The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 147

The Lunar Queen

Chapter 147

Lyric POV

I wake up feeling so heavy.

Like I don’t even want to open my eyes because I already know where I am.

My entire body feels like it’s filled with stones.

Everything aches and I hate that I can’t just push through it like I normally would.

I have been trying to hold it together pretending to have no memory of my mate and our life or who I am.

Every conversation is a test and one slip ruins everything.

Pretending to be his.

That alone makes my stomach turn.

Every time he touches me my skin crawls.

My body reacts before I can even stop it and I have to force myself not to pull away.

I’ve gotten out of having sex with him the last two times he tried, but it’s going to get harder to keep using the pregnancy as an

excuse.

He’s already catching on. I can feel it.

Being this far in my pregnancy I can’t defend myself the same and because I’m supposed to be defenseless and weak right now I

can’t use my magic to fight him off.

I hate having to play weak when I’m not.

“he will not touch us” Nova growls in my mind.

Low and dangerous like she’s already planning to rip him apart.

“I’m trying to make sure of that” I say tears falling even though I try to fight them back.

I wipe them quick, annoyed at myself for even letting them fall.

It been two weeks since the night of my coronation.

Two weeks too long.

Chapter 147

David was trying to take me to the runes today but somebody told him Cole had it being watched and guarded 24/7.

Good. That means Cole is still thinking. Still fighting.

“We need to get out of here, the pups are coming soon Lyric” Nova says panic in her voice.

She doesn’t panic. That alone puts me on edge.

“I know that but Jonathan said he hasn’t been able to get a message to Cole” I say.

And that doesn’t make sense. It should have gotten to him by now.

Which bothers me because what is happening with him that not even a guard at the gate can get him a message.

Unless something is stopping it. Or someone.

David walks in the room and I smile at him.

Mask on instantly.

“hello my love” I say softly.

The words feel wrong every time.

He smiles back eyes flashing to his wolf and back.

Like he already thinks he’s won.

“I planned a date for us” he says walking further into my room.

I smile

Keep it light. Don’t overdo it.

“oh really and what have you planned?” I ask playfully

“well I was going to have it be a surprise but since you asked so cutely, I planned a nice dinner for you and I got us some private

entertainment” he says voice dropping.

The way he says private entertainment makes my skin crawl.

Yeah… I don’t like that.

Bile rises in my throat at the thought of what that could mean.

“well I’m excited to see what it is, I could use some other entertainment besides the books in the library” I say.

Chapter 147

Lie. But he buys it.

ร

The only place I’m allowed to go in this prison.

“I picked out a beautiful dress for tonight” he says just as an omega walks in holding a deep blue gown.

“this is for you my love, put this on and Rhea will bring you to me” he says kissing me softly and then trailing kisses down my neck.

I try to keep my body relaxed as he dips his face in the crook of my neck and inhales my scent.

Don’t react. Just let it happen and get through it.

My body shivers in disgust but he thinks it’s me responding to him.

Of course he does.

“soon love after you give birth” he says.

Yeah… not happening.

“Luna I will wait outside the room for you to get ready” Rhea says before walking out behind David.

The tears fall the moment the door closes shut.

I don’t even bother stopping them this time.

I can’t keep doing this.

I know Cole can feel every time he kisses me, or touches me intimately and that is tearing me up.

If he feels even a piece of this…

Nova howls for our mate every night.

It doesn’t stop. Ever.

Hoping he can feel us through the muted bond.

I change into the dress and it fit perfectly over my bump and hugging me like it was made for my pregnant body.
