Chapter 65

Sasha jolted awake, her heart pounding like crazy. She sat up in the bed and Aiden wrapped his arm around her.
“What’s wrong?,” he asked sleepily.
“I need to go see Lani.”
He opened one eye to stare at her. “Why?”
“A dream.”
“Want me to go with you?”
“No. I can go.”
“Alright. Hurry back to bed will you?”
She kissed him softly. “I’ll try my best.”
She slid her feet into her slippers and stood up. Aiden grabbed her hand, stopping her. She turned back to him. His finger stroked the back of her hand.
“I love you, Sasha.”
“I love you, too, Aiden.” She smiled at him. “I’m still beating your ass though, handsome face.”
His chuckle followed her out of the room. As soon as the door shut behind her, she took off towards her sister’s room. She sprinted up the stairs and threw their door open. Gregory immediately leapt on top of Kalani even before his eyes opened. He growled, warning Sasha not to come any closer.
“LANI! GET UP! I NEED YOU! RIGHT NOW!”
Gregory blinked and climbed off of Kalani. He ran his fingers through his hair.
“Sorry, Aja. I didn’t realize it was you.”
“It’s fine. Come on, Lani.”
Sasha turned around and hurried out of the room, trusting her sister to follow her. She was pulled to a stop halfway down the hall.
“Aja, what’s wrong?”
“We have to go get her,” she answered, pulling away to continue down the stairs.
Kalani darted in front of her. “Who?”
“The girl.”
“What girl?”
“DAMNIT LANI, WE’RE WASTING TIME!”
“Well, answer me this. Where are we going?”
Sasha faltered. “I.. I don’t know.”
“Okay.. so, don’t you think we need to figure this out first, before we just go running out of the castle?”
Sasha sighed. “Look, I had a dream that Lukas’s mate was kidnapped by Tiffany. We need to go get her, but I don’t remember where she is.”
“Lily?”
“Yes, her.”
“Jo.”
“What?”
“Jo knows about her. Maybe she knows where to go.”
Sasha nodded. “Yes, let’s go talk to Jo.”
She started speed walking down the hall when Kalani cleared her throat. Sasha sighed.
“I’m going the wrong way, aren’t I?” Kalani nodded. Sasha turned around. “Lead the way, sis.”
Kalani jogged down the hallway, back the way they came. She turned down another hallway and stopped. Sasha stared at Ethan who was frozen like he had been caught in the act of committing a crime.
“What are you doing?”
“Just taking a walk,” he muttered, shoving his hands in his pockets.
“Alrighty, then, weirdo,” Kalani said.
A door was yanked open and Jo stood there in booty shorts and a tank top. Her nipples were pushing up against the thin material.
“Goddess, could you three be any fucking louder?,” she snapped. She glared at Ethan. “And you.. Well, you can just go away.” She stepped back and opened her door wider. She gestured inside. “Ladies?”
They hurried inside and Jo slammed the door, before turning towards them.
“You two realize its Goddess damned 3:30 am, right?”
“We need to go get Lily. Like right now.”
Jo yawned. “Why?”
“Well, Sasha had a dream and-”
“Sasha had a dream?”
“Yes and her dreams-”
“Show the future,” she finished for Kalani as she walked to the balcony doors.
Sasha raised an eyebrow. “Lukas?”
“Lukas,” she repeated, nodding.
She leapt off the balcony as her wings came out. She dropped two feet before she was skyrocketing up and away from the castle. Kalani stood next to Sasha for a few minutes, before sighing.
“She will bring her back.”
Sasha hugged her. “I hope so or Lukas will burn this whole world to the ground to find her.”
They silently walked back to their respective rooms, climbed into their mates arms and went into a light sleep, anxiously waiting for Jo’s return.

After breakfast, Aiden led the girls and their mates out to the arena where 13 other men waited for them. All of the girls except for Sasha and Kalani, oozed excitement. Sasha took her sister’s hand as their brother approached. His footsteps were calculated and angry. He stopped in front of them.
“Where in the hell did you send my beta?”
“To get something.”
He glowered at them. “Next time, send your own fucking beta.”
Kalani straightened her back. “IT WAS FOR YOU DICKHEAD!,” she screamed after him.
Aiden cleared his throat and everyone gathered around him, silently.
“Rules: Since the women are fewer than us in number, they will pick their opponent first. At the beginning of each round, whichever team has the least amount of people left, will get to choose. Whoever chose that round will defeat as many people from the opposing team as they can, before they are eliminated or tired and want to tap out. Losing consciousness will be an elimination. We are not fighting to the death. If I feel like you are going for the throat I will step in. There are no other rules. Understood?” Everyone nodded. “Okay, who’s first, ladies?”
