The Game Of Quadruplet Mates
Pete Again

June left with the blue eyed Beta. Worse, she looked happy to go. They were talking and this Beta was openly entertaining her. He wasn't even ashamed to be talking to a lowly farm girl that ranked one. He didn't care.

At all.

Even when everyone around him was whispering their confusion and their protests.

Because it's true.

What would a Beta with Alpha blood want with June who is nothing?

I can't imagine why. No explanation seemed to be the right one.

June could offer her body to him and all that but this Beta could have without ever asking any other girl to sleep with him. He was known to be handsome and charming and pretty, and even now every girl looked at him like he was the main event. But he didn't look at anyone else.

He only stared at June.

The Beta smiled at her too.

With adoration.

I didn't understand it. June is mine. And she will be mine. I want June specifically because I know she's hard working and desperate and will stay loyal even when I'm not. She'll work for the both of us and I can rest all my life with her as my mate. She's easy.

She'll make my life easy.

And she's a sure thing.

But this Beta? He didn't need her. So what's the point of taking her from me? Doesn't he already have the world? He can have anyone. Why June?

Fuck.

Enraged, I get to the table and eat my fill, and then proceed to drinking until I can't physically breathe anymore. I kept imagining what they're doing... and it's driving me through the wall. She was doing this to spite me.

She's baring herself to this Beta to get back at me.

I know she is.

Little slut in the end. I should have known. So innocent until thrown into the Games and into the arms of men. How quickly did she forget? It's as if we didn't just promise to mate each other.

I couldn't even enjoy myself anymore, even the other farm girls trying to get my attention, but all I could think about was June and that Beta somewhere in the gardens as he took her maidenhood. It was supposed to be me. Maybe I should have done June first just so I could leave my mark.

Time passed and when Larissa came to the table again, she had a smug look in her face. "I'm right again."

"Fuck you." I nearly spat.

She lifted a clever eyebrow and gestured to the man beside her. He was from the plain lands and his hands were all over her. "He already did that."

I hated her.

Larissa was enjoying it now too. Everyone was. All except me, who couldn't get June out of my mind.

My only companion was the unlimited food and drink, my eyes from time to time checking if June was finally back yet, but she never was.

Wherever she was, she was enjoying herself with that Beta.

Forgetting about me like I didn't exist.

Time passed slowly, painfully, slowly and soon they were announcing us to gather. As I made it to Goddess knows where- f u ck, I was really drunk- the crowd started to whisper. "How could Jeremy be with her?"

"He's so handsome and perfect and I've tried so many times to grab his attention."

"And all he goes for is this poor useless girl?"

"I heard her dowry is a bolt of silk."

"What?!"

"Just silk? What will that get him?"

And there, in the crowd of muttering and disbelieving werewolves came June and... the Beta. He was looking at her, bright eyed and happy and she was shyly following after him like a lost puppy. A lost pug.

And then the girls rushed to Jeremy, barking at him and shoving their chests in his direction. He looked unimpressed even when the prettiest and sexiest came at him. He loses June in the crowd and just as I'm about to smile in triumph, he has her by his side again. Just like that, he's smiling again, with her by his side.

I felt like I was on fire.

My hand to the nearest most pathetic looking girl that was interested in me, I dragged her out of the mansion and skipped the entire announcement altogether. I had my way with this random girl three times to ensure I never have to see June with that Beta ever again.

But just as I think I've saved myself from this terrible terrible time, June passes by me with a new man in her arms. Another Beta.

What the actual fuck was going on? Was this a nightmare or what?

How is she attracting so many men? Powerful men at that?

I followed after her, dragging this already used girl with me to show June that I wasn't sad. I could have people on me too, but June never looked back, her attention on this city boy that charmed her with winks and smiles.

Whatever the fuck this was starts and two shirtless Betas are suddenly on June.

Seriously, what is happening? Am I just drunk or is June attracting the two most sought after men in the entire Games? She was living every girl's dream.

