And Then There Were Four by Lilith Carrie
Chapter 252

Damien.

The moment I saw Kara, I had an inkling suspicion she wasn't here for pleasure. However, despite my uncertainties, I tried to remain positive. Perhaps she was simply down here from the realm to check in on Ivy, considering as far as I was told, she is Odin's daughter. How that is even possible, I still can't comprehend, but then again, with as many crazy things that currently go down regularly, I try not to comprehend much. Trying to understand how this all worked did nothing but give me migraines.

So the moment she walked in, and informed us we would not be happy about the news she had to share, my mind almost snapped.

Were we not able to have one moment where we weren't stressed out or trying not to die?

"I don't understand," Hale replied, staring at Kara with confusion. "What could you possibly have to tell us that would make us unhappy?"

"A lot actually," she hummed.

"Will you just tell us what the fuck you want?" Talon snapped.

"Calm yourself. I'm far older than you are. You stand no chance against me."

"What are you talking about?" James asked, looking completely confused. I felt the same as he did. How was just going to come in here, and act like this and not tell us what it is she wanted?

"Why don't we go into the living room and sit down and take a seat? Because what I have to tell you will not go over well." Kara finally sighed, gesturing towards the living room.

Why is it anytime anybody came to give you bad news, they typically started the conversation off like that?

I didn't understand these people, and though I have been a dick most of my life, I still tried my hardest to be more forthcoming when I was giving information.

Unlike people, obviously like Kara, who beat around the bush and then drop everything at all at once. Always riddles with these people.

As the five of us moved into the living room, taking our seats, Kara stood in the doorway. Her wings folded back behind her, with a concerned gaze within her eyes as she stared at the four of us. "Are you going to leave us in suspense, or are you going to get on with it?" I asked her, watching as her eyes finally landed on me.

"It's about your children."

"What about my children?" I replied, feeling the bond between my brothers and I perk with attention. We would protect our children with our lives.

So when someone came talking about our pups, we were ready to go to battle no matter the situation. We would protect them with our lives.

"Well, right to the point, of course,"

she sighed. "The day your children were born, a new prophecy was born, and with it a future that only they can paint. It has made the gods consider the terms of the

agreements we once had about keeping the portal closed

"You can't be serious," Talon laughed. "The portal is to remain sealed so nothing can pass. Ivy made sure of that, before giving her immortality, along with ours, to bring Damian back." I couldn't help but notice how Talon

talked about what they did for me.

He hadn't been himself since that day, and was fairly sure it had something to do with his Lycan being taken away from him.

Something he never wanted to talk

about.

"We understand the situation

between the five of you, but om unfortunately that doesn't matter," Kara replied. "Things have changed."

"Changed?!" Talon growled, standing to his feet. "She has been out since the day it happened six months ago, Kara!"

Her eyes narrowed at Talon, and as

they did, I watched Hale stand and walk towards his brother, who all but relaxed at what he said it only took a at what moment, and Talon stormed from

the

the room, disappearing from sight.

The sound of the back door The

slamming shut echoed through the house, to which Kara rolled her eyes.

"You mortals are all so temperamental."
