And Then There Were Four novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Bella Donna

Damian POV

Hearing Talon was probably too far gone was not the news I wanted brought to me. I had sent a group of men to the northern woods of Canada to find him, and out of the eight I had sent, only two came back.

Talon had torn them apart, and according to Ralph-he enjoyed it.

He enjoyed it so much, according to Ralph, he feasted upon the fallen bodies as if he was dining at the table of the gods. A sight! was glad I didn’t have to witness for myself.

No matter what Ralph said— my brother wasn’t a monster.

*Damian, we have a problem, Angel stated as he quickly entered my office.

“What kind of problem?”

‘The kind where Ivy knows about Talon,” he replied with emphasis on her name, stressing the importance of the situation.

*How the fuck does she know anything? I snapped, seething with anger as my hand slammed down upon my desk “I made sure everyone knew not to say anything to or around her. I can’t have her upset if things don’t turn out right.”

“I know,” Angel replied looking at me with regret, “unfortunately, it was leaked to her and there is nothing that can be done with it now.

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I exhaled deeply, trying to wrap my head around the shit show that was about to happen. I had promised her no more secrets, and here I was lying to her again. “How did you find out?”

“Kate mind linked me and told me they ran into Allison on campus. Allison told Ivy some things, and Kate couldn’t lie to her. She hasn’t told Ivy everything, but they should be here any moment, and from the sounds of it, Ivy is on a warpath.”

Of course she was. My little vixen was a force to be reckoned with, and everything about her made me proud. I just wished more than anything I could be the man she was expecting me to be.

Until we figure out Talon, though I wasn’t able to.

Instead, I would have to rely on James and Hale to soothe her. When this was all over, I would make sure to make it up to her. I would get her away from this place properly, and give her the relaxation that she needed.

Show her how mates should be treated. It’s what she deserved.

Thinking over Angel’s words, I tried to understand why Allison was there. For her to be on campus means she was solely seeking Ivy out. Which meant she had inside information on Ivy, and her whereabouts at all times.

That thought alone was uncomfortable. *Angel, when Ivy gets here, can I count on you to round up border patrol leaders and tell them to sweep the area and double down on security. I have a feeling we are being watched.”

“Of course, Alpha,” he replied bowing his head slightly. “I will see to the task myself.”

The sound of gravel beneath tires caught my attention just in time to see Ivy slamming her car door, storming towards the house with a stern gaze in her eyes.

*Shit, she’s here, I muttered just as James and Hale walked into my office.

“Why is Ivy pissed?” Hale asked as the sound of someone clearing their voice caught all of our attention.

She stood there with her hands on her hips, tapping her foot with a fuck you look in her eyes. She was beyond upset with us, and 1 suppose she had every right to be.

“Ivy is pissed because the three of you failed to inform me about Talon. Instead, your bitch of a godmother Allison so delightfully informed me of your failure to explain Talon’s dire situation. So which one of you assholes is going to start explaining first?”

Opening and closing my mouth, I tried to figure out where to start. There wasn’t much I could say to make things right lvy”

Lv.1

Holding her figure up, she closed her eyes as she laughed,” don’t even try to deny or push the topic off me. I want you to tell me right now what is going on, Damian. I have a right to know.”

“You do have a right to know.” Hale interjected as he looked towards me, shaking his head, “we shouldn’t keep this from her anymore.”

Hale was right. We should be keeping this from her anymore, and I was a fool to think I could.

She was the Luna to this pack, and in the end, even the Alpha bows to his mate.

Ivy POV

I hadn’t expected Hale to be the one to speak up first. In fact, I had expected it to be James, but for some reason, he seemed so unsure as he passed glances with Damian.

Giving a reluctant sigh, Damian shook his head and took a seat behind his desk. “Okay.”

“Okay?” I asked with shock as I raised my brow. “Does that mean you will tell me everything?”

Gritting his teeth, Damian stared at me, unimpressed by my attitude. Not that I gave a shit.

He was the one heading this operation, and he was supposed to be over this kind of thing with me. We had promised each other no more secrets. To be open and honest.

Yet, here we were once again.

“Yes, I will tell you what I know,” he sighed. “May I begin?”

Nodding, I walked towards the sofa and sat down. My legs were shaking from the adrenaline running through my body and if I wasn’t careful, it was going to take me to the ground.

“We did find Talon.” Damian finally admitted causing my heart to swell with anticipated hope of Talon finally coming home,”but from what we know, he has lost his way. He has taken on his more animalistic side, and with that, he isn’t responding to any of us. Even Hale can’t get through to him, and they are twins.”

“How is that possible?” I asked, looking at Hale, “you guys have always been so close and connected. Surely he has to be reachable.”

Letting out a heavy breath Hale’s shoulders sagged, “we think he has been drugged, Ivy.”

“Drugged?” Taking a moment to let what Hale said sink in, I furrowed my brows and tried to understand how a werewolf… or shifter, as they called it was so easily affected by drugs when they heal so fast.

“Yes, drugged,” Damian replied, “and he has killed many people in the process of trying to recover him because of this situation.”
