And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 41: The Cabin

Ivy POV

The dripping sounds of water off pipes woke me from my sleep. My mind was a haze from the lack of food and clean air. I had reached out to the guys, trying with all my might to show them or tell them where I was, but my thoughts went unheard.

Was this what I had to look forward to? A life with nothing but false love and attention.

Pulling my weight forward, I sat up and tried to make sense of my surroundings. The cool metal of the shackle at my wrist clanging against the hard wet floor, drawing my attention to the hook on the floor.

If only there was something to undo these bolts.

‘Hale.’ I called out again in my mind as I pulled at my restraints. ‘Please talk to me.’

No matter how many times I tried, my cries went unanswered. “I have to get out of here.”

“I’ll do what I want!” Caleb’s booming voice came from up above.

I wasn’t sure what he and Mandy had been up to, but I could only imagine that it wasn’t anything good. The sharp pull of a door at the top of the stairs caught my attention. The slow, heavy footsteps on the stairs caused my heart to race.

“Good Morning, my future wife.” Caleb taunted as he came into view. “Did you sleep well?”

“Are you seriously asking me that? What kind of man would have his future wife and mate sleeping in a cold, damp basement on a dirty mattress?” The sarcastic retort left my lips with a trail of venom.

There was no way this man was going to be sweet when he had been nothing but toxic since the moment he kidnapped me in his house. Too many times had I fallen for his act, and now that I knew who he was, it would never happen again.

“Be it as it may, the harvest moon is tonight, my dear.”

How was that possible?! He said two days.. How is it already tonight?

“That’s not possible. It was just two days..” I whispered, trying to understand.
