I’ve been staring at my car keys and backpack for the past hour, thinking about my life.
I’m already dressed up for school, and Ella planned to go with me in my car since hers broke down a few days ago. But I lied and told her, I wasn’t planning to go yet, and that I have things to do before I leave for school. I sigh. I will be fine, I tell myself. They won’t hurt me; I am their mate. But deep down, some part of me is telling me I’m wrong. They are the Quads Alphas, and I know who they are.I’m going, I can’t let them scare me away from school. I have to go to school to finish my studies and fulfill my dad and my dreams—our dreams.I pull up to the school parking lot. I see one of their cars in front of mine. It was Tyson’s. I don’t see Ryan’s, Darius’, and Daniel’s car anywhere close. It was Monday and it means the week is going to be long for me. Probably the longest week I will ever have in my life.My window is tinted. But even if they can’t see me, they can recognize my car, that’s for sure. Elena Deloris has the only pink car in school. And now that I feel a little guilty, I hate the fact that my car can easily be singled out, among thousands car.When I turned my head to the left, I see Ryan’s and the other two brothers’ cars on the other side. I’m gripping my steering wheel tightly as I see the four of them standing together. They don’t just have similar faces, they also have the same standing posture. They are wearing the same outfit, the same color, looking intimidating like they’ve always been.I’m not scared of them. I know what I did to Ryan was my right. He had been the one bullying me. What wrong did I do for paying back? I wanted to be that soft flower who doesn’t always stay quiet and let others push her around. I’m the soft flower that fights back. I don’t think I was wrong for what I did, even for trying to ruin Ryan’s life, because that bastard deserves it.The four of them are known as the arrogant Quads Alphas. Tyson has a cheerleader between his legs with his two hands grabbing her ass. She’s smiling, she loves it. She likes popularity so she enjoys being around them, with her body as payment for their popularity service.Girls crowd them like ants crowding sugar. One is sitting on Ryan’s lap as he sits at the back of his car. His hands are crawling up her hips.Fear sets in my bones like an arrow shooting into me. I take my eyes off them. I’m not out of the car yet but I know they are waiting for me to come out. They are all looking in the direction of my car.I hold my steering wheel, releasing my hands from it steadily. “I can do this. You can do this, Elena.” I’m drawing in a long breath as I say. The fact that I ran before, because of what I did to one of them or that I found out I’m their mate, only weaken my confidence because they are so going to destroy me. Elena, you will be fine, I tell myself. I have been strong since my junior school and pulled through despite the blaze Ryan set around me. If I survived then, I can survive this, I tell myself, summoning the courage to get out of my car. Everyone might think I try to ruin Ryan’s life by now. Since he kind of found out I was the one who did it to him, then the news must have spread and soon, I will become the talk of the school.That’s why they all suddenly go quiet looking in my direction as I step out of my ride. I’m having difficulty breathing. My chest feels tighter like never before. My palm is sweating and maybe soon, it would start dripping.I hear some chuckles from the girls as they stare at me. My legs don’t make me lose my balance yet. I’m trying the best I can to start upright and not collapse with my heels. They are gossiping about me but am not bothered about that. What I’m worried about at the moment is the kind of stares I’m getting from the Quads.They don’t say anything yet, they just stare at me. Trust me, it’s intimidating and I’m praying for the ground to swallow me up, but it’s not opening. The bones in my legs are shaking, making me almost trip off my very own feet. I’m wearing sunglasses over my eyes means they can’t see the fear or tension in my eyes. I can only see their faces, but the moment Ryan took his shades off, I stumble backwards at the coldness from his blue eyes. They send shivers down my spine. I’m gulping more saliva down my throat, but my mouth feels too dry. Nervousness.He has never look at me like that before. I mean, he has always hated me, but I have never seen it this much in his eyes before. His brothers’ eyes almost say the same, and I can interpret it. I’ve never read eyes before but now I can, and their eyes say, “Welcome home, Elena.”God, they are going to kill me. It’s all that rings in my head right now. My eyes sway away from Ryan’s, I don’t know how, but then it lands on Tyson’s. I haven’t told you their surnames yet. It’s ‘French' and the fierceness from their surname sticks with them too. Tyson is inhaling some drugs from his hands. I’m not surprise, typical Tyson. That is who he is; he gets high to stay alright, and if not, he might lose it. He isn’t holding any girl but his green eyes