And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 71: Legend of Sølvmåne

Talon POV

Waking up in the hospital was like waking up from a nightmare that never ended. Confusion filled my mind, and pain tore at my heart.

I was numb. So numb that I didn’t have the will to live.

Yet, through it all, she was there.

She broke through the darkness and set my soul on fire.

I didn’t know how long I had lived in darkness, but I remembered the moment it had swept through me and that was the night at the cabin. Watching her bleeding laying lifeless in Damian’s arms, I couldn’t control myself.

I had failed her.

Every moment of the time it took us to get her to hospital, my wolf had paced in my mind trying to get out. Trying to get to our mate, and when the moon over head finally revealed itself, it was like a damn broke.

“She is better without us—” Damian’s words replayed in my mind over and over again.

Those words haunted my every thought, and not able to contain myself, I gave my wolf control. I let the darkness swallow me whole and consume me, and after that I sought the only comfort I had, my beating heart.

It was a blessing and a curse.

Yet, something inside me stirred as my wolf saw her at the cabin with a girl I didn’t recognize. It thought the same as I had. She isn’t real… Her ghost was haunting us.

A vision of her beauty that never left and taunted our mind with games

Every broken memory burned me, but letting my eyes flutter open I realized it wasn’t true. She was here with me now, and the moment she kissed me yesterday, I felt my heart slowly mending.

Trying not to wake her, I brushed the loose strands of hair from her face. The same beautiful face I dreamt of so many times. As if realizing that I was awake, her lashes fluttered, and she peered up at me slowly.

“Good morning.” She said sleepily, with a small smile across her lips. “I’m sorry. Am I hurting you?”

She was a bit, but there was no way I was going to tell her that. “No, I like having you with me.”

Leaning up, she placed her lips against mine. Her tongue pushing for access I willingly gave into as a soft moan escaped me.

“I will never get used to that.” I murmured as she pulled away, blushing.

“Good, because you’re not allowed to leave me again.” There was seriousness and worry behind her words, and I understood just how she felt.

“I won’t.” I reassured her. “I promise.”

“Wakey wakey, hands off snakey.” A chipper voice called from the door as James peeked his head in and spotted us.

“Seriously?” Ivy laughed, slowly climbing off the bed, but not making it far as I reached out and grabbed her hand, not ready for her to leave.

Turning, she smiled at me, “I just have to use the bathroom. I will be right back.”

She pointed towards the bathroom door in the room, and reluctantly I nodded and let her go. My eyes, however, never left her sight. Even after the door closed, I panicked internally, waiting for it to open again.

“Talon-” Hale said, causing me to peer up at him, not realizing he had even walked into the room.

“You look like shit.” I replied with a smile.

He and James both laughed as Hale shook his head. “Says the man currently in the hospital bed.”

“Touche.”

There was a sense of belonging in the room I had forgotten about. These were my brothers, my best friends, and yet when Ivy had left before, I had forgotten all about them. None of it making sense.

“Okay, now that I’m done with that” Ivy laughed, exiting the bathroom with a smile.
