And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 264

My time in the office with Hale and Talon had been exactly as I had remembered it being. Absolutely intoxicating. The only difference was their Lycans could no longer play, and honestly, I preferred it.

I preferred knowing the aggression they had for me was their own, and not the influence of a beast inside them. They were my mates, and it was them I fell in love with.

Not the Lycans that once possessed them.

Making my way downstairs, freshly showered and ready for the night, I was stunned when I walked down the stairs only to find Kate, Angel, their new baby, my mother, and my mother's mate all standing in the foyer waiting for me.

"Oh my God, what did you guys get here?" I squealed with excitement as I cleared the last few steps and ran over to them, giving them all hugs.

"We've been here for about the last hour or so. They said you were upstairs taking a shower, so we settled into our rooms," Kate replied as she turned around and showed me the car seat with the newborn baby fast asleep.

"Oh, my goodness. She's so beautiful," I cooed as she set the car seat down and picked the baby out of it, handing her over to me. "What's her name?"

"Her name is Dalia." The name was just as beautiful as the child who slept peacefully in my arms. This was the size I had remembered my twins being before everything that had happened, and holding her now almost brought tears to my eyes as I thought about it.

Pushing those emotions back, though, I handed her back to Kate as I turned to my mother and the mysterious Dr. Blake. "I'm glad to see that you're back, mom. And you, thank you so much for taking care of her."

"It was a pleasure," he chuckled as he pulled my mother close. "I would take care of her a hundred times over if I could."
