Bullied Mate Of The Lycan Kings
Chapter 90

Lily's pov's

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Lily, happy birthday to you. Hip hip hip, hurray!" Bia and Theo sang at the foot of my bed and I smiled so wide, ignoring the fact that it was six in the morning and I had only slept a couple of hours after talking all night on the phone with Ren. Passing the birthday cake to her father, Bia jumped on the bed and tackled me in a hug that was so tight, it made me want to cry tears of joy, for feeling so loved and cherished.

"Thank you so much, Bia, Theo." I responded and Theo winked at me and turned around to head for the door.

"Cake is downstairs, waiting to be devoured." He said and i smiled from ear to ear, very excited for the first time in a while about my birthday.

The past few weeks had been my happiest in a long time, especially thanks to the fact that i could hang out with Ren, Rhea and Chelsea at school and Bia and Theo when i was at home, helping around in the flower shop. Bia had even officially found use for Fiona who was now the official shop mascot and wears an adorable sunflower hat during working hours.

I did not feel any different like i had thought i would when i turned eighteen. I had expected something very special and dramatic happening to me when i opened my eyes but i did not feel anything, but there was no stirring in me, no awakening or anything. If anything i should be happy right? Because what i was dreading now more than anything was my dormant wolf waking and immediately locating her mate. To be very honest, i was already quickly believing that i was wolfless and mateless at the same time but i did not even feel a thing about that in fact i was pleased by the fact and yet at the same time worried that if my wolf did show and our mate appeared, i would surely be rejected because no one wanted to date or mate an omega. Quickly ignoring the weight on my chest, i focused on happy thoughts like thoughts of Ren and hanging out with him at school.

I blushed as i remembered how we had kissed the last time at a hidden part of the library and my entire body tingled with delight. We ate together, studied together and even went to classes together.

"Stop stuffing your face with cake, Lily. Your ride is here." Bia said and I hurried out, delighted that yet again even though i had told ren that he did not need to, he had sent a ride for me.

The driver was quite early today, i noted even though he was always usually early so that i could not sneak into the bus. However, when i stepped outside, the ride was a little different. It was a sleek white limo and Bia was squealing and shoving me out of the house, wishing me a happy birthday once again before i could even process my shock.

When the driver opened the door for me with a slight bow in greeting, i saw Ren and the girls grinning at me and immediately i entered, Rhea threw herself on me and hugged me tight.

"Happy brithday, sweetheart!" she and Chelsea screamed after which chelsea shot a confetti gun in my face and we all cackled like clowns.

Before i could thank them for the warm reception, they started to fuss over me, giving me a plethora of ridiculously expensive items.

"Rhea!" I gasped as she unwrapped the bow to her gift and tore open the packaging.

It was a Carl St Claire Her Royal Majesty perfume that costs thousands of dollars per ounce! and I swear, I choked and died as she puffed some in my face, falling in love with the sweet, citrus scent. "What? A lady always has to smell her best!" She insisted.

"Here," Chelsea said, presenting me with a larger package. "Open it."

I did as she asked and gasped at the brand new pair of red bottoms sitting pretty in the package.

"My mother always says good shoes take you to good places. I can't wait to see where these ones take you, Lily. Happy Birthday."

The fact that she was smiling sweetly between Ren and I as she said those words made me understand that she was implying that she thought Ren was a good choice for me and I should continue on that path and yet again, I was happy about the fact that Rhea and Chelsea loved me and approved.

To show my appreciation, I immediately kicked off my shoes and slipped on my new pair of louboutins, admiring the way it fit my feet perfectly.

"Thank you so much guys, you shouldn't have." I said with teary eyes and Rhea waved me off, presenting me a little cupcake topped with a candle just as Chelsea placed a plastic tiara on my head as they told me to make a wish and blow on the candle, which I did, grinning hard and hoping that my wish would come true.

Finally, Ren cleared his throat and Rhea rolled her eyes.

"Fine, you can have her now. Stingy man."

Chelsea stuck out her tongue at him as he pulled me into his arms with a smile that made my insides curl with delight and i gasped when he kissed me deeply, not even caring that his sister and my best friend were in the car with us.

When he pulled away, he brought out a diamond bracelet, and I smiled shyly as he put it around my wrist, chelsea and rhea squealing in excitement.

When he pulled away, he brought out a diamond bracelet, and I smiled shyly as he put it around my wrist, chelsea and rhea squealing in excitement. "Promise that you'll never take it off?" He asked me and I nodded with a smile.

"I will treasure it."

"There's more," he leaned in to press a kiss to my ear and I shivered, not used to how good his touch, his kisses made me feel. "But the other gift I have for you... It can't be wrapped."

"You guys are so cute, i want to barf!" Chelsea gagged and Rhea slapped her arm, pulling her away to start a conversation.

Ren pulled me even closer, his voice low as he spoke to me.

"Do you feel any different today?"

He was now wearing a serious expression and I could see that he was worried about me finding my mate. I knew that it was impossible for him to not be. I was so scared of finding out who my mate and i knew it could change the dynamic of our entire relationship. Placing a hand on his cheek, I gave him my most reassuring smile, even though I had no answer either.

"Everything will be fine, i promise. Don't worry," I whispered, but Ren held my hand and his face turned very serious.

"I have something that I want to tell you."

Afraid that he was going to say he would step away if my mate found me, i began to shake my head but he put a hand on my cheek, stopping me in my tracks.

"What if you don't have to reject your mate?"

I ran into a metaphoric wall.

"I dont understand. W-" I choked. "What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said, love. If it comes down to it and your mate doesn't want to reject you, you don't have to go through the process. I... I don't mind you being with your mate, as long as you keep me in the picture." "Like... Like cheating?"

He chuckled and nuzzled my neck. "No, like your boyfriend. Your lover. Your chosen mate."

TWO mates?

"Y-you want that?" I looked at him, my heart pounding wildly.

"I want anything that keeps me by your side, Lily," he said in a deep timber that tingled my spine and fluttered butterflies in my belly. "I am prepared to love you and be there for you, no matter what."

I stared at him, my tongue tied, my heart racing as he wrapped his arms around me and pressed me to his chest, sighing contently.

My ears kept ringing with his words all the way to school.
