Chapter 91


    She woke up in a strange room and panic set in. She sat straight up, clutching the nkets to her


    chest as her heart threatened to thump out of her chest. She looked around and her body started to


    rx as she began to recognize Lukas’s room. What had she done? She got up and the cool air


    Instantly hardened her nipples. She looked down at herself and her knees wobbled when she saw


    she was naked. She sank back down onto the bed. She looked around for her clothes and her fear


    rose when she couldn’t find them. Was he trying to hold her hostage? She got up to go to the


    dresser to steal some of his to escape from his room, when her eyesnded on a neatly folded up


    outfit with a piece of folded up paper on top of it, on the bedside table on the side of the bed she


    was on. She reached for it with shaking hands.


    Lils,


    Good morning, my queen. I am sorry I had to run this morning. I tried very hard to wake you up


    before I left, so you would know I was leaving. When you wake up, feel free to shower if you want. I


    was going to clean you up, but I didn’t want to touch you without your knowledge and consent. I left


    you baby wipes with your clothes in case you choose to not shower right away. I will be either in my


    office, the training grounds or the dining hall for meals. The chefs are aware that you mighte


    get food. You can either have them make you some or cook for yourself (I don’t want to force you


    into being waited upon if you don’t want to bej


    If you decide to go out somewhere, please, take to with you. There are going to be a lot of curious


    people and jealous women. And to answer your question, because I know it will cross your mind, no


    I haven’t been with mybody, but now I am marked, so me saying I have a mate that I love is going


    to hold a lot more weight. My entire staff has been informed to leave you alone unless you ask for


    something, but fo will be with you, so you can ask her whatever if that makes you more


    “With all of my love,”


    Lukas


    P.S. You are absolutely the best sight I have ever woken up to, next to our daughter. I love you,


    Lily, and our family.”


    She crumpled the paper in her hands angrily as she once again reached towards the bedside table.


    She froze when she saw the gold band on her finger. She held it up to stare at it. Her heart sank as


    even more doubt crept into her mind. Was he trying to mark her as his property? Oh, Goddess.


    Speaking of marking. She looked down and she got dizzy when she saw the four perfectly healed


    lines going down her body. Her hand went to her throat as her chest tightened. Not again. She


    couldn’t do this. She hurriedly put the outfit on, frowning down at the brand new clothes. She left


    the room and ran down the stairs where she bumped into Jo who steadied her.


    “Lily, good afternoon. I was justing to find you, Lukas said-


    “Where’s Kenny?”


    “In the dining hall eating lunch. Are you okay?”


    “No!”


    She sprinted past Jo, making her way quickly to the dining hall. She pushed the doors open and her


    eyes immediately went to Lukas who sat talking to several men. He lifted his head as soon as she


    stepped inside and a smile lit up his face which was almost immediately reced by a frown. He


    studied her face, before standing up. She took a step back, trying to force oxygen into her lungs


    that felt way too small to keep her alive at that moment. Gemma hovered right behind Lily’s eyes,


    watching. She nced at Kenny, who got to his feet and started heading over to her, sensing her


    panic. She took another step back and held her hand out to Kenny, shaking her hand.


    “Stop. Don’t touch me.”


    Lukas slowly approached her. “Lily, look at me.” Her panicked eyes looked all around, before


    meeting his. “Deep breaths, Lils. In and out. Close your eyes. One. Two. Three. Four, Five,” he


    slowly counted out for her as she did as he asked. “Good girl His hand touched her face and his


    thumb stroked her cheek. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”


    She opened her e


    eyes and a tear crept down her face. “Just because we fucked doesn’t mean you own me.”


    His body jerked and his hand tensed against her face. “I didn’t fuck you, Lily. You know I didn’t. I


    fucked you before andst night was not it,”

    She held up her hand and gestured to her body. “Then why all of this to warn men away from your


    property?,” she snapped.


    He stared down at her for a moment, before sinking to his knees in front of her. He wrapped his


    arm around her waist and buried his face in her


    stomach.


    “If anybody owns anybody in this rtionship, Lily, it is you that owns me. Everything I didst night


    and today was to show you that I love


    you.


    It was


    1/1


    not a im. It is what a man does for the woman he loves. I would do anything to show you that.”


    She stared at him as her doubt began to fade. She could feel the honesty in his words and she


    wanted to trust him. She thought she had, but the anxiety of what they had done the night before


    was getting to her. She needed time to process it and work through her emotions. He had said she


    wasn’t ready. She should have listened to him. Now, she had put them into a mess that she didn’t


    know how to get them out of


    “Test him, if you must, Lily, but don’t keep doing this to him. He never pressured you into anything.


    This is all on you,” Gemma growled at her.


    “I know, but-


    “But nothing. If you need time then tell him. He will understand. He always has.”


    She brushed her hands over his hair. “Lukas, I need time. Please, let me go.”


    He looked up at her with sadness filling his eyes “Lily, please, I just got you back.”


    “Let me go


    He forced himself to let her go and stood up. He took several steps back and stuck his hands in his


    pockets.


    “Go,” he whispered.


    She filed from the hallway only to copse against the wall, panting and trying to hold down the


    vomit that was trying toe out. As she leaned against the wall for support, she heard the other


    kings begin to talk about Lukas being weak. She growled lightly as they began to challenge his


    authority and she could feel his hurt even though their link was closed


    “What good is a king that can’t even control one person? She is a child and you let her walk all


    over you, What does that say about your capabilities to


    rule?”


    She straightened up and stormed back into the hall. Everyone fell silent.


    “Where are your mates?,” she asked them. Nobody spoke, “WHERE ARE YOUR MATES?,” she


    asked again.


    Several women around the hall mised their hands. Lily pointed in front of her.


    “Get your knives ande here,” she ordered, letting her aura re out like Sasha had taught her.


    They all obeyed and she had & women in front of her in seconds. She slowly met every man’s eyes,


    before pointing at them.


    “I want you to kneel in front of your mates, so I know who you are mated to.”


    The women scrambled to obey. She stood in front of the first one. “Slit your throat.”


    The woman began to raise the knife and her mate leapt up.


    “STOP! LAPOLOGIZE! I WON’T QUESTION HIM ABOUT YOU ANYMORE! JUST, PLEASE,


    DON’T LET HER ”


    “Sleep.”


    The woman dropped the knife and she hit the ground, snoring. Lily moved to the next woman and


    then the next with the same results. She red at the men one by one.


    “My mate is a good man and a great king. Do not ever let my failings cause you to lose faith in him.


    He loves me like you love your mates and when I am ready to be queen, he will be the first to know.


    You should thank the Goddess that you haven’t been through what we have been through, because


    I guarantee you, that most if not all of you, would have left your mates if you had been. Lukas is


    stronger than all of youbined and I will not allow you to speak to him like that.”


    They all bowed their heads. “We apologize, Your Highness.”


    She turned around and went back Lukas. She wrapped her arms around his waist.


    “I am so sorry.”


    His arms instantly wrapped around her to hold her close. “It’s okay. Promise me, when you are


    ready, we’ll talk about it.”
