And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Fuck, they caught me.

"OK, now that we got that out of the air, we definitely know that it has to do with Ivy. But what I don't understand is why. You were perfectly fine with her yesterday, and now all of the sudden, you're acting as if you've seen a ghost. So you can either tell us what's been going on, or we can go ask her." Hale had a point. I couldn't keep it from them forever. I had to tell him what she did, not that I didn't enjoy it. I did enjoy it. I enjoyed it very much.

But she pulled the Lycan from me, awoke it, or whatever she did.

Glancing around, I stepped forward, looking down the hall, and then looked back to my brothers before gesturing to them with my hand to follow me out back. The last thing I wanted was for Ivy to hear the conversation I was about to have with them.

Opening the door, I stepped out into the cool air, and looked over my shoulder at them, waiting. They looked at each other and back at me, letting out a scoff that was almost the sound of laughter as they stepped outside.

But even being out here just on the other side of the door wasn't good enough. So instead, I started walking toward the guest house. Towards the woods that laid on the other side of it.

I had to get far enough away from the house so Ivy would not hear me tell them what I was about to, or anyone else for that matter. The last thing I needed was somebody else laughing at me.

"Dude, where the fuck are you taking us? We don't have time for this shit today," Talon said as he rolled his eyes, following behind me.

"Will you just shut the fuck up and follow me? Jesus," I whispered harshly as I glared at him.

By the time we made it to the tree line, I looked around at the house, making sure she wasn't looking at any of the windows or anything like that, and when the coast felt clear enough, I finally let out the breath I had been holding. "Well..." Hale said with irritation. "Speak, now that you have us all the way out here."

Glaring at him, I hesitated a moment before rolling my eyes. "Okay, so... last night I was sleeping. We all went to bed, remember?" I said, starting off the conversation.

"Yeah. You were one of the first people that went to bed and said you were tired and had a headache," Hale replied, giving me a scrutinizing gaze.

"Okay, well, I know that's true. I hadn't been feeling well all day yesterday. But that's beside the point, because I woke up in the middle of the night to Ivy standing in my bedroom naked... and not just that, she was calling my name like some weird... ritual or something. Then she straddled me! We, you know...."

Gesturing with my hands, I tried to get them to understand what I meant without actually saying it. The two of them smirked at me again, crossing their arms with laughter.

"No, we don't know. Can you be specific about what you did?" Talon asked, causing me to groan with frustration.

"We fucked okay?" I snapped at him, running my hand over the front of my face before it reached up to rub the back of my neck as I thought about what had happened. "Okay, so why are you acting like that's a bad thing? You've had sex with her many times."

Hale's statement was true, but none of those times were quite exactly like they were last night. "Trust me, I know. The problem being though, is that she was like different and not just regular different like she was really different. Eyes black, wing whipping... you know that kind of difference. To top it all off.... she did something..."

"She did something?" Talon said with annoyance. "Well, you just fucking tell us exactly what it is she did and stop beating around the bush... I have shit to do today."

"Fuck my life," I sighed. I just had to say it. It was going to be like ripping off a Band-Aid. I just had to take a deep breath and do it. "I think she awakened my Lycan."

Both of my brothers stood there stunned in silence with dead panned expressions on their faces as their arms that were once crossed over their chest fell loosely at their sides. "Dude, did you hear me? I think she awakened-"

"I fucking heard you," Hale said, cutting me off and mid-sentence. "What exactly... in detail... not the sex detail, but that situation detail..." he sighed. "What exactly happened?"
