the knocked on the door and waited impatiently for it to be opened. When it was opened, Lonna pulled her into her arms immediately. Lily stood stiff

her embrace for a moment, before hugging her back. A moment later, Preston came running into the foyer. He wasted no time in wrapping them both

in his arms.

Lily. Goddess, are you really here?”

The nodded, unable to speak with the emotional lump that had I lodged itself in her t throat. Preston let them go to beam at Lily.

You look fantastic, sweetheart. King Lukas said that you had made a lot of progress. I hadn’t truly believed him, but there’s no denying it now.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

ily shifted uncomfortably. “L… I wa- wanted to invite y–you to my p–party,” she stuttered, her eyes going to the stairs.

Lonna followed her gaze, before putting her arm over her shoulders. “Come, my little love, let us show you what we did.”

onna began to lead her towards the stairs and she panicked. She pulled back and Lonna’s arm tightened on her shoulder. Preston took her hand and ut it on his arm.

“Lily, I know you suffered a lot of abuse here, but Lanna and I always loved you. We would never do anything to hurt you. Let us show you what we did to your room.”

Lily took a deep breath and stopped fighting them Gemma was alert and ready to tear them apart if Lily needed her to. They led her up to the second Eloor to the closet–sized room that she occupied when Luis and Martha weren’t trying to hide what they were doing to her. Preston pushed the door open and natural light flooded the hallway. She stepped inside and her mouth fell open. The room had been completely hollowed out. The floor had been replaced with a set of stairs and all around dozens of lily’s grew on the floor below. She walked the 3 foot ledge to the french doors that led to another set of stairs on the other side of the room. She looked over the bannister and her heart skipped a beat.

The patio overlooked a magnificent garden that held thousands more lilies, roses and other stunning plants. She went back to the first staircase and moved to the lower floor. She walked through the flowers, taking great care to stay on the stoned path as she made her way to the beautiful, ornately sculpted statue of Gemma with Lily sitting on the ground, leaning back against her. She traced the words below the statues, her heart swelling with pride. Lianna Lincoln, Genama Lincoln, The Queens of Queens, She blinked back tears. She wiped her nose on her shoulder and turned back to Preston and Lonna.

“It’s beautiful. How did you afford this? I saw the clan’s financial records. You had to take a loan from the king just to survive.”

Lonna smiled at her. “Preston went to your mate about three months after he was made king to ask for money to completely level the castle and build a new one. He was denied. King Lukas told him that when everything was over, he wanted to bring you back here himself and show you that every had thing has a good line in it eventually. He said that Preston was changing this clan for the better and when he brought you back, he wanted you to see that evil never wins. So, the two of them came up with this plan.” She gently stroked one of the lilies. “I spent months planting every single

plant you see. Lukas was here everyday for close to a year, helping the construction workers and me. I have never seen a man so determined to prove his love.” She laughed. “He took lilies of every color. I’m not sure what he wanted them for, but he never returned them.”

“I think I figured out what he used them for, remember? His tattoo. Those flowers are so realistic.” He looked at Lily. “It would be interesting to know.”

“Luka? What did you use the lilies for that you took from Latus?”

“I asked him. So, while we wait for a response, do you want to walk with me to Wolfsbane? Sommer is Alpha now and I wanted to invite her, too.”

“Sure. Ready when you are.”

“I used them for my tattoo. The artist drew the tattoo up and then ground the flowers up to put them into the ink,” Lukas replied.

Lily wrapped her arms around her own waist, hugging herself. She repeated to them what he had told her and left the garden room to hurry out of the castle. They kept pace, eyeing her.

“What’s wrong?”

“I just want to get home to him. We both waited so long to be together and I never realized just how much he cared. Sometimes, I find things out and all I want to do is be in his arms, but today is very big for our relationship.”

Lonna took her hand. “He absolutely adores you.”

She nodded as she took one last look at the castle behind her. “And I absolutely adore him back.”

They pointed out new additions to the kingdom and got her caught up on everything else as they made the two hour walk to Sommer’s pack. Lily was astonished at the amount of changes they had made in their short time as king and queen. Sommer met them at the gate, excitedly bouncing on her feet. She ran to meet them and instantly pulled Lily in for a hug.

“I heard you finally went home. Tell me, you little hussy, are you with egg yet?

Lily giggled and said goodbye to Preston and Lonna, making them promise to come to her dual graduation party/ wedding.

“No, and don’t go saying anything like that to Aja and Lani. They are already beating him up every chance they get.”

James grinned at them from the porch of the decently sized two story packhouse. “Hey, cuz.”

“Hey, James. How are things?

“Less murderingly,” he joked.

Sommer rolled her eyes. “How are things at the castle with Lukas? is it everything you thought it would be? Does he dote on you like a queen? Come on, spill,”

“It was always everything I thought it would be. He dotes on our daughters and that’s good enough for me. So, Sommer, I just wanted to invite you to my party. I wish I could stay longer, but we are ready to go home and see Lakas,TM

Her face fell a little, before she winked at her, “Girl, no apologies. We’ll catch up. Go get that third egg.”

Lily kissed her cheek, “The party is July 16th, okay?”

“I’ll be there. Now, shoo. You go get your dick and I’ll get mine.”

“You’re such a hoe, Sommer.”

She shrugged. “So are you, Lily.”

Lily giggled as she hugged Sommer. “But just like you, Sommer, I’m only a hot for my mate.t.

She pulled her phone out and called Javier to tell him to open a portal for her. As soon as it was, she ran through it. She smiled at Javier and followed her nose to Lukas” office. She threw it open and he got to his feet. She ran across the room to throw herself into his arms.

“I never want to go anywhere without you again.”

He chuckled and kissed her neck. “Lucky for you, Mrs. Lukas Lincoln, you don’t have to. How was your trip?”

She ran her fingers through his hair. “Too long. I’m glad I’m home now,”

“Good. Now, about this spanking….

She giggled and danced away. “Do I get a carrot after?”

He grinned as he stalked her across the room. “Oh, yeah.”
