Chapter 92: Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Lukas held out his hand to her. “Lily, sweetheart-”

She shifted her hand and held it between them, “Don’t come near me or I will rip your throat out,” she warned.

He sighed. “Lily, he’s not-”

“SHUT

I UP! YOU’RE LYING! YOU’VE ALWAYS LIED TO ME!”

Sadness flickered across his face, but he hacked away. Sasha and Kalani came running in with their mates behind them, Kalani immediately came over to hug Lily and started pushing calmness and peace through her while Sasha glared at Lukas.

“What the hell, Laikas? I thought you were going to tell her.”

Lily pulled away from Kalani to stare at Sasha, before she bent over and vomited all over the floor.

“You knew?” Her eyes moved slowly over everyone in the room. “You all knew.”

Jo and Ethan appeared in the doorway. “FUCK!,” lo said as she took in the scene in the meeting room.

Lily’s eyes went to her daughter in Jo’s arms. Her heart pounded harder and she ceased to hear or see anything except her little girl so close to that

monster.

“Bring me my daughter. NOW! RIGHT NOW!”

Jo’s body jerked and she was forced to walk across the room to place Lucy gently in Lily’s arms, before kneeling at her feet. Lily moved back and turned to look at Lukas, who was watching her silently. The feeling of betrayal worsened, knowing that he had her daughter around the man that had raped her and held her hostage.

“How could you?,” she asked. She looked down at Lucy. “I thought you loved us.”

“Lily, please, listen to me. I know what you’re thinking. This is Lu-”

“GODDESS!,” Lily cried out.

She knew everyone would think she was just cursing in frustration, but she knew she was calling out to her to come save her. She couldn’t be here with these people. She couldn’t believe that she had trusted them and they had all lied to her. The air wavered in front of her and the Goddess appeared.

“Lily? You called?”

Before anybody could even breathe, Lukas darted between her and the Goddess with his arms out.

“You can’t take her! She is mine.”

The Goddess narrowed her eyes. “That is where you are mistaken, my son. I could take her and you would never find her.”

He turned around to face Lily, “Baby, please. Listen to me. He

A tear ran down her face and she hugged Lucy tighter. “I want to leave.”

“What’s wrong. Lily?, the Goddess asked.

She pointed behind her and the Goddess turned around, realization dawning on her face. She stepped through Lukas, who growled, to take Lily in her

“They never told you about him, did they?”

She shook her head. “I thought I killed him,” she repeated bitterly.

“He never crossed over the death plane, but Guriel did. You knew him as Loatie. The Goddess wiped her tears away. “This is Lucian and he never crossed over. His son, Guriel, or Loatie if you will, did,” she repeated.

“His son?” Lily looked at the man in question. That’s not..” Her face paled and she sank to the Boor, clutching Lucy. “That means.. that means he’s Lucy’s grandfather.”

The Goddess nodded as she knelt in front of Lily. “Loatie kept him hostage until Jo found him. He has been reliable and an ally to your kingdom since then. He looked for you by Lukas side,”

She laid her cheek on Lucy’s forehead. “Does he know her?” She looked at Lukas. “Well?”

He shook his head. “He knows about her, but has never met her. I knew how you would feel and I wanted you to meet him first, before he was allowed. around our daughter. I do love you, Lily. I would never do something like that to you. I didn’t know you were coming to the meeting and when you got here, I became so focused on spending time with you, everything else slipped my mind.”

She looked away from him. “Have you ever cheated on me?”

The air grew more tense and her heart shattered more when he didn’t immediately respond. Her eyes went back to him.

“For the only woman fit to be my mate, my wife and my queen, I will love you for eternity, remember? You’re the only one I will ever want, Lily.”

“That’s not a no,” she whispered as she turned to look at the Goddess. “Has he?”

She smiled. “No, he h

hasn’t. He’s been faithful since he met you.”

Lily swallowed. “I’m sorry.”

Lukas approached her slowly, before he knelt beside the Goddess in front of her. He cupped her face.

