My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 34

Lily

Gemma was a dragon? She looked away as emotion after emotion moved rapidly through her. She had said that she didn’t want a dragon. How could they go against what she wanted? Did what she want not matter? Fury rose up in her. She was going to have some words for them the next time she saw them. Lukas took her hand.

“Baby, what are you thinking?”

“Nothing.”

He tucked her hair behind her ear. “Please, don’t lie to me. We can feel that you’re upset. I can see it on your face.”

She tilted her head. “What does it look like?”

He raised an eyebrow, before he touched her cheek right below her eyebrow.

“Your eyes got darker and I can see Gemma in them. Your eyebrow has this little tick in it and your smile went from genuine and nervous to just the comers firming up a little.”

She gawked at him. He saw all that? She had spent so many years perfecting her fake smile. Nobody else knew it wasn’t a real smile when she used it. She sat back on her heels to study him. He seemed like he was really worried. She ran her eyes slowly over his face. She climbed onto his lap to study his face closer.

She pulled her hand out of his to run her fingers gently over his face. He had never made her feel bad and the times she thought he had, weren’t really him. She sighed. She would have to really

think about this Gemma situation. Didn’t he deserve to have a strong female by his side? Without Gemma would she be able to give him that? Without Gemma would he even wa- He lifted her hand to his mouth to kiss her knuckles.

“Sweetheart, listen to me. Do you remember the day we met?”

She looked away, ashamed of the day they met. She had been broken and ugly. She had been so childish and small. She had been crying and-

“Lils, that day when I had you in my arms was the best and worst day of

my

Life.

She pu

pulled back as tears blinded her eyes. The worst day? She knew she had been in bad shape, but she wasn’t that bad, was she? He wiped the few tears that fell away.

“It was the best day, because I had finally found the one person that I was meant to be with.”

“And the worst?,” she nervously asked, almost too afraid to even put any volume behind her words.

He tilted her chin up to make her look into his eyes. “It was the worst day, because that same day I had to walk away from my person. I had to make a decision to either end your childhood and force you into a life you might not want or do my best to stay away from you so that you could decide when you were older if you wanted me, too,

She stared at him wide eyed. He wanted her to choose him? She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned against him. She couldn’t believe what he was saying to her. Had he really wanted

her then?

“How could I not choose you, Lukas? You’re perfect.”

His chest vibrated with his laughter. “Oh, I’m far from perfect, my queen. I burp and I fart.”

She pulled back with a shocked look on her face. “Oh, Goddess. Is it too late to change my mind? Maybe I need to find someone who doesn’t fart. You got any brothers?”

He laid back on the ground, pretending to think really hard. “Nope, just sisters and they are both taken,“

She laid down beside him with her head on his chest. “Did your sisters know that I was your mate?,” she asked quietly.

She needed to know. She had always wondered why they had been so nice to her.

“I want to lie to you, Lils, so that you don’t think this is all because you’re my mate. I want to tell you that they didn’t know, I want to tell you that 1 kept it a secret, but everyone knew. The minute we touched, everyone could feel it, just having you by my side for those few moments amplified my power.”

“That’s why they knelt.”

“Yes. Even your father knew.” His face changed and she got anxious. He put his arm over her shoulders to hold her closer. “When I come to get you today, Lily, I want you to know something, so that you are not surprised.”

“Okay,” she said as she traced hearts on his bare chest.

“I will kill your father and put another family in charge of your clan. You should have never been treated like that. Human or not. My queen or not. That’s not how you treat another person. Period.” He paused and she knew he was trying to calm Gideon down. “The fact that you are my queen makes this worse. I want to burn the whole place to the ground. I want to make him bleed and watch as I take the lives of every single person that is Important to him. I want to let him feel his dragon die. I want him as broken, if not more broken, than you were at your lowest point.”

Her hands froze and she looked into his eyes again. “You sound like you really love me.”

