And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 121: Celebrating Family

My time in the office with Hale and Talon had been exactly as Thad remembered it being. Absolutely intoxicating. The only difference was their Lycans could no longer play, and honestly, I preferred it.

I preferred knowing the aggression they had for me was their own, and not the influence of a beast inside them. They were my mates, and it was them I fell in love with.

Not the Lycans that once possessed them.

Making my way downstairs, freshly showered and ready for

the night, I was stunned when I walked down the stairs only to find Kate, Angel, their new baby my mother, and my mother’s mate all standing in the foyer waiting for me.

“Oh my God, what did you guys get here?” I squealed with excitement as I cleared the last few steps and ran over to them, giving them all hugs.

“We’ve been here for about the last hour or so. They said you were upstairs taking a shower, so we settled into our rooms,” Kate replied as she turned around and showed me the car seat with the newborn baby fast asleep.

“Oh, my goodness. She’s so beautiful,” I cooed as she set the car seat down and picked the baby out of it, handing her over to me. “What’s her name?”

“Her name is Dalia.” The name was just as beautiful as the

child who slept peacefully in my arms. This was the size I had

remembered my twins being before everything that had happened, and holding her now almost brought tears to my eyes as I thought about it.

Pushing those emotions back, though, I handed her back to Kate as I turned to my mother and the mysterious Dr. Blake. “I’ m glad to see that you’re back, mom. And you, thank you so much for taking care of her.”

“It was a pleasure,” he chuckled as he pulled my mother close. “I would take care of her a hundred times over if I could.”

“Oh, you…” she cooed at him as she kissed his cheek. “He is so sweet, isn’t he?”

“Yes, he is,” I replied with a smile.

Seeing her happy like this was strange because I had never seen her happy with any man. Even my father. I didn’t remember those memories, and seeing my mother taken care of and loved more than anything, warmed my heart.

“With everything going back to normal, I hope that you guys will come more often. I even spoke with Damian about possibly building more accommodations.”

“You mean to this house?” Kate asked as she looked around.

“Actually, I have spoken with the guys, and we are going to be constructing a new manor, a new pack house. This one will actually hold the younger generations, those who are mateless and just starting out. Freshly graduated, almost like

a dormitory where they will be able to reside until they are ready to move out on their own.”

The idea lit smiles across their faces, and I was pleased they liked it. It was something I had taken on passionately, and even though it was just a fresh idea, I knew in time, it would be very beneficial.
