The Alpha's Secret Quadruplets

I believed that nothing could sabotage my happiness. I was going to be Alpha Caiden's future Luna, and he would be pleased to hear the news I have been keeping for a while.

I went to meet Caiden after getting ready. I inhaled deeply, then gave him the sweetest smile. I was terrified of the odd way Caiden was staring at me. My wolf began to stir inside me, growling.

"Caiden," I exclaimed with excitement before giving him a cozy hug.

However, he didn't react or give me a hug in return as he used to. I gradually withdrew, hoping to make sense of what was going on.

I said, "I have something to tell you," but Caiden's face remained expressionless. "Plus, it's our anniversary—three years ago on this day, we were mated and it's my birthday."

"I am aware of all that, Kamara. Let's hold off on the good news until later." I knew there was a problem because of the arid and detached tone in which he spoke.

"Today you seem different from your usual self. Is there anything I should be aware of?" I asked, shocked and irritated.

Caiden said, "The rest of the pack have been saying the same thing. So maybe I've always been a very different wolf."

"The pack?" I knew that there were people who were still against our union because of my genes but he never cared.

"And since when did you start caring about what the pack thinks of us?" When I asked, he laughed it off.

"We love each other, we're mates."

With an unusual agitation, he raised his voice and said, "Kamara, I never loved you. I can't be your mate. You're an Omega and you're still a weak wolf carrying lower caste genes."

"Why would you say such words to me?" My voice trailed off.

"I just realized that this whole thing was a mistake," he said coldly, making everything appear to happen more quickly than it actually did.

I could hear Caiden's best friend and beta, Enzo laughing across the room, showing how gleefully thrilled he was to be present at that moment.

“I, Caiden Vance, reject you Kamara Steele, as my mate. You were a nobody before we were mated, now you'll go back to being a worthless she-wolf.

A stab of pain shot through my heart. Not only did I feel shattered, but my wolf also experienced the anguish of rejection. I questioned when I gave in to the delusion that Caiden was genuinely in love with me. How on earth could he trick me for three years straight? I questioned myself.

“I, Kamara Steele, accept your rejection, Caiden Vance,” I said. He looked at me, his face cold. My heart was beating so fast.

He gave me a disdainful look and turned to go without looking back and I forced myself to suppress the need to tell him that I was pregnant.

Caiden would definitely feel the bond between us being broken, even if I didn't feel it at the time. It was evident in his eyes. However, Caiden walked away without saying anything, showing no regret or expressions on his face. I was saddened all the more.

Enzo stayed behind to relish this very moment. He always said I wasn't good enough for Caiden.

"This is the time when you will desperately flee and never return to the pack." I heard Enzo say.

My voice lodged in my throat with the tears I refrained from streaming down my eyes. I realized that he wasn't just telling me, it was a command. With a growl, Enzo grabbed my neck and forced me up against the wall.

"Did you truly believe that a frail orphan such as yourself would be his Luna?" he asked with a smirk.

I was unable to respond because all I could feel was Enzo's resentment pulsing through my body.

He continued coldly, "Leave, Kamara, no one wants you here. You'll always be a nobody."

He let go of me right away and walked away, grinning contentedly, without waiting to hear what I had to say.

I couldn't stand up as my legs grew weak. I decided, as I lay there on the ground, that I was going to move on from my past and Caiden's rejection.

I realized that before long, the whole pack would be aware of my rejection and would make fun of me for the rest of my life. So with all my might, I sprinted back to my room. I didn't have time to be sad and depressed. I unlocked the old box that held all of my possessions, removed everything, and sealed everything in a plastic bag.

In order to avoid being seen, I waited until dusk. My wolf kept sobbing because our mate had treated us so crudely. I vowed never to return as I took one final look at my house, my eyes blurry in the chilly, dark night. I wiped away my tears and ran deep into the jungle.

As I ran, memories of the day I and Caiden were mated flooded mind.

***

THREE YEARS AGO.

An ambush claimed my parents' lives. My aunt, Larisa never discussed it, so I never found out how it had actually happened. Seeing me shift for the first time was all I wanted my parents to witness. Though my wolf was starting to show signs of being different from the other wolves of the pack, I still didn't want to shift.

My eighteenth birthday wasn't really thrilling. Nobody knew the whole thing except for my aunt. The omegas in the pack, however, had always been ignored, and nobody had bothered to find out what happened to my parents.

Anytime I turned a year older, my confusion and uncertainties returned and they plagued me. Things got worse as I was enslaved my aunt Larisa and her husband, Colin. I was under their vicious care till Caiden entered my life and saved me from her wicked grasp.

I was snapped back to reality when I noticed Enzo's presence in the room.

“Get dressed immediately, the Alpha's son is waiting for you.” Enzo said with contempt.

“Th- the Alpha's son?” I whispered, shocked at what I just heard. I met Caiden at a party when I was 15 and since then, I hadn't been able to get him out of my head. I felt pulled towards him and I could only watch him from afar and well, have wet dreams about him. Who was I kidding? He's the Alpha's son and way out of my league. But I was confused. Why was he here and why was he waiting for me?

“Are your ears as useless as you are?” he growled. “Worthless orphan, don’t keep him waiting.”

I could no longer hear Enzo's thundering footsteps as they gradually disappeared. But the pressure he had placed on my shoulders the moment he walked into my room continued to fester, virtually immobilizing me. He hated me because, in his eyes, I was of a lower caste and hence unworthy of being Caiden's mate.

Thinking about what Caiden wanted with me made my body shiver. I'd wondered for a long time what the son of an Alpha would want with an omega like myself. Maybe Enzo was correct to say that I wasn't deserving of the future alpha. What made me Caiden's mate of choice? I was hated my aunt hated and she used me as her personal slave while raising me as an orphan.

