Everything had been chaotic after the girl had passed out again. Xavier was checking the last details before the elders were to arrive, Joshua was busy setting up the warriors and increasing border patrol after their uninvited guest arrived, Raymond was preparing the grand hall for the investigation of the human and Matthew was still with the doc helping to heal the human’s wounds. After many, many strenuous hours had passed the elders finally arrived the next day. The elders consisted out of the four realm – Fae, werewolves, dragons, and siren. The world consisted out of a lot of supernatural creatures, but the shapeshifters had always been allies and that’s why their realm was the strongest of all. Fae and sirens brough their ability to manipulate nature and werewolves and dragons brought their brute strength and hunting abilities to the table. The alliances between the four species were always fragile, but they needed one another, and they knew that, so no matter what the alliance came first.
Elder Jahar was the elder from the Fae folk. He was quite skinny but still seemed intimidating due to his tall stature. Fae had marks that showed their bloodline and in Jahar’s case, the bark that acted like his skin on some parts of his body, was his mark.
Elder Nadia was the elder from the sirens, mermaids were always known for their extreme beauty, but also their extreme rath and elder Nadia was no exception. Her long brown hair was still wet and held a crown of seaweed and beautiful shells, her face was gorgeous, and her eyes mirrored the sun shining through the ocean waters. You could always tell when a person was a mermaid due to the smell they carried.
Elder Sasha was from the dragon realm and she looked as sexy as she seemed dangerous. She had fiery red hair and when her dragon was in control her pupils would turn into slits.
Lastly was Elder Kian he was from the werewolf realm and also the quadruplets father. He was a big man with army green eyes and blond hair that none of the boys received.
Kian looked exactly like he did the day he left to join the elders and that’s because elders do not age like others, some elders live through 7 millenniums. All the elders wore a blue robe that covered their entire body.
Joshua was the first to meet the elders at the entrant’s hall of the pack house. He bowed before the elders.
“Thank you for coming on such short notice, Elders.” Joshua greeted and then turned specifically to his father and gave a smaller bow.
“It’s good to see you, Father.” Joshua said without meeting his father’s eyes. Kian only gave a nod in recognition. Before awkward silence could fill the room, Raymond appeared.
“Elders, we are honored to have you here. Thank you for coming.” Raymond said as he too bowed before them. They all gave him a nod in recognition.
“If you would please follow me into the grand hall.” Raymond said and turned around to show the way to the hall. Joshua trailed behind them and soon Xavier met them along the way but stayed back with Joshua. Only once they reached inside, did Xavier greet the four Elders. Once they were seated Elder Sasha spoke.
“Bring in the girl.” She said with a calm tone.
Matthew entered the hall with Jess in his arms. She was still unconscious and pale white due to the lack of blood she had in her system. Matthew bowed to the elders before letting Jess down on the ground. Xavier filled the elders in on how they came across the human and from there the elders took over. Elder Jarrah blew open the glass doors with wind and soon green vines were trailing into the hall, making their way to the girl. The vines twisted around her lifting her off the ground. leaves started to bloom from the stem and sticked to Jess’s wound on her hip. Some leaves also stuck to her palms and on the scratches on her legs. After that, Elder Nadia lifted her hand pulling in water from the outside and spun it around Jess carefully. The vines and the water worked together to pry open Jess’s mouth, so that the water could enter. Soon Jessica started to regain some color back into her skin and as she started to look healthier the water and the vines retreated out of the glass doors again and shutting them on their way out. The room was filled with silence before Elder Kain asked a question that not one of the boys were expecting.
“Whose mate is the human?” Kian spoke calmly. All four of the boys stared wide eyed at the father.
“What are you talking about.” Joshua asked being completely outspoken for the first time, in a long time.
“The barriers around the different species territories may be there to keep others out, but mates can go through. If a human was able to pass through your barrier, it means she is someone’s mate.” Nadia said calmly in her angelic voice, as she looked uninterested into the distance.
“No!” Xavier growls. The aura around the boys changed to a very tense environment, but Xavier was too far gone. His knuckles turn white as he grips his fist. His eyes change from their normal green into a burning gold. Heat started to vibrate off him and soon the cracking of bones could be heard. It took seconds for his form to disappear and be replaced with a huge black wolf. The wolf charged at the girl, in a few seconds he stood over her, his teeth showed as he growled. He moved his head back and opened his muffle – ready for the kill, but before he could go in, the girl opened her eyes and whispered one thing.
“Please, help.” Her soft voice spoke as her eyes fell closed again. With only that limited words and that few seconds of eye-contact everything changed.
