And Then There Were Four by Lilith Carrie

It was brilliant to think, in a place like this, they had created something with such beauty. Who knew with everything these people had, they could create something so much closer to nature than the world I was used to growing up in.

The moment we turned down another hallway, I quickly realized this must have been the residential area. Doors of various designs lined the walls for what seemed miles and upon every door was a name.

The first door we came to was Lucas' room, his name engraved with silver upon the wooden door. I didn't realize that this place would be so name specific, and as Freya opened the door, we were met with black and red decor, that reminded me of a sex den I had once seen on a porn movie. "Uh-nice decor," I chuckled, watching as Lucas rolled his eyes.

"Yes, all of these rooms were decorated based on your personalities and the way you lived in the human realm." Her words caught me off guard, and instantly I worried about what mine would look like.

"Come on, Cassie." Lucas looked to Cassie expectedly, and as he did, Cassie crossed her arms over her chest and raised a brow in his direction.

"Uh-no."

"No?" He furrowed his brows. "What do you mean, no? I'm your mate."

A small snicker came from Freya as she clasped her hands in front of her and smiled. I wasn't sure what she found funny, but maybe it was the same thing I found funny. My sister was out right refusing to go stay in Lucas' room.

"Lucas, Cassie may be your mate, but that doesn't mean she has to stay with you. She has her own room, and you have no claim over her, I'm afraid." Freya's comment didn't seem to sit well with him and walking into his room, he quickly slammed the door. "I guess he didn't like that," I muttered as Freya held her tongue and quickly turned, continuing down the hallway.

"Your room is right here, Pollux." As she went to grab the handle, I quickly beat her to it and smiled.

"I got it. Thanks again for this. I'll see you guys at dinner."

The last thing I wanted was for my sister to see the things I was into. I wasn't sure if that was the shit in the room, but there was no way I was going to risk being mocked by her if my room looked anything like Lucas' room.

With a shrug of her shoulders, I

watched Freya and Cassie disappear further down the hallway and as they did, a sigh of relief escaped me before I took a deep breath. With a fleeting glance at my name engraved across the door, I turned the handle and stepped into my room.

I wasn't sure what I had expected, but blue walls and modern style decor definitely wasn't it. I felt like I was staring at a more mature version of my bedroom back home, and with it, I found myself slightly annoyed. Lucas had gotten a sex room, or at least that's what the glimpse reminded me of.

Instead, I was faced with blues, whites, and silver. A ship's captain style room with a large golden anchor on the far wall. I was a wolf, not a sea captain, and even though the room was really nice, I felt slightly let down.

Part of me was hoping for something dark and dangerous, but I wasn't going to complain. Instead, I would pay less attention to the minor details of my stay and look forward to what was to come.

Taking the time to walk around and admire everything, my eyes took in everything from the large king-size bed with a dark navy blue comforter. To the small sofa and a desk near a large floor to ceiling bookcase. It was the typical shit you would see in a room, but on a larger scale.

"Guess this is as good as it gets," I muttered to myself as I jumped onto the bed and closed my eyes. This was the start of something better for us all, and if I had to be here for the next year, I was just gonna have to make the most of it.
