My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 54

Did he? This wasn’t really his Lily, but would it be wrong to give in for once and make love to her? As he pondered what to do, he allowed her to ng him deeper into the field. She sprawled on the ground and began to undo the buttons on the front of her dress. He knelt beside her, keeping his eyes on hers. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Lily” he whispered, reaching out to touch her face.

She smiled up at him. “Takas”

He held the sides of her dress together, shaking his head, “I’m sorry, Luis, but I can’t.”

She frowned at him. “Why not? We’re mates. This is what we do.”

He sighed and sat back on his heels. “Because you’re not my Lily. You are just the Lily that I thought I wanted. A teaser of the life I thought we would have.”

Confusion crossed her face before anger took over. She rapidly buttoned her dress back up and jumped to her feet. Her hands balled at her side and she glared at him as she furiously approached him.

“THEN WHO THE FUCK’S LILY AM I?,” she screamed before throwing a punch

He ducked, before catching the next incoming fist in his hand. He pulled her down into his lap and wrapped his arms around her, keeping her from swinging on him again

“I know you don’t understand what’s going on and I love every version of you in every place you exist, but I’m not the Likes that was created for this version of you. My Lily is 14. She is scared of

life and is trying to heal from horrible things that were done to her. She has to learn how to trust me. That is the Lily that is

Mine”

She narrowed her eyes on him. “You would take a child over me? That is disgusting”

He lifted his chin to look at her sternly. “I am not a pedophile. I am waiting for her to grow up. You on the other hand need to go find your Lukas. I’m not him,”

He paused when he felt his physical body being jerked around. He reached for Gideon.

‘Wake me up.‘

He kissed the vision Lily’s forehead and set her on the ground to get up. “I have to go.”

“You’ll never see me again,” she threatened.

“So, I’ve been to

trying to wake up, but the Lily here kept tugging on his leg.

“Please, don’t leave me. Stay here with me. We can have eternity together, here.”

here,” she begged

He tried to dislodge himself as fear exploded in the mind link he had developed with Lily.

“GIDEON!”

I can’t Lakes. Something is keeping you there.”

He looked down at Elly stilltugging on his leg and he cursed as he reached down for her. He pulled her up.

“I’m sorry, but my Lily needs me.”

He let his hand shift and in one swift movement sced through her neck, separating her head from her body.

He was ripped from dreamland back to the present. Lily was thrashing on his lap, screaming. Her fist connected with his chin and his head was forced back, making him bite his tongue. He cursed softly. He grabbed her hands and leaned down to her face. Gideon breathed out and his fire was absorbed into her body. She calmed down and he rocked her slowly, holding her close as he murmured softly to her.

“Shhh, baby. It’s okay. I got you.”

“My fire will keep her asleep. I’ll keep the bad dreams away, Gideon whispered in despair. “I want to hurt him so bad. She doesn’t deserve this.”

He ran his fingers over her face. “No, she doesn’t and I fully agree with you. If he was still alive, he would be in the dungeon with her parents.

What do we do?

“We hold her tonight and tomorrow we talk to Kalar

About what?

We may not be able to punish that asshole, but

can have Kalani help us punish the fuckers who gave her to him.”

“What are you going to do?

He settled back against the couch and closed his eyes. He prayed he could go back to sleep and that she would not have any more dreams.

He was standing behind a small figure in the rain and all that kept them from getting soaked was a plastic trash bag. He reached out to touch the figure, but they took off walking. They glanced behind themselves and he was stunned to see it was Lily. He fell into step beside her as she nervously looked over her shoulder reportedly. Eskas tumed around to look, too. There was nobody behind them. He eyed her.

“Baby what are you said of?” he asked.

Sheen sig of hearing him and he cursed. He followed her for about five minutes before a car pulled up. Jo wound the window down and smiled at her.

“Hey, Lily girl. Want a ride? You shouldn’t be walking in the rain.”

Lily looked over her shoulder again before jumping in the car. Lukas reached for the door handle, but he slid right through it to land on the seat. Lily took the bag off and shovered to raised an

eyebrow at her.

“Are your cold?”

Lily nodded to breathed out and the air in the car heated about 10 degrees. Lily gave her a grateful smile.

“Thanks, Ja”

“Anytime.”

Jo started driving again while Lily nervously played with the hem of her shirt. “Can I ask you something? I mean, you can say no and I would be okay. I just…”

“What’s up, honey?”

“We have to write reports on a strong female and I was wondering if I could do mine on you. I mean, I would have t

to interview you and stuff”

Jed. “Of course. It would be my honor.”

“Thank you”

Lily looked out of the window, watching the droplets run down the glass. “Hey, Jo. Can I ask you something?”

“Sure”

She fell silent and he could see her nervousness. “Never mind. It’s stupid.”

“There are no stupid questions, Lily Only stupid answers.”

“Umm, alright then. I think I have a crush on Lukas a

and I mean there are certain things that have happened that make me think that maybe he likes me, too.” She blushed and closed her eyes. “Do you know if he does or am I just stupid for thinking that?”

He turned to glare at fo. She better answer her right or he was color to fix

“I think the king would want to tell you how he feels himself” She paused. “But I will tell you that I have never seen him want to be around someone as much as he wants to be around you. Not even me”

by turned in her seat to look at her. “Do you think if I asked him to come see me, he would?”

Jo smiled. “Ask and see. I’m sure your father will let you call him.”

She frowned and Lukas wished that she had told to then what went on at home.

“Yeah, he sure will =

Gideon pulled him from her dream by forcing him to wake up.

“You’re invading her privacy.

“I didn’t push into her dream. She pulled me.”

“Doesn’t matter. That’s her space.”

Lukas groaned, knowing he was night, but hating it. He glanced at the clock. 5 AM. She would be waking up soon and he would have to go. He sighed. It was better he savored the feel of her in his

arms. Who knew if he would ever be lucky enough to have her there again. The Goddess seemed to think that they would only have tonight, but he refused to believe that. He kissed her forehead and she nuzzled into his chest. She didn’t act like she didn’t want him. She also hadn’t said she didn’t. She had asked him to stay. That meant something, right? He had to keep hope that they would be together and no matter how long it took, he was determined to trust her.
