My Quadruplet Step Brothers are My Mates

KAYLA I nervously made my way to the chambers of my quadruplet stepbrothers, dragging my feet as I wished never to get to the door that led to their chambers. This spelled trouble because they never called me unless it was for punishment or for taunting. My heart raced as I entered the room mainly because the look on their faces pointed out that this was not a friendly meeting.One of the quadruplets smirked as I entered the room, “Look who we have here, if it's not our very own Kayla… stand there!” He said in a stern voice. I walked to the spot he pointed at and took my place in front of them. I noticed Ashley, one of the quadruplet girlfriends, sitting on the thighs of her boyfriend, looking at me with so much disdain. The tension in the room was palpable, and I knew that something was up. Before I could say anything...“Kayla, what the hell were you thinking to want to poison my lady?” Ashley's boyfriend, Jason, angrily questioned me.“Huh!” I groaned, clearly taken aback, my mi

KAYLA.With trembling hands, I pushed the door open, ignoring the cold, eerie air that hit me right on the face. The room was dark, with no windows or source of light, and I squinted my eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room. I could hear my breaths in the quietness, and the creaking of the wooden floorboards under my feet. It felt like a thousand eyes were watching me, and every shadow seemed to hide a monster waiting to pounce and tear me into shreds.I walked gingerly around the room, supporting myself with the couch and the small ray of light that seeped in through a crack in the wall.“Argh!” I groaned in muffled tones as I hit my foot on an object and stumbled slightly. I quickly covered my mouth. I couldn't afford to be caught– I would be food for the bears if I'm caught in here. I looked down to see an old rug, covered in dust and cobwebs. The room was a mess. The furniture was draped in sheets and spiderwebs, as if no one had been in here for years. I slowly made my way a

KAYLAAs the sun began to set, the guard watching me finally spoke, “You can go now, Kayla. It's dusk, unless of course you want to take over my job,” he grinned mischievously.I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I collapsed onto the ground, my legs feeling like jello. “Thank you,” I managed to say between gasps for air– for a while, I thought I was going to die whilst kneeling.I slowly got up, my body ached, and my legs were shaky from staying under the scorching sun for so long. I started making my way back to my room. Just then, my mind went back to the scenario that happened earlier with my stepbrothers– I couldn't imagine being mates with them, the price I would pay if I was found out sent shivers down my spine.I walked back to my room, lost in my thoughts and unaware of my surroundings, that I bumped into someone. “Ugh,” I groaned and looked up to see Jason, standing before me, with his eyes as cold as ice. Jason hissed spitefully, “You clumsy little witch!”I moved bac

Ethan’s PovI still found it hard to recover after what happened earlier today. How was it possible that my step-sister was my mate? I heard my wolf loud and clear when he said “mate!”.And there was Kayla…my step-sister, staring at us and also wondering what might have happened. I was shocked to my bones as I stared at my brothers who quickly wore a stern gaze, as though nothing happened to them. We all left the scene, but I was so bothered that I could barely relax.At this, I sent them a mind link, calling on them to meet with me as this was an emergency.They all rushed into my room the next minute…clearly concerned about whatever it was I had to say.“Tell me that it’s not the same for you all?” I asked the three of them, gazing into their eyes that carried both worry and confusion.Jake scoffed and folded his hand, still shocked from what had happened.“Kayla is our mate?” Jake yelled out of his lungs and suddenly started laughing aloud.Mason walked closer to me and held my

Kayla’s PovThat was so typical of Jason. He never stopped yelling at me, right from the moment I came into the pack with my mother. I had no idea of why he was so blunt and cruel, but that was none of my business. All I wanted was his care and love, but clearly, nothing like that was going to happen. “I just want to know if they know that we are mates”, I whispered to my wolf who was clearly sad and dejected with how Jason spoke to me earlier. It was a long day already and clearly not how I wanted my eighteenth birthday to do. But then, I felt glad that I was able to lay my hand on a piece that came from my mother: the letter.I picked it out of my pocket and stared at it for another time.“How am I meant to spend my life here at the pack? Everything seems to be turning against me and I have no one to back me up”, I cried bitterly, staring into the last picture of my mother which I still had in my possession. After minutes of being solemn, I took a long bath and went ahead to sle
