And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 124

Chapter 124: BOOK THREE

Gemini Twins in the Land of the Gods

Ivy.

Fifteen years…

Fifteen years since the war, and every day, I tried to atone for the shit I had done prior. I could play innocent and act like I hadn’t done anything to cause it all, but I’d be fucking lying. Not only to those around me but also to myself.

The day Kara told me my children were to be sent to the land of the gods when they turned eighteen, I made a silent pact to prevent it. They were my children, and I was deter mined to make sure their lives were their own.

 

Even if I wanted to strangle them on more than one occa sion for their defiance, among other things. “Damn it, Pollux! Where are you?”

Storming through the house, I looked for the eldest of my six children and found, while gifted and the future of our pack, he never seemed to be where he was supposed to be.

“James, have you seen Pollux?” My words seemed to fall on deaf ears as James continued grading the papers before him. After all the hell we had gone through, he decided ten years ago to get into teaching, and he hadn’t looked back.

Which honestly was shocking, considering he taught

ninth-grade biology.

“James…” I repeated with a groan of frustration. “James!”

“Huh?” His eyes gazed up to meet mine with a clueless look. He had aged so much since I had first met him. Gray

hairs now streaked his head, and with it wrinkles crested the

corners of his eyes. “Sorry, sweetie. The end of the grading pe

riod is next week, and I have to get these done.”

“I know, I know,” I replied as I rolled my eyes and walked towards him. No matter how much he had changed physically,

he was still the sweet man I once knew. He always thought of

others before himself and took pride in his work..”I just haven’t

seen Pollux since he came home from school, and he

promised to take Dillon to practice.”

“Practice?” James glanced down at his watch and fur rowed his brows. “Babe, that started twenty minutes ago. Why didn’t you tell me I would have taken him?”

Smiling, I shook my head, “It’s okay. Talon was done with

his rounds and offered. He was excited to take him this week.

You know how much he hates missing out on stuff.”
