Mated To My Sister’s Alpha Fiance

Skylar
“Arachne?” I echo as I study the large spider. She is unrealistically huge, and I shudder. “Do you think we stand a chance against her?”
“We? Lucas snorts. “I’m not bringing you with me-what kind of mate would I be if I risked your life fighting that thing?!”
Abruptly. Lucas veers off course, trying to take us away from the impending battle. But I’m not having any of that. My fingers clutch tighter at his scales.
“You don’t get to make that choice for me,” I snap, my eyes never leaving the grotesque form of Arachne. “Besides, my abilities are needed here!”
‘Not anymore. Lucas argues, and I groan when he begins to land in a clearing in the woods.
“No, get back up there!” I spank him on the scales, but I doubt he can even feel it.
shake
Instead, Lucas lands and tries to me off his back like a dog that has just taken a bath.
“Lucas!” I yell, gripping his scales tighter. “I’m no damsel in distress! I can fight my own battles.”
He is unyielding, relentlessly shaking his body, trying to dislodge me. But my grip is stronger than he anticipates, and though I’m thrown about wildly, I remain on his back.
Suddenly, the flapping of demon wings echoes from above us, and a torrent of fire rains down. Lucas jumps away just time, but the burning flames melt the edges of one of his wings.
“We are sitting ducks down here!” I shout over the howls of the battling demons above us. “We need to get back up there!”
But Lucas is stubborn. He continues trying to shake me off, whipping his tail around and arching his back, but I refuse to let go. I know that if we stay on the ground, we’re doomed. And our only chance for survival is fighting together.

Finally, after what seems like an eternity, Lucas turns his head to glare at me. ‘Why are you so stubborn? Why won’t you let me protect you?!’
“Because we are mates and should protect each other!” I shout back at him, my gaze never wavering from his. “We’re partners and we’re in this together, remember?”
Lucas snorts, smoke curling into the air from his nostrils. I can tell he’s not happy with my decision, but he has no choice but to respect
it.
‘Fine,’ he concedes finally, his voice a resigned sigh in my mind. But if you get hurt…”
“I won’t,” I boldly interrupt, injecting as much confidence into my voice as I can muster.
With a huff, Lucas flexes his wings and takes off again, soaring higher and higher until we’re back amongst the chaos in the sky.

e can beat her?” I repeat my earlier question, causing Lucas to sigh.

Chapter 126
“I don’t know, Skylar. That’s why I didn’t want you on the battlefield.”
“I will be a bigger help here than at home,” I mutter.
“Really?”
“Uh-huh.”
“And which one of your abilities would help us defeat a gigantic man-eating spider lady?”
49%
I shrug one I feel his eye on me. “I mean, I could open a portal to let our pack members be transported here quickly, but I don’t know…you acted as if my abilities might not be needed,” I add, knowing it will piss him off.
Lucas bristles at my words, a growl rumbling in his chest. ‘Skylar I’m just worried about you, he says, exasperation clear in
his voice.
“I know,” I say gently, trying to soothe him despite my own nervousness. “But this is where I need to be, Lucas. As your mate and as a member of the pack. I have a role to play.”
A heavy silence settles between us before he finally sighs. ‘Alright, Skylar. What’s the plan?”

The sound of defeat in his voice makes me smile; he knows he can’t do this without me. I feel more confident than ever.
