My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 77

Lily

he blankets up over her face to hide her tears. The bed

The door to her room bounced open and her aunt and both of her fathers came in. She pulled the blankets dipped under someone’s weight and a hand was placed on her hip.

“Lily, honey, what happened?” She scooted across the bed away from Papa Slonsky. “Sweetie, everybody knows that something happened between you

She stiffened and lowered the blankets from around her head. “Is… is he okay?”

Aunt Joy glanced at the other two. “He’s not doing very well, right now either, jo said that he has been drunk and violent. What happened?”

“Nothing. I swear. I didn’t..,” she started denying before her voice trailed off, “I messed up. I did something I shouldn’t have done. He begged me not to, but I forced him to do it. He hates me.”

Her father rubbed her back. “Sweetie, listen to me. He loves you very much. Anything that happened can be fixed. If you feel like you messed up, apologize and tell him that you won’t ever do it again.”

She sniffled and wiped her nose on her blanket. “I made him be rough.”

She buried her face in her knees and Joy crawled up beside her.

“Baby, it’s okay. I’m sure you have your reasons. Lukas never striked me as a bad guy. I’m sure that he didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Lily screamed out, trying to release some emotions, so she could breathe. “But he could if he wanted to. How can I be with someone like that?”

“For fuck’s sake, Lily! Is this what’s been eating you?” Lily looked up in time to see Sommer storm across the room. She grabbed her arm and shook her as Joy backed away. “You made him do that. That man has never been mean to you. He has only ever wanted to protect you. There is nothing in him that would hurt you.”

Sommer dragged her out of bed and showed her into the bath

bathroom. She slammed the door behind them, before glaring at Lily.

“Get it together. You are better than this. Shower. You stink. Get dressed. You have shit to do. Your friends will be here in a little bit. I arranged for them to go to dinner with us before I leave.”

Lily stared at her. “But-”

Sommer reared back and slapped her. “GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! GROW UP! YOU HAVE A KID! YOU CAN’T GET MAD AT SOMEONE OVER

SOMETHING YOU DID!”

Lily raised her hand to touch her stinging cheek. “You hit me…

Sommer blinked and took a step back. “I’m sorry. I.

Lily’s back straightened. “YOU FUCKING HIT ME!“

“KEEP U

UP THIS STUPID SHIT

IT AND I’LL DO IT AGAIN!”

Lily stared at her while Sommer panted.

“Why did you hit me?”

Sommer sighed. “I talked to Lukas.”

Lily glared at her. “Why?”

“Because I asked if I

if I could borrow fo for a few days and he sounded as bad as you do. He is hurting, Lily, and this is not fair to either of you. You were making so much progress and you let Loatie get back in your head. You let your father get back in your head. You let all of those assholes get into your head. Lukas would never hurt you. He would die before he did.”

Lily lowered her head. “I know.” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sommer walked over to her to hug her tightly. “Listen, Lily, why don’t you come out with us tonight and tomorrow give him a call. Tell him you’re sorry and that you had a mental relapse. Ask for his forgiveness.” She touched Lily’s cheek. “He will forgive you. Now, get ready to go. We are going to my old

restaurant.”

Lily’s eyes widened. “That’s far.”

Sommer nodded. “You have been in bed crying for a week. Five days ago, mom finally told me what they did to her. She didn’t have a choice. She had a night terror and tried to maul Papa Sterling.”

Lily’s eyes widened. “Is he okay?”

Sommer laughed. “Yeah, Magdon healed him and helped him knock her out safely. Papa Slonsky sped up the process. That’s why I have to leave. 1 am going back and I am going to challenge the alpha for his position. He needs to pay for what he did to her.”

“Sommer, you.. you could die.”

Sommer smiled, “I will win. He will die and I will be the new alpha. Also,

let’s b

not forget, my father was a beta. I’m not exactly weak.”

Lily hugged her again. “Are you challenging him tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“I want to be there.”

“Lukas will be

there.

Lily’s heart pounded. “Lukas will be there? Why?”

“Because he’s the king of kings. He has to declare the winner for it be official.”

Sommer pushed her towards the shower. “Go shower, so we

we can go.”

Lily turned the water on as Sommer left the room. Gemma pushed forward.

“Are we going to the challenge?,” she asked.

“Lukas will

there.‘

“I heard. Are we going?

‘I don’t know. I don’t know if I’m ready to see him.”

Gemma growled at her. “Stop punishing him. We need him.”

“I know, but I’m scared.”

“You scared yourself.” She pushed his face when she auraed him to the front of Lily’s mind. “Look. This is not the face of a man that wanted to do that to you.”

Lily sighed. I know.”

She poured shampoo onto her hand, before putting it into her hair. She reached for the link she shared with Lukas. It was held firmly closed. She sighed and gave up

“He hates us.”

“He’s upset. Just like you need time to calm down, so does he and that’s why we need to be there to talk to him.”

“We’ll see.”

She quickly dried off and got dressed. She walked out of the bathroom to find Sommer talking quietly to her mother while their fathers watched from the couch. Sommer immediately walked towards her.

“How are you feeling?”

“I tried to link him.” She sighed. “He ignored me.”

Sommer patted her shoulder. “He’s upset. He’ll get over it. Are you ready?”

“Sure. What time is it?”

“It’s 3. It’ll take us a few hours to get there.”

Lily looked at Papa Slonsky. “Can you send us?”

He nodded. “I can.”

“I promised them that I would do a painting. It’ll help me relax.”

The doorbell rang and a minute later the door was thrown open. Lily looked at her friends who were all grinning in excitement. They rushed over to hug her.

“Guys, where’s Kenny?”

Light laughed. “He got grounded. He snuck a boy in his window while his girlfriend was there. He’s in big trouble.”

Lily smiled. “Typical. Want me to start our painting?”

“Sure.”

Lily led them down the hallway to her art studio. They let her position them and she set up her easel with a canvas. She reached for her paints and paused. She sighed and reached for their link again.

A tear crept out of her eye when he held it firmly closed.

“He doesn’t want us, Gem.”

“Stop that. He does. Just paint and relax. I’ll keep trying. Maybe Gideon will let us in.

Lily set up her palette and began to paint her friends. She painted until the sun started to descend in the sky. The door opened and Papa Slonsky entered, followed by Sasha. They came over and Lily showed them her painting, Sasha hugged her.

“I’m glad to see you up and about. Try to enjoy your night, Lily. Javier will be there. We have already arranged for him to send you guys back.”

She nodded. “Thank you. I’m sorry I made him mad.”

Sasha patted her back. “It’s ok. Go enjoy your night.

1. ht. We’ll 6

what to d

to do tomorrow.”

“I love you, Aja.”

“I love you, too, Lily. Now, go. They are waiting for you.”
