Chapter 103

“I will go and talk to Ariana about the coronation, honey. Don’t worry about that,” she says, kissing my cheek and my father’s and

brother’s and Dom before walking out.

“Anything said about this needs to be kept quiet and conversations had only in our offices, as they are soundproof,” say, my gaze Jocking on each of them to make sure they understand.

“Got it, bro. We’re going to let you two talk and check on the warriors,” Elias says.

“Switch up the training regimen and patrols also. They are watching us and our movements-change everything,” I say.

“Got it, Alpha,” he says over his shoulder.

“Winter told me she was pregnant too. She said Lyric told her back at Moon Veil,” Dominic says as soon as the door shuts behind

them.

I grin widely. “Congrats, brother,” I say, standing and grabbing the bottle of scotch from my bar.

I pour us both a glass.

“To us becoming fathers and finding our mates,” I say.

“Thanks to you and recognizing those eyes,” he says.

“I didn’t think we would ever find her for you, and then she fell right in your lap,” he adds.

“I know, and now I will not lose her, Dom-or my pups. At some point she won’t be able to shift and really protect herself,” I say, the edge creeping back into my voice.

“We will protect her and your pups, Cole. We got you and her,” he says.

We

urs talking pack business, but my mind never fully leaves her.

When we walk out of Cole’s office, Caleb leads us toward the library.

When we walk in, a totem on the wall starts glowing as I walk past it, the light flickering like it’s reacting to me specifically.

“What the hell just happened?” I ask.

“Luna, are you a witch?” Caleb asks, his tone cautious now.

“No, why?” I ask

Chapter 103

“Because that totem was gifted to the royal family by a light witch long ago. It only responds to witches,” he says.

Everybody looks at me with curiosity, the weight of their stares making my stomach twist.

“I’m not a witch. I would know already, right? Nobody in my family is a witch,” I say.

“I can’t be,” I say low, even though something about that totem didn’t feel wrong-it felt… familiar.

“Hello, Thomas. This is our Luna Lyric. She wants to know if we have any information on Eloise’s fated mate and their pup,” Caleb

asks.

“Hello, my Queen,” Thomas says, bowing.

“Hello, Thomas,” I say.

“Yes, we actually have a lot of information on her mate. He was a very important Alpha before Lucian became King,” he says.

“Follow me.”

He leads us to a different part of the library, more private and closed off by velvet ropes, the air heavier here, like the knowledge

itself carries weight.

“This area is restricted to the royal family only. I hope you find what you are looking for, my Queen. If you have questions, please ask-I have read everything in these texts and things that are not,” he says.

“Thank you, Thomas,” I say.

We all grab

seat and start looking through different texts.

“Look for anything involving Eloise before Lucian kidnapped her,” I say.

“This book dates to before he became King,” Iris says, handing me a book that looks older than werewolves themselves, the pages worn and fragile beneath my fingers.

As I read the book, my eyes go wide with surprise, my heart starting to race as the pieces fall into place.

“Thomas,” I call out.

“Yes, my Queen,” he says.

“Eloise was a witch?” I ask.

“No, my Queen. Her mate was an Alpha and a witch. He led the supernatural faction at the time,” he says.

“Supernatural faction?” I ask.

Chapter 103

“Yes, it was made up of one representative from each species, and her mate sat at the head of the table for witches and wolves,” he

says.

“When Lucian killed him, the other faction leaders went into hiding, and the witches hid he and Eloise’s pup from Lucian. He was

the last one left of his father’s bloodline-the most powerful witch bloodline to ever exist,” he says.

“Legends say when he died, ifie faction locked away their magic, leaving it to only be unlocked by someone of his bloodline,” he

says.

“That’s it,” I shout, standing up, the realization hitting me like a punch to the chest.

“My blood will unlock the magic-I’m the key,” I say.

“David needs me alive to unlock the magic of the faction that will help him rule over all species,” I say, the danger of that settling

deep in my bones.

“We need to find where that magic is hidden and get to it first,” I say.

“I can’t believe you are a witch too, Lyric. This is crazy,” Winter says.

“Tell me about it. I learn something new about myself every day,” I say, even as the truth feels heavier with every second.

“We need to get ahead of them. They have my blood, which means soon David will know exactly how useful I am, and he will attack

again,” I say.

“The war is coming sooner than we thought,” I say low, my voice steady but my chest tight.

And as I look down at my hands-the same hands that just unlocked answers meant to stay buried-I realize something that makes my stomach drop….

they’re not just coming for the throne anymore-they’re coming for me.
