My Not Yet Mate

Chapter 117

Light, Deborah and Karalee all looked at him in shock.

“Your Highness? What do you mean?”

I mean, that you will be in charge of making sure that their needs are being met. If there are conflict, you will deal with it and if you are unable to, then 1 will handle it, but it would be your responsibility first. If you are up for it, you can come tomorrow and we will iron everything out.” He pressed a kiss to Lily’s cheek. “If she trusts you, then I do, too. I would love the extra help, so that I can spend some time with my mate and our family. So, who’s down to work directly for the king of kings?”

Light looked around at the others. “Can I have bunnies and squirrels? I really like squirrels. They are mutty.”

Everybody laughed and Lukas grinned at them.

“If you want to, show up tomorrow and claim it. There are over 100 species of shifters. There are three of you guys. I am currently looking for 5 more people to help you guys. That way it would be like 15 species each.”

“You just said there were three. Who are the other two?”

He

grinned at Lily. “Casey and Kenny and Sommer and James. Got any more friends you want included?”

She shook her head as she looked around at the small group gathered. “They are all the friends I need.”

He ran his fingers through her hair. “Would you like to do some species, baby?”

Her eyes widened and she nodded. “Can 17”

He picked her up as he walked away. “Tomorrow, he called over his shoulder. “Now, let’s go party. There’s cake.”

He carried her back to the party and set her down at the table, so she could finish eating. People came up to her and congratulated her on graduating and wished her a happy birthday. She smiled and laughed with the Deegan Clan subjects while Lukas stood protectively behind her.

Her heart swelled as they welcomed her into their clan and bowed to her as their queen. She danced with Lukas, Kenny, Aiden and Gregory. She loved watching her family get along. She loved the easy atmosphere. Suddenly, Lucy ran up to her, crying. She immediately picked her up and sat her in her Jap.

“What’s wrong, Lucy, baby?”

“Joshua keeps pushing me, Mommy.” She raised tear filled eyes to Lily. “He’s mean.”

She wrapped her arm around her daughter and got up. Lukas hurried over to take Lucy from her.

“What’s wrong, Lils?”

“Where’s Deborah?,” she growled.

“Over there with the other kids,” he replied, pointing to the slip and slide that had been set up for the kids to enjoy.

Lily’s jaw clenched as she headed over to her. She tapped Deborah on the shoulder.

“Hey, Deb. Why does Josh keep pushing Lucy?”

A look of confusion crossed her face. She turned back to the slip and slide, putting her hands on her hips.

“JOSHUA JAMES! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE! RIGHT NOW!–

He hurried over to them. “Yes, Mama?”

She pointed at Lury. “Why are you pushing her?”

He shifted nervously. “Because Mama…”

“Sentences, son. Speak!”

“She hurts me.

but it doesn’t hurt.”

“What?” She glanced at Lucy. “What do you mean?”

“I’ll show you.”

He reached out to touch Lucy’s leg and she pulled it up out of his reach. “NO!”

Lukas knelt on the ground and set Lucy on his knee, “It’s okay, baby. Let him show us.”

She glared at him as he reached out again. His hand touched hers and his eyes closed. Lucy pulled away from him and he growled at her. He reached out and shoved her off Lukas‘ knee. He caught her and she started crying again. He immediately reached out to touch her again.

“I’m sorry, Lucy. Please, don’t cry.”

She lifted her eyes to her father’s. “I want to go to bed, Daddy.”

He stood up and hugged her close. “It’s okay, Lucy. He doesn’t mean it,” he told her as he walked away.

Joshua tried to follow them, but his mother put her hand on his shoulder, stopping him. She knelt in front of him.

“Son, listen to me. You can’t push her. She won’t want to be friends with you if you’re mean. Promise me you won’t touch NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

her anymore.”

די

promise.” he said, following Lakas journey into the house.

“Go play.”

They watched him go back to the slip and slide, before Lily turned towards Deborah

“Well, it looks like we are going to be in laws.”

Deborah sighed. “He’s 3, Lily. He’s too young to feel the bond. What the hell is going on?”

“I don’t know, but I guess we see how this goes. Would you and Harry consider moving to Deegan? You can go home to visit whenever you want to, but

if they are truly mates, it would be better for them to grow up close together. I just don’t want any issues if they are and they aren’t close.”

She fell silent as she watched the kids playing. A shiver passed through her body and Deborah looked at her.

“Are you okay?”

She started walking towards the castle. “No, I think my egg is hatching.”

“Wait, isn’t it too early?”

“A month too early,” Lily called over her shoulder as she ran towards the castle.

“LILY, GET TO OUR ROOM! OUR SON IS COMING!

“I’m coming

“Faster. He’s coming. NOW!

Gemma’s wings came out and took them to the fourth floor. She burst through the bedroom door and hurried over to sink to her feet, beside Lucy and Lukas. She started adding her wet fire to the egg and before they could remove the shell, a foot came through it. The fluid inside rushed out and they both began to peel the shell away. In seconds, their baby was completely free from the egg. Lukas lifted him up and Lucy frowned at him.

“Mama, put him back.”

She laughed as she took their son from Lukas. She looked down at his red hair and green eyes.

“He looks just like daddy, baby.”

“But Illy looks like Daddy, too. What about us?”

She laughed as she tried to get him to latch onto her breast. “Illy looks half like daddy and half like us, baby. We need a tie breaker. Won’t it be exciting to see who the new baby looks like?”

Lucy pouted. “Fine.”

Lily kissed her son’s head. “Welcome to Earth, Lukas Lincoln Junior”
