The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155

KHEA

“I found her,” I say gently.

Her eyes go wide.

That’s the first real reaction I’ve gotten out of her in days.

“So why isn’t she here?” she asks.

“I need a witch just as powerful as Lyric or more to break the spell on the rogue settlement,” I say.

“Or we have to kill the dark witch who cast it,” I say just as all the guys pile into the office.

Dom does what he’s been doing every day since the coronation-he walks in and sits her on his lap.

His hand moves automatically, grounding her. He doesn’t even think about it anymore.

“Okay, a few things. Mason has posted himself at the border because he isn’t allowed in the pack. I’m hanging onto control by a

thread. Zeus wants to kill him,” I say.

“Why is he doing all of this?” Winter asks.

“Lyric gave him his memories back,” I say.

Her eyes go wide.

That one hits harder than the rest.

“Why would she do that?” she asks.

“He asked her to, and he promised her he would let her go,” I say, shaking my head.

I scoff under my breath. Promises mean nothing now.

“Aria is going to reject him,” Elias says.

“Yeah, I know. Especially if he doesn’t get his shit together,” I say.

I wave my hand in the air.

“Enough about the pup. I found my mate,” I say, and silence fills the room.

No shifting. No breathing. Everyone locks in.

Chapter 155

Jace speaks first.

“Why haven’t we left to go get her yet, then?” he asks.

“Because the rogue settlement is being hidden by a blood spell, and we need a very powerful witch or kill the witch who cast it. I

say to them.

“So why can’t Sable do it?” Elias asks.

James shakes his head.

“Sable isn’t even as powerful as Lyric, and she just started learning magic,” James says.

“She taught her what she knows, but there’s a lot of stuff Sable doesn’t know, and she is a mid-level witch and not what we heed

he adds.

“Okay, so does she know one?” Logan asks him.

“I don’t think so. She was living with the humans when she discovered she was a witch, and then she found her mate, who is a bear.

She is basically self-taught,” he says.

“Okay, so then we search for a powerful witch and work on killing the witch,” Dom says.

“Wait,” Winter says,

and we all pause and look at her.

“How did you find her?” she asks, looking at me.

Her voice is steadier now. Focused. That’s better.

“We ran back to the spot we felt the pups the strongest that day, and there was a witch waiting there. She said she knew Lyric, and

she was waiting for me to come back every day. Her mate is close to David, and they are trying to get her out, but she can go into

labor any day now, so that makes things harder. Then she told me about the spell and told me I was standing on the grounds of the

settlement, but the spell makes it look empty to everyone who isn’t part of it or the witch,” I say.

“Fuck, that complicates things,” Logan says.

“Yeah. Back to the witch-the girl says she has a shop in the unclaimed territory, and she is also her mother. But if Lyric is willing

to help her and trusts her, then I trust her,” I say.

No hesitation. I don’t question Lyric’s instincts. Ever.

“Okay, so are we going to go pay her a visit to this witch?” Dom asks.

I shake my head.

“Not yet. She isn’t a regular witch-she is the high priestess of her coven,” I say.

Everybody stills at that.

That changes the room. You can feel it.
