Chapter 4

Daniel

My three brothers are addicted to sports—football, baseball, any sport really. 

I’m a little different because I’m addicted to my books. Don’t think I’m innocent because of that, I make my straight A’s but I’m what they call a silent killer. I’m the quietest, but my silence is deadly like a snake’s venom.

I walk out of my new Bugatti Veyron, leaving my twin brothers behind who prefer to spend their time on baseball than in class. 

You might’ve guessed where I would like to sit as soon as I entered the classroom. Yes, behind our soft flower, our mate, and officially our little doll. We have a class together today. I’m sitting directly behind her and I can’t help myself. I can’t seem to control myself. I want to do many fucking things to her. Especially for trying to ruin Ryan’s life and her damn bad luck for being our mate. I love how frightened she looks, it turns me on. 

She’s glued to her best friend, Ava, as though if she let go of her, the hungry lions will devour her. But Elena doesn’t know that nothing can save her from us. Nothing. No fucking one.

Elena senses that I’m behind her and she suddenly gets nervous. She’s constantly giving me a side glance but I don’t say anything. Nope, I don’t. Our plans would speak, not our lips. I can’t concentrate in the class because Elena’s scent torments my nose. She might have messed up but she’s the most attractive girl I have ever seen. She’s the girl my D has been crying for. 

She’s been hiding, more like an introvert, but her legs are the sexiest I’ve ever seen. Her red hair glorifies her beauty, coupled with the red color of her lips. Each time I look at them, I want to corner her to the wall and kiss those fucking lips so hard till they bleed. I don’t care.

My phone vibrates in my pocket, taking me out of the world I got lost in—Elena’s beauty. A message was sent to our group chat. A group meant for the Quads. Tyson sent a text, and I quickly click on it.

Tyson: These mates bond acts like a matchstick. It’s setting something ablaze in me. Ryan, when are we teaching her the fucking lesson?

Tyson is so furious as Ryan is. He can’t wait to deal with Elena, and I’m excited myself.

Darius: I haven’t seen her since she left with her friend. She’s using her as a cover for safety, LOML. 

Darius text pings, and I read it in nanosecond. I might not be paying attention to the teacher, but I know what to do when it comes to my academics. Darius, is more into wrestling. Like Ryan, he's a fighter. I saw his ‘LOML’ and I’m laughing my ass out.

Daniel: Hey, man. I’ve seen her, she’s right in front of me. You know what? I feel like finishing her up this minute.

Ryan is the first to see my message, and types a reply.

Ryan: Hey man, you know what to do.

My fingers are so fast, as I type a reply back. 

Daniel: Sure, Ryan. I don’t say anything to her yet.

I smile.

Ryan: Good, brother.

He sent an emoji of a smiling face, but I know deep down that Ryan’s smile is not genuine. My smile broadens as I see the teacher packing up to end the class for the day.

“See you tomorrow, students.” she says, being the first to walk out the door. As it should be.

Elena has been biting her pen and Ava has been trying not to take her eyes off her. What a faithful friend. But I’m laughing because she wouldn’t be able to save Elena’s fucking ass.

Everyone starts to walk out of the classroom. I think Elena is too scared to get up, because she remains in her seat and I’m not getting up myself either.

“Let’s go, Elena.” Ava holds out her hand.

“No,” I stop her. I stop Ava, not Elena. She opens her lips to speak, but I put my middle finger on my lips to silence her. She doesn’t dare to try shit with us too. Ava knows very well what we are capable of, and she wouldn’t want to be in the position her friend is in now.

“Ava, can I talk to you alone, please?” the polite way I say it makes my lungs want to burst. It’s an act to make Elena feel safe and think the guys have decided to move on.

“I will be with you soon, Elena.” she doesn’t blink like Elena is doing right now.

Elena doesn’t say anything. She just walks out of the classroom, leaving Ava and I alone. Ava is not in Elena’s rank. She is swimming in wealth. I wonder why she’s friends with her.

“What do you want?” now she’s speaking with fright. That’s what I want. I want all the fucking girls to fear me, and the Quads. I love the smell of fear; it makes everything fun.

“Ava, what do you think you’re doing?” I say, moving closer to her. I don’t have the intention of touching her, no, not one bit. My body doesn’t move for her, no one else apart from Elena. But scaring Ava would be plus to the fun.

“Don’t come any closer.” her breathing picks up rapidly. She’s walking backwards and I’m not stopping either. I continue to move closer, scaring the hell out of her.

“Or else?” I smirk. I’m laughing inside, the fear on her face is thrilling. It makes me want to scream out that I love it.

“Y-You all let the girl go, please!” she’s yelling her lungs out. Her face is getting red. She wants to break down in tears.

“Ava, don’t stress too much, because there’s nothing you can do to stop us.” I hold her chin, but not tightly. She’s breathing hard, clasping her two hands on the wall in terror. I let go of her before she lets out a cry, as she tries to calm down, gasping for air.
