Sommer

She pulled her waitress uniform on and sighed, running her fingers over the skirt, trying to smooth the wrinkles out. Her mother walked in and came up behind her. She began to brush her hair, before tying it in the tight bun required by the manager. Sommer sighed.

“You really miss her, don’t you sweetpea?”

She nodded as tears started rolling down her face. “She is my best friend, Mom. My sister. My cousin, I wish we could have just taken her and ran. We’re good at hiding.”

“I know, sweetheart. I have made so many mistakes, but tonight I will start to fix them. Listen to me closely, tonight there is a family of dragons coming In. They are supposed to be seated in my section.”

Sommer eyed her mother in the mirror. “What are you saying?”

“I’m saying, there’s a family of dragons coming in Take it as you will”

Her mother walked out of the room, leaving Sommer confused. What did she mean? She would never be allowed to go near them, so it didn’t matter, They were watched too closely for her to get a message out. She lifted her skirt to stare at the two inch long scar on her thigh, reminding herself why she should be more careful while figuring out how to get a message to Lukas. If she was struggling like this in her pack, she couldn’t even begin to imagine what was happening to Lily.

She sighed, resigned to her fate. She was so tired of everything, but she knew she would die to save Lily, so she had to keep pressing on. Her mother and her were forced to live in the pack house. She hated it. She desperately needed to get a warning to him. He needed to know that Lily’s father was manipulating her and him both. She needed to convince him to go save her, before something fatal happened to her. She sighed again. It was time to go. She could think of another plan later and she would

She met her mother in the foyer and their guards held up the tracker necklaces that they were forced to wear outside of the pack house. Once connected around their necks, only the keys would get them off. The guard purposely choked her a little, grinning. She glared at him. He patted her ass as she walked by. She growled. They took every chance they got to feel her up, but they knew that she would never mate with them. She was a slut before, but now she had her mate and she was only a whore for him.

“Hands off, fucker! I have a mate!,” she sneered, slapping at his still wandering hands.

She grabbed her mother’s hand and dragged her out of the pack house. They power walked to the restaurant half a mile away. They entered and clocked in. They went to their own sections and immediately immersed themselves in being the perfect waitresses. She was on the way to the kitchen when her mother tripped and dumped a tray full of boiling soup on the only other waitress on duty that night. Her mother cried out and fell to the ground, cradling her leg.

“Oh, Goddess. That hurts. Kels, are you alright?”

“No! I’m burned. I need to go to the pack hospital now, thanks!”

“I’ll take you. Sommer, can you handle everyone for an hour?”

Sommer nodded. “Yeah, I think I can.”

Her mother helped Kelly up and gave Sommer a hug.

“Table two is the dragons. Just thought I’d let you know.‘

Her eyes widened as it finally clicked into place what her mother was doing. Thanks, Mom,”

She helped Kelly out and Sommer quickly dropped her orders off. She turned around and bee lined straight for table two where two adults and a teenage boy sat, laughing and chatting. She smiled at them.

“Good evening, my name is Summer and I will be your waitress tonight, Can I start

off with some drinks?”

The woman smiled at her and Sommer gasped excitedly. The woman raised her eyebrow.

“Do I know you?,” she asked curiously,

“No, you just remind me of someone that I know,”

“Who’s that?”

“Beta JoAnn.”

The woman laughed. “That’s my sister.”

“Nice! She’s awesome.” Sommer felt eyes on her and she looked up at the manager who was glaring daggers at her. “Anyways, drinks?”

She mindlessly took their orders and dropped it off and got their drinks, before moving on to check on the other four tables in the restaurant at that point in time. She kept a smile on her face as she delivered drinks, entrees and checks. Beta JoAnn’s sister asked for their check and she nodded. She went into the bathroom and quickly scribbled a note. She read it over and grinned.

Tell King Lukas that he needs to go get Lily. She is in danger. Please, save her. Her father abuses her. -5.

She pocketed it and went to the computer to print the check for the dragon family. She slid the note under the check and handed it to the woman, smiling. She walked away and made herself seem busy, cleaning tables close to theirs. The woman flagged her over and she slowly made her way back. She held out the completed check to Sommer and held onto it as Sommer tried to take it back. She looked into her eyes.

“Here’s a tip for you omega: never challenge a king. They will always win, especially with a badass beta on their side.”

She let the check go and stood up. She wiped her mouth with a napkin and nodded at her mate.

“Come, let’s go. Jo just linked. Mom is being omery and she needs my help.””

