And Then There Were Four Novels & Stories

Every muscle in my body screamed from pain and fatigue but I forced myself to pull forward, ignoring the sharp bite of my wounds tearing under the bandage crossing my midriff. “Oh goddess, please don't let me die like this,” I whimpered, swallowing through the bitter lump that had formed in the back of my throat as I tried to make sense of this. If the Four hadn't thought I was crazy before they certainly would now. How else was I to explain what was happening to me except that it must have been one of their handiwork? My palms brushed against the gritty brick wall of the dining area and I marveled at the sweeping tapestry that hung down from the balustrade circling the upper floors.

I expected to hear my neck crack as it hit the hard ground, but strong arms caught my fall and pressed me close to a warm body. My heart began to beat faster. “What is your name?” my eyes darted to another man approaching us, all having the same face, and I shuddered at how identical they were. Sweet goddess, quadruplets?! How was anyone supposed to tell four of them apart?! They smiled at once, and then one said, “No one ever does.” I squeaked, clamping a hand over my mouth. There was no doubt about the fact that I was mute. Words weren’t coming out from my mouth now, so how were they reading my thoughts?

Darius confirmed, his hand settling on my waist. I looked around at these four incredible men who’d just chosen me over everything else, and felt something settle deep in my chest. Peace, maybe. Or just the quiet certainty that whatever challenges came next, we’d face them as we always had, as a family. “I love you,” I said to all of them. “All of you. More than I have words for.” “We love you too,” Marcus said softly. “More than the moon loves the night.” “More than wolves love the hunt,” Zane added.

And then Nothing.

After dinner, my roommates and I began heading to the other block, along with some students, while others stayed behind. As we climbed down to the second flight of stairs, I couldn't help but stare into the hallway, all the lights were back on. “Walk fast” Daphne called in front of me and I doubled my steps to meet up. *** Daphne pushed the door open as we entered our room, but Phoebe stayed outside. “I'll see you guys later” Phoebe muttered in a small voice before walking away.

Lena couldn't agree less. "It's been decided... We are selling these four and that's final " "Absolutely...

That was more than enough. The End

The figure turns to another monitor showing Ava and Liam’s faces and whispers “Welcome to Phase Four.”

They would be there. THE END

This meant we were all in a good space. "Well, I don't want this bean head having a kid before me so yes, four different moms. And I think you would find that we can keep our mate now. So, if we are in agreement, we may proceed with the main reason we are here." Damon stated. My brother was always in a hurry to get these things sorted and I understood him. Harold looked like he had no choice at this point, so he simply nodded his head. "Alright then. Four moms but we would eventually have to figure out how to break the news to your father. I don't think he would be happy to hear this bit." Harold said.
