Our great-grandmother, the Winter Fae Queen, held a feast in our honour upon our return to the Ice Moon Castle. The food was delicious. Every single dish was seasoned to perfection but I did not have much of an appetite. I picked at my food here and there. I was anxious to find out more about the tasks the Quads had to do to prove themselves worthy mates. It seemed like something was always in my way when it came to the Quads: the status quo, Angelique, the curse, and now, the four cardinal virtues. Harper was supposed to explain them to me but he was actually tipsy, a great feat for an alpha. He had goblet after goblet of mead, ale and wine. He was swaying slightly in his chair at the head table with Holly on his lap. She was blushing furiously at being on his lap in front of everyone. Toby was nowhere to be found though he had been sitting next to me earlier.
“Shall we retire, my Lord?” She kept asking.
“No, Baby, the night is young!” Said Harper with a hiccup.
“It’s two in the morning,” I grumbled.
“Aren’t we cheerful?” Teased Harper.
“You’re supposed to explain the four cardinal virtues to me! I guess self-control is not one of the them!” I snapped.
Harper laughed.
“Actually it is! Temperance is one of them and that’s basically restraint or self-control,” explained Harper.
My face lit up. I had thought he was totally out of it. He hiccuped again.
“And the other three?” I asked eagerly.
“Prudence, Courage and Justice,” he said, slamming his goblet down on the table as he uttered the word ‘justice.’ The wine sloshed around in the goblet and some of it splattered onto the table.
“So what will the Quads have to do?” I wondered aloud.
“The best strategy is to match the Quads to the four cardinal virtues based on their strengths,” continued Harper. “For instance, Prudence is all about discerning the best course of action. You gotta do the right thing at the right time!” Said Harper slamming his goblet down again. This time it tipped over and spilled all over the table. A servant came hurrying forwards to clean it up.
“Thank you, Melody! You’re amazing!” He said the servant who was named Phyllis.
“So who’s the most cerebral Quad?” Asked Harper. “Who’s the smarty pants?”
I chuckled. “I think…Noah,” I said.
“Justice. Self-explanatory. Who plays by the rules? Who makes things fair?” Said Harper, pouring himself another goblet of wine.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
As soon as he poured it the wine seemed to dissipate before our very eyes, leaving the glass half-full.
“This wine is thin! It takes more to fill up a glass!” He said.
Where had the wine gone? Holly smiled conspiratorially at me. I grinned back.
“Eli acts fairly,” I said.
“Yeah, I would say so too. Courage,” he said, closing his eyes and leaning back in his chair.
“Zaya!” I said with the utmost certainly.
“That leaves who and what?” He mumbled.
“That leaves Temperance and Jonah. That’s a good match too! Jonah was the one always resisting…um the urge when it came to the curse!” I exclaimed.
Harper opened one eye and then the other. “I did not need to know that,” he said.
I chuckled.
“Jonah can do this. I know he can. And the other three can too!” I said, trying to convince myself also.
The Quads had been seated separately from us. They were across the room with another group of Fae nobles. Eli’s gaze never left me. My cheeks reddened every time our eyes met. I still felt somewhat shy around my mates. Zaya was chatting with Asriel. I could hear Erin and Rein adding their two cents into the conversation whether they could be heard or not. Noah was deep in conversation too but with the advisors to the Queen. I looked for Jonah. He was missing from his chair. I got up.
“Leaving so soon?!” Asked Harper.
“It’s been hours,” I said, giggling.
“We should retire too, my Lord,” mumbled Holly.
She tried to slip out of his arms but he tightened them around her.
“I got sunshine on a cloudy day!” Sang Harper.
He proceeded to serenade a completely red Holly as on-lookers cheered. Even drunk he had a great voice. I left the hall looking for Jonah. I was walking down a wide hallway when I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist. Someone pressed me against the wall. I braced myself with my palms against the wall. My heart was beating so fast.
“You shouldn’t be wondering about on your own, Mon ciel étoilé! Who knows who could be lurking these corridors?” Came a silky sweet voice.
“Jonah,” I said feebly as he spun me around and pressed my back against the stone wall.
“Star,” he breathed right before his lips crashed into mine.
