LOGINMaya's POV
They led me back to my small apartment, amidst my protests and once inside, Nathan and Elijah quickly started to rummage through my belongings, pulling out every personal item they could get their hands on.
My breath caught in my throat when Karl deliberately opened my drawer of undergarments.
“Look what we have here,” he cackled, holding up a pair to Elijah and Nathan who had stopped what they were doing, “the curviest set of lingerie I've ever set my eyes on.”
Nathan lets out a sneer, snatching the lingerie away from Karl, while I stood unable to say anything, wishing the ground would open and swallow me.
“Too bad they end up getting ripped away from her body by the pack's drunkards and cheating married men.”
I heard him say and I shrank back against the wall, arms wrapped protectively around myself as they advanced. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide from their leering eyes and vile comments. Before I could react, Karl had me pinned against the bed, his weight crushing me into the mattress.
“You’re going to service us tonight, pet,” he growled, enjoying the tremors of fear that wracked my body. “Think of it as an extra special coming-of-age celebration, just for you.”
Nathan’s mocking laughter echoed through the room as Karl’s cruel hands began roaming freely. I wanted to scream, to fight, to run, but I was paralyzed by panic and dread. The shift was still hours away, my only salvation. But these two monsters, they wanted to take everything from me first.
Desperately, my mind raced, trying to find any way to stall, to delay. “Please…” I whimpered, hot tears spilling down my cheeks. “It’s… it’s my time of the month. You wouldn’t want to risk…”
It was a flimsy excuse, but I grasped at anything, praying they would be deterred. For a long, agonizing moment, neither of them moved or spoke. Then finally, Elijah sat back with a disgusted snarl.
My gaze darted around the room, desperately searching for any means of escape.
“Please,” I pleaded, my voice trembling. “Just leave me alone. I don’t want any trouble.”
Nathan let out a cruel laugh. “Oh, but you’re already in trouble . And we’re just getting started.”
Karl advanced towards me again, and tightened his grip on my boobs, and I felt the air being squeezed from my lungs. “That’s right, birthday girl. This is going to be a night you’ll never forget.”
My mind raced, trying to find a way out, but the boys’ laughter and their promise of an “unforgettable coming-of-age ceremony” only filled me with dread.
I knew if I didn’t act soon, I would be at their mercy, and my shift could be compromised. The clock was ticking, and the fate of my future hung in the balance.
Steeling myself, I knew I had to make a choice – should I succumb to their demands, or would I find the courage to fight back and finally run away like I had planned?
I looked to the door, searching for any opportunity to escape. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins, my heart pounding in my ears. If I could just buy myself some time, maybe I could find a way out of this nightmare.
“Please,” I pleaded again, my voice laced with desperation. “I’ll do anything. Just don’t hurt me.”
Nathan and Karl exchanged a knowing glance, their twisted smiles sending a shiver down my spine.
“Anything, huh?” Nathan purred, his hand trailing down my arm. “Well, we’re sure you can think of a few ways to make this a very memorable birthday for us.”
Elijah’s grip tightened, and I felt the world start to spin. I had to act, and I had to act now. Summoning every ounce of courage, I tried to move.
Violent shudders continued to course through me as I lay there, mind spinning, heart racing.
“Listen, you don’t have to do this,” I pleaded, my voice wavering. “There has to be another way. Just let me go, and I promise I won’t tell anyone about this.”
Nathan let out a cruel laugh, his eyes narrowing. “You really think we’re going to let you go after all the fun we have planned? This is your big day, Maya. We wouldn’t dream of missing it.”
In a split second, Karl's free hand was already finding its way up my thighs.
My mind raced, searching for any weakness, any vulnerability I could exploit but found none. What I found instead was sheer lust and dark desire glistening in their eyes as they all had me pinned underneath them.
Suddenly, Nathan growled and tore away from me, unbuckling the trouser he had on. “You will make us reach our peak, first with your mouth and then with your pussy. When you're done you can descend to hell and never return.”
I stared in shock, tears pooling in my eyes already. Elijah and Karl smirked, stepping back and unbuckling their trousers too.
