And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 86: Sexual Tension

“You did what?!” Damian yelled as I informed him and the others of Miss Harrison’s impromptu arrival within the next couple of days.

“What exactly did you want me to tell her, Damian? She sounded so pleasant on the phone, and I couldn’t very well say to the Council… Oh no, you guys are banned from com ing to our pack. We have to show them good faith regard less of what has happened. Perhaps we can get her on our side.”

— Damian pinched the bridge of his nose as he took slow, deep breaths in and out, trying to rein in his anger. I didn’t understand why he was making us such a big deal out of this. She was literally going to be here for a few days.

It wasn’t like she was just coming here purposely to spy on us, or at least I hoped that wasn’t the case. Now that I thought about it, I was suddenly second-guessing myself, but it was too late to do anything now.

“Ivy, you always talk to us about stuff like this before you just do whatever you want. You are not in the greatest of conditions right now between the pregnancy and your uncontrollable urges to do whatever the fuck you want. It doesn’t really make you the best host,” Damien replied, set

ting my nerves on edge.

Who did he honestly think he was?!

So yes, I might be a little emotional and may have mo ments of hunger that range in various ways, but that doesn’ t mean I can’t be a delightful host.

Giving Damian ‘the look’, I pushed aside the frustration and let out a heavy sigh. “Damian, for once, will you just trust me? Please get the guest house ready. The elder knows of the construction and will only be here for like, two days. I will be a proper Luna during that time. I promise.”

Turning away from him, I made my way upstairs to wards my room, but as soon as I got outside of my bed room door, 1 froze in my place, and something inside me told me to see Priscilla.

I wasn’t sure why the sudden urge came over me, but it did so. Groaning in protest, I turned and walked towards the staircase that led to her room. I knew she would expect me, and sure enough, as I got to the top, she opened the

door before I could even knock.

“You look absolutely exhausted, dear,” she replied with a mischievous glint in her eye.

“I am exhausted. Who knew dealing with these men was

going to be so exhausting?”

The sarcastic joke I made caused her to laugh, and as I entered her room, I noticed the two glasses of tea she had sitting on the coffee table waiting for me.

“You always know when I’m coming.”

Shrugging her shoulders, she walked forward and took her seat. “Yes, but that isn’t important. Why don’t you tell me what’s on your mind?”

“Where do I even start?” | groaned as I flopped down on the chair, sighing dramatically.

She watched for a moment, “Did you tell them about your dreams?”

Glancing at her, I shook my head no. “I don’t know how to, and as much as I want to tell them, I think it’d be best to speak to those above before I do.”

“That choice is yours, dear, but I already gave you my opinion about it. I don’t think that you should wait. Espe cially if it’s something of importance.”

I knew she was right, but I was in denial.
