Navy's Sons: Bullied by Quadruplet Stepbrothers novel Chapter 49

44.Wedding Aftermath

Tabitha’s POV

Two days after the wedding, my mom and Alpha Emery set off from the Sharpe Hotel for their honeymoon tour across Europe. I also didn’t see my stepbrothers when I was eating my breakfast at the restaurant. I overheard that they left early in the morning after receiving a report of rogue activity somewhere on the island. With my mom and the stepbrothers out of the picture, I’m practically left behind at the hotel with only a few remaining Crystal Ridge Pack members and staff.

I’m not sure how I’m supposed to entertain myself now. I mean, the Sharpe hotel offers a lot of luxurious amenities but I honestly feel out of place here. Arthur is also no longer around, so there goes my plan to chat with someone I actually know. It’s not like the members of the Crystal Ridge pack are eager to talk to me.

Or at least, that’s what I thought. Because as I walk of back to the hallway leading to my room, a group familiar-looking people block my way. They’re definitely werewolves, alright. And old.

think they’re one of the elders in the Crystal Ridge pack. Some of them actually look familiar.

“Uh, do you need something?” I ask tentatively. If they do, I have a feeling it’s not something I will like just by the way they are looking at me.

“Yes, we want to speak with you,” the man who appears to be the oldest of the bunch replies. “I’m Eli, the Delta of Crystal Ridge pack. I believe we have something very important to talk about, Tabitha Huxley.”

Delta? He’s the third in command in the pack? I knew he looks familiar. And he wants to talk to me… exactly at the day when Alpha Emery, my mother, and the Aldair brothers left? I don’t have a good feeling about this.

“I’m not sure exactly sure what you need from me, sir. But, uh. Would you mind waiting until my stepbrothers come back from their guarding duty?” I offer. I don’t trust the Aldair brothers with all of my heart, but at least I think they won’t find this ambush talk appealing.

“They have other important things to worry about and duties on their shoulders. They shouldn’t concern themselves over this matter. Over you,” the woman with 5 long brown hair speaks this time. She’s probably just a

maybe all of them hates me. Shit. This is bad.

Okay…” the word lingers on my tongue a bit longer than necessary as I take a careful step back. “What exactly do you want from me?”

“We just want to ask… when are you planning to leave the island?” Delta Eli asks bluntly.

“What?” What the hell are they talking about? “Why would I leave this island? My mother is here.”

Ava’s lip curls as if the very sight of me leaves a bad taste in her mouth. “Isla has married our Alpha. Although I still find it hard to wrap my head around why our Alpha

“What are you talking about?”

“You think of yourself as a defenseless girl? Is that how you charm your way into the Aldair family? To the Alpha and his sons? You play the weak human girl really well, and you’re using that to your advantage to secure your position within this pack. We were right, you are a liability.” Malice drips in every word she spouts.