“On your knees!” They commanded at the same time with Nathan pulling me roughly away from the mattress.
My knees sank to the floor in humiliation and resentment. The need to run away intensified as I glanced at the clock, I had just an hour left and with these brothers in my room, I might not achieve that. So they faster I satisfied them so they could leave, the better for me.
“You're taking too much time, little wolf,” Karl snarled, pulling my face to his bare dick.
I winced and swallowed thickly, and then began what they all wanted. Bobbing my mouth up and down their dicks at intervals, from Nathan to Karl and then to Elijah.
Disgust churned in my guts, or so I thought not until Nathan held my head still when it was his turn and slammed his dick deeper into my mouth.
Heat rippled from my mouth down to my thighs when the supple flesh hit my throat, again and again and again, prompting a low moan to slip from my throat.
My eyes widened seconds later when the realization of what I just did dawned on me, I was enjoying it!
Out of nowhere, I was savoring the feel of having Nathan's dick deep inside my mouth?!
I just couldn't understand it, one minute everything was fine, the next…this. How did everything reverse so quickly?
As I raised my head slowly to stare at Karl, the way his eyes were shut tightly, his grip on my hair and the way his hips rotated, made a wetness pool in between my thighs.
I groaned and locked my lips tight around his erection, then deep throated it a few times. An image of Stephen flickered in my head and I instantly felt like I was betraying him. I wondered what his reaction would be if he saw me in this position with his brothers.
“Fuck how are you so good at this?” Karl muttered, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I wanted to scream that I'm not good at anything, hell I detested reciprocating the actions of the people I was forced to pleasure but tonight….tonight everything seemed to be reversing and I just couldn't tell why!
Karl and Elijah's groans resounded next to me and when I glanced at them, they were pleasuring themselves with their eyes fixed solely on my breasts.
I then imagined what it would feel like to have Karl thrusting into me, Elijah pleasuring himself while staring at me and Nathan fucking my mouth.
Ugh. Not again, why did I suddenly have this imagination?
A spank on my butt reeled me back to my confusing reality. I looked up to see Nathan glaring at me.
“Focus, little wolf!” he sneered.
I could swear I almost smirked if I wasn't so quick to bite my lips and continued to suck his dick with equal parts fascination and ambition.
Just when I felt Nathan's dick swelling rapidly in my mouth, the clock started to chime and it struck midnight!
An indescribable numbness shut up from my spine followed by the pleasant musky earth, sandalwood and cedar scent oozing out of Nathan, Karl and Elijah.
“No….this can't b….” My voice trailed as I shot from the ground and scrambled backwards.
Suddenly, their eyes turned a shade darker and their pupils enlarged. Before I could comprehend what was happening, their voices screamed in surprise at the same time.
“Mate!”
My stomach pitted and my mouth fell open. If the three brothers out of four were my mates, does that mean Stephen is my mate too?
I got my answer immediately when I strutted backwards in shock, only for my back to collide with a sturdy chest. I whirled around and my eyes met the steely gaze of…
“Stephen?!” I called in shock.
He groaned, pulled me closer to himself and then sniffed my neck, saying, “You're my mate?!”
