And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Sleeping Beauty

Damian.

I never really thought about what it would be like to die. However, the moment I faced it, the only thing I could think of was Ivy. Her beautiful blue eyes. Her long, enchanting hair. Not to mention how she trembled beneath my fingers when I took her, kissed her, and loved her.

The way she deserved to be loved.

That moment ran through my mind often. Plagued my dreams with nightmares as I tried to forget what had happened. I was alive now.

But, even though I was, it didn’t stop the nightmares from coming.

 

Two days ago, I opened my eyes. Two days ago, I breathed life into my lungs once more. Now that I was awake though, it forced me to face everything that happened, and the one thing that upset me the most was Ivy… my beautiful mate was unconscious.

From the looks of it, she didn’t seem like she would wake up soon.

I felt bad that she was injured, but my brothers repeatedly reassured me that she knew what she was doing. That she wasn’t dead, so that we simply had to give her time to wake back up.

I couldn’t help but worry, though. What if she didn’t wake up?

What if we lost her again because of me… because she saved me?

Slowly, they had filled me in with all the details of things I had

missed. Chaos that had happened. Things that happened to Ivy, and even the day she gave birth to our children. They helped me pick up all the missing pieces, so nothing was left out.

I was still broken, though.

To know I had missed out on the birth of my children killed me.

I would use this second chance at life to fix things that had happened to me previously. I would learn to forgive and forget and to love with unconditional devotion!

Because that was what a person with a second chance did.

Standing in the nursery, looking down at Pollux and Castor sleeping, I couldn’t help but wonder what a future would have been like had I not been part of it. What they would have gone through had I not been here.

I knew they would have been taken care of and had my brothers, but still, I couldn’t help but wonder what they would have missed out on without me here.
