Chapter 73


    Lily


    She pictured Lukes in her mind and let their link open. She took a deep breath in, smiling.


    Lukas, she called softly to him.


    The space around her shifted and she opened her eyes. Lukas stood in front of her, eyeing her like


    he always did when he first showed up. He opened his arms and she flew across the few feet that


    separated them to wrap her arms around his waist. She buried her face in his chest, breathing his


    scent in. He chuckled and the vibrations moving through his chest sent sparks racing along her


    skin. His arms went around her and he held her tightly.


    “What do you want to do today, Lily?”


    She didn’t answer him immediately. She knew what she wanted to do, but Gemma was going to be


    mad. She had begged Lily not to say anything to Lokas about her fear. She tipped her head back


    to search his face. He always walted so patiently for her to decide what they were going to do. It


    was always her choice, but today she wanted to do something he would enjoy, too. She hoped his


    joy would rx Gemma


    “Do you think we can fly?”


    “Of course. Are you riding today or are you gonna fly by yourself?


    “1. ummmm… I want Gemma to fully shift”


    Gemma pushed forward, growling. “NO! I TOLD YOU I DIDN’T WANT TO DO THAT!”


    Elly ignored her. “Gemma is afhold. We’ve only partially shifted, since our first time. Gemma is


    afraid of falling like we did the first time. I tried to exin her that for our first shift she did really well


    and with why we shifted, it was–“–


    ser around and lifted her arms out. “You’re wrong. Gemma. This is your first time shifting,” he


    whispered in her ear.


    He turned her


    He wrapped his arm around her waist and his other one stretched our to link their fingers together.


    He let Gideon’s onyx scales cover his arm.


    “Nice and slow, Gemma,” he murmured, burying his face in her hair. “Just let your instincts guide


    you. I got you. We’re right here with you.”


    Lily took a deep breath and pulled Gemma forward. She could feel her hesitation,


    Gemma, let him heal you like he heated me.”


    Gemma leaned back against him and let her scales cover her body starting with her arm and


    spreading out and down. He kissed her neck as he slowly backed away. He came back a moment


    later and covered her body with his enormous wings. Gideon’s warm body nuzzled into her.


    Let your body go, Gemma. Let your limbs get longer, thicker, wider. Let me see your beautiful face,”


    Gideon encouraged inside their head.


    She took a deep breath and let herself grow heavier. Secondster, she was pushing herself up off


    the ground as Gideon backed away. Gemma raised her head, mervously. Gideon slowly walked


    around her, nudging her and licking along her body. She turned to watch him as he took in her


    dragon form. She shifted


    nervously on her paws.


    ‘So, umm, what do you think?”


    Hee back


    ck up to her head and nuzzled against her neck. I think you are just as perfect now as you are


    when you’re human.”


    Lily smiled inside Gemma’s head. She always took such joy in hispliments. He was always


    ready to give one and he was so genuine with them. Gemma tilted her head.


    “So, what now?”


    “We Py.”


    “What if I fall again“?”


    Gideon licked her snout “Then I will catch you, I will


    I will always catch you.”


    She hesitated, unsure. Lily wrapped her arms around Gemma.


    “Let him heal us,” she begged.


    席


    She opened her wings , before closing them back. “Can we just walk?”


    “Sure.”


    Gideon took off walking and Gemma followed. He began to dance around her, brushing against her


    and setting off electricity inside of her. She nipped at him, but he darted away, beforeing back


    and gently pushing her with his body. She stopped walking to watch him approach her again. He


    went to bump into her again when she sidestepped which sent him rolling on the ground.


    She quickly climbed on top of him with her pay on his chest. She stared down at him and for a


    moment the entire world stood still. She leaned down to lick along his neck, stopping at his hottom


    lip. Heid still, letting her do what she wanted. Lily’s anxiety rose and Gemma Mcked him once


    more before, pping her wings and lifting into the sky. She looked down and he was gone. She


    panicked and began to search the air for him. She looked above herself and let out a sigh of relief


    when he was flying upside down over her. She craned her neck back, watching him curiously.


    ‘How do you do that?


    He rolled over and around her. ‘Roll over and flop your wings the opposite way.


    She nervously ripped her wings, before


    before shaking her head. I’m scared,‘ she admitted.


    He moved under her until her stomach rested on his back. Roll over and p your wings. Igor you.”


    She licked her snout natously, before slowly rolling over. She pped her wings while she let him


    hold her up. Her body slowly lifted up until she was flying upside down a few feet above him. He


    slowly dropped lower until he could roll around her to My above her with his head hanging down to


    watch her.


    “You are so beautiful,” he whispered.


    Her heart sped up and her wings faltered. She started plummeting towards the ground and she let


    out an curious roar. Gideon angled his body down towards her and wrapped his wings around her.


    She wed at him, panicked.


    They rolled in the air and she squeezed her eyes shut. Gemma pulled back and Lily was thrust


    forward, shifting forcibly back into her human form. He shifted back, too, and they hit the ground


    rolling. The softness theynded on molded around their bodies until they came to a stop. He


    looked down at her.


    “Are you okay?”


    She nodded, smiling. “Can we do that again?”


    Heughed, rxing. She reached up to trace his lips and hisugh was immediately cut off. He


    tilted his head back down to her. She let her fingers trail across his face to allow her arm to wind


    around his neck. She pulled his face down towards hers and slowly let her lips meet his. He licked


    at her lips, watching her face closely


    Her mouth opened and he let his tongue enter slowly. Her hands moved down his body and he


    bent her leg up, before cing his hands on either side of her head. She lifted her hips and he


    began to gently push against her core.


    “So, this is the famous Lukas that has stolen your heart.”


    Lukas pulled away from her and she shot straight up. She stared up at the hooded figure standing


    next to a man with blonde hair and hazel eyes.


    She raised her hands to lower her hood. “My name is not Cora. It’s La”


    Lily jumped to her feet to run over to her. She threw her arms around her.


    “Mom,”


    She nuzzled into Lily, before pulling away. She gestured to the man standing there watching them.


    “This is your father, sweetheart.”


    She pulled him closer to hug him, too. She nced at Lukas who was watching with his teeth


    bared, prepared to jump in at any moment if she needed him. She


    went back to his side to take his hand. She hugged him forward.


    “Mom, Dad,


    d, this is Lukas. My mate,” she said, blushing.


    Her father held out his hand. Tm-


    Sterling materialized in front of them and he immediately sung on Lukas who pivoted to avoid his


    blow


    “DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING?”


    Lily’s motherughed. “I do believe yo


    you were screwing my


    my sister.”

    Sterling turned towards them. “Sister? You’re Lily’s mother?,” he asked, turning a few shades


    lighter. Her mother held out her hand and he shook it. “I’m Sterling-”


    Her father stepped forward with his hand out. “My daughter’s adoptive father.”


    He shook her father’s hand, before massaging the back of his own neck. “Who called me?”


    Lily’s mother titted her head. “I did.”


    “Why?”


    She met Lily’s eyes. “Because our daughter hasn’t been fully honest with you guys.”
