My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Lily sat straight up after jerking awake when she heard yelling from the next room. Her heart pounded and she pulled the blankets up to her chin. She frantically looked around, panicked at the unfamiliar room. She got up to creep closer to the door to try to figure out where she was and what was going on. A crash made her jump.

?! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY MATE?”

“WHERE IS SHE, 10?!

She put her hand on the bathroom door. Lukas. It was Lukas. Her body started to relax and she reached for the doorknob.

“Lily, where are you? Aja is looking for you, Sommer told her through their link.

Lily bared her teeth. Till go home in a minute. I have something to do.”

Sasha’s link opened and she groaned. Aja, good morning.

“WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU?! YOU HAVE BEEN IGNORING MY L

LINKS! WE HAVE BEEN WORRIED!”

“I. I was going to visit Lukas. He’s with jo in the other room and I was going to see him!

*You have five minutes to get to the arena or I am going to punish you. You can see him after this challenge. He needs to be focused.”

She rolled her eyes and twisted the doorknob. She stepped into the bathroom and her mouth dropped open when Ethan stood at the sink in nothing but a towel. He jumped and almost

swallowed his toothbrush. He pulled it out of his mouth.

“Lily..

She spun around flushing. “I’m sorry. I.. why didn’t you lock the door?”

“I did….”

Lily turned the knob again and it came off in her hand. She let it drop, blushing furiously. “I’m sorry. I must’ve…..

She rushed away from the door as to pulled open their door. She went onto the balcony and leapt into the air, trusting Gemma to catch her,

Two minutes, Lilianna! Get here. NOW!!

I’m on my way.”

Lily glanced over her shoulder in time to see Lukas throw Ethan over the balcony railing. Jo grabbed Lukas arm to keep him from diving after her mate. Lily reached for his link.

“Please, don’t hurt him. It’s not his fault. I got too eager to see you and-”

“Are you okay?

“Yes. Sasha wants me to come to the arena. 1-

‘Will you be attending?”

‘Yes. I’m not supposed to tell you, though.”

There was a slight pause. “I thought my dream was a figment of my imagination,‘ he whispered softly.

Lily sighed as she landed in front of a furious Sasha and Aiden. Sommer stood a few feet behind them with the rest of her friends. Lily shifted her weight nervously.

“I’m sorry for worrying you, Aja.”

Sasha pulled her into a hug. Lily hugged her back, struggling to draw in a breath with how tight she was being held. Aiden patted Sasha’s shoulder.

*Baby, she’s turning blue. Let her breathe,” he chuckled.

Chapter 79

Sasha let her go to hold her at arm’s length. “Where were you?”

“I was at the hotel with Jo and Lukas, and..” She blushed, looking away. “To’s mate.”

Sasha narrowed her eyes, “Ethan was there?” Lily nodded. “Oh my Goddess. What did he do?”

“Nothing! I broke the adjoining door and walked in on him in the bathroom. I.. it was my fault…”

Sasha burst out laughing. “The man is so dead. Lukas is going to kill him. Sorry about your gamma, Aidypoo.”

Sasha draped her arm over Lily’s shoulder to guide her to a seat 20 feet up into the stands. They got settled in and were joined by the rest of their family. Aunt Joy paced in front of them and her nervous energy put Lily on edge, too. Papa Slonsky got up to take her in his arms.

“Relax. Sommer has this. I had James renew his mark last night. She can draw on his power, too.”

Lily turned her head to look at James. He looked absolutely terrified. Lily swallowed hard, before she got up to move to his side. He glanced at her. Someone cleared their throat and gentle sparks sent shivers through her. She turned her head to the ground where Lukas, Jo and a very bruised Ethan stood between Sommer and a strange man. Lily sighed. She felt bad for Ethan. He didn’t do anything wrong. She was going to have to talk to Lukas about this. He lifted his arms and everyone fell silent.

“HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE WOLFBANE PACK’S ALPHA CHALLENGE! I AM LUKAS, THE KING OF KINGS. I WILL BE DETERMINING THE WINNER AND ENSURING THE RULES ARE FOLLOWED!” He held up Sommer’s hand. “THE CHALLENGER, SOMMER ARES!” He held up the alpha’s hand. “THE CHALLENGED, CURRENT ALPHA CHET TAYLOR!”

