And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 222

"She is great with kids. They are everything to her, but outside of that… she isn't herself. Something inside of her is changing."

I wasn't sure what it was, but Talon knew exactly what I meant. There was something within our bond that it was changing.

"I'll see if I can talk to her. Start the conversation out slowly and see if she opens up to me." Kate's offer made me smile. Perhaps she would have better luck.

As soon as Kate, Angel, and Talon left the office, and the door was closed, I rested my head within my palms, and tried to understand where I had gone wrong.

We had gone from exotic moments of sexual bliss to chaos that consumed us. A battle for her. The loss, the love, the reuniting, almost bringing death and now? It was as if everything we had gone through was for nothing, because everything was shattered once more.

More than anything, I couldn't wait for the day when things would be normal. I didn't understand what evil out there could cause so much complication for our relationship. Never had I ever heard of wolves that went through the things we do.

It was honestly beyond ridiculous.

I wanted my mate back.

I wanted my brother back.

Deciding I would turn in for the night, I stood up from where I sat, turning off the small lamp at the desk and made my way out of my office, closing the door behind me.

I didn't get far, though, before I ran into Priscilla, coming out from the kitchen, a hot cup of tea in her hand and a low, concentrated look on her face.