“Mine”
‘Mine’ Xavier growled through the mind-link.Everyone stared at him. Xavier was the last person that would have wanted a human mate. The Williams hated humans, but Xavier was the worse, after what happened to them, they couldn’t stand that species. Xavier’s wolf backed off the girl on the floor, his mind running a mile a minute. Xavier turned back into his human form and turn away from the girl and moved back to his brothers. His brothers did not know how to react, they knew why this was terrible news, but what should they say, what should they do? All of them hated the situation and wanted to kill the girl off as soon as she arrived, but they needed answers of how she got here. Xavier was clenching his fist and taking rugged hard breaths. Matthew was about to say something, but the human groaned. Mike came over to Xavier and handed him some clothes.Jess moved to her side and hissed as the pain spread up her body. She slowly pushed herself up o
As Jess closed her eyes, she felt as if she was being pulled out of her body. She had no control over herself. Jess couldn’t control anything about herself, she had no say when Sasha started to ask questions and Jess simply answered her, without even wanting to.“How did you get here? How did you get into this territory?” Sasha asks, but her voice has an echo to it as if her words are being heard from far away.“I was on a hike. It was the first time that I climb this trail, everything was fine in the beginning, but on my second day I felt as if I was being followed. I got off the trail hoping to lose whatever was following me. When I looked back again wolves were chasing. I ran to get away, but I got hurt and when I woke up again, you people were here.” Jessica spoke in a deadly calm voice, she sounded like a drone.“What do you know of our people? What do you know of supernatural?” Sasha asks her voice still sounding f
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 spec
It has been a couple of weeks since Jess’s arrival and even though the boys didn’t admit it, it was clear that their plan to forget of Jess, was not working. Their wolves were agitated all the time and they themselves had a shorter fuse then they normal had. They felt irritated all the time, and their rest was nowhere to be found. It was clear that the distance between them and their mate had a big effect on them, but none of them wanted to admit defeat, it was against their nature.The boys had a hard time through the past weeks and Jess also did, but for a completely different reason. After she was taken from the grand hall she was placed back into her old cell. Jess was left alone down in the cells and since she had no windows she didn’t know if it was day or night, but she soon found out the cells had a system, there was a very dim light that lit the halls, at night that dim light would be turned off completely. She was so relieved to see another person,
Xavier was irritated, annoyed, mad, furious – his emotions were all over the place and he knew it was all because of that stupid human. It made him hate her even more. If he could, he would end her life in a heartbeat. He felt like he was losing control of everything which made him even more unpleasant then usually. His brothers couldn’t even provide him comfort because they were in the same boat as him. The brothers were also fight more and more intensely than they used to. The more Xavier felt annoyed and the more he saw his brothers bothered by the bond, the more he wanted to punish the human and soon he couldn’t take it anymore.One night, Matthew and Raymond were still shouting at one another about something that really didn’t matter, after hours of listening to them acting like children, he lost it and stomped down to the cells.“Move!” he growled to the guards. In a blink of an eye, they were out of the way, Xavier ripped open
Jess couldn’t take it anymore. She was exhausted, drained, and scared all the time. She just wanted to get out of this hell hole, but how was the question. There was no way to fight her way out of the cells, it meant she would have to fight Sarah, the cell monster and who knew how many other people. She had to get into an easier place to escape from. It took weeks before she formed a plan, which was inspired by the monster. One night the monster had ripped Jessica’s blanket form her and the next morning when she saw that the blanket was in pieces, she remembered how the only time she was let out of the cell was for the interrogation and when she was hurt. She needed a reason to get back into the hospital. The only problem was that she had limited things to work with, she had thought of using the beast in her advantages, but the more she thought about it, the more she was certain that it would just kill her. So, she looked at the things she had at her disposal – her
Joshua reached Jess first, but by that time she was already unconscious. He picked her up and met the boys in the hallway. They all stared down at their mate in the arms of their brother. All of their eyes were gold, clearly showing the presence of their wolves.“What happened to her?” Matthew was the first to ask.“All I know is we need to get her to Doc.” Joshua said seriously and moved around his brothers and started to run towards the doctor’s offices. Joshua reached the office quickly and hurriedly laid the human down on the bed. Doc pushed him off immediately and started to inspect her. Sarah was also already there looking worried.“Her pulse is so weak. What happened?” Seth asked as he inspected her eyes. Everyone turned to Sarah.“I don’t know. I saw her minutes ago and she was perfectly fine, she ate her soup and I left.” Sarah told everyone, making it clear that nothing was going on whe
Jess felt so weak when she woke up, that she couldn’t even open her eyes. Which for her was a blessing, since at the side of her bed sat Joshua and Xavier. She recognizes Xavier’s voice immediately but tried to stay as calm as possible not wanting to blow her own cover.“How dare you place a camera in its cell” Xavier said furiously as he slammed his hand down on a hard surface. Jess was glad he had, because it hid the increasing beating of her heart on the machine next to her bed.“Please, brother! You are just mad, because of my camera, I know that you tormented her at night. Some nights so bad that you made her scream and cry. So do not pretend that I have crossed a line here!” Joshua shot back, it was the first time Jess had heard his voice, and even though she hated to admit it, his voice was also as sexy and deep like his brothers. If it was not what Joshua had said, jess would have only focused on the sound of their voices, bu
