And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 152: Waking Lucas

Shocked by everything going on, I didn’t know what to say when Trixie froze Lucas in place and referred to him as a darkling. Moreover, I didn’t know what to think about Pollux coming to my rescue. It was evident something was wrong with Lucas by the way he was acting, but never did I consider myself to be weak in a moment where I shouldn’t have been.

With his hand on my back, Pollux ushered me into Lucas‘ room as Trixie used her powers to glide him backward and then lower him onto his bed. She seemed almost entranced with her movements as her powers radiated through the space, catching me by surprise. Of course, she had powers, but this… this was something else entirely.

“How did you do that?” The question left my lips before I could actually contemplate what I said and as she touched her hand to Lucas‘ forehead, his eyes closed before hers. turned to me.

“It’s part of my powers, and he is asleep. Not sure how long as I have never tried to use that on someone but we can hope for the best.” She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear as she glanced at my brother and quickly looked back at me.

They were mates, and the flirting gesture made me smirk before realizing I had to figure out what was happening. “What’s a darkling?”

Trixie and my brother both looked at each other before looking at me. My brother knew, and that was honestly unex- pected. Usually, he didn’t know anything like that, and I was the one filling him in. Opening and closing his mouth, he glanced at Trixie, urging her with his head to say something, to which she rolled her eyes and groaned. “You’re no help, are you?”

“Oh, just fucking tell her,” he snapped, rolling his own eyes. Both of them acted as if they were closer now than they had been before which was weird considering it wasn’t that long ago he was being a dick.

“It means that he is the child of a God who plays within. the shadows. There are a few, but it’s rare to find the children as they are often killed.”

As if her words held magic, Freya walked into the room with a smile on her face. Her long hair was braided in sections. and adorned with small flowers. She glanced at Lucas with a raised brow and turned towards me. “I’m glad you all finally figured it out. Too bad he wasn’t aware.”

My mind was blown by the fact everyone knew and I had- n’t, nor had Lucas… at least we were assuming he hadn’t. “How do we fix him?”

Freya furrowed her brows and sighed, “I can’t tell you that I’m afraid but I can say you have friends who can help.”

“Why are you here then if you’re not doing anything?” Pollux snapped, saying exactly what I was thinking.

Freya shrugged her shoulders with a smile and as she turned towards the door and then looked over her shoulder, I knew for sure she had come for a reason. “Odin wants to see you, Cassie… you weren’t in your room so I figured you might be here with your… whatever you want to call him.”

She didn’t bother to wait for a reply before she was out the door, leaving me there wondering what the hell was going on. Turning to Pollux and Trixie, I stood dumbfounded. “What the hell am I supposed to do… I can’t leave right now.”

Pollux sneered, rolling his eyes as
