The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122

David POV

I was going to wait until Friday to attack, but my wolf is restless and wants our mate. It claws at me, pacing, agitated, like waiting is

physically hurting it. So because war is unpredictable, I’m moving up my attack. I want her broken when I take her.

“Come to my office,” I link Jonathan.

Five minutes later he is walking in.

“Send a message to our people on standby, we strike tonight,” I say.

He looks at me for a moment, eyes narrowing just slightly like he’s weighing the risk, before nodding.

“Okay, why the change of plans?” he asks.

“I no longer want to wait.” My jaw tightens, impatience bleeding through. “Get everything ready. We move in twenty to Moonveil,” I

say, standing to walk out the door.

“yes alpha,” he says, following behind me.

Twenty minutes later Jonathan and I, and a few more of my warriors that aren’t already there, shift into our wolves and make the

journey to Moonveil.

Soon you will be in my arms, Lyric…

and this time, there won’t be anyone left to take you back.

Mason POV

Things have been great since Lyric and Winter left. Aria and I are expecting our first pup. My alpha ceremony is in two weeks.

Tomorrow is Lyric’s coronation and we are leaving early in the morning to be there for that.

She told Hunter she has a surprise for him.

I’ve been finding myself missing her more than I care to admit to anyone. It creeps in at the worst times-quiet moments, empty

rooms-like something is pulling at me from the inside.

I’m not sure what she did to me when she left, but it’s left a sense of emptiness in me like something is missing.

I try to think what it could be and I get nowhere. Every time I get close, it slips-like my mind won’t let me see it.

I’m sitting in the Alpha’s office thinking about what it could be when Hunter walks in.

“Mase, why you hiding in here?” he asks, closing the door.

He studies my face.

“you thinking about her again aren’t you?” he asks.

“I just want to know what she did to me,” I say.

He shakes his head. “Mason you have to let that go.”

I slam my fists on the desk. The wood cracks slightly under the force, splintering at the edge.

“I can’t-she took something from me and I want it back,” I say, frustration bleeding through.

“Whatever she took kept you alive. Cole would have killed you otherwise. Besides, we need to be focusing on the rogue king-she said he may attack here next or our mother’s old pack,” he says.

“if hacks here we are ready,” I say, even though something in my gut twists like a warning I don’t understand, “but I need to

tell her to undo what she did.”

and walk to the bar. I pour both of us a drink and sit back down-

-but that is short lived because we both get a link at the same time.

“ROGUES AND BEARS AT THE BORDER.”

The glass slips slightly in my hand before I slam it down.

We both jump up.

“Aria baby, w

tack, get all the women and children you can into the safe rooms,” I link her.