I was once told that although I wasn't as powerful as I should have been, I had a beauty that no other girl in the pack had. Perhaps there was something about me that Caiden found endearing. Did he really think I would be a good mate? Despite his reputation as a ruthless and unrelenting wolf.

We had our mating ceremony there at my aunt's house and I went home with him.

We got to the mansion and I marveled at the grandeur and luxury.

The opulent mansion commanded attention. A sweeping driveway, lined with towering palms, leading to a magnificent entrance adorned with intricately carved doors. Marble pillars support the facade, hinting at the lavishness within.

We went inside and my eyes widened at the vast foyer that boast a sparkling chandelier hanging from a domed ceiling, casting a warm glow over polished marble floors.

The expansive living spaces were adorned with fine art and plush furnishings, while floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views of sprawling gardens and shimmering pools.

He tugged at my arm with a smile. I smiled back at him, knowing what was next. Mating.

"I wanna show you the bedroom." he said.

"I wanna see the bedroom." I replied.

Caiden led me into his bedroom. I had my bath and changed into a form-fitting white dress that accentuated my curves. I felt my cheeks flush as his gaze moved over me, the intensity in his eyes clearly telling me that he liked what he saw.

Slowly he lifted his gaze to mine and our eyes locked. Heat blazed from the depths of them, warming me from the inside, drawing me to him like gravity and I found myself taking a few steps forward.

"Why me Caiden?" I asked, still surprised.

He replied " Because you're my mate, Ara. Can't u feel it? I've wanted you since the day I set my eyes on you, but you weren't of age. I couldn't wait one more day. You are mine, today and forever."

"Forever" I whispered. The moon goddess surely had a sense of humor. Mating me to a future alpha? But what can I do? I've always wanted him too.

He pulled me in by putting his arm around my waist. His free hand gripped my hair roughly and drew my face dangerously near to his as his grip tightened around my waist, forcing our bodies together. I closed my eyes, expecting him to grab me and kiss me brutally, but instead I felt his lips brush across mine with such gentleness that it sent thrills down my spine. My breath caught at the feel of another gentle brush on my lips.

I put my arms around his neck, but he pulled my hair and threw my head back before I could even put my lips to his.

His lips slid deftly over my throat, kissing and nibbing as I clung to him, unable to stand on my own. His hands gripped my hips and went down my back, forcing me further closer to his body as though I wasn't close enough. His scent engulfed my thoughts, impairing my ability to think.

I was lost in a sea of pleasure, drowning. I felt like I was floating on air and my feet were no longer feeling the floor, then I abruptly found myself on the bed with Caiden on top of me, trapping my hands above my head. His eyes were burning with need and hunger as he smacked his lips against mine. His kiss was powerful and raw, heating me from the inside out. His hands slid beneath my clothes and stroked me in ways that were at once frightening and sensual.

Caiden's kisses turned from sweetly intense to painfully intense almost bruising my lips. I heard the tearing sound of fabric.

He studied my face, then slowly drew back and removed his shirt. My eyes were veiled with desire and my cheeks flushed. As my eyes swept over his exposed upper torso, he could hear the ferocious pounding of my heart.

Placing my hand on his chest, he held it, sensing that I wanted to touch him. After a little pause, I cautiously started to feel his body with my hands.

I ran my hands down his chest, stomach, up his arms and shoulders my eyes showing nothing but admiration as I touched him. Then my fingers traveled down his spine and he groaned with pleasure that burned so deep it was nearly painful.

He waited patiently as I satisfied my curiosity and got to know his body, even if he was in a sweet torment. It was his time after I was finished. He brought his body close to mine, using his hips to keep me in place as his lips found mine to kiss. He groaned deep in his throat as his tongue slid across my bottom lip and I writhed beneath him, producing a delicious contact. He repeated the act, aware of the impact it had on me, and I groaned in return.

He removed my clothes with ease and used his lips, tongue, and hands to explore my body. I could tell that he enjoyed the taste of my skin, as well as the sound of my moans.

"Caiden!" I gasped as he grazed his finger down my inner thighs coaxing shivers out of me. He did the same thing again but this time with his tongue making me quiver uncontrollably. He couldn't help but smile at my reaction as he continued teasing me with his lips and tongue.

"Please Caiden..." I said breathless as my hands fisted in his hair bringing his face to mind.

He gave me the kiss I desired, and I gave it to him with a fervor that shocked and painfully aroused him at the same time. I let out a cry of delight as his fingers moved between my thighs and felt my tender, hurting skin.

As Caiden's hand slowly stroked me, the pressure in the pit of my stomach increased rhythmically with each stroke, leaving me dumbfounded and almost out of breath. As the sensation grew stronger, I dug a finger into his hair. My muscles tensed, a spasm passed through my body, and I cried out as my head fell back.

I just lay there, my body limp, astonished by what just happened. Whatever it was I didn't want it to end.

"We're just getting started honey" Caiden whispered in my ear.

And then the kissing and stroking began and my body was on fire once again.

Caiden grabbed my hips and I felt a sharp pain, but it was only brief. Then came the amazing sensation of our skin touching and the friction starting a fire inside of me.

He was gentle at first but then he pounded into me like it was his last.

And there went my innocence.We made sweet love all night but something was missing. I was unmarked.

We were mated and that too for three years. Since I was mated to him and we became a significant pack member, I didn't care about Caiden's reputation or the fact that he didn't mark me. Marking was a serious decision to take so maybe he was just taking his time. After he loved me. It was enough. Also, I was relieved from the misery of living with my aunt Larisa.
