Chapter 83


    Lukas


    He pushed his food around on his te. Today marked the 18th


    8th day since he had seen Lily in person or in his dreams. She had shut him out again. He wanted


    to go to the Drag?o n and snatch her up to bring her back to his castle to live in his closet.


    Everyday Sasha told him that she was happy and was smiling a lot.


    It made him ecstatic that she was doing well, but it made him worry that she seemed to be doing


    well without him. It made him wonder if she had decided not to be with him. He looked at where


    their daughter sat in her high chair, putting as many eggs on the floor as she put in her mouth. He


    sighed and reached for their link. It remained firmly closed and he shoved his te off of the table.


    The te shattered and Casey jumped.


    “Sorry, Casey,” he mumbled.


    She eyed him. “Still nothing from Lily?”


    “No. Has she contacted you?”


    “Yes, actually. She invited me to the castle tomorrow. She wants me to spend time with her


    daughter.” She tilted her head curiously at him. “Nobody told her that you have Lucy?”


    “Umm, no. I haven’t decided on how to tell her and now that she has pulled away again, I am really


    not sure how to tell her.”


    “You should just tell her, Luka.”


    “I will Soon, I promise.”


    She stood up and hugged him. “Try to hurry, Luka. She deserves the truth.”


    She walked off and Lukas was left wondering what he was going to do. He cursed and got up. He


    picked Lucy up and took her to his room. He bathed her, dressed her, packed her a bag to go and


    picked her back up. He bounced her lightly.


    “Come on, my little princess, mommy awaits.”


    He went down to the foyer where nsky stood waiting, Lukas groaned. At least one of them was


    excited for the day. He got to enjoy his mates while Lukas got to have a meeting and would have to


    come back home to be alone. Slonsky opened a portal and Lukas stepped through, cradling Lucy’s


    face to his chest. His sister and their mates stood waiting on the other side, Kni rushed over to


    take Lucy while Sasha rolled her eyes behind her back Gregory red at her as she walked back.


    “The answer is still no. We have to wait for our egg to hatch before we try again,” he growled.


    Kni tilted Lucy towards him. “But, Gory, look. Isn’t she so cute and little and perfect? Just look at


    that little button nose.”


    A crash came from behind them and he spun in time to see Gregory Junior leap off the porch,


    chasing a snake into the bushes. Gregory ran over and managed to grab his foot, before the boy


    disappeared into the bushespletely. He carried him back to Kni, holding him out by his


    ankle. Juniorughed and tried to escape. Gregory’s eyes narrowed.


    “This is why no, Annie. I can’t take anymore. He’s gonna be the death of me.”


    Lukasughed and pointed to Lucy. “This is why you should stick with girls, brother.”


    Gregory bared his teeth. “And have to kill her mate? How is that better?”


    Kni shifted Lucy in her arms to take Junior from his father. She gave him a stern look.


    “Behave, Junior or I will spank you.”


    His eyes widened in fear and he swallowed. “I’m sorry, Mama.”

    “Apologize to your father.”


    “Sorry, Daddy,” he said sheepishly.


    “Now, go find Auntie Ana and stop making your father’s hair grey.”


    They all watched as he scampered off. Lukas eyed his sister.


    “Do you really spank him?”


    She giggled, shaking her head. “No, I’ve never had to, but Gory gets ignored. Come on, Aja, let’s go


    rescue the nanny and let the boys get to work.”


    Lukas raised an eyebrow. “You know, you don’t have to justify the money you asked for. Aja would


    whoop your ass if you lied to me.”


    Aiden rolled his eyes. “It’s still weird to be equal you. Anyways, the construction is not what I really


    wanted to talk to you about. Ash asked me to talk to you. Come on, this way.”


    He turned around to walk towards the woods that surrounded their castle. Gregory followed him


    and Lukas trailed behind them slowly. He was not in the mood for bullshit today. They walked for


    half an hour, before Aiden stopped to sit on a boulder. Lukas leaned against a tree and Gregory


    started skipping rocks on the small river in front of them. Nobody spoke for a moment and Lukas


    finally growled.


    “What is it?”


    “Are you aware of what’s going on with Lily?”


    He stiffened as Gideon immediately went on alert. “What’s going on with her?”


    “She’s been such a hermittely. She is very friendly and everything when she’s around, but she


    goes to school andes straight home to sleep until she gets up for school the next day. How has


    she been in your dreams?”


    “She hasn’t. I haven’t seen her since Sommer took over as alpha. Are you worried about something


    in particr?”


    “Yes. I’m worried she’s sneaking out, but we haven’t been able to catch her. We don’t know when


    she leaves or why. Ash was wondering if you would want to stay around tonight and follow her if


    she leaves,” Aiden said.


    Gideon started dancing happily in his head. ‘Please say yes, Lukas. We can see Lily.‘


    He stuck his hands in his pockets. “Alright. What do you want me to do?”


    “We need you to mask your scent and stay Invisible.”


    Lukas grinned. “I can do that.”


    He could with a little difficulty, but would do it if it meant he finally got to see his Lily again. He


    nodded to himself. Aiden looked up as a shadow passed over them. Lukas looked up and a shiver


    ran down his spine. Lily was home. He looked at his watch. Why was she home? It was only


    midday. Aiden and Gregory started heading back to the castle. Lukas closed his eyes for a moment


    to make himself weightless. He opened his eyes and knew he was Invisible.


