holding it in his own larger one.

Lily shook her head, "I have to go." She said and was about to pull her hand out of his just as the back door slammed open and there stood her aunt her long blonde hair swirling around her.

"Lily!" She exclaimed, "I've been looking for you," She looked over at Lucas and smiled, "You will have to protect her." She said and was about to walk back out to a man that stood a couple of feet behind her. My uncle Lucian.

"Aunt Lydia," Lily said and she hesitated in the doorway, "Where are you going?"

"Deep into the forest, your uncle Lucian and I will be in touch." She said as she turned and gave Lily a hug, "Your mate will keep you safe." She whispered in her ear and left.

Lily looked back at Lucas, who shrugged, "You can stay here." He said, "We have extra bedrooms and my parents shouldn't be back for a couple of months."

Lily shook her head, "No, I'll be fine at my aunts." She said and looked out the windows.

"Then I'm going with you." He said and headed upstairs to pack before she could say anything. Minutes later he was downstairs with a suitcase, "Let's go." He said and grabbed her hand and started for the front door.

"Lucas, where are you going?" Silas and Nick asked at the same time as they saw him heading for the door.

"You were supposed to cook." Nick whined holding his stomach like he was in pain.

"I'm staying at Lilys' I'll see you guys in school." He said and was about to keep going when they exclaimed.

"Hell no, we're going with you." They said in unison and rushed up the stairs to pack. Ten minutes later, Lucas and Lily drove back to town with Silas and Nick following behind them.

Lily looked over at Lucas with a frown. What was her aunt thinking leaving her behind, especially with him. Most wolves would rather seek out another mate than protect one that would put the rest of their pack in danger, "You don't have to stay." She whispered looking back out the window and at the passing trees.

"I don't have too, but I want too." He said looking over at her with a frown on his face. What made her think he would even think about letting her die?

"You'll get hurt." She whispered as she thought back to her own mother and father. He had tried saving her and look at where that had gotten him. A one way ticket six feet under along with her. Shaking her head she looked at him, "I don't want you to get hurt."

"Nothing's going to happen." He said just as the car rocked like something had slammed into it. Looking in the rear view mirror he saw what had made the car rock. Well some of it. A scaly tail slithered over the top onto the roof before something reached in the passenger window and grabbed Lily by the hair. Yanking her out of the window before he could react.

Crying out, Lily swung her closed fist into the creatures scaly face only to pull her hand back as her knuckles connected with his teeth cutting her, "Let me go." She screamed.

"Gladly." It hissed and flung her off the speeding car and into the forest.

With a hard crack she hit a tree. Groaning and wrapping an arm around her stomach she struggled to her feet. Lucas came to a skidding halt and jumped out of the car rushing the scaly creature that loomed over her ready to slash at her throat. Lily rolled out of the way as a massive wolf slashed at the creatures back. Hissing it turned and slapped him away as if he were an insignificant fly.

Lily stared at where the large black wolf lay, slowly it shifted back into Lucas. Taking a deep breath she looked back at the large scaly creature that walked towards her calmly. Lily glanced up at the sky for quick second watching the dark clouds. She needed to be underneath one. Slowly she started backing away from the creature so she could be under the largest cloud that was beginning to roll by, "What do you want?" She asked it as it made its way towards her with a sinister grin.

"What I want is your head." It exclaimed and slashed at her with its claws extended.

Lily pivoted out of its way before her neck was slashed, "To bad." She said with a smirk, "I'm not going to be as easy to kill as other Fae." She said with a grin before lifting her hand, palm up towards him as a bolt of lightning shot out of her hand. Blasting him back into a tree, he was pinned there. The bolt sizzled as it made its way through his chest and into its heart. Convulsing it burst into flames.

Breathing hard Lily walked towards Lucas unconscious form before kneeling next to him and collapsing on top of him.

Silas and Nick rushed over to them, "They're unconscious." Nick said as he lifted Lily into his arms and Silas lifted Lucas onto his shoulder.

"They won't be safe at Lily's aunts." Silas said as they ran back to the car. Looking over at Lily's Porsche he sighed, "Lily's going to be mad." As smoke poured out of the hood of her car they drove off. A couple of miles down the road an explosion rocked the car, "Yeah Lily's going to be pissed." He snickered as he looked in the rear view mirror to see Lily's car engulfed in flames.

"So where are we going to go?" Nick asked as he drifted around a corner.