He let both of them go and to came over to them. Lily strained to hear what she was saying. Lukas looked up at her and opened their link.

“There will be no weapons involved. You may start in your wolves, but it is solely up to you. There will be no cheating. Both of you were checked for any substances that would give you an unfair advantage and both of you passed. This is to the death, so fight hard and fair. If you don’t, even if you win, you will be killed. Shake hands and move apart. Let’s get started”

Lily whimpered as Sommer shook the alpha’s hand. She moved to the edge of the arena, bouncing lightly on her feet. James moved to stand at the railing with Aunt Joy and Papa Slonsky. Lily growled when they blocked her view. She got up and quickly climbed onto the ledge. She looked down and saw Lukas watching her.

“Lily, what are you”

She stepped off of it and her body dropped like a brick. Gemma’s wings slowed her descent as Lukas darted over to catch her. She landed before he could get to her and he stopped a few feet

from her, staring at her. Everything faded away as they looked at each other. His eyes moved over her slowly and she saw Gideon push forward. His eyes came up to meet hers again.

“Lukas,” she murmured.

He opened his mouth, before closing it again. He hesitantly held out his hand to her. She shook her head and threw herself at him. Her arms went around his chest to his back and she leaned against him. His arm wrapped around her waist and he buried his face in her hair.

‘Lily, Goddess I have missed you,‘ he linked her.

The sound of a bell dinging made her pull away to turn back to the arena. Sommer was moving towards the alpha and Lily’s body trembled. Lukas stepped up next to her, not touching her as he watched the start of the fight, too. The alpha shifted as he lunged towards Sommer. Lily whimpered and Look Lukas” hand. She leaned out in an attempt to see more as Sommer shifted, too. Star had gotten bigger and more muscular. Her dark grey fur shone under the sun. She darted around the alpha and he turned to chase her.

She back flipped over him and grabbed his tail. She jerked her head to the left and the alpha was flung into a wall. Star sprinted over to him to dive for his throat, but he rolled and used his feet to kick her off of him. His claws tore at her stomach, leaving deep gashes and Lily had to bite back a scream. Lukas let her hand go to pull her back into his arms. The alpha grabbed a hold of the back of her neck and began to shake his head.

Star failed for a second, before she shifted back. Sommer went with the shake, pushing it further as she twisted and pulled back. The alpha’s teeth were dislodged from Sommer’s smaller neck and some of her hair was ripped from her head. She backed away as he stalked her across the arena. Lily tensed and she clung to Lukas hand for comfort. Sommer stopped fleeing and smirked at the alpha. Ile lunged for her again and she shifted back to roll and pin him to the ground. She growled in his face, before shifting back to snap his neck.

Lukas let her go to approach Sommer. Lily tried to follow him to get to her cousin who had collapsed, bleeding from the multiple wounds on her stomach, but jo stopped her. Lukas checked the recently shifted alpha’s neck, before helping Sommer to her feet. Sommer held her arm across her stomach, wincing when he lifted her hand up into the air again.

Everyone else in the stands bowed to her and to let Lily go. She rushed out onto the field to check Sommer out. She wrapped an arm around her and began to lead her off. They had just made it to the tunnels leading out of the arena when Sommer’s knees gave out. Lily looked up at Lukas terrified that Sommer was about to die.

“Sasha is going to meet us, Lils. She’s on her way down now.”

Sommer reached for Lily. “I need blood. Get me blood.”

Lily’s heart beat faster and she brought her wrist to her mouth. She bit into it, before holding it out to Sommer. Lukas grabbed her wrist.

“Lily, you are a dragon. She is a wolf. Giving her blood will affect her aura.”

“How?,” she asked as Sommer paled more.

“She will be stronger, unmatchable for any other woll. Only do this if you fully trust her,” he cautioned..

Lily pulled her wrist away again to tear it open again. Sommer hesitated, before taking it to lick at the blood, before taking bigger swallows. She kept drinking from Lily until she swooned and Lukas had to catch her. Sasha clucked her tongue, shaking her head.

“You have done too much, Lily. James get Sommer. Let’s get them somewhere they can lie down.”

rry her off to sleep.

She snuggled into Lukas‘ chest and let the sparks carry
