Chapter 95
Lukas gently shook Lily from her nap on hisp. She immediately jumped up and her hands shifted.
She looked around widely, before her eyesnded on him. He held his hands up and leaned back
in his chair.
“Lily, baby, you’re okay. I just wanted to know if you wanted to go to dinner? I am done reviewing
the n records.”
She came back over to wrap ber arms around his neck. She timidly kissed his lips
“Yeah, sure. I don’t think I have eaten yet. We were supposed to get mac and cheese, but it didn’t
happen.”
Heughed and got up. He took her hand and led her out of the room. “Come on, sweetheart.”
He took her to the dining room where she immediately pulled away to dash over to Lucy. She
picked her up and sat her on the table as she ran her hands over her body, checking for any sign
that she had been hurt, Sashaughed.
“Such a
a mama bear,” she teased.
Lily bared her teeth at her. “Forgive me if I took a leap of faith in letting
letting someone that I didn’t know remove her away from people I knew were safe.”
Lucian sighed. “I would never hurt her, Lily. I love children.”
Lily took a deep breath to not spit an angryeback at him. “I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. I know you probably don’t think I am a good father, because Guriel was a monster, but that
was not how he was raised. He was raised to respect the mate bond. Our only w was loving him
and spoiling him. If we hadn’t, maybe he wouldn’t have felt so entitled.” He sighed again. “I wish I
could show you how he was raised and what he was taught, but I can’t.”
Lily turned to look at Kni. “You can’t, but she can.”
Kni shook her head. “Absolutely not. There is no way in hell”
Lukas put his hands on Lily’s shoulders. “Lily, listen to me. I can show you my memories. You don’t
need to see his ”
She threaded her fingers through his as she looked at him. “But only through his will I see the truth
of who he is.”
He clenched his jaw, thinking hard about what she said. He groaned and nodded.
“Lani, show her. It’ll be okay. If this is what she believes she needs, do it.”
Lily handed Lucy to Sasha. “Can you watch her tonight?”
“Sure.”
Sasha smiled down at Lucy, “Come on, sweetie. Mommy will you seeter.”
Lukas sighed and picked Lily up as Kni settled back in her chair. Lucian threw his hands up, but
sat in the chair next to Kni, She put her hands on him and Lily was immediately yanked forward.
Kni took her hand and gave it a slight squeeze. Lucian stood next to them with his hands in his
pockets.
“What now?”
“Now, we look through your memories. Anything in particr you want to see, Lily?”
“Can we just stort from Lootie’s birth and fast forward? If I see something. I’ll stop you.”
Kni nodded. She raised an eyebrow at Lucian who sighed. He closed his eyes and the darkness
turned into a dimly lit room with a beautiful brteying on a bed with her legs spread open. A
woman in scrubs knelt in front of her and Esn stood next to her, holding her hand.
“Ready?”
Elly modded. “I think so.”
Lily closed her eyes as the scene began to change and rapidly moved past them. Lly focused on
the emotions flying past her until a heartbreak almost crippled
1/4
her. She cried out and grabbed ahold of Kn?’s arm.
“Here Stop. This one.”
She opened her eyes as the scene backed up. Lucian looked at her sadly
“This is the day he became dead to me,” he murmured,pletely devastated
Lucian and the brte were dancing around the kitchen as food sizzled in a pan on the stove. The
sound of a door opening made him push her behind him as he sniffed the air and bared his teeth.
The kitchen door opened and Lucian smiled.
“Guriel, son, you havee home.”
The brte rushed around Lucian to hug Loatie. “We have missed you so much.”
Loatie kept his arm around his mother as he grinned at his father, “Dad, I need your help.”
“Of course. What are we doing?”
“I need your antivenom to control someone.”
Lucian tensed, before shaking his head. “No.”
Loatle frowned. “It’s just a little antivenom. It won’t hurt.
“I said no. I changed thews to make sure that the vampire race never interfered with other
species again. Everyone should make their own decisions.”
“Dad, it’s one girl. My antivenom isn’t strong enough.”
“Who’s the girl, Guriel?”
“Uliando.”
His mother gasped and pped him. “Get it out of your mind, son. You told us she had a mate. We
do not interfere in mate bonds.”
Loatie bared his teeth and shook her violently. Lucian rushed towards him, but stopped when
Loutle jerked his mother’s head back and ced his elongated
teeth less than an inch from her neck.
“I will drain her if you don’t help me,” he threatened. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Lucian held his hands up when she shook her head. “Son, listen to me, well help you find your true
mate. Please, you’re better than this.”
Loatie met his father’s eyes. “Wrong answer, old man.
Loatie’s teeth sank into her neck and he swallowed gulps of blood from her. She screamed out and
Lucian rushed him again. Energy swirled around Lootle and his mother, making a barrier that
Lucion bounced off of He wed at it as he howled. The woman struggled in Loarie’s hold, trying
desperately to get away. She paled more and more as her movements grew weaker. She held up
her hand to the barrier and Lucian mimicked her movement on the other side.
“I love you,
Lucian,” she whispered.
“I love you, too, Macy”
Lucian copsed unconscious when Loatle snapped her neck after he finished draining her. The
vision went dark for a moment, before light filtered in through a crack, Lucian wasying on a cot in
a cell. He put his hand over his heart and a tear ran down his face. He closed his eyes.
“Macy,” he cried out.
“You should have just helped me, Dad, and mom would still be here.”
Lucian jumped up to charge the bars. Jils arm was thrust through the bars so he could w at
Loutle who had stepped out of the shadows.
“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO KILL HER,” he screeched.

Loatieughed coldly. “Of course, I did. How else would I make you weak enough toply?
“SHE FUCKING LOVED YOU! YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU DIDN’T DESERVE HER LOVE! SHE
WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR YOU! SHE WAS
ALWAYS THERE FOR YOUT
“You are just as responsible for her death as I am. All you had to do was give me some of your
antivenom.”
Lucian sank to his knees with his head down, breathing hard. He suddenly looked up at Loatle.
“Your mother, my Macy, had more in her pinky toe worthy of life than you have in your entire fucking
body. Get the hell away from me. I will die before I help
you.
Lily moved over to hug their guide, when his knees hit the ground, too. He clung to her and put his
face against her shoulder.
“I loved her. I still love her,” he said, his voice full of unshed tears.
Lily looked up at Kni. “That’s enough.”
She was thrown from Lucian’s mind immediately. She snapped awake and Lukas wiped her face.
He red up at Kni.
“What in the fuck happened?”
Lily climbed off hisp to kneel beside Lucian. She touched his cheek and his sorrow immediately
swamped her again. She pressed her forehead against his, closing her eyes.
“I am so sorry. What he did to you was a million times worse than what he did to me.” Lily pulled
back to look at Lukas. She wiped her face again. “1 don’t know how I would go on if I lost you.”
Lukas hurried to her side to pick her up to hold her as her tears began to free fall down her face.
He bared his teeth at Kni, before turning on his heel. He took her to their room and sat on the
bed. He began to rock her as she clung to him, sobbing. She buried her face in his chest.
“I am so sorry, Lukas. I am so sorry for everything.”
He rubbed her back. “What the hell did they show you?”
She raised her face to look at him. “He.. he couldn’t save her.”
“Who, baby?”
“His mate,” she whispered.
“Lucian’s?”
She nodded and wiped her nose on her shirt. “I couldn’t even imagine…” She closed her eyes
again. “I never want to lose you,”
He kissed her forehead. “You won’t, baby.”
“Do you promise?,” she sniffled.
“I do.” He put her hand over his heart. “It’ll be me and you forever. I promise,”
