And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Teasing James

Ivy.

Standing at the back door, looking at the guys by the clubhouse, I found confusion about what was happening. It wasn’t like them to ignore me the first time I called, but I knew I wasn’t the center of their world.

At least, I didn’t think I was.

However, what caught my attention the most was how uncomfortable James looked. I had watched them before ! came outside, and I saw how James dramatically flailed his arms around as if he was telling them a story. A story I fully knew already.

I could tell what happened last night had been on his mind this morning. The link we shared going crazy as he tried to push his thoughts aside and think of baseball, of all things, as I was trying to read him.

 

It was all too obvious though, and chuckling internally, I found amusement in how the great ‘playboy’ James was act ing right now. 

Power surged through me like nothing I had ever felt be fore, and for once, I was content, determined to get Damian back instead of feeling depressed.

I missed him, but I was taking the initiative instead of whining and crying about something I couldn’t change. I was going to fix this.

I was going to get him back one way or another,

“What’s going on? Is everything okay?” Hale said with a soft smile as he looked at me.

I could sense the beast lurking beneath his skin. It called out to me. Purring in a sense, but he held him back quite well. The Lycan respected him and chose to stay held back, not that it couldn’t break free if it wanted to.

Hale and Talon had years of experience, though. Years of practice at control.

James was new to it, and the more he freaked out, the more out of control he would be.

I could almost see the electrifying aura that flowed over their skin. After awakening James last night, something in me changed, and I awoke this morning with a whole new outlook on life. I could see things I had never seen before.

“Yes, of course. Everything’s okay,” | smiled. “Is James okay? He looks absolutely flustered.”

The boys turned back to see James walking up towards us. A forced smile upon his face before he stopped, rubbing the back of his neck as he stared at me with a lopsided grin. “Hey Ivy, everything okay?”

Taking a moment, I stared at him as the corners of my lips turned up into a small smirk. “I’m great. A better question would be, are you okay?”
