Chapter 79: Chapter 81

Chapter 81

She walked into the school’s office and smiled at the woman behind the desk. “Excuse me, my name is Lilianna Lincoln and I was wondering if I could speak to Principal Dora about something.”

The woman smiled back at her and held up a finger. “One second. Let me make sure it’s okay.”

A few moments later the door behind the desk opened and Principal Dora stood there. She beckoned to Lily who hurried inside her office. Principal Dora shut the door and sat back in her chair.

“Lilianna, honey, is everything okay?,” she asked, concerned.

Lily nodded. “Yes, I was just wondering about my credits and if it were possible to graduate early? I know I will have to work harder than most students,

but I’m willing to do whatever I need to do to finish at the end of next year. I don’t want to have to leave the school, because I love it, but I will if can’t finish at the end of next year.”

The principal sat back, smiling. “Is this about Lukas, dear?”

Lily flushed and looked away. “Maybe.”

The door opened behind Lily and she jumped. She glanced over her shoulder to see the receptionist walking in with a stack of papers nestled in manila envelope. She set it in front of the principal, bowed to Lily and left. Principal Dora opened the envelope and began to read the papers inside. She leaned back in her chair as she studied the papers, before shutting the folder.

“So, fitting 2 and a half years into a year and a half is going to require a lot of extra work, but this is what I will do for you. Take summer school thist year and next. This summer you will take your junior english, history, science and math, so that next year during the year, you can take your senior courses. For your gym credits, I will allow you to do clan training. For your electives, I assume you will be taking art?” Lily nodded. “That’s what I thought. That will be the only class we will have to figure out. I will need to talk to Felix to see if there’s anything he can do to help you get that last class credit. Also, you will have to take health class all next year and the last half credit next summer, but that will be your only credit you have left to

do next summer.”

She started searching on her computer for something, before looking at Lily. “You need 4 other elective credits. You can choose any of the ones we offer or you can take any college level course we offer after school for seniors. You can take up two of those a year, one remaining this year as they are semester long courses. You do also have an unclaimed period for next school year. So, you can fill it with whatever course you would like.” She raised an eyebrow. “How does that sound?”

Lily sat silent as she thought about it. She bit her lip. Was this really what she wanted to do? She reached up to play with her necklace. The sparks that raced over her skin made her melt inside. She sighed happily

“That sounds amazing. Thank you.”

The door opened again and the receptionist walked in. She handed Dora a couple of pamphlets and left. She handed them to Lily.

“These are the courses offered after school. Please, go over them and let me know which one you would like to take before winter break.”

Lily looked down at the pamphlets in her hand. She began to flip through them, stopping at the child psychology one. She set the others back on the principal’s desk.

“I want to take the child psychology course, please.”

Principal Dora nodded as she reached for her phone. “I will get you enrolled. Is there anything else?”

“No, ma’am. Thank you.”

“I will let you know what Felix says. Get back to class and stop back here after school.”

“Have a good day.”

“You, too, honey.”

Lily stood

up to leave as Principal Dora began to dial a number. Lily skipped happily back to her class. She sat down and Margaret handed her a stack of papers. She slowly worked her way through them, almost too excited to focus. She turned her papers in and was dismissed from the class, She wandered towards the library and halfway there she bumped into Kenny. He eyed her.

Chapter B1

“What

you up to, Lily?”

“I was headed to the library. What are you doing?”

“Skipping class. I hate math.”

Lily giggled. “Wanna come with me? I could use some company.”

“Sure.”

He fell into step beside her. She leaned her head against his shoulder.

“I’m glad we’re friends again, Kenny. You were being kind of a dick.”

He laughed. “Well, I’m sensitive.”

She giggled. “Will you help me find something?”

“What are

are we looking for?”

“Everything we can on the trio. I wanted to do research on them…”

He eyed her. “Don’t you live with two of them? I’m sure you can just ask them.”

“I.. don’t want them to know I’m n

researching them.”

He rolled his eyes. “This is about King Lukas, isn’t it? He’s the only one who’s not really around”

She blushed. “Yeah ”

He pointed to a section of books off to the right. “Those are all about King Lukas. The next row is Queen Sasha and the row after that is I’ll just sit here and watch you choose books. I’ll help you carry them out.”

She gave him a quick hug, before dashing towards the books.

She gave

“MISS LINCOLN, NO RUNNING IN THE LIBRARY!”

Queen Kalani

Lily slowed, flushing as Kenny laughed behind her. She ran her fingers over the spines, searching for one that grabbed her attention. She picked one up to look down at the leather bound book. The Bringer of Death: King Lukas Lincoln She turned the book over in her hands. Seeing his title didn’t bring the same terror and panic she had once felt. She hugged the book to her chest. She was going to learn all about him and his kingdoms, so that when she took her place, she was not a liability to him. She settled into the seat next to Kenny and proudly displayed her book for him to see. He raised an eyebrow at her, but didn’t comment. She turned the cover to run her fingers over the title page. She glanced at Kenny,

“Can I ask you something?”

“Are you afraid of the king?”

He nodded. “Everybody is. I heard he’s been less tolerant lately. My parents say that a few years ago he changed. Rumor is that he has a mate that doesn’t want him. Everyone knows he has a mate, but nobody knows who. Well, there’s rumors about who she is, but my parents say that a man like that would claim his mate, but not broadcast who she was.”

Lily’s heart sank. He didn’t want anybody to know who she was? He claimed her, but not when she wasn’t around, was he ashamed of her?

“Lily, are you okay?”

“Yes. Why?,” she lied.

“You stopped breathing.”

She turned the next page. “Why wouldn’t he broadcast who she was?”

Chapter 81

“If I was king, I wouldn’t tell anybody who my mate was either if they weren’t by my side. I would worry that someone would take them and hurt them. My parents said she would be in danger.” He shrugged. “I wonder if he has her hidden in his castle until she wants to be his mate. Don’t you think that would be so romantic? The man is fine. Imagine it you’re in the closet and he opens the door, naked with a towel-”

Lily slammed the book closed and jumped to her feet. Her fists were balled and he stopped talking.

“You should try not to fantasize about the king! If he were to find out, you would be punished

She picked the book up p and stormed off to check it out. He chased after her to grab her elbow

“Lily, what’s wrong? I was just joking”

She pulled away from him as the librarian scanned the book and her id. Her body tensed.

“Leave me alone, Kenny,”

She ran out of the library when the librarian handed her the book. She was stopped by Felix as she walked by after the last bell. He gave her a smile.

“Hey, Lily, have you spoken to the principal yet?”

“No. Why?”

“I told her I would give you credit next year for two art classes as long as you were able to do assignments for both classes. I will allow you to do them at home and bring them to me.”

She threw her arms around the teacher. “Oh my Goddess, thank you.”

He awkwardly patted her shoulder. “No problem, Lilianna. You can go ahead and go home. I will let Principal Dora know I spoke to you.”

“See you tomorrow!”

Lily dashed away as she saw Kenny trying to get to her. She sprinted off campus, before letting Gemma take her home, Last thing she had to do was talk to Aiden and Sasha about doing official clan training. She groaned. They weren’t going to like that and she wasn’t going to tell them why. Maybe she wouldn’t tell them. Maybe she would just show up to the training. She groaned. They were going to be mad either way, but it was nobody’s business why she was doing what she was doing. She licked her lips. She was going to have Sasha talk to Lucy’s adopted family, because when school was over, she wanted her back full time. She wanted her life the way it was supposed to be and she would be damned if anything got in her way.