are smirking at me devilishly. His smiles put some knots in my stomach. The eyes are telling me that since I’m their mate, I belong to them, and I cannot escape them. It makes me want to puke as I continue to read his smiles and his eyes.Darius is another devil from a different planet. His dark brown eyes aren’t paying much attention to me, but I know there’s something huge and dangerous for me up there in his mind.For god’s sake, I’m their fucking mate gives them the access to teach me a huge lesson, for trying to ruin their twin brother’s life. Now I’m regretting my actions and thoughts for trying a payback, knowing fully well that luck has never been on my side.Whoever becomes their mates is very unlucky and shouldn’t have been brought to this life. And that person is me. I haven’t realized how much unlucky I am until this day.My eyes find Daniel. He still has Jane Mark between his legs, rolling his hands on her hips. He smiles and raises two fingers at me as if he knows I’m staring right at him. My legs cripple in fear. It’s a little cold but I’m sweating. I try to fight it out. I won’t show it; I don’t want them knowing I am scared.“Elena!” God! I sigh. It’s as if God sends her to my rescue, because my feet refuse to leave the spot I’m standing at.“Ava, thank goodness you’re here.” I breathe out hard as if I want to cry. If I do, I cry in relief from this killing tension. She’s dragging me away from my car. She knows I can’t move since I’m staring at the guys.She doesn’t say anything, she just walks us out of their presence. And she’s heading exactly where in my mind I want to be right now—to the ladies’ bathroom.Ava takes me inside and locks the door immediately. It is not safe to leave it unlocked. Anything can happen now that I am in their territory.“Ava!” I scream, hugging her as I let out the cry that has been pressing down in my throat ever since I stared at them.“Elena, you will be fine. I know you are strong.” she pats my back. She’s always been good at boosting my confidence.I pull out from the hug, grabbing some tissues to clear my nose. We hear the first bell for our class and instantly stare at each other, and she says, “Don’t worry. I’m still by your side. We have a class together.” I let out a sigh of relief.TysonI see Elena and I smile. Of course, the smile isn’t a genuine one, but the darkest you can ever see. It’s good to see her back in school after the summer holiday is over.She thinks she would never find herself here again, but she lies to herself. We’re are the one ruling this school and the city, and anything is possible for us. We are The Quads.The look on her face thrills us like ants overjoyed when they see sugar. She’s in our world and that’s what we want. We want to show her what it means to play a silly game with the Quads.And now that she’s our mate, it even makes it sweeter. We are so going to break her and bury her fucking face alive. She would forever regret what she did, even in her fucking grave.Last summer, I had planned to take her. I wanted to have a taste of her and now everything is falling into place. Now all of her beauties belong to me—to us. Our fucking doll.Ryan doesn’t say anything yet, because he has so much plans for her up in his mind. And me? Wha
DanielMy three brothers are addicted to sports—football, baseball, any sport really. I’m a little different because I’m addicted to my books. Don’t think I’m innocent because of that, I make my straight A’s but I’m what they call a silent killer. I’m the quietest, but my silence is deadly like a snake’s venom.I walk out of my new Bugatti Veyron, leaving my twin brothers behind who prefer to spend their time on baseball than in class. You might’ve guessed where I would like to sit as soon as I entered the classroom. Yes, behind our soft flower, our mate, and officially our little doll. We have a class together today. I’m sitting directly behind her and I can’t help myself. I can’t seem to control myself. I want to do many fucking things to her. Especially for trying to ruin Ryan’s life and her damn bad luck for being our mate. I love how frightened she looks, it turns me on. She’s glued to her best friend, Ava, as though if she let go of her, the hungry lions will devour her. But E
ElenaI’m strolling towards the entrance, away from the classroom. I’m not scared of being alone, but what does he want to do with Ava? I’m getting scared that I’m letting her get dragged into my mess. I can’t let that happen. I can’t let them touch Ava.I don’t walk too far from the classroom, I can’t go too far and leave Ava alone. I’m walking slowly and I can hear every gossip about me. They are laughing and cursing at me, but they don’t touch me. I’m sure it’s one of the Quads’ doings. They’re not letting the students touch me because they want to punish me by themselves.I should know better now.I walk into the ladies’ bathroom to wash my face. I’ve been sweating a lot for no reason, and my hands are quivering. I’m slapping them to stop but they’re still shaking. I decide to wash them instead. Thank God, it’s quiet. No student is around and I don’t get to hear any gossip about me. I don’t get to feel that ugly tightness in my chest.I let out a long sigh, and it echoed since I’m
