My Tortured Mate Chapter 20

She led him into the water and he followed her without hesitancy. She tugged him deeper into the lake until her feet could no longer touch the bottom of it. She began floating on her back and her hair spread out to surround her head like a halo. He stood beside her, moving his legs through the water to remain upright as she closed her eyes to enjoy the sun on her face. She smiled at him.

“What’s wrong?,” she asked shyly.

He ran his fingers down her face in awe of her beauty. “Nothing,” he muttered.

She shifted in the water to mirror his position in front of him, gently moving her feet back and forth. She tilted her head back slightly to meet his eyes and he immediately was entranced, desperately lost in her gorgeous blue eyes.

“What’s wrong? I can feel something is wrong with you.”

He swallowed. “How do you know?”

She put her hand over his heart as she smiled. “I love you. Why wouldn’t I know?”

His eyes closed and he put his hand over hers, relishing the feel of her touch on his skin. “Say it again. Please,” he all but begged her.

Her hand curled on his chest, easily sliding her fingers through his. “I love you, Lukas.”

“Lily,” he whispered grief in his voice. “I wish you were real.”

“I am real.”

“How can I be sure you are not just something I made up to be happy for a moment?”

“Then come get me.

His eyes opened to roam over her face before meeting her gaze. “Where are you?,” he asked hopefully.

She pulled her hand away from his. “You shouldn’t come. It’s dangerous,” she murmured as she swam backward away from him.

Gideon urged him to follow her. Not that he needed him to tell him to be close to her. She disappeared under the water and when she didn’t surface quickly, he panicked. He dove under the water to search for her. He turned around in a circle, searching for her as his anxiety rose. Suddenly, something grabbed his leg, making him look down. She kicked her feet and her body brushed his as she shot up towards the surface of the water. He broke the surface with her and her giggles made him smile.

“It took you long enough. I was running out of air,” she said.

the reached out to touch her, letting his hand fall back in the water before he did, “Lily, you are so beautiful,” he told her, his voice breaking on the last work

She lowered her eyes. “That’s only because you’re suppose to think your mate is beautiful.”

He turned away from her. “I don’t have a mate, Lily. She lied. I can feel it.”

She ran her hands up his back. “If you don’t have a mate, then neither do 1.”

He turned back to her, gripping her hands tightly. “Don’t say that! You have a mate.” He let her hands go. “And he’s a lucky person to have you”

She touched his face and sparks ignited on his skin. His eyes widened. He lifted a trembling hand to hers, confused by what he was feeling. She made him want to have his mate back. She made him want- She was dragged under the water and she flailed, Gideon made him dive back under the water to see a shadow figure dragging her away from him. Gideon forced a shift and breathed out a stream of fire hotter than anything he had ever felt before.

The water evaporated around them and the shadow figure screamed in agony as it was incinerated, tily was released and Gideon flapped his wings to speed up his fift so he could catch her before she hit the bed of the lake that was now dried up. He wrapped his wings around her moments before she crashed into the ground. He held her for a while as his heart pounded painfully in his chest. She clung to him sobbing until Gideon let him shift back to wrap his arms around her. He looked down at her and was shocked to see that she had grown younger and had bruises all over her exposed skin. She looked up at him sadly,

“Help me.”

He gently touched the bruise on her cheek. “Where are you? Tell me and I swear that I will come find you.”

She flattened his hand on her cheek, closing her eyes. “live in Lotus.”

He kissed her lips softly. “I’m coming. Just be safe until get there,”

Her small hand went around his wrist. “Hurry.”

Her body slowly disappeared off of his lap and he let his hand fall. He jumped to his feet, calling out for Gideon to wake him up. He paced agitatedly until he felt his dragon struggling to do what he

asked.

He opened his eyes and jumped out of his bed. He ran out of his room as he reached for his father’s link to ask him to have Javier meet him in the foyer. He bareled around the corner and ran straight into his stepmother who glared at him.

“SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!,” she screamed.

“Sorry,” he muttered as he tried to move around her.

She grabbed his arm to make him stop. “Where are you going?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“To see Javier.”

“Javier left,” she growled.

He tried to pull away from her and her grip tightened. “Please, let me-”

“Well, let me help you!,” she snapped.

She dragged him to the banister before her wing came out and knocked him over. His wings immediately came out to slow his fall. He landed in the foyer as she stomped angrily down the stairs. A portal opened and Javier came through. He smiled at Lukas.

“What can I do for you, Prince Lukas?”

“I need to go to Lotus. Quickly.”

The portal flashed green and then white before he nodded his head. “There you go, Prince Lu-”

Lukas ran through and didn’t stop running until he was in the dining hall where his father’s scent had led him. His father stood up and Lukas rushed towards him and Luis.

“Father, I need something.”

“What is it?,” he asked, concern written all over his face.

Lukas took a deep breath. “I need to see all the blondes from Lotus.”
