Aiden
“What do you mean she is your mate?” My father asked me.
“Dad, she’s mine and Braxton’s mate. Our wolves are confirming it. Both Maximus and Brutus want Samantha and they are going crazy because me and Braxton have not claimed her yet.” I told our father.
My dad turned and went over to his desk chair. “Does she know that she is your mate?” He asked before he sat down.
“No, not yet.” I told him.
My dad took a deep breath. “There is nothing like the mate bond. I am surprised that you and Braxton have held out.”
“Well, not like I don’t want her, but dad she is human or at least we think she is.” I told him.
“Yeah, I see how that could be an issue. But first thing is first, let’s figure her out before we say she is a human.” My dad said.
“I agree, we need to find out if she is Fae or Witch. But the other issue is, well us.” I said.
My dad looked up at me from his desk. He sat back in his chair and folded his arms and said, “Because we are The Gold family.”
“Dad, we are the Alpha family. Plus our pack is intermixed into a human town that we own basically.” I told him.
“And your mate won’t understand the lifestyle. This is a tough situation. I would not want to be in you or Braxton’s shoes. But, I can say, there must be a reason why the moon goddess gave her to you two boys. I don’t think she will just give you her as your luna just so you guys all reject each other.” My father said to me.
I sat down in the chair in front of the desk, “ Mom won’t accept her for us. You know that right?” I asked him.
“Your mother is complicated. She only wants the best for her pups.” My dad said as he leaned forward. “You know, I could say she still has Colt and Damien still. Maybe they will get a mate she feels is acceptable.”
“Colt and Damien? I can’t imagine them with a mate to be honest. Speaking of those two when are they coming back from visiting the Allied packs?” I asked my father.
“In two days. Hopefully they didn’t screw s**t up.” My dad sighed.
Damien and Colt are a year younger than me and Braxton. They are also twins. It is unusual to have twins in a family, but even rarer to have two sets like my parents had.
In a way all four of us were raised like quads. We look like quads, but we really are just two sets of identical twins.

Braxton
I took my mom out of dad’s office. Right now our mother doesn’t need to know that the nanny she hired is mine and Aiden’s mate.
Mom is the one that really cares about appearances over dad. Her finding out that a human girl is mates to her oldest sons will set her off.
“She isn’t quite human. Are you forgetting mate could be a partial fae?” Maximus said in my head.
“Right now we don’t know what she is. I got a feeling she doesn’t even know. I don’t know but I always feel she is lost when I look at her.” I reasoned with Maximus.
“She is lost because we haven’t claimed her yet.” Maximus huffed in the link.
I had to block him. He is getting annoying with wanting to claim our mate. I want her too but we got issues to deal with first before I or Aiden can fo that.
“Braxton, where is Eva and Samantha? I want to see them.” My mom said to me.
“Last time I saw them, they were in the kitchen, eating a snack.” I told her.
My mom sounded like she sighed then started walking. We headed through the house towards where the bedrooms were.
“Where are we going?” I asked her.
My mother sighed as if she was board.
“Eva should be ready to nap, hopefully she is in her room.” My mother answered.
The suntan lotion scent hit me. Samantha was nearby. The closer we got to Eva’s room, the stronger and more mouthwatering the scent came. I let a groan out.
My mom stopped and turned towards me. “What is the matter with you?”
I didn’t realised I groaned out loud. “Nothing.” I said. As I moved past my mom.
“I swear you boys are going crazy. First Aiden not letting me stay while he talks to you dad and now you are groaning for no reason.” My mother mumbled.
I stopped and turned back around and smiled, “Wait till Colt and Damien return in a few days. You will definitely be crazy mother.”
“Oh don’t start on them. I know those two were up to no good while they were gone. I can just see them bragging about there adventures.” Mom said as she walked past me towards Eva’s room.
Sam’s scent was getting stronger. Maximus was pounding the wall I put up to block him. I know what he wants, he wants his mate. He knows she is close by. I don’t trust him right now.
Me and Aiden will have to do something soon. This starting to be very hard to keep control.
But, I need to keep in control, I can’t do anything in front of mom. But I admit this control I have is slipping.
Mom opened Eva’s door and I saw Sam and Eva sitting on her bed. Eva had her back to Sam and Sam was brushing Eva’s hair.
I instantly thought of how she will be with our pups. I know she will be a good mother. Ok, I need to stop this. Control I need to keep it under control.
“Sometimes Colt shows me Duke. I can ride on him, but we have to do it secretly.” I heard Eva say to Samantha.
My eyes went wide, I knew Colt snuck Eva out sometimes. We all do because it’s not fair to keep her inside all the time.
“Eva! What did you just say?” My mom yelled, causing Sam and Eva to look at us in the door.
“Mommy..” Eva gasped.
My mom came into the room and looked at Eva.
“Colt takes you outside? You know daddy will be upset.” She said to Eva.
Eva shrugged her shoulders and said, “But it was fun. I like Duke.” She said.
My mom bent down to Eva and said, “I know you like Duke, but sweetie you know it’s for your own protection. We almost lost you once. Daddy doesn’t want that to ever happen again.” She said to my little sister.
My eyes went to Samantha. She was sitting there listening. I can’t help but notice how beautiful her hair frames her face. I wondered how it soft it would feel when I pulled it.
I had to look away from Sam. I can’t think these thoughts. Not now.
“I’m sorry mommy.” Eva cried and my mom pulled her into a hug.
“Um, can’t Duke just come inside for Eva to play with? Clearly she loves the dog.” Samantha said.
Everyone, including myself looked at Samantha. Oh I can’t wait to tease Colt that my mate thinks his wolf is a dog.
“Duke isn’t a dog, silly.” Eva giggled.
“Oh, the way you described him and how black his fur is. It sounded like a dog.” Samantha said.
“No, he isn’t quite a dog but similar. He is just too big to come into the house.” My mother said, trying to end this conversation.
“Samantha, here let me show you something here in the hall. Mom can settle Eva into her nap.” I said.
Sam smiled at me. I think my heart did a backflip seeing that. Damn this bond is getting stronger. This might not be a good idea if getting Adam out the room.
She got off the bed and walked towards me. I could hear the thumping of my heart watching her. I need to keep it in control. I turned and stepped out into the hallway.
A moment later Sam was there with me. She looked up at me and said, “Can I see Duke? There has to be a way for Eva and I to play with him.”
I don’t know why but hearing Sam say she wants to play with Duke was turning me on. So without thinking I said, “You can play with Maximus.”
