And Then There Were Four by Lilith Carrie
Chapter 0291

Disbelief washed over me upon hearing her. Never once had I ever heard her speak up for what I want and yet, here she was basically telling my fathers what was going to happen whether they approved or not.

"Ivy, you know damn well that can't happen," Hale snapped at her, causing me to flinch as he stood to his feet. "There was an agreement, and both she and Pollux have to abide by it."

My mother was angry, and her words were firm. The only problem was I wasn't sure if I was hearing things correctly. The tale is true, and my parents really did agree for us to go? I thought it was a joke or something... Hell; I don't know what I thought, but to know my parents agreed was horrible.

"I don't care, Hale. I'm not forcing them to go."

"Wait, you're telling me that you made a deal for me and Pollux to be sent away? Why would you do that? Don't we get a say in this?!"

Shaking his head, Hale sighed. "No, sweetie, you don't. There was nothing we could do about it, and honestly, they wanted to take you a long time ago, so we made it so they didn't."

This was absolute bullshit. The entire time, I thought it was a hoax. Something my parents told me so I would behave, and it was actually true. "That's fucking great."

"Cassie, language!" My mother snapped, glaring at me. "You don't need to talk like that, and you're both not going, so it doesn't matter what happened."

"Ivy, stop lying to her!" Talon roared in anger. "They are, and after today's little stunt she pulled with her powers, she isn't returning back to school. We have to be careful-" "What?!" I exclaimed, jumping to my feet. "What do you mean I'm not going back to school?! I have only a few days left!"

All three of my parents looked

between each other before glancing back at me, I didn't understand what was going on, but I didn't have a chance to say anything before Damian walked through the door and stared at me.

"You're so loud we can hear you downstairs."

"Dad, you are the one who always says schooling is important. You can't let them do this." I pleaded Damian to agree with me, but

instead he sighed, crossing bine

arms

over his chest and shook his head.

"No, Castor. You're not going back. You will be allowed to see your friends on pack grounds if they come here to the house and to the party. However, you will not be returning back to campus. It's too much of a risk after your stunt with your brother today and therefore, James has worked out with your teachers to take the exams under his supervision here."

My life was literally falling apart in front of me. The last few days of my senior year was squashed all because of Pollux and his stupid ass girlfriend.

"Whatever. At least Pollux will feel the same way I do." I had hoped for them to agree with me, but instead the looks passing them let me know what I dreaded hearing.

It was only me receiving this punishment.

"Seriously?" I gasped, clenching my fists at my sides. "So Pollux causes all the crap that went on today, and I'm the one who gets punished. Nice to see who the favorite is in the family."

Storming past Damian and my mother, I marched towards my room and slammed the door behind me. I woke up this morning believing today was going to be an amazing day. Of course, I was fucking wrong.

If Pollux thought for one moment, I was going to let this go. He was sadly mistaken.

I wasn't going to be grounded in this house alone, and I sure as hell wasn't going to some realm. They could all kiss my ass before that happened.
