And Then There Were Four novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Insatiable Hunger

Hale POV

It’s been two days since Ivy woke up, and every moment she was awake was a blessing. However, I couldn’t help but be concerned the changes in her were something to be worried about.

“I don’t understand why you’re worrying,” Talon replied for the third time today as we sat listening to Ivy shower in the next room with James. Her moans of pleasure echoed from behind closed doors as he took her again for the second time in two days.

“Do you hear that?” I said, looking at Talon with wide eyes as a carnal roar traveled down the hall. “She is no longer the sweet girl we once knew. She has become something else.”

Rolling his eyes, Talon continued stuffing his face. My brother’s appetite was larger than I remembered it being before. I knew I should just be happy we were finally all together, but things just didn’t add up.

“Sounds like they are going at it again,” Damian said as he entered the kitchen.

“Yeah, you could say that. She has literally taken us all on since she woke up, and yet, her appetite for sex doesn’t seem to be dying down.”

“You act like that’s a bad thing,” Talon mumbled through a mouth full of food. “Don’t fucking overthink this shit and ruin it. I waited too long to have her… We all have.”

I didn’t miss the glance Damian gave me as well. Both of them wanted me to let it go, but I couldn’t. Something was far more different from what we could see, and perhaps it was time I had a talk with her.

“We are leaving early,” Damian finally said, sighing as he lifted a glass of tea to his lips. “I’m not sure what’s going to happen tomorrow, but I’m really worried about what Allison is going to try and pull.”

“As am I,” I pointed out firmly. “Why do you think I’m so concerned about this new version of her? If she is transitioning, then we need to be prepared, because she hasn’t shifted yet… at least not completely. There is no telling what could happen if Allison pisses her off.”

“Hale, you should give me more credit than that.” A soft voice I knew all too well said from the doorway behind me.

Both Talon and Damian smirked at her comment, and slowly I turned to face her. She was still dripping wet from the shower, and James seemed almost exhausted behind her. “The fuck happened to you?” Talon laughed.

James side glanced looking at Ivy, and then his eyes widened as he shook his head, not saying anything. Through it all, though, she didn’t keep her eyes off me. Instead, she seemed to look at me with a carnal hunger I wasn’t expecting.

“Ivy… I hope you’re feeling refreshed,” I said, clearing my throat.

“I am… for now,” she smirked as she walked closer to me. “Perhaps you can make sure I’m satisfied again later.”

There it was again. The same hunger that should have been quenched from James and the others showed itself full force.

“Actually, before we talk about that, I wanted to see if we could clear a few things up.”

Sighing, her iridescent eyes twinkled as she nodded her head and made her way towards the fridge “Go ahead, Hale Ask your questions.”

“We don’t have to do this right now,” Damian interjected “You have to be tired”

Laughter escaped her as she pulled out a few containers from the fridge and turned, placing them on the counter. “No, actually I’m not. So let’s not be rude. If Hale wants to ask a few things, then why not?”

Watching her open the containers and stuffing food in her mouth should have been disgusting, but instead, it was a turn-on Everything she did was tantalizing, and I wanted right then to fuck her till she screamed my naine.

Clearing my throat again, I shook my head and tried to focus.

Chapter 77 Insatiable Hunger

“So, as we know, you’re changing into something else. Transitioning into-”

“Stop right there,” she said, cutting me off with a smile.

“Stop what?” I asked, with confusion.

Shaking her head, she shook her finger and smirked, “I’m not changing…”

“What?” Damian and I said at the same time.

“Of course you are,” James laughed. “You’re definitely not the same girl you were before. Now you’re a kinky sex deviant looking to devour my soul.” Talon and Ivy both burst into laughter at James’ admission. He seemed so defeated by what they had done upstairs, and being a wolf shifter we are stronger than usual, but still, he was worn out.

“You weren’t complaining in the shower,” she smirked.

“Well… yeah, but that was because your sinful love taco was sucking my soul out of my dick. Fucking addictive ass pussy,” he mumbled, laying his head on the counter.

“Perhaps that’s why she was given four mates,” Damian questioned silently.

“I sure as hell hope so,” James scoffed. “It’s bomb ass pussy, don’t get me wrong, Ivy. You’re a fucking goddess in every way, but fuck me… I’m not that good.”

I couldn’t help but notice how Ivy sat silent as she watched the guys carry on with amusement in her eyes as if she was expecting this. James was right about her being different, almost godly.

“What are you?” I finally asked, watching her gaze snap to mine.

“I thought you would never ask, Hale,” she said sweetly as she put her fork down and downed a bottle of water as if she was dying of thirst.

Waiting patiently, she let a sigh escape her lips, and slowly her smile fell. I wasn’t sure what had happened to her when she was out, but she seemed to think everything over slowly, contemplating what she was going to say before she spoke

“I’m not entirely sure what I am, and there is a lot I still have to learn. What I do know, though, is I’m not like any of you. Not exactly. You four are called the Ancients, whatever that means, but me… I’m Eternal.”

There was silence amongst us while we took in what she said. Talon and I looked at each other with confusion as we turned to look at Darian and James.

“She said the four of us, but only you and I have the gene, right?’ Talon asked me through the link.

“Yeah. Something is different with her. I know she is still Ivy, but what if the thing inside her is controlling her?’ I replied, only to have Ivy pull us from our thoughts with a huff.

“Or perhaps the two of you will stop talking about me in the link being rude, and voice your thoughts on how you think this “thing” inside me is controlling me.”

Shock filled me as I stared at her. “How did you —

“There are no more secrets, Hale. I guess my new form of self has gifts, too.”

Speechless, I didn’t know what else to say. Every question i had I wanted to ask her flew out the window at that moment She had abilities that shouldn’t be normal. She was becoming something more something different.

It terrified me in a way because of the elder council saw this, she would be a target
