And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 114: Bring Him Back

Staring up at the eyes of the man who stepped through the portal, my ears almost went deaf from what he had said. Not only did he

say he was Odin… as in the freaking God of Gods… but he was also my fucking dad.

“What are you talking about?” I was a chaotic mess, and as the tears flowed freely down my face, I tried to wrap my mind around what had happened. The war might have been over, but the problem was Damian was gone.

With him gone, it had all been for nothing.

My heart was absolutely broken.

“I mean exactly what I said, my daughter. I am your actual father, though the circumstances behind that are not as you would expect.”

“So you’re telling me that my father is actually a God and the man Zane, who had proclaimed to be my father, wasn’t?” I asked with confusion. There was no way this was possible, that I was the daughter of Odin.

He stared at me for a moment before Frigga nudged him, catching his attention. No words came from her mouth, but instead, she nodded to Damian and cocked an expectant brow.

“Of course, dear,” he replied under his breath before turning and making his way toward Damian.

I wasn’t quite sure what they were planning on doing, but Odin wasted no time in kneeling at Damian’s side, his eyes gazing over

the wound on Damian’s neck with concern. “Please, don’t take him from me.”

My words caused him to turn his gaze towards me with furrowed brows. “Your mate has not passed over into the land of the dead yet. His spirit still lingers here with us now. I can heal his wounds, but it is up to you and his brothers to bring him back.”

“Bring him back? We can do that?” James’s voice said in shock.

Turning my gaze behind me, I looked at my three mates, who had all shifted back. They stared with tears in their eyes, and hope on their faces. Never had I seen them this upset before, but Damian was their brother.

He was the person they had always looked up to.

“Yes, my children, you can bring your brother back. But it is also down to him if he wishes to return. He may be here in spirit among us, but his will is what will drive him to stay with you.”

Nothing but riddles floated in the air between us all. I wasn’t quite sure whether we could make it happen, but if we had to, I would do whatever it took to bring him back to me.
