Chapter 27: To Stay Or To Leave?
She lifted her hand to touch his face and he turned his head to kiss her palm as he walked out of the arena. The gamma fell into step by his side.
“Your Majesty, I am so sor-
He smiled down at Lily. “Don’t worry about it. You served your purpose. Do you have a house nearby? I think this little one needs to be checked out.”
She dropped her hand, frowning. He bounced her a little and winked. She let out a big sigh and gripped her head.
“Oh, my head.”
He burst out laughing. The gamma looked at them.
“Sire, we can’t just take a child away from her chaperone. Her parents are royalty from another-”
He stopped to turn to face the gamma. “Well, her mate is of higher royalty, so do you have a home nearby or not?”
“I ummm… yeah. Turn right here.”
The gamma guided him to a small, cozy cottage about a quarter mile away. Lily nuzzled into his chest and played with his sleeve. He did his best to keep Gideon in line while all he wanted to do himself was take her away from all of this and hide her in his castle.
“We have a lot of closets. They would never find her, Gideon whispered in his head.
The gamma led him to the spare room and he put Lily on the bed, before sitting next to her. He stared at her and she stared right back at him. Goddess, he never wanted to leave her side. He forced himself to look away, clearing his throat.
“Lily, there’s something I need you to know.”
She sighed and pulled her legs up to rest her chin on her knees. “You don’t like me anymore, do you? I wouldn’t blame you, I don’t like me much anymore either.”
His mouth dropped open. He took her hand and pulled her onto his lap. “Lils, listen to me. We’re in this mess, because I let your father convince me to stay away from you. He had me promise to let you grow up. I should have taken you away and let you grow up safe at my castle. This is all my fault.” He tilted her chin up to look into her eyes. “You are my mate and I love you. These past few years have almost killed me, trying to stay away from you You are mine, Lils. Nobody else can lay claim to you.”
She looked away. “I don’t want to be a breeder,”
He laughed. “A breeder? That’s what you’re worried about?” She nodded. “Sweetheart, I don’t need a breeder. I need a queen. I need my queen and that’s you. Everybody will bow to you, your parents included.”
She looked up at him sadly. “I don’t know why I was so mean to you. It was like I was there and I could see and hear everything that I was saying to you, but I couldn’t stop it and then there was this man… Tears welled up and she looked away again. “There were sparks,” she whispered.
He ran his fingers down her face and her eyes closed. “Sparks like these, Lily?”
She shook her head. “No. Only your Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Only your sparks are that strong.
“Look at me, baby.” He waited until she looked into his eyes, before pressing his forehead against hers. “You have been under spells. There is a witch named Guriel who is working with a vampire to control you and try to break our bond. We know who he is and we are working on taking him out. It’s been a slow process, because the spell he used could hurt you or even kill you.”
She raised her hand to his face. “So, you’re not mad at me?”
He kissed her fingertips. “No, sweetheart. I’m mad at the witch and at the vampire. I’m mad at your parents and everyone else that is hurting you. I only want to protect you. That is my sole purpose in life.”
She pulled away to study his face. “I heard you on the phone with Cadence.”
His heart stopped and anguish filled him. “That wasn’t me. I came to my office one day and she was in there with a boy. Before I killed him, he told me she had been trying to make it seem like we were being intimate. The last call that came through was to your father’s office. I tried to call back and your father made it seem like you were rejecting me.” His grip tightened on her as he thought back to that day. He pulled her against his chest and stroked her back. “That’s why I showed up that day. It crushed me when you said you hated me.”
“I am sorry. I was so hurt.”
He kissed the top of her head. “It’s okay, angel. I understand.”
There was a knock on the door, before it was pushed open.
“Excuse me, Your Majesty. Her chaperone is here. She would like to make sure Lilianna is okay.”
Lukas looked down at Lily. “Who’s your chaperone?”
“Mrs. Romanas.”
“She can come in.”
Her teacher came in and took one look at Lily on his lap, before bowing slightly.
“Your Majesty, will you be taking Lily away with you tonight?”
He tucked her hair behind her hair. “If she will let me.”
Lily bit her lip. “I want to…”
He sighed. “But?”
“There’s
‘s something I need to do before I can leave.”
“What is it, Lily? I can go with you and make sure you are safe while you do it.”
She smiled and shook her head. “No. This I want to do by myself. She’s mine.”
He growled a little. “How long do you need?”
“Four hours after I get home.”
“Done. I will be just outside and give you four hours and then I will be coming for you. If you need me all you have to do is scream my name and I will be there.”
She nuzzled into his chest. “Okay.”
Lukas looked up at the teacher. “What is the agenda for tonight?”
“Well, tonight Lily will be reading her essay first, since she won the overall competition and not just for our school. Then if you want, you can take her for dinner. I will also have the hotel give her her
own room, so you can stay with her while we are here, if you would like.” He swallowed hard. He knew what he wanted. If he seemed to eager it could scare her away, but he wasn’t sure if she would agree-
“Lukas, I want you to stay with me.” She took a deep breath and looked up at him, shyly. “Will you?”
His eyes drifted close. “Lily…”
“Please?”
He shifted her on his lap so that she was straddling him. He laid back on the bed with his arms crossed behind his head.
“How could a king say no when his queen asks for something?” She giggled. His hands moved up her thighs to her hips. “What kind of pajamas did you bring?”
“A nightgown.”

He groaned. “Alright, after your essay thing, I will take you shopping.”
“Why?”
He chuckled. “How old are you now? 13 going on 207” he teased.
She swatted at his chest. “I’m almost 14.”
“Exactly why you need pants to wear to bed.”
“But I like my nightgown,” she argued, pouting.
He rolled her over and leaned down until her breath hit his lips. “If you wear a nightgown to bed, I can’t guarantee that while I’m asleep, Gideon will not make love to you.”
Her eyes widened, before she blushed. “1-1… we should go shopping.” she squeaked.
He chuckled and pecked her lips. “I thought so.”
He rolled off of her and gently pushed her towards the gamma. “Take her to the living room and do not let anyone take her. I will take her to the reading. If that’s okay, Romanas?” he asked to lessen the potential to scare his fragile mate.
Her teacher nodded and walked out with the gamma and Lily, Lukas hurried to the bathroom.
‘Fuck, Lily. The things you aren’t ready to know about what you do to me.”