They're shirtless, showing off their chests to her and she fucking blushes.

They demand to have her identifier like it's their prize and a commotion starts. Everyone is confused about why the two most powerful men in the Games want the lowest identifier available. They start to fight and I honestly don't bother to watch, my eyes on June as I see her being approached by the nameless pack as if to protect her.

My stomach turns and when it's over and I see that she's alone, I grab her, pulling her away from the clearing. She stumbles along with me.

When we're far enough that no body will come and save her, I turn to her sharply. "What do you think you're doing, June? Who are these guys and why are you entertaining them?"

She had the audacity to look surprised and something inside me snapped. I began wailing on her, releasing all my pent up anger at seeing my June with those men that didn't need her.

And then she's running away, leaving me behind.

"By the end of the weekend, you'll only have me." I reminded her as she retreated. "Do you hear me? No one else is going to choose you!"

I don't follow her. I don't need to. She already knows her worth now that I reminded her of it.

June will be mine by the end of it all and I'll happily show her this at the ceremony. No one will take her. No one but me.

For the next couple of hours, I indulged myself with women, in drink and in food. June was nowhere in sight, probably crying her eyes out and this fueled my joy.

I am having the best time now.

Woman after woman came and I wondered then what it would feel like to have June under me, if she would s cream, if she would beg for more, if she would ask me to stay loyal only to her.

Ah.

Fuck.

That would be so good.

But she will have to wait because, for now, I will have my fill of the Games.

I didn't see June again until dinner, when I drunkenly joined the farm pack as they ate in this splendor filled place. I had lost track of who this girl on my lap was and when whispers were loud again, I looked up to see what they were on about.

My lips part when I see this beautiful girl walk in. She was in the arms of the city pack Beta and she was most divine. For a moment, I thought she was the Alpha, but I had already seen the female Alpha and this was not her. Because this girl had long luscious dark hair and tanned skin from days and days of work, her lips were painted bright red like her tempting dress that glittered and hugged her in all the right places. Her slit, oh that slit, showed legs for days and days, stopping right by her inner thigh and making me hot and hard all over.

And then I saw her eyes and I froze.

Because I know those hopeful doe eyes. I know them because I've seen them every day for years.

June.

How could this be June?

Angry and sexually frustrated even after a whole day of fucking, I desperately remind her of what she is. 'That won't last.'

I watched her shudder but otherwise barely giving me the time of day as she leaned on the arms of this city boy. He brings her to his table, a table filled with the richest and most attractive attendees, and I hate how she actually fits with them.

This drives me further into anger and before I know it, I'm heading towards the lake with the rest of the farm pack, drinking and fucking mindlessly, all of this to let us forget that in just a few hours we would be back on our lands and working ourselves to deat

h.

When my eyes opened once more, I was by the lake, n a ked with a girl I didn't know. The sun was high above the sky and I knew I had missed a night of festivities. My head was hurting, continuously banging on my skull and when I turned to the side, I saw that breakfast was already being served.

By the lake, I saw June's city pack Beta with another girl. At first I thought, yes, as expected, he was already looking at another girl, but then I heard him say;

"You can cry all you want, but I still won't be choosing you." He coldly tells the girl.

She was pretty too.

The prettiest.

But he looked at her with such disinterest that I couldn't believe it.

"But they said you already rejected Cora." The girl stuttered, blinking back tears. "That you don't want to be with her. I thought I had a chance."

The Beta kept looking around, barely paying the girl any attention. "Well, you don't. I rejected her for someone else."

Just as he says this, June walks into the gardens looking hungover. She yawned, barely realizing how the Beta obviously stared at her with such want as his eyes were wide and eager. It was such a contrast to how he was treating the prettier girl in front of him.

I needed to put June in her place before things got out of hand. So, I sat with her and Larissa despite both girls giving me the cold shoulder. I tried to smooth things over but June's mind is elsewhere.

And then he comes, this city boy, sweeping up June and smiling at her like she's the best thing, like he wasn't just rejecting a girl I could only get in my dreams.