Sommer hurried away as Star celebrated inside her head.

*SHE’S GONNA TELL JO! NICE JOB, SOM!”

Sommer grinned. Thanks, Star. Now, all we have to do is wait!

Sommer made it a point to stay busy for the rest of her shift to avoid any more suspicion. Her mother got back out of breath and her make up smeared. Sommer raised an eyebrow curiously at her. Her mother gave her a sharp shake of her head and she sighed, knowing that they would talk on the way home. At midnight, her mother walked over and took her arm.

“Man, child, we were busy tonight. Your poor mom’s feet hurt,” she teased,

Sommer rolled her eyes. “Come on, Mom. Let’s go home. I am so tired.

They exited out of the back and Sommer squealed when she saw James waiting for them. She rushed over to throw herself in his arms.

“Baby!”

He kissed her softly. “How was work, my love?”

“It was fantastic.”

He took her hand and began to lead her back to the pack house. “Want to tell me about it?”

“Maybe later. How was

A dragon landed in front of them and james pushed her behind him. It whimpered and started to shift. Sommer’s mouth dropped open, before she darted around James to run up to Lily. She grabbed her and pulled her close as subs left her mouth.

“Oh, my Goddess, Lily! You have a dragon! How fucking cool is what the hell happened?”

Sommer held her at arm’s length, staring at the bruises and torn clothes. She quickly wiggled out of her work skirt so Lily could cover herself.

“Loatie… He he…,” her voice trailed off as she wrapped her arms around her own waist, trembling and looking every hit the lost little girl she was.

Chapter 38

Lily suddenly threw herself at Sommer and hugged her tight, crying hard. Sommer rubbed her back.

“Shh, baby, shh. It’s okay. I got you.”

Her mother took her hand and pushed something cold into her hand. She looked at the object. A key. She met her mother’s eyes, tears springing up-

“How did you get this?”

“I stopped at the pack house and seduced the guard.”

“Mom, they’ll kill you when they find out you helped me escape.”

Her mother cupped her cheek. “I know, sweetheart. I love you.” Sommer hugged her tight. “Go. I was going to let you go tonight anyways, but she’s here now. You belong with her. She needs you and you need her. Go. Be safe.”

Sommer gave her another squeeze. “I love you, too. I’ll come back for you,” she promised, crying.

Her mother pushed her away slightly and helped her undo the tracker. “Go. Hurry.”

Lily shifted back with a lot of moans of pain and gestured to her back. James helped her climb up and he slowly backed away. Lily’s dragon nudged him and tilted her head to her back. Sommer put her hand on Lily’s neck.

“Are y

you sure?

She nodded. James quickly climbed up and wrapped himself around Sommer. Lily took off and the wind whipped through Sommer’s hair, undoing her loosened bun. She threw her arms out, enjoying

the feeling of flying. This was the most amazing feeling in the world. Well, besides her mate and her best friend, of course. Lily flew for hours before descending so fast that she crashed into the ground. Sommer and james were sent flying and she jumped to her feet to rush back over to Lily. She groaned.

“I am so tired. We are almost there. I can’t fly anymore,” Lily whispered.

James picked her up. “It’s ok, Lily. Which way are we going?”

She pointed straight. “Gemma says it’s six miles that way.”

“Alright. I’ll carry you. Try to sleep,” James told her.

Sommer walked beside him having no idea where they were going. She didn’t recognize the area. She could only hope that they were going the right way. They continued to walk until they got to the edge of the forest. They hesitated in the treeline, suspiciously eyeing the castle. She wouldn’t take them to her father’s home, would she? Suddenly, the door was flung open and a figure hurried down the stairs.

“LILY?! WHERE ARE YOU?,” the woman screamed.

Lily roused from her sleep. “Sasha, I’m here,” she called softly.

A man came running behind her as they stepped out of the treeline. He took Lily from James and cradled her to his chest.

“Oh, Lily, baby. We’ve been looking for you,” he told her.

She raised her hand to his face. “Alden….”

They rushed into the castle with her as James and Sommer followed along behind them slowly. Another woman, very similar looking to the first, greeted them in the foyer,

“Come with me, please. I will show you to your room.”

Sommer growled at her. “Where did they take Lily?”

She raised an eyebrow. “Sasha is a healer. They went to tend to her. Now, if you would…”

They followed her to the second floor. She showed them to a room

“This is yours. When Lily is done, I will come get you.”

As soon as they walked through the door, it was shut in their faces. Sommer turned to James.

“Well, fuck.”
