Mated to My Fiancé’s Alpha King Brother

180 Chapter 180

Damien’s POV

Panic.

Pure, undiluted panic flooded every cell in my b

ody.

“LILY!” My voice tore through the bakery. “LILY!”

The cupcake box hit the floor. Frosting exploded across the tiles in a purple and pink mess. | didn’t care.

“Where is she?” | grabbed Betty's shoulders. Too hard. My claws were extending. “WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?”

“I-1 don’t know!” Betty's eyes went wide with fear. “She was just here! Right behind you!”

| released her and spun toward the door. My wolf was surging beneath my skin, threatening to break free right

here in this human

bakery.

*Find her. Find our pup. NOW.*

Alex's voice in my head was feral. Desperate. Every protective instinct screaming.

| burst through the door onto the sidewalk. The street was busy. Too many people. Too many scents mixing

together.

But there-beneath the exhaust and perfand a thousand other smells-I caught it.

Lily’s scent. That unique combination of baby shampoo and the lavender soap and something purely her.

| followed it like a bloodhound. Down the sidewalk. Around the corner. My heart hammering so hard | thought my

ribs might crack.

*Please. Please let her be okay. Please let her be safe.*

Then | saw her.

Running towardon those mismatched shoes. Pigtails bouncing. Face streaked with tears but lit up with

something that looked like

pure joy.

“DADDY!”

Relief crashed throughso violently my knees almost buckled. | dropped to the ground just in tto catch

her as she threw herself

into my arms.

“Lily.” | crushed her against my chest. “Oh my God, Lily.”

“Hi, Daddy!” She pulled back, her small hands cupping my face. “I found her! | found Mama!”

The words hitlike a physical blow.

Everything insidewent completely still.

“What?” My voice cout strangled. “What did you say?”

180 Chapter 180

“I found Mama!” She bounced in my arms with excitement. “She was right there! Just standing on the street!

And | knew it was her

because she looks exactly like you said!”

My heart started pounding for an entirely different reason. “Lily... baby... you couldn't have found Mama.”

“But | did!” Her face was so earnest. So certain. “I was looking at the cupcakes in the window next door, and

then | saw her and | just

knew!”

“Sweetheart.” | tried to keep my voice calm. Gentle. “You've never met Mama. You don’t know what she looks

like.”

“Yes | do!” She insisted. “You tellall the time! Black hair and green eyes and the most beautiful smile in the

whole world!”

Fuck.

I'd been telling her those things. For three years, I'd been keeping Sera alive in bedtstories and whispered

memories. Making sure

Lily knew her mother even though they’d never truly met.

“Lots of women have black hair and green eyes,” | said carefully. “You probably just saw someone who looked

similar—"

“No!” Lily’s voice got louder. More insistent. “It was her! | know it was!”

“Baby, listen to me.” | set her down gently, kneeling so we were eye level. “Mama isn’t here. She's far away. You

just saw someone who

reminded you of her.”

“But she looked exactly right!” Lily’s bottom lip started to tremble. “And she smelled pretty! Like flowers and

something else! Something

that madefeel safe!”

My chest tightened painfully. “What did she smell like?”

“Like... like jasmine!” Lily's face scrunched up with concentration. “That's what Mrs. Betty has in her garden! And

rain! She smelled like

jasmine and rain!”

Oh God.

Sera’s scent. But she already lost that, how could Lily...?

My hands started shaking. “Lily. Look at me. Look at Daddy.”

She met my eyes, her own filling with tears.

“Where did you see this woman?” | asked. “Where exactly?”

“Around the corner!” She pointed back the way she'd come. “By the street with all the trees!”

Maple Street. Two blocks away.

“And she talked to you?” My voice was getting rougher. Harder to control.

Lily nodded. “She was really nice! Her voice was all soft and pretty. And she knelt down to talk tolike you do.

And her eyes-Daddy,

her eyes were so pretty! Deeper than mine. Like green glass! Like the forest!”

“What was she wearing?” | stood up, already scanning the street. “Do you remember?”

“Um...” Lily bit her lip, thinking hard.

“Was she alone?”

“No! There was a man with her! He looked worried when | ran away.”

Something ugly twisted in my chest. Jealousy. Rage. Possessiveness.

“Show me,” | said, taking Lily’s hand. “Showexactly where you saw her.”

We moved fast. My wolf was clawing at my insides, desperate to find our mate.

*Three years. Three fucking years of searching and she’s here. Right here.*

“There!” Lily pointed to a spot near the corner. “Right there! That's where | found her!”

| lifted my face, breathing deep. Searching for any trace of her scent.

But nothing. | can’t smell her scent anymore.

“She was real,” Lily tugged on my hand. “She was really here.”

| knelt down, pressing my palm against the sidewalk. My chest felt like it was being crushed.

“Daddy?” Lily's small voice cut
