chapter seven: a blast from the past, the other quintuplet

Leilani's POV

"Sir isn't that her?" A man says. "I think so, she looks like the girl on the picture" An other man says. I'm just walking through the market, I'm buying groceries for me and my sisters.

Then they walk towards me. "Aren't you that girl Angel?" The older one asks. He shows me a picture of a girl that looks a lot like me.

I frown. I get confused with my sisters a lot because we look like each other. We are a quad but actually a quintuplet, but our youngest sister died years ago with our parents so now we are technically a quad.

But who on earth is Angel? And why does she looks like me (and my sisters) so much? I open my mouth but then I close it again. I wanted to say no but I want to find out what this is all about and why she looks like me.

Our family searched for our sister since the day that she disappeared. That's because we only found the dead bodies of our parents but not hers. So we hoped that she was still alive. We gave up after years of searching but we still have a little bit of hope. "Yes" I answer after thinking about it.

They smile at each other. "Alpha Tristan, Luna Amelia and Alpha Dylan will be so happy to see you again!" The older one says happy.

I fake smile and nod. I follow him towards a car. I frown. Who are those people he mentioned?

I mind link my sisters. "Hey I won't come home today and don't know when I will. I couldn't buy the groceries either so one of you have to do that" I say.

"Why? what are you going to do?" Chiara asks. "Some guys think I am a girl named Angel, She looks surprisingly much like us" I explain.

"So we don't get food?" Mia asks. I roll my eyes. "You too? Some guys walked over me and asked the same thing, I said no and shrugged it off" Chelsea says.

Strange. "Also they said some Alpha's name and that they would be happy to see me again" I say. "Maybe it is Ali! Was she adopted by an Alpha? Lucky!" Mia says.

"We all know that she died with our parents years ago. And what is wrong with our adoptive parents? They aren't Alpha and Luna but they are a higher rank and are well respected fighters of our pack, plus they can find it well with our Alpha and Luna" I say.

"Yeah I know and I'm thankful for them, I'm just saying that she is lucky" Mia says with a duh tone. I roll me eyes again. "And by the way we don't know for sure it's her. Like last time, it happened to be a random girl they thought was Chelsea for some reason" Chiara says.

"Yeah why me?" Chelsea complains. "I know but we can still hope" Mia says. "We will found out soon enough" I say and sigh. I cut off the mind link.

Flashback...

no one's POV

The 5 little girls are playing together with their dolls in the living room. Their parents planned to go picknick with their children today. Stanley, who is the father of the quintuplet, his brother Alex and also his brother's mate Angelina will also come.

He also invited his best friend Joseph and his family. Joseph is a wolf with a high rank in their pack because he is one of their best soliders.

Stanley is an Omega because he is too weak to fight in their army. That never bothered them, they were best friends since they were 7 years old and never cared about each other's rank.

Joseph's mate Veronica and their children named, Asher, Oliver and Ace will also come. Asher is 4 years old just like the quintuplet, Oliver is 6 years old and Ace is 7 years old.

They are befriended with the quintuplet, because their parents were friends they knew each other since the day they were born and luckily could get along pretty well.

Stanley walks inside the living room. "We're leaving" Stanley says to his daughters. "Okay daddy" They say and get up. They are very excited for the trip.

They follow their father outside. Outside their mother Simone, their uncle Alex and their aunt Angelina wait for them.

Stanley put his arms protectively over his wife's stomach. She's pregnant with their son. They first walk towards the house of Joseph to pick him up. Stanley rings his doorbell.

They greet each other. "What did you bring for the picknick?" Stanley asks Joseph. "My wife made together with the children ice cream and also a few sandwhiches, what did you bring?" He asks him.

"We made cupcakes together and smoothies" He says. "Cupcakes!" Asher screams happy and runs outside. Oliver and Ace follow him behind. Veronica just walks downstairs.

Their stairs is in their hallway. "Carefull!" Joseph says panicky. Veronica rolls her eyes. "I'm just pregnant not dying" She says. He helps her put on her shoes because she can't bent because her belly is too big.

She's 3 months pregnant, which looks like 7 months pregnant for humans. Werewolfs only get 4 months pregnant. The boys ran towards the girls and they all start talking to each other about tv shows they saw.

The group walks towards the forest, which is right next to their pack. They walk towards an open area next to a pound.

