And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Dealing with the Past

James POV

Sitting in my darkened hotel room, I mulled over my reality. When I heard that Damian was in town, I contemplated running again. I didn’t want him to find me. The moment my bond with Ivy broke, I felt a pain in my chest that was unbearable.

My wolf and I were torn apart-the memory more than I can bear.

“James, you have to let her go.” Damian had yelled at me in the hospital hallway. “We are nothing but toxic for her. She deserves a normal life!”

Anguish gripped a hold of my soul as my heart raced, “no… I can’t. We can’t!”

 

Dropping to my knees, I stared at her hospital door. She was hurt because of me, because of us.

“If you loved her at all, you would let her go. It’s too late anyways.”

So that’s what I did… I let her go.

Snapping back to reality, I launched my beer bottle across the room, watching as it shattered and fell to the ground. I had let her go, but the moment I went to confront Damian at the restaurant, my breath was stolen from me.

She was there. She was with Damian, and they were happy together.

I couldn’t understand it. Trying to wrap my head around what I had seen, I stood to my feet and stormed from my hotel room. I need more alcohol. Anything to numb the pain I felt.

*Jarnes- an all too familiar voice called from behind me, stopping me in my tracks.

Damian

Clenching my fists tightly at my side, I turned to face him. “What the fuck are you doing here?

He looked the same as he always had, Calm, collected, and here on business.

That was his M.O, after all. “I came to bring you home.”

Laughter escaped me as I shook my head, “are you fucking serious?”

*Don’t act like this, James. You have been gone too long, and it’s time to come back to reality.”
