And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 231

James.

Sitting at the kitchen counter the next morning, I stared off into the abyss, thinking about everything that had happened last night. Ivy had come into my room and rocked my world as she usually did, but she said something I couldn't explain.

A feeling that overwhelmed me, and like a passenger in a car, I was forced to take a back seat while something else moved forward. Thinking of it now, how whatever it was moved with Ivy in sexual pleasure all night long, slightly haunted me.

My Lycan was brought forth, awoken from its slumber, and I wasn't sure how it had worked for my brothers, but for me… it was completely done in a sexual nature.

And now that it was awake, I could feel it underneath my skin.

Waiting to break free.

Cackling in the back of my mind.

"Hey, James," Talon exclaimed happily, causing me to jump six inches off my chair as I spun around, staring at him with wide eyes.

"Don't do that."

Laughter escaped him as he stared at me with an odd smirk, furrowing his brows. "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

"I don't want to talk about it," I replied quickly as I tried to divert my attention back to the soggy cereal in the bowl in front of me.

How was I supposed to explain to my brothers what had happened? How Ivy was acting was completely unnatural.

It was like she was her, but also not.

As Talon stared at me, I tried to ignore his gaze, but then Hale came bounding into the kitchen with a smile upon his face and an empty bottle in his hand. He had taken shifts this morning with Ivy to feed the twins. We kind of rotated it just to make it fair, seeing as I spent most of my time with her and them, and they didn't get to that often.

I was grateful, though, for the rotation this morning because, honestly, I didn't think I could face her. After what she had done with me last night… I was in shock.
