Chapter 7: A blast from the past, the other quintuplet

"Sir, isn't that her?" A man says. "I think so, she looks like the girl in the picture," another 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 who 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 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 look 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 Ameli, 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 linking my sisters. "Hey, I won't come home today, and I don't know when I will. I couldn't buy the groceries either, so one of you has 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. "Al, so they said some Alpha's name and that they would be happy to see me ag," 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,h I know, and I'm thankful for them, I'm just saying that she is lucky,y" Mia says with a duh tone. I roll my 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,w but we can still hope," Mia says. "We will find out soon enough,h" 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 picnic 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, Josep, and his family. Joseph is a wolf with a high rank in their pack because he is one of their best soldiers. 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 o,,ld 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 quintuplets; Oliver is 6 years old, and Ace is 7 years old. They are befriended with the quintuplet, because their parents were friends, so they knew each other since the day they were bo, rn and luckily could get along pretty well. Stanley waltzes into the living room. "We're leaving," Stanley says to his daughters. "Okay, daddy," They said, and got 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 picnic?" Stanley asks Joseph. "My wife made together with the children ice cream and also a few sandwiches. What did you bring?" He asks him. "We made cupcakes together and smoothies," He says. "Cupcakes!" Asher screams happily and runs outside. Oliver and Ace follow him behind. Veronica just walks downstairs. Their stairs are in their hallway. "Careful!" 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 bend. After all, her belly is too big. She's 3 months pregnant, which looks like 7 months pregnant for humans. Werewolves only get 4 months pregnant. The boys ran towards the girls, and they all started talking to each other about TV shows they had seen. The group walks towards the forest, which is right next to their pack. They walk towards an open area next to a pond. They place 2 picnic 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 quintuplets, 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, you 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 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, but it's too late for them. All 3 of them are lying unconscious ground with now more than 3 rogues surrounding them. "He will come soon," He lies to her. "We need to bring the girls insafelyy first, then we will come back with reinforcement, they are with way too many. And I think it's too late anyway, I saw them lying Unconsciously, on the groundJoseph'spmind mind links 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's mind links back. Joseph came back with a few soldiers from 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 that there is 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 thei3-year-oldld daughter searching for her, she can't be that far," He says to the soldiers. He is worried that they may have taken her, but also hopeful that she may have 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, hadn't found 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, though," Joseph says honestly. One of the soldiers who 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 piece 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 who was left behind that day. Sometimes I still feel guilty about it, and I can sense that my other sisters feel guilty sometimes,s, 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 lying lifeless on the ground. Something that we were all afraid of was 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 a it different, and she has bigger "curves". What? I'm not a perv, it's just obvious. "You aren't Ang,e l, I, ay, a bit saddened. Yeah,h but I have a question, did her parents die RogueRouge 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.
