Chapter 4: Freedom Or Mate?

1655 Words
(Desire POV) I was walking back and forth in the back garden while waiting for the clock to strike 12. I was feeling nervous, Excited, and sad at the same time. I was feeling nervous because I didn’t know anything about the first shift and I was excited because today I will feel the other half of myself… my wolf. Who will always be with me and will never leave me alone even for a second for the rest of my life, but I was sad at the same moment because there was not even a single person who could help me during my first shift. I looked at the clock and my heart rate accelerated as it was only one minute to twelve. I looked at the full moon and a smile spread on my lips and I started thinking about all the happy moments which I spent with my friends Naomi and Adolph. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my spine which spread throughout my whole body and I fell to the floor. I clutched my stomach as the pain spread in my chest and stomach. Slowly, my jaws and gums felt like someone was trying to remove my teeth. I let out a painful cry and closed my eyes. “Don’t fight with the pain. Embrace it,” I heard a soft voice like someone murmuring in my ear in her soothing voice. I opened my eyes and tried to look around but there was no one except me. Slowly, I stopped fighting with it and clenched my hands in tight fists, and closed my eyes to let it happen. The pain and agony were increasing with each passing second and I was taking deep breaths while my whole body was covered with sweat. After a few moments, all the pain vanished, and it felt like there was not even a single trace of pain in my body just a moment ago. I slowly opened my eyes and looked around, but there was still no one present. I tried to walk forward when I noticed my paws instead of my hands and feet. “Hello, Desire! My name is Grace,” I heard a voice in my head and I quickly turned around to see who was talking to me. “No need to see here and there, Silly! I am your wolf and only you can hear my voice in your head,” I heard that voice again, and I stopped in my place. “Wow! It means you will live with me forever, right?” I asked, even though I know the answer to this question. “Yeah! I will always be with you. I have been with you from the very first day but I couldn’t talk to you and couldn’t do anything for you at that time. I am sorry for everything that happened to you,” She said in a sad voice and I slowly said ‘It’s okay.’ “Can we go for a short run?” I asked, and she quickly agreed. She was such an agile and beautiful wolf. Although I didn’t see the color of my wolf, I could see my paws and legs. My paws were of a dark brown color while my legs were covered with light brown fur. I slowly started running and after a few seconds, I picked up my pace while heading toward the forest of our pack. This forest is safe land and wolves are allowed to run in it, so there are no problems with security. I picked up my speed and the air rustling through my fur was giving me a strange euphoric feeling like I was free and powerful and I could achieve anything at that moment. After running for God knows how many minutes, I decided to stop and catch my breath. I stopped near the small lake in the center of the forest. I slowly walked towards the lake to see my reflection in the lake water. I gasped when I saw my beautiful wolf. My whole body was covered with light brown fur and a few dark brown spots were present on my fur, while my paws were completely covered with dark brown fur. My big canines were shining under the light of the full moon. My wolf was bigger compared to the average wolf, but a tad bit shorter than the Alpha wolves. I drank water from the lake before walking towards the backside of the pack house to change my dress. I have arranged a big tee and a pair of shorts there for me already. I stood there and have no idea how to change back to my human form. “Grace! Do you have any idea how to change back into my human form?” I asked her. “Yeah! You have to close your eyes and imagine your human form,” She answered, and I did the same. I slowly opened my eyes, and I was standing there stark n*ked. I quickly picked up the tee and covered myself with it before sliding on the shorts. I quickly ran towards the attic where I put my duffel bag. I would finally start my new life after getting out of this pack, I thought. I slowly walked towards the kitchen where the backdoor of the pack house was present, when an alluring fragrance of sandalwood and spiced honey hit me hard. I gulped hard because I knew who could be behind me. “Mate! Mate! Mate!!!” Grace started chanting in my mind and I stood frozen to my ground. “No, Grace! It is our last chance to leave this pack. If I stopped today, then we will never get a chance to leave this pack and live the life of our dreams of freedom,” I said to her, and she became silent, but I was torn between choosing my freedom or my mate. I closed my eyes and tried to take a step forward when someone grabbed my wrist and I felt tingles in my full arm when he grabbed my wrist and our skin touched. I know, I have no way but to turn around. I slowly turned around to look at my mate’s face. I slowly turned and was shocked to my core when I saw the Quads standing there with surprised expressions etched on their faces. I gasped loudly when I realized that I had four mates instead of one. No, no, no!!! This is not possible. How can the Moon Goddess play this cruel joke on me? She paired me with my tormentors… The Quads. Who despised my whole being and loved to torture me and make my life a living hell? I shook my head when a single tear rolled down my cheek. “No! This is impossible,” I murmured, and they all clenched their jaws. These expressions were enough to tell me that they heard me. “I am sorry! There will be so-some mistakes. I know you hated me and didn’t want me as your mate, so let me make it easy for all of us,” I said, and they were looking towards me like they didn’t understand what I was saying. I wanted to roll my eyes after looking at their expressions but stopped myself from doing so. “I, Desire Clayton, Omega of the Nightshadow pack, reject the Quadruplets, as my mate and alph…” Before I completed my sentence, someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. I was shocked by this sudden action. I looked to see the face of the person and Daniel was looking towards me with his serious face and deep blue eyes. My breath hitched in my throat and all the words stuck in my throat. “You are not allowed to reject us, Mate! You are our mate and will be our luna and that is final. Who said we didn’t want you as our mate? The moon goddess blessed us with you as our mate and we don’t want to go against the Moon Goddess. I know we did so many wrong things in the past with you and you don’t want us as your mate, but just give us one chance to prove ourselves to you. We will apologize for every single mistake and will earn your forgiveness with our words and actions. Please!!!” I was dumbfounded after hearing his sincere words. I never thought that Daniel Robinson would ever apologize to me for his actions. “I-i am not ready for this,” I answered after gathering my courage. His face fell after hearing my words. “Mate is sad! Please give them one chance,” Grace poked her nose, and I wanted to shush her up when Dominic also turned towards me. “Yeah! We were the biggest a*sholes of this world to make your life miserable. We shouldn’t do that from the start but please give us one chance, Desire!!!” My name sounded so heavenly while rolling off his tongue and I felt a shiver of pleasure in my body after hearing his deep voice. “I-i need time,” I answered in a firm tone. “Just give us one month and we will prove how sorry we are for our past behavior. If you don’t see any change, then you will be free to leave us and live your life as you want,” Daniel said, and his words touched me. “Okay! I agree,” I answered, and all of them were shocked. I was also shocked at my own words, but the deed was done. “Thank you so much, Desire! We will not fail you,” Daniel said and before I said anything, he crashed his lips on mine. His kiss was dominant, powerful with a tinge of care, just like him.
