Chapter 56: Chapter 58

Chapter 58

Lukas

Kalani knelt by his side with her hand on his shoulder. Pain radiated through him again and he cried out. The full body spasm stopped and he collapsed back onto the ground, panting. Gideon pushed forward.

I’m sorry, Luke, but we’re not there to help her. I’m pulling all of her pain away from her.’

He put his face flat onto the ground.

‘Good. Pull it harder.”

Another wave of pain hit and he clenched his jaw. He banged his head on the ground, trying to distract himself from the pain. Kalani massaged his back murmuring softly as he battled through the pain. Suddenly, the worst pain he had ever felt made his body jerk and he screamed out. Then the pain was dulled until it finally turned into a light throb. She helped him to sit up and he leaned against her. She stroked her hand over his hair.

“Are you okay?”

He nodded. “Goddess, I never want her to have another baby. That is horrible,” he whispered.

She laughed. “That’s cute. Consider yourself lucky that it was over that fast. Now, do you want to go f

He sighed. “Not really. I want to go to see my mate and our child.”

A weird look crossed her face and he narrowed his eyes. “What was that look for?”

“Nothing,” she denied.

He stood up. “What are you hiding from me?”

“Nothing. I swear.”

Gideon growled. ‘She’s lying.

“I know.”

“Come. Let’s go do this while we wait,” she said as she walked away towards the castle.

He ran after her and grabbed her arm, making her stop. “While we wait for what?”

“News, brother.”

He growled at her. “You’re lying.”

“I can’t tell you. Sasha aura’d me.”

He let her go. What the fuck was going on?

“Fine. Let’s go.”

He led her d

fuck these assholes up?”

down to the dungeon where Luis and half of his mate waited for them. Kalani gagged at the sight of Martha’s torso and head.

“Goddess, brother. Was this really necessary?”

“Yup.” She rolled her eyes. “Do your magic.”

She entered into Martha’s cell and gagged again as she approached her. Martha’s eyes widened, filling with tears.

“Please, Secunda Regina Kalani, I’m sorry.”

She sighed and put her hands on her chest and her forehead. “This is part of your punishment. You will feel all of her pain!”

Chapter 53

Kalani closed her eyes and power surged around her. Martha started screaming as her eyes glazed over

“Please, stop!,” she sobbed,

Lukas entered into the other cell to grip Luis’s throat to force him to watch as his mate screamed and thrashed. Kalani stumbled back with tears on her face. He shoved Luis back against the wall as he hurried over to her. She buried her face in his chest, whimpering.

“Kal?”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I just need a minute.”

He hugged her close. “I didn’t realize this would be so hard on you, too.”

She sniffled and wiped her nose on her sleeve. “I can do this. She shouldn’t have gone through that and it’s their fault.”

“No. This was enough.”

He picked her up to carry her to the chair outside the cells. He went back over to Martha and shoved his hand through her breastbone. He put his hand around her beating heart and met her eyes.

“Consider this mercy.”

He pulled it out of her chest and held it up so Luis could see it still slowly beating in his hand until it finally stopped. He lifted what was left of her body and carried it into Luis’s cell. He tossed her body in front of him.

“Eat her,” he ordered, letting his aura flare out to force compliance.

He turned his back on Luis as he sank to the floor to do as he had been ordered. Kalani’s eyes widened as she watched Luis start to consume his mate.

“That is absolutely disgusting.”

Lukas shrugged. “What they did was disgusting. Lily deserved to be treated like the Queen she is. It’s a shame he’ll never have the honor to bow to her as his queen.”

She leaned against his shoulder as they left the dungeon. “You really love her, don’t you?”

e and said that I would never be with her. She said that I needed to choose another mate.”

He nodded. “The Goddess came

to me

“And? What did you say?”

“I told her to go to hell. I love Lily, Lani.”

“But you can’t help but wonder if she is right about you taking another mate?”

“I wondered once,” he admitted, pulling down his collar, “and I gave myself this.”

She eyed the beautiful, perfectly tattoed lily over his heart that curved around to his hack. She stopped, raising her eyebrow at him.

“Show me the rest.”

He sighed and took his shirt off. The stem of the flower ran the length of his back with lilies of every color coming off the main stem with even more lilies coming off every other available stem until there was hardly any skin left to be seen. She walked around to the front of him and laid her hand on his chest. He felt warmth and peace come from her, making him so happy that she was his sister. She removed her hand and he tugged his shirt back

“I don’t want anybody else,” he whispered sadly. “Just her.”

She hugged him. “It’s okay. Everyone knows you love her. Even her. She really has come so far in the last few months. Just give her a little more time.”

“I wanted to be there for her. I wanted to hold her hand when she brought our daughter into this world.”

“I know. We all are so proud of you for honoring her wishes.”

Chapter 58

“It’s hard. I

just want to grovel at her feet to come home to me.”

“I know. Sonn.”

“I hope so,” he murmured.

He tensed as he scented his father approaching. He scanned the sky until his father came into view. He tensed glanced at his sister who was shifting her weight nervously beside him. His heart started pounding.

Even

more when he was flying slowly. He

“Lani… what’s going on?”

“Lukas, please, don’t be upset.”

Their father landed about a hundred yards from them and lakas’s eyes were instantly glued to the bundle of blankets in his arms. He hurried towards them, his heart threatening to beat out of his chest. His father stopped walking to wait for him to get to them.

“Lukas-”

He gently took the blankets from his father and moved them a little. The most beautiful blue silver eyes stared up at him and he sank to his knees. He bowed his head as he stared down at the little girl in his arms.

“Lucianna,” he whispered as his chest constricted. He looked up at his father with tears in his eyes. “Did.. is.. Lily?,” he croaked out. He sent up a quick prayer to the Goddess, begging that his Lily was okay. “Dad, please. Is Lily okay?”

He put his hand on Lukas’s shoulder and squeezed. “Physically she is okay. Mentally she is broken. Sasha and Sommer are with her.”

He clung to his daughter and ran a finger down her face. “My pretty, little girl. Daddy already loves you.”
