Chapter 52: Accepting the Future

Damian POV

When I walked into the house, I knew it was late. I knew my brother James wouldn’t fight the urge to see her. Out of all of us, he cared for her the most in the past.

She was everything to him.

His first real love. His only love.

“You’re awake.” James turned from the open fridge towards me and nodded. No longer was he unkempt and dirty. They must have had fun because he was now freshly shaven and showered in my kitchen. “Where’s Ivy?”

 

“Sleeping.” He quickly retorted as he placed a bottle of water on the counter with the sandwich he had obviously made. “Care to explain to me what happened?”

“Are you going to actually listen this time?” I responded with a smirk as I walked towards the counter taking a seat.

James wasn’t impressed by my attitude but nonetheless, he rolled his eyes and shrugged, “don’t push it, Damian. This was all your fucking fault to begin with.”

Pressing back the annoyance I wanted to lash upon him, I squared my shoulders and let a breath escape me. “I understand I fucked up in the past, James. I can’t change the past, but I am trying to fix things now if you will help me.”

“Help you?” He snorted, that’s rich.”

“I’m serious. We came here to find you first. Next, we are going after Hale.”

James stared at me with a blank expression, “he left too?”

Nodding, I sighed. “You all did. She woke up, and I was the only one still there for her.”

My revelation made him flinch, but no matter the guilt he may have felt, I knew why he did what he did. I wanted to do the same thing, but one of us had to be there when she woke up.

“How could I not feel the bond before, but as soon as she touched me, I could? That shouldn’t be possible, Damian.”

* I know.” He was right. It shouldn’t be possible. “I took her to see the seer. She explained that Ivy is favored by the goddess, and now the bond has been left to her. She can choose a normal life, mating with one of us or a few… Or she can have us all. At the end of the day, though, it’s her choice.”
