And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 46: Mutual Understanding

Two days passed since I had arrived back at the pack house, and little by little Damian realized when I said I wasn’t doing something-it wasn’t going to happen.

He attempted to get me on the plane the day before but I stood firm in my place and refused to go. There was no talking to me about it— no forcing me to do it. Nothing.

He had my bags packed by the door and even attempted to throw me over his shoulder, but all his methods proved to be useless.

I’m a stubborn woman, and when I say something, I stand my ground.

In the end, he roared in frustration and shut himself in his office with no communication towards me for the rest of the day.

Honestly, it was peaceful.

”

After giving up on the notion of me leaving, Damian had his servants move me into the main house. He claimed he wanted to make sure I wouldn’t run away or do something stupid.

As if that would actually happen.

I wanted to know where the others were, and I wouldn’t leave until I did.

Determination set into me to find them. To make everything right again, and with that determination, I had found myself so behind in my studies that I was struggling to catch up.

Day and night I went through my textbooks and worked on papers, but no matter the amount of time I spent working hard to achieve my dream, I always felt a mile away.

“Still studying?” Damian’s voice called out as he entered the kitchen.

I had set up a study at the kitchen island while I waited for my pizza to finish a few hours before.

“I don’t know-” I said sarcastically,”all my books and my laptop are out. Is that what it looks like?”

He stood there staring at me through narrowed eyes. “You don’t have to be a bitch.”

“That’s rich coming from someone who has been nothing but an asshole towards me since I came to this stupid town.

Sighing dramatically, he turned towards the fridge and opened it. “Are we really going to keep bickering every time we have a conversation, Ivy? Because if that’s how it’s going to be, you can leave.”

Laughter escaped my lips as I shook my head. “You would like that, wouldn’t you? The only Alpha in history I hear that wants to get rid of his mate. Some Alpha you are.”

He yelled, turning to face me.
