And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 43: Damian vs. Caleb

Damian POV

I fucked up

It was the only thing I knew for sure, and with every last ounce of breath I had, I would find a way to make it right with Ivy. The moment that Hale found Mandy’s cabin, I was the first in the car to go save Ivy.

I didn’t want anyone else to do this besides me, because even though we were all supposed to be her mates, I knew without a doubt that things were worse with her and I. If, for some reason, our bond was broken… I would still try to make it right with her.

I couldn’t lose her.

She was perfect in the mess of confusion and clouded thoughts, and even still, I had no way of knowing what I was losing until I had lost it.

Looking up to the sky, I watched as the full moon turned orange, and the Harvest peaked in all its glory. I had only an hour to save her. After that, my time would be up and the bond would be broken.

I couldn’t let that happen.

I had to protect the bond. My selfishness was causing us all pain.

As the roar of wolves thundered against the ground, we found ourselves outnumbered, and even though I was an Alpha, there was still only so much I could do.

My brothers at my back, we pressed forward, taking down rogue after rogue.

Caleb’s human form watched from the porch with a smile on his face before shifting and heading straight for James. James was no match for Caleb and snapping a gray wolf’s neck, I leaped over two more running towards my youngest brother.

Thad to protect him. To save him from a fate that none of us would get over.

Snarling my breath came out in white pants of smoke against the cold air. Throwing my body at Caleb, i knocked his wolf out of the way. Growling as I stood protectively in front of James.

No one would mess with my brother but me.
