And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 59: Unwanted Visitors

By the time we had made it back to the states, I was more than worn out. The plane ride hadn’t been like the others, and as much as I wished it would have been, I couldn’t help but think that was partially my fault.

I wasn’t as forthcoming as I was before.

“We’re here,” Hale whispered softly in my ear as I looked up at him. I was still pressed firmly against him in the back seat of the car as we drove from the airport to the pack house.

“Finally,” I replied. “I can’t wait to get out of this car and stretch my legs.”

There was an eerie silence as the car came to a slow stop. All three of the guys were sitting up straight before looking at each other. “When we stop Ivy, I want you to stay in the car.”

“What?” I asked with confusion. “Why?”

Just for once, please do as you’re told. Please,” Damian begged with a sigh as my eyes met Hale’s and he nodded in agreement.

“Okay. I’ll stay in the car.”

Slowly the car moved forward more, but as it stopped, I finally got a glimpse of what was worrying them. Allison and my father stood with a group of older men at the front of the pack house and a smirk adorned Allison’s face.

“What the fuck is she doing here?” I snapped in anger as she stared at the car with amusement.

“I don’t know, Ivy.” Damian replied, “but just please stay here. We don’t want you to get hurt.” Knowing Allison was here, I couldn’t make any promises to him, but one thing was for sure, I would wait and see what happened first.

All three of the guys exited the car and started talking to those present. Voices were raised and glares were being thrown. However, when Allison slapped Hale in the face, I about lost my shit. Ignoring what they said, I jumped from the car, “lay your fucking hand on them again and I’ll kill you myself, bitch.”

Laughter erupted in the crowd as the group stared at me, oh, this little human has jokes, doesn’t she?”

James quickly was at my side as he looked down at me, shaking his head, “why don’t you ever listen?” He smirked.

“Hey, I did listen. Until she touched what is mine,” I murmured as I watched her say something to the guy next to her.

“Why is this human even here?” Allison yelled, “she is nothing to this pack and should be long gone. There is no bond anymore!”

Pushing past James, his arms wrapped around my waist as I glared at her and pulled down the collar of my shirt to expose James’ mark. “The bond isn’t gone, dumbass. The rules just changed.”

Shock ran through the woman and seeing this sent pleasure through my chest. I had something on her she wasn’t aware of, and I planned to complete the prophecy. Regardless of what Damian and Hale had done… they were both still mine.

“That isn’t possible!” She yelled. “It’s a trick!”

The men with her didn’t seem to be very enthusiastic about how Allison was acting. Her desperate attempts to cause issues were irrelevant. “Allison enough.” One of the men said.
