Maria.
"We just want to please you, Maria," Aidan said softly.
The mont he spoke, he slowly tried to close the distance I had created between us monts ago.
His movents were careful and almost cautious as though he was afraid I would react badly again.
"Give us the chance to," he added quietly.
I stared at him in disbelief.
Honestly, the sudden change in their behavior was beginning to terrify slightly.
These were the sa Quadruplets who once treated coldly. The sa n who humiliated repeatedly.
Yet now they were acting as though I was so precious treasure they desperately needed to protect.
"You deserve the best," Davian added imdiately, his deep voice echoing through the room as his eyes remained fixed on intensely. "And only we can give you that best, Maria," he continued. "Allow us to treat you right."
As he spoke, he also took a slow step closer and that instantly made my chest tighten uneasily.
"Stay away from !" I yelled imdiately.
My voice echoed sharply through the room.
The four of them froze instantly.
"Do not dare take another step closer," I added again firmly.
And surprisingly, they obeyed imdiately.
The sudden obedience caught completely off guard, as not one of them argued nor moved.
It was almost like they had been remotely controlled.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly beca strangely tense and honestly, instead of making feel safe, it only made feel more uneasy.
Sothing about all this was wrong.
I took a slow breath while trying to calm the restless feeling inside .
"All of you," I said sternly while pointing toward the door, "out of my room."
This ti, however, none of them moved, not even slightly.
My brows furrowed instantly.
Weren’t they just obeying a few seconds ago?
Why were they suddenly ignoring now?
"We won’t be leaving, Maria," Damien said boldly.
Unlike the others, his tone carried complete confidence. Almost like the decision had already been finalized without my opinion.
My eyes widened instantly.
Excuse ?
Before I could even respond properly, Damien continued calmly...
"We will be sleeping here tonight."
For a mont, I genuinely thought I heard him wrongly.
The room suddenly felt silent.
My brain struggled to process his words properly.
Sleeping here?
In my room?
Tonight?
With ?
I stared at him blankly.
Then my gaze shifted slowly from Damien to the others.
And to my horror, none of them looked shocked by the statent. In fact, Adrien looked excited, Aidan looked calm and Davian looked completely serious.
aning they had all agreed on this madness together.
"You said what?" I asked slowly, raising my brows in frustration.
Adrien smiled brightly imdiately. "From now henceforth, Maria, we are more than willing to serve you," he said happily.
The excitent in his voice genuinely made question his sanity.
"So we will be sleeping here tonight." He said it so casually, like it was the most natural thing, like it was the most normal thing in the world.
I stared at all four of them in complete disbelief.
Honestly, I was beginning to wonder if they had all lost their minds together.
"You all are insane," I said finally.
Pure disgust filled my voice as I looked at each of them one after another.
Completely insane.
That was the only explanation left.
Because no sane person would suddenly decide to sleep inside another person’s room after months of treating her terribly.
Yet sohow, despite the insult, none of them looked offended. If anything, they only looked even more determined to stay.
I placed my hands against my forehead, massaging my temples slowly as a sharp headache suddenly began to build.
Honestly, the Quadruplets were becoming unbearable with each passing second.
Everything they said.
Everything they did.
Everything about their sudden change in behavior was overwhelming completely.
"Let help you," Davian said imdiately.
The mont he noticed my discomfort, he rushed forward instinctively.
"Stay back!" I yelled instantly.
My voice ca out harsher than intended.
Davian froze imdiately and sohow, the expression on his face resembled that of a wounded child. His shoulders dropped slightly, yet he still obeyed without argunt.
At that point, I realized sothing clearly, If they refused to leave the room...then I would leave instead.
Without wasting another second, I turned and walked quickly toward the door.
I only needed fresh air, space and distance from them but the mont my hand touched the handle...four larger hands suddenly covered mine.
I froze instantly.
My grip on the handle loosened imdiately as warmth surrounded from every direction.
Before I could react properly, I realized they had cornered completely.
Aidan stood close enough behind for his breath to brush softly against my ear. "Why is it so hard for you to just stay around us?" he asked quietly, his voice low and gentle.
But sohow, that only made my heartbeat beco more unstable.
I swallowed hard imdiately.
Then Damien’s voice echoed from my other side. "We could satisfy you more than Noah ever would." His words were confident and firm.
And hearing that instantly made heat rush into my face out of anger and embarrassnt.
I could feel his warm breath near my other ear, making the situation feel even more suffocating.
What exactly was wrong with them?
Before I could respond, Adrien moved closer from behind completely.
One of his hands rested over mine against the handle while the other slowly wrapped around my waist possessively.
"We can only belong to you, Maria," he murmured softly. "No one else."
My breath hitched instantly.
The mate bond reacted so strongly to their closeness that it genuinely irritated , as their scents mixed together around and their warmth surrounded completely.
And worst of all...my body was reacting to them despite my frustration.
"Maria," Davian said softly from behind , then suddenly, I felt his lips brush lightly against my hair.
A shiver instantly ran down my spine.
"You cannot run away from us," he whispered gently. "You need to take responsibility."
I frowned imdiately.
Responsibility?
What exactly were they even talking about anymore?
"You have to marry us," Davian continued calmly, "and be responsible for us."
At that point, I genuinely felt like I was losing my mind.
I imdiately pulled my hands away from theirs and turned around sharply to face them. My chest rose and fell unevenly as I stared at all four of them in disbelief.
"Have you all completely lost your senses?" I asked breathlessly.
Yet, none of them looked ashad, not even slightly, if anything, they looked painfully serious.
As though every ridiculous word they had spoken actually made perfect sense to them.
And honestly, that terrified far more than I wanted to admit.
