My Not Yet Mate

Casey

She took the last set of papers from her brother. She grinned up at him. He had buried himself in his work the last 6 months, since Lily had cut him off again. She walked over to the fax machine to send the approved budget to the Lotus Clan. She hummed to herself as she watched the papers enter and then exit the machine one by one.

“Why are you so happy, Case? Care to share?

She glanced over her shoulder at him. “After we’re done here, Dad is sending me to Dragão.”

He bared his teeth at her. “Why?

She smirked at him. “To see Lily of course.”

“Fuck this,” he roared. “Why in the hell is she seeing you, but not even talking to me?”

She shrugged. ‘She’s been busy, Luka.”

He crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m her mate. She should never be too busy to want to spend time with me. She takes Lucy all the time, so she can spare five minutes to link me or call”

She burst out laughing. “You sound jealous, brother,” she teased.

He glared at her. “Because I am. What are you two doing?”

The door opened and Jo breezed in. The five of us are going shopping. No boys allowed.”

Lukas rolled his eyes. “I still remember when you were one of the boys, Jojo.”

“You’re just mad, because 1 get to see our queen, dick,

Lukas picked up his computer and threw it across the room. It went through the window and the glass exploded, sending shards everywhere. He jumped up and reached for jo as his hand shifted. She easily danced out of his reach.

“Keep it up, you big galoot, and I won’t bring you back a piece of her dirty clothing to sniff at night like a fucking weirdo.”

He flipped her off and stormed out of the room. Casey looked at jo with her eyebrow raised.

“He’s gotten bad.”

Jo nodded. “I wish Lily would quit giving him an inch and then knocking him off of earth.”

Casey giggled. “He won’t be mad too much longer.”

to dashed across the office to put her hand over Casey’s mouth. She tilted her head, straining to hear if anybody was standing outside the office. She slowly lowered her hand and narrowed her eyes at Casey.

“Be quiet! Lily wants this to be a surprise. Are you stupid, Case?,” she lectured through their link.

‘Sorry, Jo.”

“Let’s go,” Jo said out loud.

Casey skipped happily beside lo as she left the office to go down to the foyer where Lukas stood talking with her father. He turned to glare at them.

“I absolutely loathe this shit,” Lukas growled.

Jo patted his cheek and he snapped at her hand. She pulled back, frowning,

*I’m gonna bring you a damn sock, asshole.”

He grabbed her around the throat and pulled her closer. “You better fucking not, if you know what’s good for Ethan.”

He let her go and she rubbed her throat. “My, my, my, someone’s sensitive.”

He growled and Jo ran through the portal that was opened. Casey shook her head, grinning as she hugged her brother.

“Stop trying to kill your beta, Luka, or I’m telling Lily you’re being an ass

“Do it. Maybe she’ll come just to fight me.”

Casey laughed as she stepped into the portal herself. She was pulled forward and spit out on Dragao land. The portal closed behind her and she looked at Lily.

“He wants you to come fight him.”

A look of confusion crossed her face. “Why?”

“Because he’s at the point of wanting any type of interaction from you, even if it’s you coming to fight.”

Lily sighed and rolled her shoulders back. “I only have two more weeks of summer school. He’s made it this long. Two more weeks isn’t

Jo laughed. “No, but it might kill me.”

Casey shoved her. “Well, if you quit intentionally irritating him, you might survive.”

Jo rubbed her arm. “But it’s so easy,” she whined.

Lily burst

t out laughing. “Come on, let’s go shop. I need to find the perfect dress and hope that this time nobody breaks my shoes.”

“Who broke your shoes?”

“Well, Kalani did once and so did Lukas, I am starting to think I should just give up on having nice shoes.”

Kalani laughed. “Well, learn how to use your feet and we won’t have to destroy your shoes.”

kill him”

Everyone laughed as they started walking down the driveway towards the shops about half a mile away. Lily chatted excitedly about her success in getting extra credits and how ready she was to find out if she would pass her junior classes. Lily moved towards Casey to link her arm through hers and Casey stopped. Lily was forced to stop next to her and Casey leaned towards her to sniff her. She closed her eyes as the scent of damp soil made her almost drool. Lily looked at her curiously.

“Who were you with?,” she asked Lily.

“My friends. Why?”

Casey leaned towards her again to sniff some more. “You smell amazing.”

Lily pulled away from her. “Stop smelling me. It’s weird.”

“Lily, who-”

“Nobody, Can we just shop?”

Casey growled at her and turned around. She started heading back to the castle while the others stared after her.

“Casey, where are you going?”

“I’M GOING HOME! I’LL FIND MY OWN FUCKING DRESS!”

She took off running and only stopped when she got back to the castle. She stormed inside and went up the two flights of stairs to throw open Joy’s door without bothering to knock. She crossed her arms over her chest.

“Send me home.”

Her father looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she mumbled. “Lily pissed me off and I want to go home,”

He came over to her. “What happened?”

“Nothing. Just.. please, I want to go home.”

Papa Sterling came over to hug her. “If you don’t want to shop, do you want to hang here with us? We are working on a present for Joy.”

“No, Papa Sterling, I just want to go home.”

Her father opened a portal and she went through. It closed behind her and she went up the stairs to go inside. Lukas came out of the living room.

“Case, you’re back. Are you okay?

“Your mate’s a bitch,” she sobbed as she threw herself at her brother.

He patted her on the back. “What happened, little one?”

“She smelled like my mate and she wouldn’t tell me who it was. She just said she was with her friends,” she sniffled. “Just because she can stay away from you, doesn’t mean I want to stay away from mine.” He tensed and she cursed silently. “I’m sorry, Luka. I’m just upset. She loves you. I know she docs.”

He squeezed her tight. “It’s okay. I get it.”

She wiped her face. “I don’t want to be here for

“I need a break.”

sighed. “Alright, Case. I will arrange a vacation for you.”

“Thank you.”

“Go rest. I’ll check out her friends and see who she was with. We’ll find your mate.”

She hugged him again, before going up to her room. She threw herself on her bed.

‘Why

Why didn’t you tell him that Lily was coming and that was why you didn’t want to go?,” Jenna asked angrily, pacing. “She would have deserved it. keeping our mate from us.”

Casey buried her face in her pillows. Because, Jen, she is still my best friend. I need to calm down, before I tell her that she smells like our mate. I don’t know why I got so angry.”

“Because she was close to our mate and we should be the only one close to them,” she snapped.

Casey bit her lip. “We will be. She’s too in love with Lukas to do anything with anybody else.”

“She better be Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Casey groaned. They needed to find their mate, before she ended up just like Lukas, throwing computers out of windows and trying to choke family.
