And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 47: Dealing with Allison

Damian POV

Walking into my office, I felt a surge of anger wash over me that I and my wolf couldn’t understand. I wanted more than anything to claim her as mine and make it to where she couldn’t leave. But then I would open my mouth and do nothing but push her away.

I was a fucking fool to think that this mate bond or whatever stupid nonsense it was actually held meaning.

Ivy was right about one thing, though. I’m the only Alpha in history that rejects the idea of having a mate, and that was something that most didn’t appreciate.

As I approached my liquor cabinet, I didn’t stop myself from reaching for the amber-filled bottle, pouring myself a glass to down my sorrows. It had become the only thing I could do lately to dampen my mind from thoughts of her.

Her sweet and gentle nature always pulled me in, and when the fiery spark in her came to life, my wolf and I were automatically turned on.

Just thinking about her in that way made my dick throb with anticipation over the day I would finally get to have her. If she even let me.

Lost in my thoughts, my phone rang to life, and with a groan of irritation, I pulled it from my pocket to see that Allison was calling.

“Hello?” I replied, annoyed by her continuing pestering.

“Damian, I’m just letting you know we will be back late tonight instead of tomorrow.”

Rolling my eyes, I sighed, “okay and why were you calling me to tell me this?”

“Well, because I want to see you when I get there.” She replied with amusement, lacing her tone. Disgust filled me, thinking about how many times she tried to hint to me that she and I would be strong together. I was older than the others when we went to live with her and considering that Allison was nothing but power-driven. I knew her end game.

“I will be in bed, Allison.” I stated firmly. “Ivy and I have a lot to do tomorrow before we leave.”

“Ivy?!” she shrieked, “I thought you got rid of that little useless bitch, Damian.”

A warning growl left my lips at her words. “Watch how you speak about her. She is still my mate.”

Laughter filled the other side of the phone, and I knew her and Zane coming back was going to cause nothing but problems. “Mate? Last time I checked, you and the others lost your mate. It’s time you get rid of that little harlot and take a chosen mate, Damian.”

I didn’t miss the way she emphasized the words chosen mate.

Deciding to save my battles for another day, I hung up the phone, gripping it tightly in my hand. I had no doubt that when Allison got back with Zane, she was going to cause issues with Ivy.