ElenaI let out a long sigh as I take the driver’s seat. I want to cry. I feel terribly annoyed and sick. My throat feels sore from the remaining tears I’ve been holding back. “Elena, you look pale. Are you okay?” Ella asks. I’m burying my head in the steering wheel, trying to calm myself before starting the car.“I don’t know, I will be fine.” I say carefully. I don’t want Ella to know anything about what I face in school. I’m keeping her out of this. I wish I could also keep her out of this school. They might come for her; I don’t trust my mates.“Elena I don’t like you this way. Wait, I have an idea, this would put you in a better mood.” she smiles and shows her phone to me.“What is that?” I frown, trying to give her my attention.“There’s a party tonight, can you go with me? It might cheer you up.” she asks, staring expectantly at me.“A party? Whose party?” I ask. It’s her first day in Ivy Prose and she already started making friends?Well, I shouldn’t be surprised. She’s this
ElenaI’m in my car, reversing fast to get the fuck out of here. I don’t care if Ella’s in the car, I’m silently crying as the darkness covers the tears on my cheek. She won’t see me crying. I don’t care if it’s those devilish Quads’ party, I need to go. I’m in the mood to drink my life to a stop.Ella didn’t finish with her make up before I drag her out of the house, because one more moment spent there tonight, I’m afraid what the outcome would be. She’s finishing her make up as I start the car.I don’t understand why I was given a whore for a mother. Jesus Christ, my dad fucking loved her, gave her everything, made sure she lacks nothing, and this is how she repay his love? By fucking his own very best friend?“Trash!” I yell out of control, pressing the horn of the car. A car is in front of me and he’s fucking slow to move out so I’m venting out my anger on him.“Elena calm down. I think he’s trying to pull over to get gas.” she’s looking at me like I’ve gone crazy. Sure, I am. I’m
Ryan We are upstairs. My twin brothers and I are waiting for our pet to be trapped where we want her to be. Riley just informed us she’s here. I’m not disappointed. Sometimes, she shows her bravery and I like it, even though she knows she will flop but she isn’t a coward. That is our mate, Elena, for you.“She’s here.” Darius gives me a wink. He is sitting beside me on the red couch where our mother likes to sit. Gladly, she agreed to travel with my father. Now we have the whole house to ourselves, and we can do anything we fucking want. And that starts with Elena, our mate, our fucking toy. Our other two brothers sit at the other couch opposite to us. They are all smirking as they know our plans would be carried out soon. Just a matter of time. A girl sits on Darius lap, and that girl is Elena’s cousin. We knew she wouldn’t be as smart as Elena. It shows in her face and speech or maybe Elena hasn’t given her a lecture about us yet. There’s an advantage to us. We will use her to get
ElenaFuck me! Yes fuck me big fucking time! I scream my lungs out. How could I? How could I forget today is my Love’s birthday? Jesus Christ.This is so heavy on me. Now I feel like Avera. I feel like the fucking bitch. I didn’t mean to forget your birthday dad…I’m crying, crashing myself on the floor. I usually set a reminder alarm for my father’s birthday but that doesn’t mean the date has to leave my head but I just got fucked.No, No dad, I’m sorry. I put down my glass and run out of the kitchen, holding my phone tightly. I’m happy I haven’t started drinking yet. If not, I wouldn’t have been able to drive tonight. I was about to take a sip when the alarm came up. Gosh, how could I do this to dad? I’m so messed up. I fucking feel pain and hate myself more now than I do Avera.I can’t find Ava or Ella in this crowded party. I want to tell them I’m going first, but I can’t find them and I can’t spend one more moment in this mansion with the guilt burning inside me.I’m running out o
ElenaMy time is up. Running from these bastards has finally come to an end. I’m fucking in their trap and there’s no way out for me. I will have to pay for something I didn’t do. If I don’t go to them, Ella will die. I know what they want—they want to mess me up. I don’t have a choice. I have to save Ella’s life. She’s my responsibility.“You have me, let her go.” I say, my breathing picks up. Poor Ella must be cold. she’s been there for over an hour, and half naked. Nobody knows what is happening yet. They are all in the living room, enjoying the party. That’s one advantage to Ella. No one will see her naked because they are all busy inside.“Beg. Crawl to your knees to us.” Darius yells, Ryan is smirking at me with his deep blue eyes that are as red as the blood stain in his knuckles.“Please.” I fall to my knees, squeezing my eyes for the pain of letting go of my pride. I have to do this, for Ella and whoever who is framing me.I’m crawling on my knees towards my fucking mates. El
