And Then There Were Four novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Heated Connections

Hale POV

Seeing her walk into the club was like a dream.

Too many times in my sleep had I seen her walking back to me, and as much as my heart wanted it to be true, I knew it wasn’t possible. She had been torn away from me, and I lived with that pain every day. I just was shocked it hadn’t killed me.

“You have to give it a chance, Hale,” James said softly, as I stared at the front door. Damian had walked through it in a huff, and I was left confused, showing no emotion.

“I don’t think that’s possible,” I said beneath my breath as I watched James from the corner of my eye shake his head and go towards his room.

My thoughts swirling over the night’s events, and memories of Ivy flooding over me.

I could almost taste her on my tongue the first time I ever kissed her. Her pouty pink lips waiting for me in the next room to take once more. Yet, I doubt taking the forefront of any desire I had lingering for her.

With a heavy breath, I laid back on the sofa and closed my eyes. My mind, begging for release.

By the time my eyes opened again, darkness had surrounded us completely. I wasn’t sure what time it was, but listening carefully, I could tell Damian had come back at some point and he and the others were sound asleep.

Moving to my feet, I walked down the hall towards the bathroom, but as soon as I got to her door, I couldn’t help but hesitate. My curiosity begged me to open her door and see her again.

Taking a deep breath, I exhaled and did just that. I pushed the door open and quietly stepped into her darkened room. The smell of her perfume wrapping around me as I pushed forward.

My eyes settled on her petite sleeping form, stirring my wolf.

Slowly, I stepped forward and watched her. How was it that this woman could affect me as much as she did? It was something! would never understand.

She was my biggest weakness, and yet at the same time, my greatest asset.

Ivy POV

Running. I always seemed to be running, and as I was I could see him. The beautiful wolf I had grown to admire no matter how much he was thought to be dangerous.

“Talon!” I called out, watching as the wolf looked at me with a pained expression and then fought off something that seemed to be trapping him. I didn’t understand what was happening, but as I ran through the snow covered forest I called out to him again. “Talon, please wait!”

It was of no use though. The more I ran and the harder I tried the slower I became.

A heavy weight seemed to fall over me that didn’t make any sense, and with it I felt helpless to the situation. But the sensation was being watched chilled me to my bones.

Letting my eyes scan the forest I waited for whatever it was to attack. The only problem was I felt myself being pulled, and as I was I realized something-it was only another dream.

The same dream I had been having for the past few nights, only this time it felt more real.

Something was pulling me back to reality, and I felt him before I opened my eyes

The smell of his cologne woke me from my slumber as I slowly opened my eyes to see him standing next to my bed, looking down

at me.

“Hale?” I whispered, causing him to startle and step backwards. Don’t go.”

“Why, Ivy?” he asked with more vulnerability in his voice than I had expected.
