A Rogue For The Quadruplet Alpha's.

NOAH.

After the vows were exchanged, I held Maria’s hands gently in mine.

Even her hands were covered beneath the red silk fabric, making me almost laugh softly to myself.

Was she truly this shy?

Did she intend to cover every single part of herself until the very last moment?

The thought alone amused me deeply.

A quiet chuckle escaped my lips as I glanced briefly toward her veil again. I could barely see anything beneath it, not her eyes and not her expression.

And somehow, that only made my anticipation worse.

My fingers tightened slightly around hers as I led her away from the altar.

The guests immediately burst into cheers and celebration behind us while the ceremonial drums echoed loudly through the hall.

But amidst all the excitement, I still noticed them—The quadruplets—their faces had gone completely pale.

A smug satisfaction rose inside me again at the sight. For once, they could do absolutely nothing.

Maria was officially my wife now.

Mine.

I guided her carefully toward our room while guards and servants moved respectfully aside to create a path for us.

The outside of the room had been decorated beautifully with long red ribbons and flowers hanging elegantly around the entrance.

Everything looked festive, joyful and perfect.

This was the final step.

To complete the wedding rites, we had to consummate the marriage while the guests continued celebrating outside.

The realization alone made my heartbeat quicken instantly. My free hand trembled slightly by my side despite all my attempts to stay calm.

And strangely enough, I could also feel Maria’s nervousness through her covered hands.

She was tense.

Two guards stood firmly outside the room as instructed.

I trusted no one tonight.

Especially not the quadruplets.

At this point, I genuinely felt like if I looked away carelessly, they might somehow attempt to snatch my bride from me.

Ridiculous.

Yet the thought still lingered stubbornly in my mind.

The moment we stepped inside, the door clicked shut behind us softly.

Silence immediately filled the room, warm, heavy and intimate.

Maria walked slowly toward the bed before sitting down carefully, her hands folded together neatly on her lap.

She still hadn’t spoken.

I swallowed hard.

For a moment, I simply stood there staring at her—at my wife.

Then slowly, I began walking toward her. My pulse pounded harder with every step I took.

Finally, I would get to see her face properly.

I reached forward carefully and touched the edge of her veil.

But then suddenly...

"Alpha Noah!"

The loud panicked shout shattered the atmosphere instantly.

I froze.

My brows furrowed immediately in irritation as I let the veil fall back into place.

Who dared interrupt me now?

But then recognition hit instantly.

Odion.

That voice belonged to Odion.

And I had specifically ordered him to report immediately if anything suspicious happened.

My expression darkened at once.

A cold uneasiness crept slowly into my chest.

Did something actually go wrong?

The thought alone immediately ruined the warmth building inside me moments ago.

But the agin, at this moment, nothing felt more important than consummating my marriage with Maria.

And honestly, I was already irritated enough that we had been interrupted.

What if the quadruplets somehow took advantage of this distraction and slipped in here?

The thought alone annoyed me deeply.

Maria would definitely curse at me if that happened.

And worse—Leaving my bride alone immediately after bringing her into our wedding room would bring unnecessary shame to her reputation.

How was she supposed to command respect as Luna in the future if people started whispering that her husband abandoned her on their wedding night?

No.

Absolutely not.

After thinking briefly, I spoke firmly toward the door.

"Not now, Odion," I said. "Come back later."

For a second, silence followed, but then odion insisted.

"Alpha, it’s very urgent," Odion replied immediately.

My brows furrowed, as there was tension in his voice and suddenly, irritation gave way to uneasiness.

Without wasting another second, I immediately opened the mind link between us.

"What’s the issue?" I asked coldly.

"Lady Sonia is no longer in her room," Odion responded instantly.

My heart skipped violently inside my chest.

What?

A dark feeling settled heavily within me immediately.

"Find her," I ordered sharply without hesitation.

I couldn’t allow Sonia to create problems.

Not today.

Of all the possible days she could regain consciousness, why did it have to be today?

Why my wedding day?

"We already did, Alpha," Odion replied quickly.

For a second, I nearly lost my temper completely.

If they had already found her, then why was he disturbing me now?

Why interrupt me at such an important moment?

"What exactly is wrong with you, Odion?" I asked irritably through the mind link, my tone already edged with impatience. "Why are you disturbing me?"

A brief silence followed my question, but it only made my irritation grow sharper.

"Forgive me, Alpha..." Odion’s voice finally came through again, but this time it sounded strained, almost unsteady. "It’s just that...I came too late."

My brows rose slowly in confusion.

Too late?

I repeated the words in my head, trying to make sense of them, but they refused to settle properly.

What was that supposed to mean?

A strange coldness began creeping down my spine instantly, slow and unsettling, like a warning I didn’t want to acknowledge.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked again, this time more slowly, my voice dropping slightly as caution replaced irritation.

There was another pause,onger this time.

And in that silence, my mind betrayed me.

It began to fill in the gaps on its own.

Worst-case scenarios forming one after another without permission.

Dead?

The thought struck sharply.

Was Sonia dead?

No.

I shut that idea down immediately.

If she had died, Odion would have said it outright without hesitation.

Unless...Something worse had happened.

My jaw tightened instantly as the unease deepened in my chest.

"Speak," I commanded sharply, my voice turning dangerously cold now, leaving no room for delay or hesitation.
