Piper
I cling to Vivenne while I sob through the pain that has been tearing me apart for the last hour and a half. I never understood why I was so drawn to Vivenne. Even from the moment she came to our pack, I felt a pull to her. I thought it was because we were the same age, we were both strong women and good fighters. But now I know that it was more than that.
“I’m so sorry, Piper. I wanted to tell you. I really did,” she Says.
“Why don’t we go to my office where we can talk privately,” Quirin says.
I pull out of the hug, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. “I still want to punch you in your face,” I say.
“I’ll let you,” she says, wiping her own eyes.
“Where’s the fun in that,” I say, making her chuckle.
“Are you okay, Piper?” a soft voice asks.
I look down and see a worried looking Kaylee and Kendra.
I squat down in front of them. “I’m sorry, girls. I hope l didn’t frighten you.”
“If your heart is bleeding, Piper, our mommy can stitch it up for you. She’s really good at it,” Quilla and Quinlee say,walking over and looking at my shirt as if expecting to find blood.
“Oh, girls, thank you for checking on me. Do you know what I think would help me the most?”
“What?” all four girls ask at once.
“I would love a quadruplet hug,” I say, opening my arms.
The girls rush into my arms and I have to admit, a quadruplet hug is really good for the soul.
“We love you, Piper,” Kendra or Kaylee says.
“Yeah, and we’re going to have words with Uncle Henry very soon,” Kendra says, pulling out of the hug and glaring at Henry with her hands on her hips.
“What did Uncle Henry do?” I ask, looking up at my mate.
His worried gaze looks over my face, making sure I’m okay.
“He didn’t tell us he was mated to you!” Kendra says, stomping her foot.
“Yeah! We’ve been asking the Moon Goddess to make you family and all this time, you were! We could have been asking for something else!” Kaylee says, incensed.
“Yeah, like making us strong enough to beat Uncle Wade in sparring!” Kendra says.
“Never going to happen,” I hear Wade call from across the room.”You’re family now?” Quinlee asks.
“Girls, Piper and Vivienne need to talk right now. You can speak to Uncle Henry and Aunt Piper later and ask them all your questions.”
“Okay, we’ll see you soon, Piper!”
“Yeah and we’re so glad you’re family now!”
I get another quadruplet hug. I don’t know how the girls know, but they just seem to know I need them to hold the hug for a few moments before they let go.
“Now we can tell people are Aunt is a badass just like our Daddy!” Kaylee says as they walk over to where Kennedy is holding out her hands for them.
When I stand, I reach out my hand to Vivienne. She takes it and her eyes fill with tears again.
When I turn to follow Quirin, Henry steps into my path, taking my face in his hands. He wipes the tears from my cheeks as he searches my face. Apparently satisfied, he kisses my forehead.
“Did you want me to come with you?”
“Yes, please.”
“Then I’m with you, Piper.”
When we walk into Quirin’s office, I turn, pulling Vivienne into another hug. “I can’t believe you’re my sister.””Let’s sit,” Quirin says, gesturing to a seating area. I’m sure Henry wants to sit with me, but I need to be close to Vivienne. I need to know why she never told me.