Our k**s was hungry, ravenous. His tongue slipped into my mouth and his hands found the backs of my thighs. He lifted me effortlessly and pressed me into the wall while I flung my arms around his neck. I could feel his member, a huge and hard bulge pressing against me. This position immediately reminded of our first k**s, a stolen k**s in the bathroom at the Academy. This one was different though. It was filled yearning on both sides. I was a little lightheaded from the lack of air by the time he pulled away, panting. As if drawn by the scent of my arousal, my other three mates found themselves in the hallway with darkened l**t-filled eyes.
Jonah placed me gently on my feet and stepped back. Zaya smirked at me. He was the only one to have completed the mating process with me. Eli licked his lips. Noah sniffed the air. Jonah growled playfully as I slowly backed away from them. A mischievous smile spread across my face. I broke out into a run, dashing down the hallway and up the winding staircase nearby. My mates were hot on my heels. I knew they could catch me easily if they really tried. I spotted the double doors to my room and I darted towards them. Before I could reach the doors, I found Eli blocking my path. I turned around. Noah. I spun around. Zaya. The last available direction. Jonah. I was surrounded,
“I give up,” I said, raising my arms in surrender.
Zaya took the opportunity to reach for the hem of my dress, pulling it upwards over my head and outstretched arms. I was standing in the hallway in the lingerie Noah had bought me. Zaya handed my dress to Eli who sniffed it, inhaling deeply. They edged closer. I backed away right through the doors into my room. I heard the door click as it locked. My stomach clenched in anticipation.
“Hey Princess,” said Eli, his voice husky.
The four of them stalked towards me as I back away, my anticipation blossoming inside of me. Jonah gently pushed me so that I fell back onto the bed. I sat up immediately. He reach for the straps of the heels he had given me, undoing them, one by one and taking them off. He kissed the soles of my feet and then my ankles, working his way up my calves, my knees and my trembling thighs. All the while Eli sat beside me and pulled me into a steamy k**s, our breath intermingling. He nipped at my lower l*p and I squealed. He slid his tongue into my mouth and I eagerly stroked it with mine. Somehow I knew which Quad was doing what without having to look. I could feel Noah unhooking my bra and massaging my shoulder blades, moving outwards to squeeze my upper arms. His hands grasped my shoulders, kneading them, releasing the tension there. He clasped his hands around my throat and very gently applied pressure. Meanwhile, Zaya was slipping my underwear off. The smell of my arousal filled the room as he did so. Eli broke our k**s to g***n at the delicious scent emanating from my core.
“Mmm, Princess, you’re mouth-watering,” he growled, pushing me onto the bed.
My back hit the soft fabric. Noah gripped me by my upper arms and pulled me further up onto the bed so that my feet were no longer dangling over the edge of the bed. I was completely nude now and I was beginning to lose track of things. All I knew was that there were eager hungry mouths everywhere all at once, kissing my mouth, my feet, planting hot open-mouthed k****s on my torso, darting their tongue in and out of my belly button. A hot mouth latched onto my left n****e making me squeal. Another mouth sucked on the other n****e and I began to whimper. It was like there was a direct line from my n*****s to my p***y. My p***y was getting wetter and the need was growing greater and greater the more they teased, licked and nibbled my n*****s. I lifted my heavy eyelids to see Noah attached to one n****e while Jonah was sucking on the other. Eli parted my legs. I looked up and a soft mouth covered mine in a sweet k**s. Zaya. He had my head in his lap and was looking down at me in adoration. A blush crept onto my already flushed cheeks. I arched my back as the elder two continued to work their magic on my sensitive n*****s. Eli reached my core and licked it firmly, parting my folds with his tongue as he lapped at my vulva. He g*****d.
“You taste so f*****g good, Princess,” he said.
Noah detached himself from my n****e with a wet plop, curious about what Eli was doing. Noah trailed the tip of his downwards until he reached my core. He sucked on the upper part of my vulva making me cry out while Eli slipped a finger deep inside of me. Noah and Eli began to alternate their roles, each taking turns to finger my p***y and eat it out. I could no longer hold back the m***s and whimpers coming out of me. Zaya knelt over me and took charge of the n****e Noah had left unattended while he pinched and rolled the other one between his fingers. Jonah pressed his lips to my mouth. I lost myself in the k**s and in the pleasure all of my mates were giving me. They were making me woozy. Eli sucked my clit into his mouth and I saw stars. Noah was now slipping his fingers easily in and out of my dripping p***y while I wiggled about trying to escape the intense pressure. Eli and Noah were relentless while Jonah and Zaya focused on soothing me with their k****s and caresses. The pressure built. I could feel myself rising higher and higher as Eli traced patterns with his tongue on my clit and Noah kissed my inner thighs while his fingers worked their magic.
