Chapter 78: Chapter 80

Chapter 80 Minor trigger warning

Lily woke up and stretched, freezing when an unusual scent hit her nose. Gemma surged forward to take control and growled in warning. A chuckle from the corner drew her attention and she immediately put her teeth away.

“James? What are you doing in here? Where’s Sommer?” She looked around the room and inhaled. Lukas‘ scent was nearly nonexistent. “Where’s

Lukas?”

He sobered up immediately. “Lukas is with Sommer. Sasha kicked him out of your room. She was worried if you woke up and he was in bed next to you, you would be scared so she kicked him out and-”

“Wait! Why is

is he with Sommer? You trust them to be together?”

Confusion crossed his face. “Well, yeah she’s my mate and he’s-”

Lily scrambled out of bed and james had to dart across the room to catch her as she stumbled. She looked up at him and tears filled her eyes.

“Why are they together?” she asked, her chest getting tight.

“They are getting ready to execute people. I hate that she’s turning into him. He’s a bad influence on her and-”

She pulled back to slap him. She straightened her back and her hands fisted by her side.

“HE IS NOT BADI,” she screamed.

James his eyes on her. “BEFORE HE CAME INTO THE PICTURE, SHE WOULD NEVER HAD KILLED SOMEONE, LILY!” He punched the wall and it left a

hole. “EXECUTING PEOPLE IS WHAT DRAGONS DO NOT WOLVES! WE IMPRISON THEM AND HAVE TRIALS! WE ARE FAIR! WHEN I MET HER, THIS

15 NOT THE LIFE I THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE! HE’S NOT RIGHT ABOUT THIS!”

She bared her teeth and stormed past him. How dare he say such things about her mate? About his? Lily was sure that whoever they were executing had a fair trial and deserved what they were about to get. She lifted her nose as she stepped into the hallway. She picked up on Sommer’s and Lukas” scents. She turned back to look at him.

“James, I love you, but you are wrong. You are an alpha now, just like Sommer. This may not be how you want to deal with problems, but some

some things are unforgivable. There are going to be times that you don’t agree with her and she won’t agree with you, but it is important to be united in public. When you think of what was going on before I came and got you guys, do you not want to kill the people who hurt Sommer? Do you want to walk around the pack and see the men that tried to force Sommer to let them touch her? She turned back around. “If you don’t, then you’re not the man I thought you were. What Sommer is doing, she believes is right, so why do you really think she is wrong?

She hurried away from the room, following her nose. Their scents led her to the back where four men were on their knees in front of Sommer and Lukas. Behind the men were another three rows of people, females and males. Sommer paced back and forth as she talked to them. Lily watched Lukas who stood off to the side, glancing at the four story house every few seconds. He sighed and put his hands in his pockets. His muscles rippled under his shirt as he flexed his arms. Another muscle ticked in his jaw and Lily wondered why he was angry. Sammer suddenly lunged at one of the men who struggled to pull his hands out of his wrist restraints. Her claws severed his carotid and blood sprayed out.

She glared at the man next to the one she killed. “And you, you were one of the two who took pleasure in beating women to within an inch of their lives. Their only crimes were not wanting to be pack whores.”

She raised her claws again. A blur moved past Lily and seconds later, James had grabbed her wrist. Sommer looked up at him. He pulled her into his arms, breathing deeply. Lily saw his eyes shift from brown to grey and she swallowed hard. James let Sommer go to move behind the man. He put his hands on the man’s shoulders, before he quickly twisted the man’s head around. The sickening sound of his bones breaking made Lily whimper. Lukas spun around and his face fell.

She held out her hand and shook her head. He hesitated where he stood for a moment, before stepping up beside Sommer to whisper in her ear. She glanced at Lily who was staring at the two deceased men on the ground. James moved the next man in line and placed his hands on the man’s shoulders.

“What’s it going to be, Sommer? Are they all dying or not?,” he asked.

Sommer bit her lip. “Why are you here? You said you didn’t want to be a part of this.”

James tilted his head towards Lily. “Because you are alpha and that makes me alpha, too. Your cousin is going to make an amazing queen someday and I hope that someday she takes her own advice.”

Chapter 80 Minor trigger warning

Sommer and Lukas both looked at her again, curiously James cleared his throat to gain their attention again.

“If they are going to die, can we just do it already, so we can move on?,” he said.

Sommer nodded. She put her hand on Lukas‘ arm and Lily took a step back. Her hand went to her stomach and she pushed on it, suddenly feeling like she was gonna vomit. He nodded and walked away from her to stand behind the first woman in the second row. Sommer straightened upright.

“Marie and Kyle Harris, you are sentenced to death for your crimes against the children of the Wolfsbane pack, including, but not limited to torture during detention.”

Lukas met Lily’s eyes as he snapped the woman’s neck. She whimpered, not wanting to watch anymore, but drawn to the fierceness in his eyes as he continued to work in tandem with James to execute the remaining people after Sommer sentenced them. After all 12 people lay dead on the ground, he shifted uncomfortably. He started to walk towards her and Gemma’s wings came out

He stopped moving and regret moved across his face, Lily watched him for a moment, trying her best to decipher her own feelings. She expected to feel fear and anxiousness, but all she felt was a sense of pride and righteousness for what they had done. She was shocked at how calm she was. Her eyes scanned over Lukas and she drew in a shaky breath. She was tired of all of this. She was sick of not being around him. She needed to get back to him. quickly.

She turned around and took a running leap into the sky. Her wings flapped hard as she flew away. An anguished howl came from behind her and she sighed. She opened their link, wanting to explain to him why she left and all of his hurt flooded into her mind.

She cried out and Gemma almost fell from the sky as his pain almost crippled them.

“Lukas,” she whispered. I’m sorry. I have to go

“Lily, please. Come back. I’m sorry,‘

She pushed peace into

e into their link. ‘I have to figure something out. Please, understand.”

‘I love you,

told her softly.

A lump formed in her throat and she tried to swallow it. Her body trembled and she wrapped her arms around herself. Goddess, she needed him. He was hers and she was going to get back to him even if it killed her. She had to finish school first and figure out the whole Lucy situation, but she wanted to do it fast. She needed-

‘Lily? Say something, please. Don’t hate me, baby. I’m sorry. I.. You shouldn’t have watched that.‘

She smiled softly to herself “I love you, too, Lukas.”

She felt his relief and she closed the link. She let Gemma come forward to send a celebratory blast of fire into the sky. As soon as she got home, she would cement a plan. She had until July’s annual meeting to figure it out and that would be the day that their life would start. She couldn’t wait. If watching that execution told her anything, it was that she was finally ready to be his and to have him as hers.
