My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 82

Lily’s alarm went off at 5 AM the next morning. She yawned and stretched after hitting the off button so hard the alarm clock cracked. She got out of bed and began to get ready. She quickly showered, tied her hair up and put her tennis shoes on. She slipped out of her room, keeping to the shadows of the hallway. She stopped at the end of the hallway to peek around the corner.

When neither Aiden nor Sasha were there, she jogged out of the castle, heading towards the training grounds where she knew Ethan would be training the new warriors. She fell into step behind four men who were talking excitedly about the day’s activities. She sent up a silent prayer to the Goddess, thanking her for the men’s lack of awareness of their surroundings. She didn’t want to get busted until she made it to the field and aura’d Ethan to make sure he let her participate. The men lined up and she hid behind one as she watched Ethan and Jo walk onto the field. The man in front of her stepped forward.

“Excuse me, Beta JoAnn and Gamma Ethan, Princess Lilianna has been following us since we passed the castle. She is here.”

Lily groaned as she gave them a radiant smile. “Good morning, Jo, Ethan. I was wondering if I could join you guys for training.”

Jo rolled her eyes, before pointing to the end of the line. “Right there, Lily, and try not to make me kill the Dragão warriors, alright?”

Lily skipped to where she pointed, happy that she didn’t have to aura them. Ethan shook his head, grinning. He began to pair the men up as Jo walked over to Lily. She led her a few yards away from everyone else. She eyed her.

“What are you up to, Lily?” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She glanced around at the other pairs as Ethan began to show them how to block and punch. Lily smiled at her.

“I saw Lukas execute people.”

Jo tilted her head, studying Lily’s face. “And? How do you feel?”

Lily took a defensive stance, raising her fists up. “Like I really need this gym credit, so I can graduate and go home to my mate.”

Jo grinned and started swinging at her. Lily blocked her punches and danced around their small area, avoiding Jo’s ever quickening attempted attacks. She started throwing a few kicks towards Jo and gave a shout of victory when one hit her in the chest. Jo hit the ground with a thud and immediately rolled, kicking out at Lily’s legs.

Lily tried to jump to avoid the blow, but Jo’s kick made her left leg buckle and she hit the ground, panting next to the beta. Jo rolled over on top of her and sent her fist flying down at Lily’s face. Lily moved her head at the last second and weaved her legs through Jo’s. Her fist flew upward to hit Jo in the middle of her chest and she groaned when she felt her hand break. She pulled it back again to send another blow up at her when Jo shifted over top of her.

Lily scrambled out from under her huge dragon and eyed her curiously. She snapped at Lily and Gemma took over, but remained human. She came down to snap at Lily again. Lily grabbed a hold of a fang and used it fling herself up onto her large head. She slid down Isla’s back as she tried to snatch Lily off of her back. She rolled to avoid the teeth coming rapidly towards her face. She started falling off Isla’s side and she dug her fingers between two of her scales to stop herself.

She jumped back up and immediately had to launch herself over Isla’s head. She started running down her back, before being forced to slide, narrowly escaping from being Isla’s next meal. She got to her tail and Isla flicked it up, making Lily fly into the air.

She let out a little scream and grabbed ahold of her tail as it smacked her in the face. She wrapped her body around Isla’s tail and used it to start inching her way to the spot she knew would take her down. Isla began to whip her tail back and forth as she nipped at Lily’s body. When she was a few feet from the scale she needed, she let go and was flung into the air. Isla’s tail moved and Lily grabbed it again, landing a few inches from the spot she was aiming for. She let herself drop to the underside of it, so she could dig her fingers under the scale.

Isla hit the ground with an earth shaking thud and Lily instantly regretted her decision to still be clinging to her tail when Isla went down. Gemma let them shift and crawled out from under the beta. She collapsed on the ground, groaning and gasping for air as she shifted back. Ethan sprinted over to breath his fire onto Isla and she woke up, shaking her head. She shifted back and Jo sat next to Lily, glaring at her.

“You were supposed to shift,” she grumbled.

Lily shrugged, smirking. “Guess there’s a reason I’m the queen of queens and you’re the beta.” She pulled the folded up gym requirement paper out of her pocket. She held it out to Jo. “Let me train with you guys. I know you were testing me. I can do this. Please.”

Jo snatched the paper from her hands and signed it. She handed it back and got off the ground. She dusted her pants off. “Go home, Lily. That’s enough for today. Same time tomorrow and I won’t go so easy on you.”

Lily did a happy dance as she got up. She hugged Jo and then Ethan. “Thank you so much! Please, don’t tell Lukas. I want it to be a surprise.”

Jo waved her hand towards the castle. “Go on, now. Let me get my street cred back. I gotta go whoop all the recruit’s asses to even have a chance at it,” she growled as she walked away from them.

Ethan chuckled as he watched her call the recruits into a circle. She had one of them step into the middle. Ethan turned towards Lily.

“I’m glad you are here, Lily. This is just one more thing that will help you. When we’re done with you, nobody will stand a chance against you.”

Lily gave him another quick hug. “That’s kind of the point.”

She pocketed her paper and turned back to the castle. She walked slowly back to it, thinking about everything she had to do. She was going to be exhausted and really stretching herself thin, but it would be worth it to be home with Lukas and Lucy. She rolled her shoulders back. She could sleep when she was dead.
