And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Reunion of Tears
I had dreamed of this day. The day I would end up returning home, and the moment I stepped through the door, the chaos that was my siblings came rushing towards me. They hugged both me and Pollux and even welcomed Trixie with open arms. My mother had grayed over the last two years and was paler than I had remembered her being.
I wasn’t sure what had happened while I was gone, but it was clear that whatever had happened, had taken a toll on all of our parents. I was shocked to see how grown my siblings had become. No longer were my little brothers, Zach, Dillon, and Tatum the little boys I had left. Zach was now 16, Dylan was fourteen, and little Tatum, no longer looking sick, was now 11.
The moment my eyes locked with my little brother Tatum, they began to fill with tears.
“You look so much better,” I whispered as I quickly wrapped my arms around him and gave him a hug.
He chuckled softly as he pulled away from me and shrugged In’s shoulders. It’s weird. One day, I just woke up and it was gone.”
Glancing over at my brother and Trixie, they gave me a knowing look, knowing full well what had happened and how my brother had gotten better. However, I quickly shook my head, telling them not to say anything because it wasn’t something I wanted my parents or my family to know.

What I had done for my little brother was out of the goodness of my heart, and perhaps one day, I would tell him. But for now, I didn’t want it to be known.
“Are you guys hungry? Shall I cook some food?” James said as he came from the kitchen, wiping his hands on a towel. “l could grill some steaks on the stove just like you guys used to like.”
“It’s okay, Dad,” Pollux chuckled, not wanting our father to go out of his way. “We ate before we came, but I do look forward to having one of your famous breakfast in the morning.’
At first, James looked slightly disappointed, but with my brother proclaiming he wanted his famous breakfasts, he easily became happy and pointed at my brother before turning and running into the kitchen.
Knowing him, he was going to be going in there to defrost the meat for the morning because these breakfasts happened to contain a lot of meat.

For a few hours, we talked through old memories, laughing, sitting with each other in the living room, talking about everything that had happened. And eventually, my siblings were told that they had to go to bed and they could continue to spend time with us tomorrow.
Even hough I would be away for a good part of the day, and then I’d disappear come nighttime.
“Cassie, are you okay?” Mom asked, pulling me from my thoughts. My eyes cast toward her to take in the aged expression upon her face that showed all the trouble she had been through over the years.

the emotions that threatened to fall down my face, I knew I had to do this. “There were some issues in Asgard, some things happened, and because of it, I had to change…” I replied, trailing off as I tried to find the words to express what had happened. “You are not a Lycan anymore, are you?” Talon said, catching both Hale’s and Damian’s attention. They furrowed their brows in confusion as they glanced back at me, and my mother quickly gripped James’s hand as she held her breath for what I was about to tell her. “No, I’m not,” I replied softly. “There was a battle in Asgard,.and I got hurt. When the battle was going on, Pollux and Trixie, as well as a few others, were in danger. In order to protect them, I sacrificed myself and touched a part of my power I had

He was my mate, and at the end of the day, I would do what I needed to do to protect him. I didn’t regret my choice to save them all, I sometimes wish that things could have gone differently. ‘This can’t

Don’t blame him. It wasn’t his fault that this happened. Just like it wasn’t any of your faults what happened with Loki… I don’t hold any grudges, and I don’t regret what I did. My brother and my friends are safe, and that’s all that matters.’
Shaking her head, my mother refused to listen to what I was saying, and as she stood to her feet, I knew that it was going to be an emotional mess by the time we got done with this conversation.
“So what? You’re different now. What does that mean for your life here—”
She seemed to realize what exactly it meant as I opened and closed my mouth, frowning in sadness as I tried to find a way to tell her that I wasn’t staying. “Mom, it’s not that easy.’
“You’re not staying, are you?” Hale asked as he stepped around from where he had been silently listening and made his way toward me. Hale was the diplomatic one. Once, he just Fipnply wanted to be amongst his books, go to school, better-

But one day, when you go to Asgard yourself, we’ll be reunited again.’ “No!” my mother shouted as she jumped to her feet, “l refuse to lose you again. You are not leaving me. I will not have my children leave me. You didn’t die. You’re right here in front of me.” No longer able to hold back the tears that had filled my eyes, they fell down my cheeks in silence. I couldn’t do this, and as Trixie slid over in the seat next to me, wrapping her arms around me, and she laid
