I need you all

Rylan's POV

"Eliza, come on. Let's go upstairs and talk." I offered my hand to the princess, and she eyed the four of us but took my hand anyway.

"What's going on, Rylan?" she asked as we made our way up the grand staircase, each step echoing with the weight of the conversation to come. The air in the palace felt heavy, but our mate needed to know.

Once inside her chamber, I was glad her father or brother hadn't stopped us. I knew they would be concerned about Eliza knowing what we would tell her.

Ed closed the door gently behind us, ensuring only five of us were in the room. The faint scent of polished wood and leather filled the air. ELIZA took a seat hesitantly on the edge of her bed, her curious eyes staring between us.

Me, Rio, Enzo and Ed stood in a loose semicircle around her concern etched on our faces.

"Eliza," I started taking a deep breath. We need to talk to you. We have to return briefly back to the pack. It's crucial, and we must return to handle some critical matters. We've been called back sooner than expected."

Eliza shook her head, her beautiful long hair falling down her shoulders. "I don't want you to leave if you're my mates, my support. I can't do this without you. I need you, all of you," she started to say.

Her vulnerability tucked at my heart strings. I moved closer to her, trying to convey reassurance.

“You're stronger than you think, Eliza. You know that, you've proved it enough times. You have Esmeralda and the palace backing you. This is your kingdom. You will be fine while we are away. Theron is waiting for us."

"And we will be back as soon as possible," Enzo added, his voice calm yet firm. You won't be alone."

But the unease in her eyes did not fade. If anything, it deepened. “What if something happens to you? What if something goes wrong while you're gone? What if my father does something reckless or Yelda and her cronies come?" she started to panic.

Rio took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "Eliza, you're going to be okay. We won't be gone for long, and we promise to come back."

She stood up and walked towards the window, wrapping her arms around herself. "Then you must go back to Creek and deal with your business," she said.

Me and my brothers exchanged serious looks. Eliza was worried; that was obvious.

"Eliza?" I called out softly to her.

"Yes?" she spun around and blushed when she saw us looking at her. Damn, she was so hot, I wanted to take her there and then. I knew my brothers felt the same way.

"We are here for you." I walked slowly towards her and traced a finger down her cheek. She shivered with excitement at my touch.

"Rylan. I.. !" she started to say, but I reached out and brushed my lips against her bare neck, causing her to hush immediately. She fell into me, wrapping herself so tightly against me that I couldn't stop my cock from hardening.

“I need you. All of you," she mumbled as I carried her to the bed and kissed her gently. Rio, Ed, and Enzo watched with hunger in their eyes.

"Come to me," Eliza said, sensing their urge to be close to her.

"Do you want this?" I asked, stroking her hair from her face and looking deep into her eyes. I wanted it more than anything, but I needed to be sure she did, too.

"I do."

We all leaned in and pressed our lips against her bare skin. She let out a small moan of pleasure. Her barriers melted away. I could feel her surrender her body, a beautiful acceptance that we were fated for one another.

Rio cupped her breast into his hand and bought his mouth to it, sucking gently. At the same time, Ed stroked her hair affectionately, Enzo trailed kisses down her chest, and I watched her face as she closed her eyes, taking in all the pleasurable feelings that radiated from her.

"My quadruplets mates, make love to me. I want to feel you inside me." she gasped, grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

The urgency in her voice sent a jolt of desire through me, igniting every nerve ending in my body. "Eliza, are you sure?" I asked, needing to ensure she understood the weight of what she was asking. Her fire and determination were palpable, but I wanted her to know the depth of our connection—that this was as much about her as it was about us.

"Yes," she breathed, her eyes locking onto mine. I could see the yearning reflected, pushing me over the edge. With a nod, I turned to my brothers, who were equally captivated by her.

"Let's show her just how much she means to us," Enzo said, his voice deep and filled with promise.

We surrounded her, our hands finding their way to her body, exploring her curves with a reverence that matched the rising tide of our desire. We took our time, savouring the moment and basking in the intoxicating atmosphere we had created together.

"Just relax, Eliza," Ed murmured, brushing his fingertips lightly against her arm. "We're here for you."

She nodded, her breathing quickening with each soft touch and gentle caress. I dropped my mouth to hers, tasting the sweetness of her lips as I captured her in a deep kiss that ignited a fire between us. I could feel her heart racing, matching the rhythm of our passion.

As our mouths moved together, Rio's hands glided down her sides, finding the hem of her dress and lifting it to reveal her smooth skin. "You're so beautiful," he whispered, almost reverently.

"Every part of you," I added, my voice steady yet thick with desire. I was entranced by how her body responded to us, how she melted beneath our hands—every caress eliciting soft sounds from her lips that spurred us on.

Enzo returned to her with gentle kisses on her collarbone, each promising what was to come. I leaned back for a moment, drinking in the sight of her wholly wrapped in our love, a vision of beauty and power that made my heart swell.

“Tell us what you want, Eliza," I urged, wanting to feel her guide us just as much as we were guiding her.

“I want you all," she confessed. "I want to feel alive with you. I wanted to be mated with the alpha quadruplets."
