Secrets Fly Out Of Bird Cage

Lily couldn't keep standing there pretending like everything was fine. She took a seat at the rose maze fountain. Hand carved with four wolves each one with a diffeferent color gem embedded where the eyes are. Her hands laid on the seat of the fountain cool to the touch it felt but her body was burning trying to figure out how to tell Luka. Luka walked closer to her analyzing her his head slightly tilted with his eyes filled with concern. She could barely meet his eyes, she didn't want him to hate her for talking about it. But she knew he deserved to know how Erick felt and how she did.

Lily makes a slight coughing noise as if clearing her throat when she starts to speak " I know a lot has been going on between us and I wanted to address somethings with you."

" Yeah, I've been waiting for you to come talk to me at your own pace I didn't want it to seem like I was being forceful again." Luka retorted looking down at her hands still laying flat on the fountain.

"I have been taking everything into consideration and I know I do have feelings for you.." Lily answered blushing cupping her hands to her face "but Erick has also made a confession to me and also wants me to take him as my mate."

Luka sighed but smiled kneeing down by her side grabbing her hands so they could meet eyes " I had a feeling he did...he seems different with you around as am I. I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous or confused by this but ultimately its your choice. Many females have multiple partners and I would have to accept that if you were to be my mate."

Lily looked at his face somewhat twisted with sadness but also confusion. She put her hands on his face and pulled his face to hers giving him a gentle kiss on the forehead. His eyes widened and he blushed with a small smirk on him. She smiled happy to see his expressions change but she knew she had to decide on something.

" I care about you both a lot but I will say you hold a different spot in my heart. If I were to decide on having multiple mates I would want you to be my first. Also making you my husband so any other mates know you come first in my heart." Lily stood up looking him straight in the eyes with a serious demeanor.

Luka looked somewhat shocked and bewildered by her declaration. He picked her up in the air and hugged her tight. He knew he may not be her sole mate her sole partner but he knew he would be the ome closes to her heart. He was estatic that she even returned his feelings.

"I would love to make you the queen of the Lupine Kingdom and for you to carry our legacy. I see my future with you and only you Lily ever since I met you it was like a beaming ray of sunshine finally finding me and giving me true warmth." Luka told Lily while holding her tight.

" You have been the first thing thats felt real and with generous love in all my life." she said while thinking of her past wanting to cry happy tears trying to desperately hold it back.

" If Erick is to be your second mate I know with all my heart that at least he will love and protect you like I would." Luka said making Lily blush slightly.

Lily stammered out "p-please stop h-he has to at least start by c-calming down and t-taking it slow. I c-cant handle both b-becoming my mates at once."

Luka smiled even more knowing he would have Lily to himself for a while before he answered " I can't agree more. Meaning we should plan everything out first before anything with him happens. We have to have a wedding done by the pope and the ceremony for us to be King and Queen. Plus preparations for you to become accustomed to our kingdom and not to mention the mating ritual itself."

Lily looked at Luka she could tell he really loved her just by how much he's thinking about the future and worried about the mating ceremony. But that left her question what is the mating ceremony. She cupped her face with one hand trying to think of it all. A lot has happened since she was revived into a new world. Confused on why a god from a different world even helped her and how did it all play this way. But she couldn't just expect answers to fall from the sky.

Luka smiled at Lily " maybe we should prepare for dinner first it's almost that time. If you like you can invite Erick so all three of us can chat about the situation." he says before kissing her on the lips and biting ther lips gently. He was growing even more impatient knowing she ackowledged his feelings and felt the same way.

Lily slipped out a soft moan and kissed him back with her lips dancing with his before answering "o-okay Im going to get ready then and meet you at the dinner hall."

Luka nodded ann entwined her arm with his motioning her back to the castle. The prince wasted no time to escort his soon to be queen. Lily blushed as she followed him like she was in a trance. But she got this weird feeling as if something was coming. Too happy to care she followed him through the maze into the palace down the halls until finally they reached her room.

"You know my soon to be queen when ever you need me I will be just a call away. Day or night." he smirked when he said night "I can especially help at night." he chuckled softly.

Lily gently pushed him in his hard toned out arm. " I will see you at dinner my prince." she said as she quickly turned away blushing swiftly entering her room smiling.

She ran to her bed and knelt on the floor with her face in the sheets flushed almost as red as some of the roses in the maze. She was happy and her heart kept beating for Luka. Luka smiled and cupped his face by his lips and blushed. Still amazed she came to him and confessed. Though he was feeling he was at impasse with Erick. His friend falls in love with the same woman and the woman he loves has feelings for him back. He just kept reminding himself of the words Lily said. She wanted him to be her first.
