And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 92: Understanding Death

Talon.

When Ivy glared at me and told me the woman was hers, I knew without a doubt that something terrible was about to happen. Without even a warning, she took off in a full sprint as fast as she could from the property. The car had long sped away down the driveway but knowing Ivy, that wouldn’t stop her.

“We have to stop her,” James cried out. “She’s pregnant, and she hurt the babies,”

James had a point. Damien wasn’t here yet. Hale was in town until the end of the day. James was a good man and was too able to take care of a lot. But he didn’t have the power needed to subdue Ivy like this.

Shifting into my wolf, I took off across pack territory, darting over the lawns down the hills towards the woods where Ivy had disappeared through. I had to find her. I couldn’t let her do something she would absolutely regret. Even though she was the same person, she just seemed to have this alter ego that pushed through, making her more dominant when she shifted.

I knew deep down she would feel nothing but guilt if she ended up killing this woman. It would be the first person she had physically killed.

That sort of thing was never easy for anyone.

Catching her scent, I moved faster, pushing myself as hard as I could, her body coming into the distance as I kept trekking over the lands until, abruptly, she stopped. Not wanting her to know I was chasing after her, I halted in my position, hiding behind the shrubbery of the woods, watching her, waiting to see what she was going to do.

She was hunting, seeking this woman as if this woman was an elk that became her prey.

There was no stopping a wolf when it was in mid-hunt. They were dangerous, primal, and very territorial.

With Ivy not technically being a wolf, but being something else entirely-there was no telling what she could do.

The mind link that linked my brothers and me and even Ivy was going wild. However, Ivy’s side was dormant. She had closed herself off in order to focus, and I had to push back mine in order to focus on her.

‘Where are you?’ Damien pushed through the link, using his alpha tone, catching me by surprise. ‘Currently about 5 miles north of the pack. She’s hunting!

‘She already ran five miles? There’s no way she was able to do that. Are you sure of your location?’ Damien snapped.

Did he really, honestly, think I didn’t know where I was? 

I grew up on these lands. These woods were my gain out of the four of us. I was the more primal hunter. There was no way they would know these woods better than I did.

‘Are you seriously going to f*****g ask me that question?’

Silence met me, and at the moment I had been dealing with Damian, Ivy bolted without warning, running north, deeper and deeper into the darkness and thicket of the woods. I followed her.