"Into the woods, the pack house." Silas said looking into the back seat staring at Lucas with a worried look on his face, "They're not waking up."

"They'll be okay. She probably used their combined powers to kill that thing. She drained their energies to save him." Nick said as he drifted around another corner and went barreling into the woods, "Hold on, it's going to be a bumpy ride." He said and chuckled as the car went over a rock making Silas hit his head on the roof.

"Damn it Nick," He said as he rubbed his head with one hand and reached for the seat belt with the other, "How long till we get there?"

"We should be there by night fall." He said and sped up.

Lily groaned as her eyes slowly opened and she was staring into Lucas' eyes, "Hey." She whispered and he smiled.

"What happened?" He asked her as he sat up and glanced around, "What are we doing here?"

"Finally, it's about damn time you woke up." Silas said as he walked into the room.

"What happened?" Lucas asked again continuing to look around his old bedroom, "Why are we here?"

"Well your lovely mate here saved your ass." Nick said with a laugh as he walked in and sat at the end of the bed, "Lily here used one of the powers you get when mated. That lightning bolt must've drained both of you."

"I've always had that power." Lily said with a shrug when Silas and Nick stared at her, "I teleported the bolt from one of the passing clouds. It just takes a lot of energy for something that pure to pass through me."

"So what exactly is your power?" They asked in unison as Lucas reclined back on the pillows.

"I'm a teleporter. I think of it and it appears, the only problem I can't move myself." She said as she slowly got off the bed.

"That's pretty cool." Lucas said with a grin as she looked over at him.

"Well, thanks." She said with a grin of her own. Sighing she thought about a chocolate bar, that would so help right now. With a smile she lifted her hand and there was a Hershey bar in her hand, "Yummy." She said as she bit into it.

"What other powers do you have? You have to have more than one." Silas asked her curiously.

"I can astral project." She said before closing her eyes and another Lily appeared. The 'real' Lily opened her eyes and looked at her astral self, "I'm pretty hot aren't I?" She said as she slowly walked around herself.

"Yeah, you definitely are." Lucas said as he looked at the real Lily up and down.

Lily blushed and her astral self disappeared, "What about you?" She asked Lucas with curious look on her face as she wandered the large room.

"Brute strength, awesome hearing, great sense of smell, and well when you mate you can use your mates powers." He said with a grin as he astral projected to her side making her gasp in surprise.

"Luckyy." Nick and Silas whined in unison as they looked over at Lily's fingertips and whined even more, "Come on, seriously."

Lily blushed making Lucas laugh out loud as the door burst open. Lily froze as she stared at the large man in the doorway, as his eyes swept the room, he took a step into the room, her eyes opened wide before she took off at a run towards Lucas.

A man towered in the doorway, he looked a lot like Lucas. His eyes took in the scene before him. His eldest son lounged in the bed with a huge grin on his face with his youngest sons and a Fae, a beautiful Fae. He took a step into the room making her scramble towards the bed and pulling Lucas close hiding behind his larger frame, "Sons." He said in greeting.

"Dad." Silas and Nick said. Lucas was to preoccupied in calming his mates racing heart.

"Lucas." Leo said with a nod at his son.

Lucas looked over at his dad and growled, "You scared my mate dad." He said glowering over at his father who had come closer making Lily bury her face in his shoulder.

"I'm sorry for that, but young lady you're in serious danger." Leo said looking over at Lily.

Lily mumbled in Lucas' shoulder, "No shit, Sherlock."

Lucas laughed at that making his dad frown, "She already knows that, Dad" He said to him with a grin on his face.

"This is no laughing matter Lucas, the serpents are after her." Leo growled trying to make his son understand the danger his mate was in, "She's the only Fae in the western hemisphere during the fall equinox. It's their tradition to kill a rare creature during this time. That's why all the wolves are in hiding." He stressed as the young girl looked up at him with her silver eyes filled with tears.

"I told you I didn't want you to get hurt." She said looking down at Lucas as a tear plopped onto his bare chest where bruises were beginning to form. With a jerk she got off the bed and started to pace, "I could probably find the fairy fields." she muttered to herself as she looked out the windows before turning around and looking at the men gathered there, "I have to go outside." She said and opened the window and stepped onto the ledge.

"Lily. Get back in here." Lucas exclaimed getting off the bed and rushing over to her as she closed her eyes and took a step into thin air. She didn't plummet to earth like Lucas had expected instead she floated in the air as she
