The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

“I let your feelings slide before because everything was fresh for both of you, but now I don’t give a damn about your feelings. I don’t even care about Aria’s. I will snap your neck, and I won’t lose any sleep over you,” I say, voice dropping low.

He tries to swing at me, and I grab his hand with my free hand and break his wrist.

He roars in pain.

His wolf works to heal him as I throw him out of the office into the hall.

I step out slowly; everyone around stops to see what’s happening.

“You think you can come into my pack and stake claim on MY mate,” Zeus says, pushing forward.

“She is MINE,” he roars out.

The word echoes-dominance, warning, claim.

Mason stands and moves to tackle me.

I anticipate him and kick him right in the stomach.

He growls and recovers, moving to swing again.

I dodge and punch him in the jaw, followed by a punch to the ribs.

He stumbles back.

“You have no right telling me how to search for my mate, so now you will leave,” Zeus snarls.

Aria comes running down the hall.

“Cole, what are you doing?” she asks, seeing Mason on the floor at my feet.

“Teaching your mate a lesson. Hunter, get your Alpha off my pack grounds. I will keep you posted on your sister,” I say.

Mason stands and rushes at me again, and I grab him by the throat once more.

“I will break your neck, Mason. Nothing is keeping me in check. There’s nobody here to stop me,” I snarl.

No Lyric. No balance. Just me and him-and I don’t lose.

“Cole, please don’t,” Aria cries.

Chapter 145

My eyes snap to hers.

“Your mate is trying to fight me over a mate that is no longer his because he loves her, and I need to stop. I did when I told him to

get the fuck out of my pack,” I say through gritted teeth.

“I know, but he is my mate, and we are having a pup,” she says, placing her hand on my arm.

I growl and throw him across the floor.

“The next time you step foot in my pack, I will kill you. And that isn’t a threat. Get the fuck out,” I’roar.

Aria and Hunter scatter to pick him up and pull him down the hall.

My chest rises and falls as I breathe heavily, trying to get control of Zeus.

“Thank you for not killing him,” Winter says behind me.

I sigh because, as much as I wanted to, I know she would hate me for it.

“Lyric would hate me if I did,” I say.

And that’s the only reason he’s still breathing.

I walk toward my room.

I don’t know how much longer I can hold it together without her.

I step inside and inhale her scent.

Faint. Still there-but fading in a way that shouldn’t be possible.

Please come back to me, princess.

I just need to feel you once.

Before I lose what’s left of myself completely.

Seraphina POV

I stand behind a tree, scent masked, wearing my invisibility cloak.

The fabric clings too close to my skin, trapping my heat, my nerves-like even the magic knows I shouldn’t be here.

I watch as the alpha king’s wolf runs through the field.

Massive. Fast. Relentless. Every step he takes eats the distance like he’s tearing the world apart to find her.

Chapter 145

My mother’s spell is working perfectly.

Too perfectly. That’s what makes my stomach twist.

I’ve lowered the veil a little so he can sense his pups.

Just enough. Just enough to give him hope. Just enough to pull him in the direction we need.

Jonathan said we need them to know where to come when we finally make our move to get the Queen out.

After he senses them at their strongest, I put the veil back up.

The second the magic seals, it snaps tight in my chest like I just slammed a door in his face.