He rolled over on top of her. “That’s because I do, Lily. Everything I have done in the last 3 years has been for or because of you. You said it in your speech, I am the bringer of death. I can either be everyone’s best friend or their worst enemy.” He leaned down to peck her lips. “And messing with my queen, they won’t get their worst enemy, they get the bringer of death.”

She put her hand over his heart and the slightly sped up beat made her long to soothe his anger. She gulped and let her fingers trail down his skin, setting off sparks in hopefully both of them. When she got to his throat, she wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him down towards her even more. She closed her eyes as his lips met hers. He growled and a shiver went through her body. She had expected their kiss to turn rough, but it remained gentle and passionate. He put his hands beside her body, caging her against the ground. Instead of feeling trapped, she felt safer than she had ever been. He groaned and pulled away.

“I might have to kill that teacher of yours.”

She blinked up at him. “What? Why?

“She just linked and said it was time to get on the road, but she could wait for us. I think we should get back and I will meet you at your clan. I just want to go get your mother. I’ll be there in three

hours at the most. Your drive is about that. So, we should get there at the same time and-”

She put her finger on his lips. He was babbling and it was so cute. She giggled when he sucked her finger into his mouth.

“What are we going to do with all my stuff? I can’t take it home with me. They’ll all know you were with me.”

He smiled. “I will have it delivered to my castle.” He flicked her nose. “The perfect castle for the perfect queen with her imperfect king beside her.”

She rolled her eyes, trying to hide how happy it made her to hear him call her perfect. They stood up and he immediately scooped her up into his arms. She threw her arms around his neck and nuzzled into his chest. His wings came out of his back and he took off into the skies. They were back at the hotel in minutes and he stopped beside her teacher.

“Give us ten minutes. Let her shower and get dressed.”

She nodded. Lukas took her upstairs to their floor where they both showered in their individual rooms and got ready. They walked down together and he pulled her against his chest in front of the van she had arrived in. He laid his cheek on the top of her head,

“Be safe, baby. I love you so much. I will be there as soon as

as soon as I can.”

She pulled back to smile up at him. “I love you, too, my king.”

She hopped onto the van and everyone made room for her. She rolled her eyes as she climbed over the seats to her favorite one in the back row. It was the best seat, becasue it was right next to the air vent. She closed her eyes after pressing a kiss into the window for him. His grin at her

simple gesture brought joy to her as she settled in to nap on the way home. This whole week after her talk with Gideon, she hadn’t gotten much sleep. She had learned a lot from the hours on end she had spent talking with Gideon while Lukas slept. She yawned and let herself drift off.

“Lily, honey, come on. I’ll walk you up to the castle.”

She rubbed her eyes and looked at her teacher. She was shocked to find that everyone else had been dropped off already. She got out of the van and her heart pounded at the sight of her father waiting on the stairs for her. She let her shoulders drop and she struggled not to look around for Lukas.

hoped he was here watching. Mrs. Romanas gestured to her father. They began to walk in his direction and a shadow fell over them. Loatie had stepped on the porch and she stopped. Mrs. Romanas stopped beside her. Her father stood up and made his way down the stairs angrily Lily whimpered and Mrs. Romanas stepped in front of her

“King Luis, how are you today?”

“I sent you away with my daughter and you let her misbehave. What good are you to the kingdom if you can’t obey a simple order?”

“Your Majesty, I-‘

Her father ripped her throat out and Lily screamed as her teacher fell to the ground lifeless. She turned around to nun and found Loatie behind her. When did he get there? She tried to dart around him, but he grabbed her around the throat and she squeezed her eyes shut. Where was Lukas? He had promised to be here. The ground shook and her eyes opened. Gideon. She struggled against Loatie’s grip as Lukas shifted back to his human form.

“Let her go!,” he yelled.

Loatie’s hand released her and she took off towards Lukas who was moving just as fast in her direction, too. A portal opened in front of her and a gust of energy forced her through it. She screamed again and his curse was the last thing she heard before she was swallowed whole by darkness.