They place 2 picknick cloths on the ground and sit down. The children are playing tag you're it while the adults talk. Now and then the children take a break to eat ice cream or a cupcake.

What they don't know is that they're being watched by 3 rouges, and that they are hungry. Alira, the youngest of the quintuplet looks at the bush they are behind.

She thought that she saw something. Then she sees yellow wolf eyes looking back at her. "AAAAAH" She screams.

The wolves come out of their hiding place. "Alira come back here now!" Her dad yells at her. She runs back towards them but gets caught.

"Everybody come here!" Joseph yells at the other children. They run back to their parents. The rouges come closer to them. "Turn into your wolf and run!" Joseph says.

Everybody does so. The little girls have trouble with running. "Sit on my back" Joseph says to Mia who runs next to him.

She turns into human form and sits down on his back. Leilani sits on veronica's back, Chiara on Alex's back and Chelsea on Angelina's back.

One of the rouges attacked Simone and also Alira so Stanley stayed to protect them.

"Where's daddy?" Leilani the oldest asks. Joseph looks behind him, it's too late for them. All 3 of them are laying unconciously on the ground with now more than 3 rouges surrounding them.

"He will come soon" He lies to her. "We need to bring the girls in safety first, then we will come back with reinforcement, they are with way too many. And I think it's too late anyways, I saw them laying unconciously on the ground" Joseph mindlinks to the adults.

Veronica looks behind her and sees a puddle of blood surrounding Stanley and his wife. "Poor girls, they are without parents. And poor Alira she was so young" Veronica mind links back.

~*~*~*~

Joseph came back with a few soldiers of their pack. There he is, his best friend with his mate, death on the ground, surrounded by way too much blood, and also a few missing limbs, probably eaten by the rogues. He notices that Simone's stomach is open and under the blood.

He knew that she was a month pregnant with their first son. They killed their unborn baby too. Joseph has to stop himself from crying, he has to stay strong.

"Bring them back to the pack, they will get a proper funeral" Joseph says to the soldiers. He doesn't want to bring them back himself, he still can't believe that his best friend got brutally murdered.

He looks around. "Where's Alira?" He says out loud. He starts to worry but also gets hopeful. "They were also here with their 3 years old daughter, search for her, she can't be that far" He says to the soldiers. He is worried that they maybe took her, but also hopeful that she maybe escaped.

~*~*~*~

He comes back home. He walks inside the living room and sees Stanley's 4 daughters scared and crying on the couch.

He walks towards his mate Veronica. "We found them dead, they will bring them here so we can give them a funeral" He says. Veronica looks with pity and tears in her eyes at the little girls on the couch.

"So that means we have to keep our promise" He says. When the girls were born Joseph and Veronica became their godfather and godmother because Alex, Joseph's brother, didn't find his mate yet and also used to be a full time soldier so there was a possibility he didn't survive.

So now they will keep their promise, and adopt Joseph's and Simone's children. "But I also have good news, sort of, Alira wasn't found so she must be alive" He says. Veronica looks hopeful at him. "So she is safe?" She says. "I'm not sure about that" Joseph says honest.

~*~*~*~

One of the soldiers that searched for Alira mindlinked Joseph to meet him. Right now they are in the centre of their pack. "We didn't find her but we did find this" He says and gives a peace of cloth with an emblem of a pack on it.

End of flashback...

Leilani's POV

The worst thing of all, she was the only one that was left behind that day. Sometimes I still feel guilty about it and I can sence that my other sisters feel quilty sometimes too.

I can remember that day so clearly, as if it happened yesterday. I knew I shouldn't have looked, but I looked behind me and saw all 3 of them laying lifeless on the ground. Something that we all were afraid of is that maybe they caught her. Or maybe Alira did escape and got adopted by an Alpha?

I follow the 2 guys towards a car. One opens the door for me and I get in. They both get in as well and we drive away. Let's find out.

Dylan's POV

I smile when I see her walking towards us. I was so worried even though she was gone only for a few days. Still there's something off about her.

She looks longer, her hair is bit different and she has bigger "curves". What? I'm not a pervert it's just obvious.

"You aren't Angel" I say a bit saddened. "Yeah but I have a question, did her parents die in a Rouge attack?" She asks. I frown. How does she know?

"Yes, why?" My father asks. "I have a feeling that she might be my sister" She says.
