And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 147: Denying the Bond 

Cassie. 

Trixie’s outburst caught both mine and Sansa’s attention. She jumped to her feet, huffing and puffing, and I could have sworn her eyes turned brighter than usual. It was as if a flip switched in her, and she was slowly spiraling from it. The guilt that filled me over her looking upset, tore at my heart. I had never meant to hurt her, and biting my bottom lip, the confidence I usually felt slowly dissipated. 

“Trixie, I’m so sorry. Please don’t be upset.” 

“Upset?!” She scoffed with laughter. “I’m not upset because I’m his mate.” 

“What? Then what’s wrong?” Confused beyond belief, I ‘tried to understand what was going on. Why was she acting like this if she wasn’t upset by the news? 

Shaking her head, she paced around the little seating area we were in with her hands on her hips. “I never wanted a mate, Cassie. As surprising as that may seem, in my world, when you take your mate, it means you start popping out babies, and just because my older sister wants to do that doesn’t mean I want to.” 

Trixie’s confession was slightly unexpected. She was  usually so sweet and bubbly, and right now, she was acting completely different. “Trix-” 

“No, Cassie,” she sighed, snapping her gaze at me. “Let me  finish.” 

I gestured with my hand for her to continue. After all, who was I to honestly stop her? It was obvious the girl was on a mission, and as she ranted about how people always treated her like she was stupid and how her mother wanted her to settle down, I couldn’t help but think of how similar we actually were. 

“If your brother thinks for one minute he can disregard me, regardless of me not wanting to mate anything, well, he has another thing coming.” 

“Whoa–what?” I gasped, coming back to reality at her  words. 

What the hell was she talking about? 

“You heard me, Cassie,” she replied with a triumphant smirk on her face. “I’m going to take a chapter out of your book.” 

Sansa kicked my shin, causing me to gasp as I sent a daggered glare in her direction. “What the hell was that for?!” 

“Look what you did!” she groaned, gesturing to Trixie, who pulled out her phone and seemed to look at herself in her reflection. “She has lost it!”
