And Then There Were Four novel Chapter 232

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."
