-over what the elders just told them. All of them were frustrated with the situations. They hated that this moment of finding their mate was tainted with humanity. They wanted to just kill her and forget that she was ever real, but know that she was their mate, they had to keep her alive – for their own sake. That’s what the elders told them – when it comes to having a mate from a different species the mating bond is even more intense than what it already normal is. Normal if someone’s mate dies, it would take them years to get over it, if they even could get over, but with other species as your mate it is a lot more intense. If Jess dies, it might be so intense that they lose their humanity and how stronger the bond gets the more intensely they will be affected if something were to happen to her, they could even die themselves. The elders had given them a lot more information on mates with different species, but they boys were to focus on that one matter.

“We just found out it was our mate, maybe if we kill it now, it won’t affect us as much as the elders think.” Joshua said, seemingly bored as he sat with one leg on his desk and the other leg swinging off it. All the boy’s wolves growled at the words Joshua spoke. Clearly making their disapproval known.

“Even if we wanted to kill her, our wolves would never allow it. You know how protective wolves are over their things.” Matthew spoke as he kept throwing his football up in the air and catching it again, only to start over again.

“Just because it is our mate, does not mean we need to build a relationship with it, we simple just need to keep it from dying.” Xavier said coldly as he stared out of the big glass wall on the one side of their office. He wanted to seem like he was under control, but his one hand rubbing at the top of his lip, gave away his anxiousness.

“We don’t kill it we hide it in the cells. That way we do not have to deal with it and if its out of our way we can even forget its here.” Xavier said and crossed his arms, staring out and looking over his pack members.

“We can even have reports about it, send to Mike or Sarah, that way we really don’t have to have contact with it at all.” Raymond pitched in, Xavier gave a nod, clearly showing his approval of his brother’s idea.

“As long as we do not have to deal with it, I don’t care what the plan is.” Joshua said and moved off his desk and picked up a few papers.

“I have to deal with the new training program for the warriors. I’ll leave now.” Joshua said as he made it out of the office. Matthew stopped playing with his football and moved to the exit as well.

“Ill test your new program. You know to see if its actually hard this time.” Matthew joked as he caught up with Joshua. Joshua simply nodded and gave his brother half a smile. Xavier looked over to Raymond.

“Would you like to arrange the things for the human, or do you have to much other things on your plate.” Xavier said, but Raymond didn’t say anything. He was frozen on the couch staring at the books on the shelves. Xavier moved from his spot, closer to Raymond.

“You okay brother?” Xavier spoke, a hint of worry laced in his tone. Raymond pulled out of his daydreaming and looked at his brother.

“Uhm… sorry. You handle the human… I’m going on a run.” Raymond said and left his brother, utterly confused. Xavier knew when Raymond acted as he did in that moment, its just better to leave him alone, so he rather started on the planning for the human. He was going to keep to his word, he would make sure that the human did not die, but that did not mean she needed to live.

Raymond was in his wolf form running around at full speed. His wolf was angry, frustrated, anxious – no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t get the humans face out of his head. All he kept seeing was her clearly in pain after he had hurt her. The more he focused on her face, the angry his wolf got. It took hours of him running around for his wolf to finally calm down enough so that he could shape shift back into his human form, but even then, his wolf anxiousness was still apparent. He decided to link the Seth, after the elders had told them what they did, Raymond though it would be better if the doctor did check her out after all.

‘Doc, are you done with the human?’ He mind-linked the doc.

‘Yes, she is really beat up, but with rest she will be fine in a couple of days.’ Doc linked back to Raymond. That seemed to set some of Raymond’s anxiousness. So feeling a bot relief he made his way back to the pack house.

Xavier set up the plan, putting Sarah in charge of it and after that the boys wanted to forget of Jess existence and move on their live, but there is a reason the saying goes – it’s easier said than done.
