My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 95

Lukas gently shook Lily from her nap on his lap. She immediately jumped up and her hands shifted. She looked around widely, before her eyes landed 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 clan 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.”

He laughed 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, Sasha laughed.

“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 angry comeback 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 flaw 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 Kalani. “You can’t, but she can.”

Kalani 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 see later.”

Lukas sighed and picked Lily up as Kalani settled back in her chair. Lucian threw his hands up, but sat in the chair next to Kalani, She put her hands on him and Lily was immediately yanked forward. Kalani 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 particular you want to see, Lily?”

“Can we just stort from Lootie’s birth and fast forward? If I see something. I’ll stop you.”

Kalani 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 brunette laying on a bed with her legs spread open. A woman in scrubs knelt in front of her and Esclan 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

her. She cried out and grabbed ahold of Kalanı’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, completely devastated

Lucian and the brunette 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 have come home.”

The brunette 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 the laws 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 slapped 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 placed his elongated

teeth less than an inch from her neck.

“I will drain her if you don’t help me,” he threatened.

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 clawed 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 collapsed 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 was laying 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 claw at Loutle who had stepped out of the shadows.

“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU! YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO KILL HER,” he screeched.

Loatie laughed coldly. “Of course, I did. How else would I make you weak enough to comply?

“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. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“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 Kalani. “That’s enough.”

She was thrown from Lucian’s mind immediately. She snapped awake and Lukas wiped her face. He glared up at Kalani.

“What in the fuck happened?”

Lily climbed off his lap 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 Kalani, 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,”