Kalani took a step forward, grinning. “I am and I will take all of them,” she said pointing at all the men except Lukas, Gregory, Ethan and Aiden.
Aiden raised his eyebrow at her. “All at once?”
She pushed her sleeves, lightly bouncing on her heels, smirking. “Yep. I mean unless you guys are afraid?”
The 16 men immediately moved into spots around her, forming a circle. She stood completely relaxed in the middle. A bell rang out and they started moving towards her. Sasha felt the slight shift in the air as Galina took over. She rapidly met each of their eyes as she turned in a circle.
“Submit,” she ordered.
Every single one of the men around her dropped to the ground with their heads lowered.
“Now, surrender!”
They all held their hands up. Galina turned to grin at Aiden.
“Does this count?”
He rolled his eyes. “Cheater, but sure. Dismissed.”
They all hurried to the sidelines. Galina faded to the back as Kalani began to walk off, too. Lukas took her place in the middle.
“Sherri, Melissa, Raven and Ana, please, join me if you will.”
They all exchanged looks, but moved to the center. Sherri sighed.
“Can I just surrender? I already know-”
“SURRENDER!”
His aura radiated out and they all sank to their knees. Kalani laughed out loud.
“Cheater,” she called out, tauntingly.
“Learned from the best, little sister.”
Kalani eyed the men left, nervously. Sasha patted her shoulder.
“I got this, babe.”
She strolled to the middle. “Gregory.”
The previous gamma walked confidently to meet her in the middle. Irina pushed forward and she let her have control. The bell rang and the two didn’t move. Gregory eyed her and Sasha didn’t react. She took a step forward and he lunged. She leapt over him and kicked him in the back of the head. He pitched forward and she spun around to jump on his back. She put him in a chokehold and he tried to get her off. She met Aiden’s eyes as she leaned down to Gregory’s ear. Irina pushed their power out hard and fast.
“Sleep.”
His body immediately relaxed and he collapsed on the ground, still. Kalani breathed a sigh of relief from behind her and Aiden asked four of his men to carry Gregory to the sidelines. She crooked her finger at Ethan.
“Come hither, if you dare.”
His eyes darkened and she immediately regretted her words. She took a step back. She definitely had not meant for that to sound so flirtatious.
“Ethan-”
He tackled her and they went rolling. Her legs went instinctively around his waist as she wiggled against him. Aiden’s growl distracted her and Ethan pinned her. Her attention snapped back to the man above her. He was staring down at her and Irina growled.
‘He’s aroused,’ she spat.
Oh, Goddess this was bad. She shoved her hands against his shoulders, but he didn’t budge. Well, fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck fuck fuck. She glanced at Aiden and she saw Lukas holding him back. She swallowed hard.
“Ethan, I am so sorry for what I’m about to do to you, but I can not allow you to disrespect my mate.”
He opened his mouth to speak and she slammed her fist into his jaw. His head snapped back and she took his loosened grip on her to fling his body up. He shot over her head and she rolled. She quickly climbed onto him, with one knee at the base of his spine and the other on his neck. He bucked, almost dislodging her. She pulled his head back so she could look into his eyes.
“Aiden is my mate, Ethan. He is the only one I will ever want and love.”
He growled and she punched him in the face. Hard. She felt some of the fight in him go out and so she hit him again. Harder. He collapsed under her and she quickly got off of him. Aiden jerked away from Lukas to stomp furiously over to Ethan’s unconscious body. Sasha got in between them, before she was yanked away from him. She cried out and tried to get away from Gregory who was holding on to her tightly. Aiden lifted Ethan off the ground and threw him ten feet to the sidelines. He glared at Sasha as Ethan landed with a heavy thud on the ground. He pointed to the ground in front of him.
“Bring that ass here, My Queen!,” he snarled.
Sasha got wet at his possessiveness and she licked her lips. Time for the trick she hid up her sleeve. She slowly approached him, removing some of her clothes until all she was left in was a sports bra and a pair of tight short shorts that put her long legs on exhibition for everyone to see. His eyes lingered on her bare stomach and he gulped.
‘I want another egg,’ he murmured in her head.
Sasha ran her fingers up her torso, lingering between her breasts. The air filled with his arousal. Irina laughed.
‘Now, you know that is really cheating,’ she whispered.
‘Game on, bitch,’ was all she replied as she stared Aiden down.