Elijah's POVMaya broke the kiss. She gasped for air, pulling her hands back from my hair and shoved her palms hard against my chest, trying to push away.I didn't let her go.Instead, my arms locked tighter around her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space left between us.My hands slipped downward, sliding beneath the warm water to press against her hips and lifting her slightly as my fingers moved gently against her skin.Deep inside my head, my wolf went feral. It clawed at the base of my skull, howling a possessive command:‘Claim her. Bite her neck. Mark her as ours right now.’The urge was intoxicating. The scent of her skin, heightened by the water and our skin-to-skin contact, clouded my rational mind.She wasn't just my mate; she was bound to Stephen, tied to Karl' and Nathan and shared among the brothers.Marking her right here, in the middle of the woods, would shatter the little peace of the pack and start a bloody war between us."Elijah... stop. Please," May
Stephen's POV."Congratulations, Alpha Stephen! An heir to secure the Red Moon bloodline!""A brilliant political move, bringing stability just in time for the council summit!""The pack rejoices with you!"I stood in the center of the grand ballroom, surrounded by a circle of pack elders and high-ranking officials.They slapped my back and beamed with grins, ignoring the darkness in the room.Allison’s public pregnancy bomb had detonated successfully, turning the high council gathering into speculation and praise.My jaw was locked so tight my teeth ached. I didn't say a word in response to their congratulations.I simply stared straight ahead. Where was Maya?That question burned through my mind. I had watched her slip away from the ballroom moments after Allison’s announcement, her face pale with humiliation and betrayal.My wolf had clawed at the back of my mind, screaming for me to chase her, to drag her back and to explain, even though I didn't even understand the nightmare All
Maya's POVThe door of Elijah’s car closed shut and sealed us inside.I had spent the entire drive sitting stiffly against the passenger door, my arms crossed tightly over my chest as I glared out the bulletproof window.I expected him to drag me back into the castle or lock me away in another one of his training rooms.Instead, he had driven past the guard posts, pushing deeper into the forest that bordered the pack territory until the vehicle came to a stop beneath a black tree.He had killed the engine, gotten out and dragged me by the hand through the twisting forest without uttering an explanation.The distant sounds of howling sent shivers down my spine and I was about to ask when he walked us into a clearing.Standing at the edge of an impossibly beautiful lake.The moonlight casted a silver sheen across the surface of a wide, perfectly still lake that was hidden deep within the trees.The water looked ethereal, glowing with something natural.I had been caught up in the breath
Maya's POVMy breath caught in my throat as I stared at Allison.Her face was flushed with her hands resting over her stomach as she soaked in the shock of the assembly.Around us, the murmurs began.High-ranking delegates, allied pack leaders and council members shifted uncomfortably, their eyes darting between Allison, Stephen and me.An heir. A potential bloodline continuation for the Alpha. In the hierarchy of pack politics, an unborn child changed every calculation on the board.I turned my head slowly to look at Stephen.He was frozen with his jaw locked so tight a muscle twitched beneath his skin. His eyes were fixed on Allison but he didn't say a single word. He didn't deny it immediately and he didn't confirm it.He simply narrowed his gaze and his silence, throwing the entire ballroom into deeper confusion."Prove it," a council elder shouted from the edge of the crowd, breaking the silence. "A claim like that regarding the Alpha's bloodline requires immediate verification.
Stephen's POVThe grand ballroom of the Whiston castle was packed to capacity.Allied pack leaders, regional delegates and high-ranking council members filled the space, moving across the hall.The atmosphere was wrapped in a luxury but the tension in the room was obvious. Everyone knew the political balance of the district hinged on this night.It was the quadruplets' joint birthday celebration.I stood at the raised head table overlooking the ballroom, followed by my brothers. Karl stood to my left, dressed in a suit and chatting politely with a visiting delegate from the northern territories.Elijah stood further down, his arms crossed over his chest, his gaze scanning the crowd with something dark and bored.Nathan stood quietly beside me, his instincts on high alert.I kept my eyes constantly scanning the grand doors at the far end of the hall.Despite the tight security net surrounding the castle and despite the manifests and financial records Karl had provided to clear his alib
Maya's POVIt wasn't a question or a negotiation. But a business transaction designed to push political leverage and secure the estate's borders at the expense of my freedom.Anger surged through my chest, burning hot enough to cut through the numbness of the past twenty-four hours."No," I said.My voice was firmer than ever as I stared directly into the eyes of Julian's father. "I said no. I am not marrying Julian.""Maya–" he began, raising a hand."I am done being traded like currency!" I snapped, cutting him off immediately. "You offered protection under a specific accord and you broke those terms the second your security failed. You don't get to trap me in a forced marriage just to patch up your fragile political borders!"I didn't wait for his reply. I went straight toward the doors of the study.I reached out, ready to wrench it open and walk out of this estate forever, consequences be damned.Before I could pull the door open, the door was hit from behind.The door opened inw
