As Jess closed her eyes, she felt as if she was being pulled out of her body. She had no control over herself. Jess couldn’t control anything about herself, she had no say when Sasha started to ask questions and Jess simply answered her, without even wanting to.
“How did you get here? How did you get into this territory?” Sasha asks, but her voice has an echo to it as if her words are being heard from far away.
“I was on a hike. It was the first time that I climb this trail, everything was fine in the beginning, but on my second day I felt as if I was being followed. I got off the trail hoping to lose whatever was following me. When I looked back again wolves were chasing. I ran to get away, but I got hurt and when I woke up again, you people were here.” Jessica spoke in a deadly calm voice, she sounded like a drone.
“What do you know of our people? What do you know of supernatural?” Sasha asks her voice still sounding far away.
“I know of stories, but to me that’s all they are, fairytales.” Jess says lifeless again. Sasha scoffs at what she says.
“Fairytales? How wrong humans are. Do you know who these men are to you? Do you know what they are?” Sasha asks with a smile on her face, her voice drawing Jess to answer.
“They are my capturers. They are criminals.” Jessica says. The men around her tensed and got even more angry with what she was calling them. Xavier and Joshua were even more enraged, not knowing how much more of this they could listen to before breaking. ‘How dare she say we were the criminals?’ That’s all that they could think after what she said. Even Matthew who would usually not care or pay attention to anything the human was saying, got mad at the comment she made. Jess, who was still in the trance-like state, did not see what was coming. She was completely shocked when Raymond grabbed her out of the elder’s hands and pushed her backwards. He pushed her so hard that she flew across the room, Jess screamed as she was mid air and then groaned when she hit the floor. Everyone was surprised that he was the one who lashed out. Raymond however was still consumed with rage, he preceded to march to where Jess had landed, but was stopped in his tracks as Kian hit the arm of his chair and called out to his son. Xavier walked towards his brother and laid a hand of comfort on his shoulder. It was the only time Xavier showed comfort to someone, he only did it when it was his brothers who needed it.
“Take a breath, Raymond.” Xavier calmly said to Raymond. Raymond looked away from his prey and rather focused on his brother. He took one calm breath and waited for his hands to stop shaking in rage. He then nodded at his brother, showing that he was calm. Once he looked back at Jess, was when he truly realized what he had done. Jess was laying on the floor. Cradling her bad hip, and tears were running down her face as well as blood that dripped from the corner of her mouth. Her other hand was clawing at the marble floor, hoping to find relieve for her pain, not only physical but mentally as well. She was utterly lost and confused. She just wanted to go home and forget about this nightmare. Raymond walked back to his other brothers, trying to pretend that what he had just done to his mate didn’t bother him, but far back in his mind he knew it did.
“We are done with it. Take it back to the cells.” Joshua said to his beta. Mike, the man who had dark brown skin and green eyes that could captivate anyone, walked towards Jess. She tried to drag herself away from him as he got closer, but it was useless. In a moment he was beside her and grabbing her one wrist and pulling her off the ground.
“No. NO! Let me go!” Jess tried to protest, but she could barely lift her other hand to push Mike away. He threw her over his shoulder and started to move towards the exit. Doc Seth, who had entered silently a while ago, started to follow Beta mike.
“Where are you going?” Xavier yelled at the doctor. Doc Seth stopped in his tracks and turned to one of his Alphas.
“Should I not attend to your mate’s wounds?” The Doc asked. Xavier growled in fury.
“Do not call it my mate!” Xavier yelled at the Doc as he clenched his fist angerly.
“And do not act without us telling you too!” He growled. Doc simply bowed his head, showing his apologies.
“Everyone, get out and no one speaks a word of today!” Raymond called out to everyone in the room. Beta Mike gave a small bow to his Alphas before leaving with Jess still on his shoulders, trying to struggle. Doc and Delta Sarah also gave a bow and then left through the other doors.
“You boys are acting foolish.” Elder Nadia sing-said as the doors shut. All of the boys turned their attention to her.
“In what way, milady?” Matthew asked, putting his charm back on even though he was barely holding on to control. He hated how anxious his brothers felt and hated that they were in this situation.
“You just killed yourselves.” Elder Nadia said with a soft smile.