“You have nothing to apologize for. I should have told you. This is not how you should have found out. I’m the one that’s sorry.”

She leaned forward to press her forehead against his. “I should have listened to you.”

He grinned at her. “Yeah, but I understand why you didn’t. You can make it up to me.

Her eyes widened and her mouth opened. He pecked her lips.

“Not like that.”

“Oh. What do

you

want then?”

“Our day has been shitty. Stay another night and let’s be happy. I’ll take you home tomorrow,”

She touched his cheek, nodding. “Alright. I have school at 7:30,”

“That’s fine. I’ll make sure you get there in time.”

He stood up and reached down to help her up. The Goddess smiled at them. “I always knew you two were the perfect couple. Do you need me for anything else, my daughter?”

Lily leaned against Lukas. “No. I have everything I need right here.”

Lukas beamed at her. “And you’re everything I need, too.”

The Goddess nodded and disappeared in a small, barely noticeable cloud of smoke. Lily buried her face into Lukas’s chest, cradling their daughter between them. He held her until her anxiety had ebbed and she was able to start to relax against him. She looked around the rooms.

“I’m sorry, guys. I just.. panicked.”

They all gave her sympathetic looks. “It’s ok. Are you okay now?”

She nodded. “Yeah.”

Everyone cleared out of the room except for Lukas and Lucian. Lily looked down at Lucy.

“I didn’t know about him. I didn’t name her after him.”

Chapter 94

Lukas took her hand and kissed it. “I know why you named her Lucianna, Lily, and I promise that when you are ready, we will try to have a baby. I grew up alone and so did you. I don’t want Lucy to have to, too.”

She melted against him. “I don’t know why it still amazes me that you are perfect. I should be used to it by now.”

He chuckled. “Well, I guess I will have to try to keep up with your high standards for me for eternity,” he teased.

Lily eyed a nervous Lucian. She pulled away from Lukas to cross the room to him. She looked up into his face.

“I’m Lily.”

He nodded, swallowing “I’m Lucian

“This is Lucianna, your granddaughter,” she said, tilting her daughter a little so he could see her.

“She is beautiful, just like her mother.”

Lily smiled. “Thank you. Would you like to hold her?”

He glanced over her shoulder at Lukas who moved up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. Lucian held his arms out and Lily hesitantly put her daughter in them. She watched him bring her to his chest as he looked down at her. Lucy reached her chubby arm up to lightly punch him in the jaw. He smiled and Lucy giggled. Lily’s chest constricted and Lukas leaned down to press his chest against her back. He took her hand and placed it over her heart with his fingers linked through hers.

“Deep breaths, baby, like mine. In and out, he whispered in her mind. “I got you. I have always had you. In and out. That’s a good girl.”

She relaxed back against him. “I love you, Lukas.”

He kissed her neck. And I love you, my queen.‘ He turned her around to tip her face up. ‘My queen. The only woman that has ever and will ever have my utter devotion and loyalty. He lowered his head to kiss her. That is the only claim I will ever lay on you, Lily. My queen, my mate, the mother of my children and eventually my wife. Just like I will be your king, your mate, the father of your children, all of them, and your future husband. You own me as equally as I have you. That will never change.

She didn’t know what to say. She never did. Every single time he spoke to her, he took her breath away. He had proven himself true time after time. She leaned against him more.

“Do you trust him with our daughter?,” she asked.

“I do”

She took a deep breath. Then I trust him, too.”

To prove that point, she turned back around. “Lucian?” He met her eyes. “Would you like to spend a few hours with Lucy?”

“Can 17”

“Yes, but don’t leave the castle.”

He grinned. “Okay. I will take Jo with me.”

Lily relaxed further. She knew Jo wouldn’t let anything happen to Lucy. “Okay. Cool.”

Lucian ran off to find jo and Lily shut the door behind him. She crossed hock to Lukas and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“What do you want to do?,” he inquired.

She pushed him back into a chair, before she wiggled out of her pants and bent over the table in front of him.

“I want you to finish reminding me why I’m your one and only and why y

you’re mine.”