I followed them, listening closely to his words. He wanted her. He wanted what was mine.

Over my dead body.

When they're done, I show myself to her and the look on her face when she sees me is insulting, as if she couldn't get rid of me. Her reaction unleashes another wave of anger at her. My words are harsh but true, making her shake from the inside and I know she's panicking too.

I was the only person she had now.

No one else was coming to her.

"I expect you to accept me later." I told her, but really I meant, I expect you to reject everyone but me.

The horror in June's face relaxes my beating heart and when I watch her go, I know I have won.

She knows that there will only be me at the end. That blue eyed Beta didn't even come back to her and, from what I heard from her conversation with the city pack Beta, he was also to be mated with his Alpha, leaving June alone and vulnerable just for me. Pleased with myself, I enjoy the last remaining hours of the Games with a drink in my hand and a new desperate girl in my lap. She asks me if I'll be choosing her and I smile, uncaring, knowing that in only a little while, I'll be choosing June. The one everyone seems to want.

And she's going to accept me because she has no one else.

When the ceremony was finally called, I headed for my seat, a little farther back than I would have liked but at least not as far as June was. I tried to grab her attention but June was looking at her hands.

It takes a while for it to start, but it takes longer for June to be called. I laughed when Larissa was left mateless and laughed even harder when June cried over it.

Things got interesting when the famed monster Alpha arrived. He is most probably here to claim the other Alpha. Suspiciously, he kept beside June, but that's only because he didn't want to sit with the rest of us.

Before I knew it, they were calling June to the front and I was smiling widely at her frightened expression and the way she looked like the ground was swallowing her whole.

I was far too pleased when she stood there, pitiful and sad as no one came to claim her. I would have claimed her as soon as she went up there but I wanted to teach her a lesson. I wanted her to know that no one was going to claim her. Only me.

Just as she's about to burst into tears, I stand to call her but someone beats me to it.

My eyes zeroed at the very front where the city pack Beta was already standing, his hand out and ready to take June's bolt of silk.

I felt my chest tighten at the sight, panicked and too surprised to do anything.

What was happening?

No.

Everyone was surprised.

This wasn't how it was supposed to go.

He was going to choose his Alpha, not June.

I was supposed to-

"June Valentine is mine."

The entire area went d e a d silent before realization settled in.

WHAT.

NO.

I think I screamed. I think I shouted.

But I cannot tell as the entire ceremony erupts in pure horror.

The monstrous Alpha comes right at June and I fumble, my knees weak at the sudden turn of events.

That's my June.

My June!

No. This can't be.

I watched them helplessly like I had no control over my body, gaping and breathing hard. They're speaking, arguing, doing a traditional ceremony of some sort, but I cannot hear them over the beating of my heart. She's mine.

June... is mine.

Desperate and breathing hard, I ran to the front of the ceremony and, with shaking hands, yanked June off the stage. She falls on me, my hands holding her against me.

I'm screaming. My words are barely understandable over the choking sound that comes from my throat.

But then, he came.

A monster.

A demon.

There was a growl so fierce, so powerful that it shook the entire land. The trees and the ground were shaking as if there was an earthquake.

The monster cleaved through the crowd and in mere seconds, he was upon me. I barely saw how fast he took the hand that I used to hold June and in a blink of an eye that hand was no more, crushed against a force that I never thought was physically possible.

My bones splintered, breaking from the skin. There was so much blood and it spilled like a waterfall all around me. Didn't this land promise safety? Didn't they say blood must not be spilled here?

Yet thick blood, my blood, pools everywhere.

Bleeding on the ground and never stopping.

No one came to help.

Everyone was afraid.

I couldn't hear myself but I screaming, the pain seemed to muffle everything else. And it just kept coming, the fear, the intensity of the pain that wouldn't stop and June in his arms.

He held her so tight.

He held her so close.

And I just couldn't do anything.

I lost her.

To all of them.
