The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

“Because she is trapped. She isn’t here because she wants to be-he won’t let her reject him. The witch put a spell on her,” she says.

Nova growls low in my head at that.

“Nova… you’re back,” I say, relief hitting me so fast it almost makes me dizzy.

“Yes-and I’m going to kill that fucker David the next time I’m out,” she snarls.

“Wait-let me get this straight. He destroyed her pack, killed her father, and then put a spell on her to stop her from rejecting him

just so he can use her as a sex slave while trying to make me his mate?” I ask, anger rising.

“Yes, Luna,” Rhea says, neck bared.

“Lyric… your eyes are glowing purple, and you’re hurting them with your aura. Even I am struggling,” Seraphina says softly.

I gasp. “Oh shit, I’m sorry, guys,” I say when I notice everyone dropped to their knees.

I force it down-push the power back under control like a lid snapping shut. Not here. Not yet.

“Okay… do you think she will talk to me one-on-one?” I ask Rhea as she stands.

“Yes, she will. I know it may not seem like it, but she probably wants him dead more than you,” she says.

“Okay… we are really running out of time. My belly has dropped, and I feel my body getting ready, so we need to find a way to have

a meeting with everyone involved. We only get one chance at this, and if it fails, I’m stuck here-and I would have been the reason

for all of your deaths. And that is absolutely not an option,” I say.

I don’t say I’m scared. I don’t have to. They can hear it in the way I don’t pause.

“Even if someone has to mind link so they can hear the conversation, this has to happen today or tomorrow. Seraphina, tell my

mate we have maybe days before the pups come-we are cutting it close,” I say.

“Okay, will do. Now we all need to go before he decides to come back,” Seraphina says.

“How many days do you think we have, Nova?” I ask.

“Three… maybe four,” she says.

Too close. Way too close.

“Okay, everyone go. Tomorrow morning we meet back here,” I say before everyone files out, waiting a while before leaving after the

person before them.

“Luna, if I may ask a question?” Lydia says.

“You can call me Lyric. I’m not your Luna,” I say.

B

She shakes her head. “You are not the Luna of this pack, but you are indeed my Luna. As I am a loyal subject of the Eastern

Kingdom, you are still Luna Queen,” she says, bowing slightly.

I smirk. “Clever. Okay, you got me there. Ask away-I’m an open book,” I say.

“Why does David want you so bad? I mean, besides you being his cousin’s mate,” she says.

“I am the first Queen Eloise, daughter of Selene reborn, and I am also the last living descendant of the most powerful witch bloodline to ever exist. My blood is the only thing that can unlock the magic of the supernatural faction that was locked away after

their leader was killed by Lucian Blackwood,” I say.

Her eyes go wide-fear, awe… and something else. Recognition of what I am, not just who.

“No wonder why you are mated to Cole,” she says.

I raise a brow. “You know my mate?”

She lifts her hands. “We went to high school together. My father was his father’s beta,” she says.

Now my eyes go wide.

“Wait-so you’re Dom’s sister? I didn’t even know he had a sister. That jerk-wait until I get back, I will kick his ass,” I say.

She laughs-real, deep, bending over laughter.

For a second… it almost feels normal.

She wipes her eyes. “Yes, I am his sister. And yes, I am a lone wolf, but I am still a member of the Hidden Moon pack. I went to

school to be a pack doctor in the North, and when I came back, I met my mate. He was a rogue here in this settlement,” she says,

her eyes getting sad.

“What happened to him?” I ask.

“David killed him when he asked to be released so we could join a real pack,” she says.

Nova growls low. He will die painfully and slowly.

“I’m sorry that happened. I can see why you didn’t leave after,” I say.

“Yeah… but I can see why you are mated to Cole. I never saw him do anything blessed, but growing up, my mom used to always say he was blessed by Selene, and his wolf was strong,” she says.

I smile, thinking about him.

“You go lay down. Agnes will be bringing your food in a moment. Those pups are taking their toll on you, and I know you are trying to look strong-but for now, relax just a little,” she says.

“I can’t relax until I am back in the safety of my pack with my mate,” I say.

She nods and helps me back onto the bed.

“David is going to wish he never met us,” Nova growls in my head.

David thinks he is winning…

but I can see it now-the cracks. The hesitation. The way everyone moves when he’s not looking.

His paranoia is showing.

He’s scared he’s losing control.

And he is.

And when I finally take all of his control…

when I walk out of here on my own two feet-

he will learn

I was the wrong Queen

to fuck with.
