Maya

"You're my mate?!"

Stephen yelled right in my ear, his heavy hands grabbing my bare shoulders and spinning me around so hard my teeth clicked together.

My breath got stuck in my throat, but the scent coming off him made my whole head spin... fresh earth, sandalwood, and cedar... the exact same heavy smell oozing out from Nathan, Karl, and Elijah. It filled my nose and out of nowhere, heat rippled down to my thighs again... why was my body doing this... why did I feel this wetness when I hated them so much...

"Get your hands off me!" I yelled, trying to shove him back, but my arms felt weak and shaky. "Don't touch me! Any of you!"

Nausea rolled through my stomach like I was going to throw up. My mouth fell open as I stared at Stephen and the three brothers standing right in front of me with their trousers still unbuckled and their bare dicks half-hard. Their eyes turned darker and their pupils enlarged.

"Look at her shaking," Nathan laughed, crossing his arms over his chest while blood dripped down his arm from earlier. "She still thinks she has a choice in this…. Pathetic"

"She doesn't have a choice," Elijah muttered, his eyes locked onto my face with a dark, hungry stare. "She was meant for us. The Moon Goddess doesn't make mistakes."

"Mistake or not, she is ours now," Karl added, taking another step closer to the bed. "Every single inch of her belongs to the four of us."

The realization hit me really fast, The four brothers who bullied me every day at school, the same ones who just forced me to suck their dicks and make them reach their peak, were my true mates. All four of them... a curse from the moon goddess to me...

"What the fuck did you do, Maya?!" Stephen snarled, shoving me back against the wall so hard my back stung. His eyes burned with pure anger as he glared down at my swollen lips. "What kind of dark magic did you use on us?! Speak!"

"I... I didn't do anything!" I gasped out, tears spilling down my face as my heart pounded in my chest. "I swear... I didn't know anything about this... just leave me alone..."

"You expect us to believe that?" Stephen barked, taking another aggressive step forward. "You trapped us with a fake mate bond just so you could get out of your miserable life!"

"I didn't trap you!" I screamed back, my voice cracking. "Do you really think I want this?! Do you think I want to be tied to four monsters who treat me like dirt?!"

Karl let out a dark, booming laugh, stepping forward with his bare dick still exposed, a twisted smile on his face as he looked right at my exposed breasts. "Call us whatever you want, pet. Our school dustpan is our shared mate. The Moon Goddess literally gave her to us as property so she can never run away."

"I am not your property!" I cried out, my hands trembling as I hugged myself tighter.

Nathan snorted, tucking his dick back inside his trousers with a slow, deliberate movement. "Guess you don't just make us reach our peak on your birthday, Maya. You get to serve all four of us forever... you're not going anywhere, pet..."

"I'd rather die than serve you," I spat, glaring right at him through my tears.

"Watch your fucking mouth," Stephen growled, his Alpha aura flaring so hard the air in the room felt heavy and hard to breathe. "You belong to us now, and you will learn your place."

Disgust churned violently in my guts, but at the same time, wetness pooled between my thighs just from being this close to their scent. I hated myself for it. Why was my body acting like this when I hated them so much... why did my wolf want them...

"No... please..." I whimpered, shrinking back against the wall as Karl advanced on me again. "I'm not your property... I'll never accept you..."

"You don't have a choice," Karl growled, his hand reaching out to grab my hair. "You're ours now. Every single inch of you."

"Get away from me!" I yelled.

I couldn't live like this. I had to run away like I planned. If I didn't act right now, my life was over.

Backing up slowly until my legs hit the bed, my hand reached behind the mattress until my fingers felt the cold metal of the small pistol I hid weeks ago when my father threatened me.

"Get back on your knees, pet," Karl ordered, stepping closer with a cruel smirk. "You didn't even finish with me... get down here and make me hard again..."

"Don't fucking touch me!" I screamed.

Realizing I was desperate to escape, I pulled the pistol out from behind the mattress and pointed it straight at Karl's chest. Karl froze instantly. His smirk dropped.

"What the hell is that?" Nathan yelled, taking a quick step back.

"Put that down right now, Maya," Stephen commanded, his voice dropping into a dangerous Alpha tone. "You're going to hurt yourself."

Elijah moved with terrifying Alpha speed to grab my hand, but panic took over me completely and I pulled the trigger.

The gunshot echoed loud in the small room. Elijah dodged just in time, but the bullet hit Nathan's arm instead, blood splattering everywhere across the wall.

Nathan groaned, clutching his bloody arm with a loud curse. All four of them let out a painful whine as their wolves felt how much I hated them through the bond... they couldn't stand the hate...

"Fuck!" Nathan yelled, blood dripping between his fingers. "She shot me!"

"Maya, you crazy bitch!" Karl shouted, staring at Nathan's bleeding arm in pure shock.

Without waiting a single second, I shifted my grip and pointed the gun straight at Stephen's chest, right over his heart.

Stephen didn't flinch. He just stared down the barrel with dark, burning eyes, taking a slow step toward me.

"You really hate us that much?" Stephen whispered, his voice dangerously low.

"I, Maya," I said, tears filling my eyes as I tightened my finger on the trigger. "I reject..."

"Don't you dare," Stephen growled, lunging forward.

Before I could finish saying the words, a sharp, blinding pain shot up from my spine. A choked scream tore from my throat as the gun fell from my hand and clattered on the floor.

I screamed, clutching my back as my legs buckled under me.

"Maya?!" Stephen yelled, dropping down to catch me before I hit the floor.

My shift was starting. My body felt like it was breaking apart from the inside out. My knees gave out completely, the room spun wildly, and I collapsed onto the floor as everything went black...
