The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156

“Okay, that changes things because now killing her isn’t so simple,” Elias says.

I nod my head.

“Exactly,” I say, leaning back in my chair.

The chair creaks under my grip. I don’t even realize I’m squeezing it that hard until it protests.

Knowing where she is and I can’t reach her or feel her is driving Zeus and me crazy.

Zeus doesn’t settle-he paces, claws dragging through my head, pushing, pushing, pushing. Move. Kill. Fix it.

“We need to gather the Alphas of every pack in the kingdom and the ones who are here as well and have a meeting. The guards at the runes said rogues have been sniffing around at the entrance just outside the borders,” I say.

“And they didn’t engage?” James asks.

“No, they left as soon as they saw the guards,” Dom says.

Testing. Watching. Waiting for us to slip.

I look at the twins.

“So Jace, Logan, I have a question,” I say.

They both look at me.

“How would you both like to be my gammas?” I ask.

They both freeze and look at each other, then their eyes glaze over as they talk to each other.

Decision made before they even speak. I see it.

When their eyes clear, they are both grinning.

“Yes, we accept,” they say in unison.

“Anything to protect our sister,” Jace says.

I smile big.

“Good. She will be happy for that,” I say.

She will be back to see it. I’m making sure of that.

And then I turn to James.

“I want you to be her personal guard,” I say.

“I can’t stay. I have to go back and take my place as the bear king. My father will fall,” he says.

I nod.

“I understand. I think we should take the fight to them,” I say.

“They all need that magic to make their moves, including the witches. That’s why they all want Lyric and the triplets,” I say,

thinking this through.

“I say we make the first move,” I say more to myself than to the room.

Waiting isn’t getting her back. Taking something will.

“Dom, get in touch with the Alphas that haven’t come here and tell them there is a meeting happening in two days. If they can’t get

here, they must be available via video calls. Elias, Xavier, start looking for a witch that can help us break the spell, even if we need

to go to other kingdoms. I will reach out to Tobias, the Alpha King of the North, and see if he knows of any powerful witches willing

to help me. Time is very limited, so let’s move fast,” I say.

“Winter, please call Hunter and let him know what is going on because as much as I don’t like it, Mason is currently acting Alpha of

Moonveil,” I say to her.

“Yes, Alpha,” she says.

“And Winter, please eat and take care of yourself and my niece or nephew,” I say, locking eyes with her, letting the command softly

wash over her.

“Yes, Alpha,” she says.

Dom locks eyes with me and nods his head.

“Dom, make sure we get the room ready for Serena. She may be useful in getting to the dark witch,” I say.

“Got it,” he says.

Everybody stands to go do their tasks, and I’m stuck back in the silence again without her.

Door closes. Silence hits instantly. Too quiet. I hate it.

Knowing where she is settles Zeus a small amount, knowing that there are at least two people in that place trying to protect her.

David thinks he’s won, but I just haven’t played my hand yet.

And when I do-

it won’t be quiet, it won’t be clean,

and nobody in that place is walking out alive.