The quadruplets sat in their adjoint office and thought-over what the elders just told them. All of them were frustrated with the situations. They hated that this moment of finding their mate was tainted with humanity. They wanted to just kill her and forget that she was ever real, but know that she was their mate, they had to keep her alive – for their own sake. That’s what the elders told them – when it comes to having a mate from a different species the mating bond is even more intense than what it already normal is. Normal if someone’s mate dies, it would take them years to get over it, if they even could get over, but with other species as your mate it is a lot more intense. If Jess dies, it might be so intense that they lose their humanity and how stronger the bond gets the more intensely they will be affected if something were to happen to her, they could even die themselves. The elders had given them a lot more information on mates with different spec
It has been a couple of weeks since Jess’s arrival and even though the boys didn’t admit it, it was clear that their plan to forget of Jess, was not working. Their wolves were agitated all the time and they themselves had a shorter fuse then they normal had. They felt irritated all the time, and their rest was nowhere to be found. It was clear that the distance between them and their mate had a big effect on them, but none of them wanted to admit defeat, it was against their nature.The boys had a hard time through the past weeks and Jess also did, but for a completely different reason. After she was taken from the grand hall she was placed back into her old cell. Jess was left alone down in the cells and since she had no windows she didn’t know if it was day or night, but she soon found out the cells had a system, there was a very dim light that lit the halls, at night that dim light would be turned off completely. She was so relieved to see another person,
Xavier was irritated, annoyed, mad, furious – his emotions were all over the place and he knew it was all because of that stupid human. It made him hate her even more. If he could, he would end her life in a heartbeat. He felt like he was losing control of everything which made him even more unpleasant then usually. His brothers couldn’t even provide him comfort because they were in the same boat as him. The brothers were also fight more and more intensely than they used to. The more Xavier felt annoyed and the more he saw his brothers bothered by the bond, the more he wanted to punish the human and soon he couldn’t take it anymore.One night, Matthew and Raymond were still shouting at one another about something that really didn’t matter, after hours of listening to them acting like children, he lost it and stomped down to the cells.“Move!” he growled to the guards. In a blink of an eye, they were out of the way, Xavier ripped open
Jess couldn’t take it anymore. She was exhausted, drained, and scared all the time. She just wanted to get out of this hell hole, but how was the question. There was no way to fight her way out of the cells, it meant she would have to fight Sarah, the cell monster and who knew how many other people. She had to get into an easier place to escape from. It took weeks before she formed a plan, which was inspired by the monster. One night the monster had ripped Jessica’s blanket form her and the next morning when she saw that the blanket was in pieces, she remembered how the only time she was let out of the cell was for the interrogation and when she was hurt. She needed a reason to get back into the hospital. The only problem was that she had limited things to work with, she had thought of using the beast in her advantages, but the more she thought about it, the more she was certain that it would just kill her. So, she looked at the things she had at her disposal – her
Joshua reached Jess first, but by that time she was already unconscious. He picked her up and met the boys in the hallway. They all stared down at their mate in the arms of their brother. All of their eyes were gold, clearly showing the presence of their wolves.“What happened to her?” Matthew was the first to ask.“All I know is we need to get her to Doc.” Joshua said seriously and moved around his brothers and started to run towards the doctor’s offices. Joshua reached the office quickly and hurriedly laid the human down on the bed. Doc pushed him off immediately and started to inspect her. Sarah was also already there looking worried.“Her pulse is so weak. What happened?” Seth asked as he inspected her eyes. Everyone turned to Sarah.“I don’t know. I saw her minutes ago and she was perfectly fine, she ate her soup and I left.” Sarah told everyone, making it clear that nothing was going on whe
Jess felt so weak when she woke up, that she couldn’t even open her eyes. Which for her was a blessing, since at the side of her bed sat Joshua and Xavier. She recognizes Xavier’s voice immediately but tried to stay as calm as possible not wanting to blow her own cover.“How dare you place a camera in its cell” Xavier said furiously as he slammed his hand down on a hard surface. Jess was glad he had, because it hid the increasing beating of her heart on the machine next to her bed.“Please, brother! You are just mad, because of my camera, I know that you tormented her at night. Some nights so bad that you made her scream and cry. So do not pretend that I have crossed a line here!” Joshua shot back, it was the first time Jess had heard his voice, and even though she hated to admit it, his voice was also as sexy and deep like his brothers. If it was not what Joshua had said, jess would have only focused on the sound of their voices, bu
Matthew picked up the pen holder and chucked it at the wall of their office, leaving pens to fly everywhere.“Calm down, Matthew.” Raymond said as he rubbed his left hand over his lips. Thinking of a solution to their problem.“This girl is pissing me off at an entirely new level.” Xavier said as he sat behind his desk.“We need to go out and find her, she was injured and then jumped into a river, who knows in what state she is. I do not understand why we are just sitting here and doing knowing.” Matthew said angrily and hit his hand down on the desk next to him.“We need a plan, we can’t just search the entire river, plus we still don’t know where the border of our world and the human world line up. At least we should be happy that she can’t technically cross the river since it is the boarder to our territory and Red Oak pack’s territory. The boarder shields while only allow her to stay on
“That was quiet amazing little mouse.” Xavier spoke, Jess immediately remember the man from her interrogation. Her heart speed up and her palms became sweaty. She held her breath as he spoke again.“You do not know in how much trouble you are.” Xavier spoke in a low and deadly voice, that only made Jess more nervous than she already was. Xavier moved towards Jess, but she had already turned to run, she took two steps before he grabbed her by the back and pulled her towards him. He held her against his chest with one arm around her shoulders. Jess clawed at his hand, but he grabbed her hand and held it at her side. She took her free hand and grabbed another syringe from the white coats pocket, thanking herself, for already unwarping all of them the night before. She quietly moved and stick it in Xavier’s arm. Jess waited for his grip on her to loosen and for him to fall asleep, but too much time had pass with no reaction. Xavier chuckled and moved
