The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

Lyric POV

3

It’s been almost a week since we found out about the locked faction magic and me being a witch. I don’t know anything about being a witch, and the more I think about it, the more it feels like I’m standing on the edge of something I don’t understand and can’t

control.

I’m standing in our room, looking at myself in the mirror, when Cole comes up behind me.

“You okay, my Queen?” he says, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my mark.

“Yeah, everything is just a lot and it makes me worried for the pups,” I say, my eyes lingering on my reflection a second longer, like I’m trying to see something I keep missing.

“Have you seen anything?” he asks.

“No, and that is what worries me more. I can’t see anything about them aside from the vision of me well into my pregnancy,” I say.

“Why can’t I see it? I don’t like that I can’t see what happens after the actual pregnancy. That makes me nervous that something is going to happen to them, like their fates are uncertain,” I say, tears starting to fall before I can stop them.

“Hey, hey, come here, princess,” he says, pulling me into his lap.

“Whatever happens, we will protect these pups with our lives. Maybe Selene doesn’t want you to know,” he says.

“I don’t like this feeling, Cole. I have the same feeling I had every time I knew Summer was plotting,” I say, and the second I say it out loud, the weight of it settles deeper in my chest.

He cups my cheeks and kisses me softly. Then he deepens the kiss slightly and I moan into it. He breaks the kiss and rests his

forehead on mine.

“Don’t stress, my Queen. It isn’t good for our pups. We will find a witch who can help you figure out how to tap into that side of

you,” he says.

“We have a meeting with the council today,” he says.

I roll my eyes, tension coiling tight in my chest at the reminder of them.

“They said we need to discuss their concerns with you becoming Queen,” he says.

Nova bristles at that, her irritation brushing against mine like a warning.

“They are concerned with my power and how powerful I actually am. Nobody, not even me, knows the extent of my gifts,” I say.

“Even more reason for this meeting. We need to humor them, princess,” he says. “You spooked them last week and now they have

questions,” he adds.

“I need to keep digging through the archives. I need to know everything I can about Eloise’s mate and what happened to their son and if he was a witch,” I say, because every missing piece feels like something dangerous waiting to happen.

“Okay, let’s do that after breakfast,” he says, lightly putting his hands over my stomach, grounding me just enough to breathe.

As we’re walking down the stairs, I’m hit with a vision.

I’m standing in the middle of a pack and there are rogues and bears everywhere. The sound of snarls and teeth clamping down cho in the air, sharp and violent, like it’s happening right in front of me instead of inside my head.

It’s a massacre. Bodies of wolves and pack members lay scattered across the ground-pups, elderly, the entire pack, the scent of blood thick and suffocating, clinging to everything.

Then I see him.

David.

Walking out of the packhouse with a severed head, smiling like it means nothing, like none of this matters.

“Bring me the beta,” he yells.
