And Then There Were Four novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91: Playing with Fire

Talon.

I had always been unsure about Ivy being pregnant, but the moment Hale told us that Ivy was having twins through the link, I couldn’t be happier. It was a moment I had known was coming, but now that it was here, I was more than nervous.

Was going to be a good dad? Would they end up liking me? “It’s good news, brother,” Damian said, slapping me on the shoulder with a smile. “Yeah, it is,” I replied hesitantly. “Damian, can I ask you something?”

“What’s that?” He said as he moved around the nursery, checking everything the contractors were doing.

“Do you remember that old story that mother used to tell us about the great Bjorn?”

Damian stopped in his tracks, looking over his shoulder at me with a smile. “Yeah, what about it? Have old fairy tales been crossing your mind lately?”

“Shut up,” I groaned, rolling my eyes. “I’m being serious.” “So was I. I thought James was the sentimental one, and Hale was the nerdy one.”

Damian’s laughter and comment caught me off guard, but as I narrowed my gaze, he knew I was being serious. I didn’t bring things up unless it was important, and right now, I needed him to focus.

“What about it, Talon?” he finally sighed as he returned to what he was doing.

“What if the story was more than a story? What if it was real history?” I asked, trying to remember the details of the story and how our mother used to tell it.

“Don’t be ridiculous, Talon. It’s a kids’ story. Now focus, we have to get some of this s**t done,” he replied, completely brushing off what I was telling him.

Go figure, after all, Damian was a logical man, and if there wasn’t proof to back something up, he didn’t pay it attention. I wouldn’t consider that entirely good for an Alpha to think that way, but he had his brothers to help him.

We were stronger because of our unique unity. “Fair enough. I’ll go down and see if the b***h has left yet.”

Nodding his head at me, he kept himself preoccupied as I made my way down the stairs only to come face to face with James, Hale, and Ivy walking through the front door.

Quickly, I rushed her and swept her off her feet, twirling her around in my arms while she laughed. “A boy and a girl.”

“Yes, yes,” she laughed. “Put me down, Talon, or you’re going to make me sick.”

“Sorry,” I said as I placed her on her feet and pulled her in, crashing my lips against hers. “I can’t help it. Seeing you pregnant is so damn tempting.”

“Yeah, well, that will have to wait, brother,” Hale cut in, causing me to look at him.

“Why? Are you still on that kick? I know what you said before, but come on now. Isn’t it supposed to help with easing labor or something like that?”

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Hale groaned. “Yes, but she isn’t in labor. However, she could have the baby within the next four to six weeks.”

“Oh,” I knew we had just talked about this, but having the doctor confirm it made it all that much more real. “Well, hopefully, one of our problems will be gone soon.”

“She is still here?” Ivy snapped. “Why?”

“She said that she had to pack and then argued with Damian, who told her fine but to hurry and leave.”

The look that passed through Ivy’s eyes was one of displeasure. She wanted the woman gone now, and she wasn’t going to be told that she had to wait. Pushing past us all, she stormed her way towards the back door. And that only meant one thing.

Ivy was going to go into turbo mode on this woman.

“Ivy… Ivy, no,” James said, putting himself quickly in between her and the door. “I will go tell her for you. You remember what the doctor said. No stress.”

“Move, James,” she snarled at him as her eyes changed. “No. Now, as your mate, I demand you go upstairs and take a nap now.”

Never once in my life had I heard James use an almost decent Alpha tone, and the fact he just used it on Ivy was shocking. Hale and I glanced at each other before looking back at them.

Ivy stood with her fists clenched, and her brows narrowed, but slowly she relaxed and rolled her eyes. “You’ll make sure she is gone by the time I wake up?”

“Yes,” he squeaked before quickly clearing his throat. “Yes, I will make sure.”

With a sly grin, she leaned forward, kissing him, and then smiled at Hale and me before she made her way towards the stairs, hoping to take a nap.

“What the f**k was that?” Hale said as we glanced from where Ivy was back to James.

He looked absolutely pale as can be, but swallowing deeply, he straightened himself and ran his hand through his hair. “We pretend I didn’t just about s**t myself and that you watched me manly standpoint to her before going to handle a problem.”

“I don’t think I have ever seen him like that.”

A few hours later, Ivy was refreshed and wide away with a hungry look in her eye. As she made her way into the kitchen, I looked up from the laptop I was working on and watched her search the fridge for something.

“Were you looking for something?” I asked her as she slammed the fridge door, and turned to me with a pout on her lips that I found incredibly sexy.

“I’m hungry, and nothing in there looks good.” “What kind of hungry?” I asked her hesitantly. “Like you want a snack, or you’re hungry-hungry?” With a look of disgust, she rolled her eyes dramatically. “Why do you have to say it like that?”

“Oh, I can see that,” I replied with soft laughter. “Let’s see what I can find for you.”

“Who the f**k do you think you are?” Kate yelled at the woman. “Don’t you dare f*****g speak to him like that? If he told you to go, you need to pack your s**t and get one. It shouldn’t take this long for you to grasp the understanding of your assignment.”