“Come for us, Baby,” murmured Zaya in my ear.
He and Jonah bit down on their marks. That pushed me over the edge. I m****d as the wave of euphoria hit me. I arched my back as I came undone. My release made every muscle in my body tense and then relax. I was panting as I slowly came down. The Quads were watching me in awe. I knew they were wondering who I would take next. I answered their unspoken question.
“Eli,” I said so softly that they would not have heard me had they not been wolves.
Eli crawled up to eye level with me, hovering over me, putting his weight on his palms.
“You sure Princess?” He whispered.
I stared into his green eyes, watching his pupils dilate. They were the most astonishing green I had ever beheld. All of the Quads had brilliantly bright green eyes like emeralds shining in the sunlight.
I nodded. Eli smiled. He brushed his nose against mine and pressed his lips to my mouth sweetly.
“You might still be a little sore,” he murmured softly.
I nodded. There had been a dull ache since Zaya had claimed me but it was fading and I was very wet. Eli plunged a finger into me gently prodding the area. I m****d at the intrusion. When he was satisfied, he removed his hand from my core and gripped my waist. He rid himself of his clothes swiftly and settled himself between my legs. I could feel the head of his huge hard member pressing against my entrance. He pushed in inch by inch, never taking his eyes off of my face. He pushed himself into the hilt making me cry out. The fullness was somewhat familiar to me after Zaya. Eli was identical but his movements were much slower, more methodical. He rocked his h**s against mine. My head was in Noah’s lap while Zaya and Jonah massaged my side.
“Move a little, Luna,” whispered Noah as he brushed hair off of my face.
I matched Eli’s movements, joining him every time he thrusted. The feel of his skin and of his length filling me and stretching me was amazing. I shivered in delight. Eli picked up the pace a little. I moved a bit faster in time with him, keeping a steady rhythm as I climbed higher and higher. Suddenly, Eli grasped the backs of my thighs and sat up with me still in his arms. He bounced me up and down in his lap, sliding in and out of me, increasing the pressure in my torso until it built to a crescendo. I desperately needed a release. We were nose to nose, forehead to forehead, our breath intermingling and our gazes locked. I was vaguely aware of the other Quads but in that moment they seemed to fade away, into the background. There was only me and Eli. He sped up, bouncing me harder and faster. A m**n escaped me as he continued his sweet torture. I was on my knees, straddling his lap.
“Ride, Princess,” instructed Eli, his voice deep and gravelly with l**t.
I could feel someone’s lips trailing down my spine. Another kissed the nape of my neck and someone grazed my shoulder with their teeth. I grasped Eli’s broad muscular shoulders and rocked my pelvis back and forth and up and down, impaling myself on his long thick hard c**k. The feeling was delicious. I tightened my hold around Eli’s neck as he gripped my h**s harder, his fingers biting into my tender flesh. He began to pound me, filling me over and over. I cried out as he kept up a relentless pace. I would break soon.
“Let go, Luna,” whispered Noah.
“Come for us, mon ciel étoilé,” breathed Jonah in my ear.
Eli sped up, pounding me faster and faster, lighting a fire within me and building a ball of pressure in my middle. I met every thrust, moving my h**s back and forth, feeling every stroke of him. My mates ran their rough hands all over me, six hands caressing my flushed body as Eli kept his hands securely on my h**s while he worked me into a frenzy. The ball inside me burst. I screamed as I came, my p***y contracting around his member, milking him as he pulsed within me. He grunted as he spurted within me. I heard three breathless g****s as my mates reached their release. They could feel the pressure and the pleasure coursing through Eli and me through our bond. I collapsed in Eli’s arms, clinging to him. He wrapped his arms around me tightly, brushing his lips against my forehead.
“You were amazing, Princess,” he whispered against my skin as my eyelids grew heavy.
“I love you, Star. I’m so in love with you,” murmured Eli.
“You mean the world to us, Star,” whispered Noah.
“You’re our everything,” said Jonah softly.
“We’re so lucky, Baby, to have you,” said Zaya.
My eyes fluttered closed.
“I love you, all of you, Eli, Noah, Jonah and Zaya,” was the last thing I said before sleep came and carried me off.