    ‘Gideon, our scent.”


    ‘I got us. Go.”


    He dashed back to the castle, catching up with his brothers as they exited the woods. Lily and


    Lucy were walking out of the door. Lukas froze as the vision of the two most important people in his


    life made him ache to hold them both. Lily smiled at Aiden and Gregory as she walked by. They


    nodded to her and she kept moving.


    “You got her, Lukas?”


    He followed her off the castle grounds and down to another house. Ilis jaw clenched as she


    knocked on the door. He hated not knowing whose house this was. A few minutester, the door


    was opened and he rxed when he recognized her friend, Deborah. Lily handed her Lucy, before


    hugging her and kissing Lucy’s forehead.


    “Thanks, Deb. I’ll be back in a few hours.”


    “Be safe, Lily.”

    “I will.”


    He followed Lily down another street to another house. He was going to have to put a bodyguard


    here to watch Lucy when he couldn’t be around. He wasn’t sure if he trusted the girl with his


    daughter.


    “If Lily trusts her, then we can, too. That’s the one Aja said has the ydates with Lucy,” Gideon


    growled.


    girl. If anything happens to


    “Shut up. We’re getting a bodyguard. We have no idea what Lily is doing, so until we do, we have


    no choice but to trust the girl Lucy, I will bum her house down.”


    Gideon breathed fire out and smoke curled out of Lukas‘ nostril. “I hate when you do that ”


    “I know,” Gideon responded smugly.


    Lily nced around her, before taking off into the woods, Lukas kept pace easily. She ran until she


    entered a field hidden by trees. Lukas bared his teeth when he saw a hoy waiting for her. He smiled


    at Lily who stopped in front of him, panting. She hugged him, before backing away. He raised his


    hand to her and she rolled her eyes, backing away a few more feet. She bounced on her feet for a


    minute, before stopping.


    “You always expend so much more energy than you need to. Are you ready?”


    “Yes.”


    She swung on him and he danced away,ughing, Lily pulled back to grin at him,


    “I’m taking you down today.”


    You can try.


    Lukas watched in amusement as Lily kept swinging on the bay while he blocked and avoided each


    blow. He could see Sasha in her moves and he sent up a prayer of gratitude that someone had


    been working with her. She kicked out at him and he grabbed her leg to swing her around. She hit


    the ground and Lukas took a step forward as the need to protect her almost ruined his task. Gideon


    pulled him back. Lily jumped back to her feet.


    “You know, Lily, you’re never going to win like this. You attack too hard and fast tost for long.


    You need to be more controlled when you fight.”


    “We can’t all have gamma blood in us, Kenny. You’re supposed to be teaching me, not lecturing


    me.”


    “I think we should call it quits today. Ethan will be mad if you don’t show up for training in the


    morning. Did you find someone to watch Lucy while you are at training? I could do it if you needed


    someone.”


    She bared her teeth at him. “No. I don’t want you to meet her. Her.. my mate will be the only man


    around her. You know this.”


    Lukas let out the breath he hadn’t realized he had been holding.


    “I hate to be the bearer of had news, but there are at least three men that are around her and I


    know for a fact that none of them are your mate.”


    She red at him. “Aiden, Gregory and Ethan are not men.”


    Kenny blinked in surprise. “Are they really women?”


    Lily dropped low to the ground, spinning on her left foot as she kicked out with her right, Kenny’s


    legs were kicked out from under him and she quickly stood back up to kick him in his ribs. He


    grunted and reached for her. She danced awayughing.


    “Never let your opponent know when you are going to attack, right?” She fist pumped the air and


    began to jog away. She stopped at the tree to look back at him, still giggling. “Oh, and for your


    information, they are family. They don’t count as men. I’ll see you tomorrow.”


    “Whatever,” he mumbled as he got up p off the ground. She started to sprint away. “AND DON’T BE


    LATE TO TRAINING AGAIN OR ETHAN WILL HAVE A


    FIT!”


    Lukas followed behind Lily again. She picked Lucy up and went back to the castle. He watched as


    she fed Lucy and ate herself. Lily entered her room and Lukas slipped past her, careful not to alert


    her to his presence. She got Lucy settled into her crib and climbed into bed. She reached through


    the bars to hold her hand. She sang softly to Lucy until she fell asleep. Lily stroked her hair.


    “Just a small nap, Lucy. When we wake up, mommy will y with you.” Lily yawned. “I love you, my


    sweet girl.”


    She closed her eyes and a few momentster, she was asleep. Lukas settled on the couch to watch


    her. He ran his eyes over her and then looked at their daughter. She really did look like Lily and he


    couldn’t wait to see them together forever in their home. He was more confident in her wanting him


    again after seeing her interactions with that boy. The first chance he got, he was going to show her


    and make sure she knew that this was the only things that mattered to him. Her, their daughter and


    being a family. He inhaled deeply.


    “Soon, Lily. Very soon,” he whispered out loud.


    A smile lifted her lips and he knew that she had heard him in her sleep. He closed his eyes when


    she started pulling on him.


    ‘Gideon?‘


    ‘I got us. Go see our mate.”
