Billionaire Quadruplet Alphas

Thursday 24th September, 2020

Zaya POV

This did not make any sense. Sure, I figured Star would be devastated over Jonah being an even bigger a*****e than usual but this was so unlike her. She had become used to treating us as four individuals instead one quadruplet entity. Maybe, she really was over me. Maybe, she never loved me that much. Maybe, she had never really forgiven me for telling her to f**k off when I had been drunk at that party one time. I sighed. I put my head in my hands. We had scoured everywhere we could think of looking for Star: her adopted Grandmother’s house, the Jogie residence, the Academy, Chet’s cabin, Jillian’s house, Toby’s house and her father had looked all over the castle and had everyone there on high alert too in case she went back there. I just didn’t want her to do anything dangerous, anything reckless, and all over grief because of Jonah proposing to Angie. I refused to believe she didn’t want me anymore. It was the shock talking. I wasn’t speaking to Jonah so we split up to look for Star.

Eli had gone off the rails for a moment back there when Star first responded to him pouring his heart out with a fast block. He had attacked Jonah. They had burst into their alpha wolves and fought right in the hospital waiting room until Chet’s mother fainted. They had shifted back to see to her. She was fine. Well, she was heartbroken over her son but physically fine.

“Star,” I said to myself.

“Stop saying her name,” growled Eli.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

I snarled at him. Eli looked at me with tears in his eyes and I felt guilty.

“For now, I won’t,” I agreed.

“Thank you,” said Eli softly.

“Do you not want her back now?” I asked.

“Is that a serious question?” Asked Eli, annoyed.

“Yes,” I snapped.

“I won’t dignify that with an answer. How dare you doubt me?” He said.

“Ok, ok,” I said.

“I just can’t take hearing her name right now. It’s like physical pain. My head feels like it’s gonna split open,” muttered Eli.

He was usually the cool and collected one compared to me. He had actually managed to leave Jonah shaken just now. Eli’s fighting skills were much better and he was so angry. An angry wolf was a dangerous wolf. He had managed to get Jonah under him and had almost bitten his throat. He has stopped himself though. I knew he also felt guilty for the fight.

“Do you think Jonah hates me?” He asked.

I shrugged. “No,” I said, realising a shrug was a bit heartless right now.

“Do you think she hates me?” He asked, his voice breaking.

“No,” I whispered.

Eli burst into broken sobs. I pulled him to me, hugging him tightly.

“We’ll get her back,” I said to him. “I know we will!”

We had called Jamie and Jessie and they were trying to locate Star too. Jamie was using her magic to do it. We were at Georgianna’s old Coven House in the huge dining room seated around the table, just sulking, while Jamie focused. Fox was trying to. They both had their eyes closed while they meditated on Star.

“Ugh,” said Fox, grabbing his head.

“What?” I asked, worried.

“I don’t know. It’s like a mental brick wall,” said Fox.

“Same with me,” said Jamie. “I’m trying so hard to break the wall down. Can Star shield herself with Fae magic?”

“She hasn’t undergone any training yet,” said her father, his face forlorn.

“Why would she?” Asked Harper. “What about her family? We haven’t done anything!”

“My Lord?” Said Holly, Harper’s mate.

He had just found her and brought her here.

“Yes, Baby,” said Harper, pulling her into his arms. I could see him breathing in her scent to help calm his Alpha wolf. I shut my eyes. I couldn’t look at what I might never really have.

“If she is difficult to find mentally, perhaps another form of magic, not a psychic path,” suggested Holly.

She hardly spoke so I was shocked she was trying to come up with ideas for us. I looked at her.

“What do you have in mind?” I asked.

Holly sighed. She held out her palm and a light sprung up there. The light bloomed into a beautiful delicate flower, a lotus. This lotus was magnificent though and clearly magic. It was iridescent.

“This is the Lingering Lotus I stole! They’re extremely hard to get!” Admitted Holly.

Jamie gasped.

“Way to go, Holly! Come through!” Exclaimed Fox.

Jamie chuckled. The witch and wizard were looking at her in amazement. Star’s Dad was staring at the lotus, mesmerised.

“Care to explain to the remedial when it comes to magic,” I said.

“Yeah,” said Harper.

He had been raised a werewolf like Star so this was new to him too despite the Fae magic in his b***d.

“A lotus has eight petals,” said Holly.

Ok. Simple.

“A lingering lotus only has seven,” said Holly.

“Ok,” I said slowly.

“Have you ever seen a girl ask a flower if her lover loves her or loves her not?” Asked Holly.

Harper nodded.

“Each petal of a lingering lotus corresponds to a question you get to ask it. Only yes or no questions. The answer is always correct! If the answer is yes, the petal and thus the lotus lingers. If the answer is no, the petal you have put your finger on when inquiring will fall off and disappear,” explained Holly.

“I really need this flower for something extremely important but Star is just as important so ask away, my Lord, but I hope you can find Star and I will still have a few petals for my own use,” offered Holly.

Harper stared at Holly. Suddenly, he grasped her face gently and kissed her softly on the lips and then on the tip of her nose and then her forehead.

“Thank you, my Luna, what would I do without you?” He said.

Holly beamed but looked like she was holding herself back. There was more that bubbled under her surface. Something told me she had her own emergency going on that she wasn’t willing to share.

“Harper, let’s think of how to ask yes or no questions carefully and phrase them so hopefully most of the answers are yes so the petals linger. If we ask seven questions with a negative answer in a row, that’s it, right Holly?” I asked.

She nodded vigorously, looking grateful for my input.

“If we can manage to ask all yes questions, the lotus will give us infinite insight,” commented Asriel, who sat in the corner. He had escorted Star’s Dad back here with Fae magic.

“Ok, what to ask the flower?” Said Eli, hope springing up in his eyes.

“Mind-link your elder brothers and get them here so we can all be ready once we locate Star to finish this,” instructed Jessie. He was standing behind Jamie’s chair.

I sighed. I would mind-link Noah and make him tell Jonah.

“We should probably wait for Noah,” I said begrudgingly. “He’s good at problem-solving!”

“Ask him to say where he is, please, and Fox and I will go get him and Jonah,” said Jamie.

“We’re a little too burnt out to divine where they are right now,” said Fox apologetically.

“That’s ok,” I said quickly. “You’ve been amazing and you’re not even obligated to help us. You did it anyway and I’ll always be grateful to you all,” I said.

Jamie smiled.

“Once we have Star, I’ll take everyone to the woods and we’ll go to Georgianna’s haven. I’m pretty sure it’s more accessible after dusk anyway so we have until then! It’s now or never! Let’s do this!” Said Jamie, her face determined.

Jessie looked at her with so much pride.

Why was everyone’s relationship with their Luna rock-solid except mine? Oh yeah, because my Jonah and Noah were forever screwing me over and driving Star away. Why couldn’t we be like the triplets? They all dumped their girlfriends in one sitting the very day Chasity turned eighteen. Where was our multiple birth unity?

“One more thing,” said Asriel.

“If we don’t locate Hannah soon, can Harper give the body back on her behalf as her twin?” Asked Asriel.

“It’s something Fox and I were mulling over actually,” said Jamie.

“It’s a last resort,” said Fox.

Harper nodded.

I closed my eyes, attempting to link Noah. I couldn’t reach him. I just got a headache. Eli tried too. Even Jessie, Heath and Harper tried.

“Something is really wrong. I couldn’t mind-link Star but I thought she had been hiding on purpose. Now Noah?” Said Harper.

We all tried Jonah. Nothing but a migraine.

“Something is very, very wrong,” commented Jamie. “And I think I know what it is!”
