My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 78

Lily stepped into the open portal and her body was squeezed as she was yanked forward. She landed on the other side where Sommer stood waiting with a cloak. She held it out.

“You’ll need this. It’s colder here.”

Lily put it on and lifted the hood over her hair. “Okay. Now, where are we going?”

Sommer took off, walking down a street while the others huddled close together for warmth. Lily rolled her eyes and let herself h Laughed.

Het herself heat up. The girls all

“I always forget we can do that.”

Sommer began to chat happily as they passed shops. Suddenly, Lily stopped in front of a building where two men stood outside. The other girls stopped. Lily lifted her nose in the air and inhaled deeply. Gemma purred and urged Lily to go inside. One of the men stopped her.

“You have to be 21 to enter and even if you were, we’re not open to the general public tonight.”

Lily growled. “Let me in.”

“In your dreams, little girl. The king’s beta said not to allow a lot of people in and we are at capacity for the night.”

“I want to go in,” Lily repeated

“No. Now, go away.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Sommer shook her head at Gina who stepped up to the man to come to Lily’s aid.

“Last chance, let me in.”

“No. Now, go away. I don’t know who you think you are, but-”

Lily lifted her hands to lower her hood. “My name is Lilianna Lincoln and I’m going inside with or without your permission.”

Her aura came out, making the man sink to the ground, writhing in pain. Her head turned to the other man, who rushed to open the doors for them. Lily stepped over the man on the ground as she lifted her hood again. Gina giggled.

“Why didn’t you tell us King Lukas was your mate?”

“Because I am still my own person.”

“We know that, but everything makes so much sense now. This is so cool.”

“Shhhh,” Lily snapped as she saw Lukas dancing with Jo..

Lily kept to the shadows as she watched them. Every time a woman came up to them, lo shoned them away. Lukas kept tossing back drinks. Lily’s heart broke more and more the longer she watched him. She could see his hurt. She could almost reach out and touch it. She sighed, reaching for their link again. His steps faltered and he put his hands on his face. He took a deep breath and kept the link shut.

Jo stopped moving to say something to him. He nodded and lowered his hands. The tears in his eyes shattered her even more. She started making her way over to them. Jo wrapped her arms around his waist and squeezed, before backing away. She took his hand and began trying to get him dancing again. Jo stepped in her way as she neared them.

“He’s not interested. Go away.”

Lily reached out to touch her hand as she let her aura flare out as a warning. Jo’s eyes widened, before she left his side. He tried to go after her, but Lily stepped in his path. She reached out to touch his hand. Her body trembled when their sparks immediately raced along her skin. He pulled back.

I have a mate,” he slurred and tried to walk around her.

She pressed against him, igniting even more sparks inside of them. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close for a moment, before letting her

“Thave a mate.”

He stepped around her. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. She lowered her hood and his eyes closed. His hand raised to cup her cheek, before fisting and falling away from her face.

“You look like my Lily,” he whimpered, “Why do you look like my Lily?”

He let his hand reach for her again, before turning on his heel and almost running away from her. He grabbed jo and dragged her out of the club. Sommer went over to Lily.

“So, ummm.. What was that about?”

Lily turned to her, smiling. “He still loves me.”

Sommer raised an eyebrow at her. “Did you seriously have doubts?

“Yes, but even drunk, he only wants me. I know you wanted to hang out tonight, but I have something to do.” Lily hugged her. “I love you, TumTum. I know you got this tomorrow. We’ll

celebrate,” she called over her shoulder as she ran out of the club.

She stopped beside the man just outside the doors. “Which way did the king go?”

He pointed at a hotel across the street. “He’s staying there.”

Lily looked for cars, before sprinting across the street. She was walking up to the desk, when a scent made her stop. She turned slowly to find to standing by the door with her arms folded across her chest. She sighed.

“He’s asleep, Lily. I don’t think you’re going to get him to wake

up”

“But.. you

guys just

a just left.”

That much alcohol would have knocked anybody out.”

“So, what do I do?”

“I’ll get you a room. You go talk to him in the same way this whole thing got messed up.”

Lily sighed. “jo, I want to see him.”

“Fine. Come on.”

To went to the counter and got a room, before leading her up to the fourth floor. She took Lily into a room where snoring could be heard. Lily walked over to the bed and stroked his hair back. He didn’t

move. She shook him. Again, no reaction. She climbed up on top of the bed and patted his cheek.

“LUKAS?! WAKE UP!” she screamed.

To groaned. “I told you. He’s out.” She held up the key, “Go to sleep, Lily. Go fix this,”

She snatched the key from Jo. “Why can’t I sleep in here?”

“Because if you panic it could be worse. You’re not ready for that. Now, gu. You’re in the adjoining room to mine and Ethan’s.”

She followed to out, looking over her shoulder at Lukas breathing evenly on the bed. She entered the room Jo took her to and immediately climbed into bed after thanking Jo. She curled up in the blankets and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and let Gemma put her under. She began to pull on Lukas” link again, only to find it firmly closed. She growled and started to pace angrily. She tried again and still it was shut. She sat on the ground with her knees pulled up. Gemma appeared in front of her and Lily moved closer to her.

“What do I do?”

Gemma nudged her check. “Reach for Gideon He’ll let us in. He told me he would.”

Lily hesitantly reached for Gideon’s link with Gemma. She celebrated silently when it was wide open. She tried to tag on him through it, but she was the one pulled through it. She gasped out as her world reshaped. She found herself in a yard behind several dragons and her father.

She watched as her younger self stumbled into view. Someone moving drew her attention. Lukas was walking over to her younger self. The scene froze when she

wards Ana. Lukas wrapped his arms around the midair Lily and let her unfreeze. He sank to the ground with her in his arms. She looked up at

He lowered his lips to hers. She melted into him until he pulled back to lean his forehead against hers.

“I want to go back to this day. I want to take you away. I should have taken you away,” he told her. “I love you, Lily Why didn’t you trust me enough to tell me what was going on? I could have protected you. I could have made you happy.”

Lily swallowed down the hump in her throat. She approached the couple on the ground. She knelt beside them. Lukas looked at her with tears streaming down his face. He reached out to touch her face, his thumb stroking her cheek.

“Lily”

the gripped his wrist and leaned against him. “Lukas.”

The dream Lily faded away. Lily climbed into his lap and buried her face in his neck. His arms went around her and she clung to him.

“I am so sorry. I should have never done that to you. I know..” She took a deep breath. “I know you wouldn’t hurt me like that.”

His hand came up to grip the back of her neck as he started rocking her. “I would have never forced you.”

“I know.” She squered him. “Can you ever forgive me?”

The dream wavered, before shifting to a lake. He positioned her to sit beside him. He shifted and went into the water. She watched as he created a twister, before bringing her some fsh. He shifted

back, smoke curling out of his nostrils from cooking the fish and held it out to her. She hesitantly took it. She looked up at him.

– “You- you fished for me?,” she stuttered.

He nodded. “Because I love you. I always want to take care of you.

“Does this mean you forgive me?

He tucked her hair behind her ear. “Only if you promise to never do anything like that again.”

She nodded and held up a piece of cooked fish to his lips. “I promise.”
