All Chapters of Tied To The Quadruplets Mates : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Alaric’s povThe hospital room was dead silent when I stepped inside with a tray of food I had gotten for her, a nurse following closely behind. My gaze locked instantly on Karla, who lay crumpled on the floor. Her face was drained of color, and I immediately froze at the sight of blood trickling from a gash in her arm.“Karla!” I screamed, dropping the tray and rushing over. My voice came out in a shrill as the nurse brushed past me with a first-aid kit and sank to the floor next to Karla. I carefully lifted Karla’s body off of the ground and dropped her back on the bed.“She’s bleeding,” the nurse said, already unfolding bandages and soaking a washcloth in some kind of cleaner. “You have to help me keep her still.”I nodded, cradling Karla against my chest as the nurse worked frantically to dampen a clean towel and dab at her knee. Blood was flowing freely down Karla’s leg like water, pooling around her heels before spilling out onto the white tile floor. Karla had always been defia

Alaric’s pov“What do you mean I’m not sorry? I’m not sorry for how I hurt you in the past? You can’t say that.”She looked away. “I’m done talking about this. I don’t want to talk about this anymore.”I couldn’t believe her as I was about to argue when a nurse entered the room with a smile. “Alright, miss karla. It’s time for your exercises and since you’re paralyzed from the neck down, we will have to move your body around to try to force some feeling back into your system.”She groaned as I smiled while holding her hand. “It’s going to be fine,” I said as she rolled her eyes.“You know I can’t feel anything there,” she said as I nodded. “I’ll be back,” I said to my feet but she didn’t say anything to me as she looked away from me.I got out of the room and got to the hallway as I was ready to get back home and tell my brothers what had happened.I got out and entered my car as I drove home. The minute I tried getting into the packhouse, Kai blocked my path.“Where are you running

Axel’s povI clenched my jaw, dodging another round of bullets. “I know, I know!”The wastelands were difficult to maneuver through. They were filled with jagged rocks and had uneven roads, yet I pushed the truck to its limit. The enemy vehicles zoomed past us as they fired at our truck trying to disable it. They were faster than us but this was my home, I knew it better than anyone else.But they didn’t stop.“They’re not quitting,” Lysander said, the edge in his voice as tight as a wire. “We’re under attack. What should I do?”“Hold on!” I yelled.“What?” Lysander’s head snapped toward me.I smirked. Time to end this. I yanked the wheel and stomped on the brake, spinning a U-turn as the treads screeched against cracked earth. The truck was front to front with the SUVs coming at us.Lysander’s eyes went wide. “Axel, what the hell are you—?”“Hang on!” I boomed, flooring the gas.Our armored truck surged forward like a beast unleashed, directly at the oncoming vehicles. The first SUV

Alaric’s povI thought for a moment. "Luca. He’s the only one who won’t ask too many questions."Kai nodded slowly. “Alright. But what if Axel and Lysander are in trouble right now? What if they need us?”I sat down next to him, rubbing my face in frustration. “I know, Kai. But right now, we’re stuck. If we try to sneak out, Father will know something’s up.”Kai leaned back, exhaling sharply. “This is such a mess.”I nodded, I felt like the walls of reality were closing in on me. Karla, rogue threat and now peace feast that was undoubtedly more a trap then it was a gathering.After another moment Kai sat up and looked at me. “Right now we just need to concentrate on getting through this gathering. If anything goes wrong… we’ll improvise.”I sighed but nodded. “Yeah. Let’s just get through it without drawing any suspicion.”We sat in silence for a while before I stood up and pulled open my wardrobe. “We should start getting ready,” I said, grabbing one of my formal outfits.Kai groaned

Alaric’s povI nodded. “I know. But we have to trust him. He’s been doing this a long time.”Kai let out a frustrated sigh. “And what about Karla? We left her alone in the hospital. She’s just starting to recover, and we’re here running around dealing with rogues and arrogant Alphas.”I tightened my grip on the wheel. “I’ll go see her first thing when we get back.”Kai looked at me, his eyes searching. “You care about her, don’t you?”I didn’t answer right away. Instead, I kept my eyes on the road ahead. “She’s our mate, Kai,” I said after a moment. “What do you think?”Kai frowned, obviously not convinced. “Yeah… but it feels like you care more than just because she’s our mate.”I sighed, not in the mood to get into it. “Let’s just try and get home.”It felt like forever before we pulled up to the packhouse gates. The guards waved us through, but I could see the look of curiosity on their faces. They had to have heard about what went down at the feast.As I pulled into the parking lo
