Chapter 88

Lukas

He stood in front of the mirror, staring at his new mark. Gideon watched from his eyes and Lukas smiled at the happiness that had been a constant presence since she had marked him yesterday. After she had left, the girls that were trying to get his attention had left in a huff. lo had retrieved another shirt and jacket for him, grinning stupidly at him. His sisters had been ecstatic and their mates had stood behind them, shaking their heads.

“You don’t even know how fucked you are.” Aiden had said. “She’s been with these two and they are spoiled.”

Sasha had shimmied against him and he had groaned, before he picked her up.

“I might be spoiled, too,” he had called out as he tossed her over his shoulder and carried her out.

Lukas shook his head to get those thoughts out of his head. He needed to focus today. Today was day 2 of the dragon clan meetings, which meant it was challenge day, Everybody would gather in an enchanted arena that made their dragons useless. They wouldn’t be able to shift or use their fire. Kings would challenge other kings and queens would be challenged for their mates. Bets would be wagered and people would die. Even the king of kings was sometimes challenged. He traced her mark on his skin. Goddess, she had surprised him when she had marked him and he couldn’t be happier. His bedroom door bounced open and moments later his mattress springs creaked.

“Oi, asshole. Hurry up, ya princess. I’m sure your hair looks fine.”

He rolled his eyes. “I should have fired you,” he yelled through the closed bathroom dour.

Jo laughed. “Do you know if Lily will be there?”

He paused, before finishing getting dressed. “I don’t actually.”

He exited the bathroom to glare at his beta who was rummaging through his drawer. She held up six empty bottles of lube and raised an eyebrow.

“I was just in here. How did you go through six bottles in like 24 hours?”

He snatched them away from her. “None of your fucking business”

Her eyes softened as she watched him toss the bottles in the trash. “The mark means you need to mate.”

“I won’t push her, Jo. Now, drop it.”

She shrugged. “Sult yourself, lover boy. Be on the field in ten minutes.”

He growled at her as she danced away. He picked up the leather bracelet and put it back on. He hated that he had practically worn the leather out by always touching it. It was his good luck charm and he loved it. He jogged out of the room, before leaping into the sky. He had five minutes to cover miles to the field. He landed and walked through the gates. The spell wrapped around him, putting Gideon to sleep. He went to his throne that overlooked the field.

A line of 7 women were already on it. He groaned. Queen challenges were first. He began to search the arena and he sat forward when his gaze landed on Lily who was chatting with the boy from last night. She gave him a hug and got up to move by Sasha who was bouncing their daughter on her lap.

His

is little girl reached for Lily who immediately nuzzled into her throat. His heart swelled. He couldn’t believe that he was finally getting to see Lily and Lucy together and didn’t have to hide that he was watching them. It completed his world and gave him hope for their future. A bell sounded and he stood up. He spread his arms

“WELCOME TO THE ROYAL CHALLENGE! HERE ALL THE DISPUTES WILL BE HANDLED AND DEALT WITH FAIRLY! WE WILL HONOR THE QUEEN

CHALLENGES FIRST! JOANN YOU MAY STARTI”

lo stepped up to the first girl. “Who are you challenging?”

“Lilianna Lincoln for the king.”

Lukas narrowed his eyes on the girl. He had never seen her before. What the fuck was going on? His eyes went to Lily who was calmly walking down to the arena with her head held high. He had never been so proud and terrified in his life. He knew the other women saw her as weak, because she was so young. He hoped that in their time apart she had continued to keep up with her training. Jo finished telling them the rules, before backing away. Lily stood in the middle of the arena waiting. The other girl circled her, over and over again. The girl lunged at her from behind and Lily sidestepped. The girl tumbled to the ground and Lily kicked her in the head, before meeting Lukas’s eyes.

“Dasy.”

to checked the girl before announcing she was unconscious and naming Lily the winner. Lily started to head back to her seat when her name was called again and she stiffened. Lukas watched anxiously as she took down another 5 women. He saw her fatigue as the fights went on and he wanted to intervene, but if he did that, it would be an automatic forfeiture for Lily. Jo went to the last girl and Lukas groaned already knowing what was coming. The bimbo from the ball last night jogged out to meet Lily in the middle of the field. Lily rolled her eyes and looked at Jo

“She could lose by dying, correct?

Lily’s question stunned him and he saw the grin that to quickly removed from her face when she nodded.

“Yes.”

“Okay.”

To repeated the rules and stepped back. Lily rolled her shoulders and when the girl lunged, she twisted her body to let the girl fly past her. She sprinted towards the weapons to grab a dagger. She spun on her heels and headed back towards the girl. She tossed the blade between her hands.

“You will never be woman enough for my mate.” The girl threw a punch, before dodging the swing of the dagger that never came. “He will always love me,” Lily continued to taunt. She ran her hands down her body. “This little barely hitting puberty body is the one he wants under him.” She pulled her shirt off, revealing a sports bra. “He’s waited for me for years. I find it hilarious that you thought one dance made you queen.”

Lily ducked punch after furious punch, laughing at the girl. She danced away, tying her hair back. She ran a finger up her body and touched his scale that still hung around her neck.

“When I mate with him, I promise you, he won’t be thinking of you. Or anybody else.”

Lukas leaned over the balcony to watch his woman closely. Goddess,

she

was stunning and she wanted to mate with him. His body heated at the thought of her under him. Her taunts were getting under the girl’s skin and she was getting sloppy.

“Let’s see how bad you are without that dagger,” the girl yelled at her.

Lily held it up. “This dagger?”

“Yes, bitch.

Lily shrugged and threw the dagger over her shoulder. “You still die.”

The girl lunged at her again and Lily jumped back at her, going into a slide seconds before they collided. The girl’s legs were taken out and Lily leaped into her back. She put her knee into the girl’s neck, making her face dig into the ground.

“I told you. He was mine. You should have known your place.”

Lily twisted her neck and the sound of bones breaking echoed around the arena. Lily let the girl fall to the ground with her face facing the sky.jo hurried over to announce Lily as the winner. She held up her hand.

“IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY, LILIANNA?”

Lily smiled coldly and let her eyes move slowly over t

crowd.

“My name is Lilianna Lincoln. My mate is Lukas Lincoln,

In, the ki

king of kings, the bringer of death.” She straightened her back. “I am the queen of queens and I do not share. Whoever challenges me will all die. I am done running. I am here to claim what’s mine. My mate, our daughter and my kingdom. Bow or I will make you bow.”

Lukas watched as every single person knelt on the ground except for their family. Lily hugged lo and blew a kiss to Lukas who watched proudly from above her. She walked back to retrieve their daughter from Sasha and settled back into her seat. Ja clapped her hands and called for the start of the king’s challenges. Lukas kept his eyes on his mate as battles waged on below him. She was beautiful and so different from the little girl that had cowered before him the first time he had set eyes on her.

“I challenge Lukas Lincoln for Deegan.”

The words snapped him out of his thoughts and back to the field. Jo was eyeing him and stood up. He stepped over the edge of the balcony, dropping effortlessly to the ground. He nodded at the Golden Clan’s king.
