The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

Cole-POV

R

Every morning since I found out where she is my chest has been heavier and heavier the closer I get to getting her back. It doesn’t ease the closer I get it tightens, like something is counting down and I’m already behind. Zeus gets closer and closer to the surface scratching at my thinly veiled control. Not Just restless, impatient, irritated, waiting for me to slip so he doesn’t have to. I’ve been up for hours as sleep has been impossible since she’s been gone. Every time I close my eyes my mind goes straight to where she is./ what’s being done to her, and that alone is enough to keep me up. I take a deep breath and walk out of my room and down to the

conference hall tonight the real war begins. No more waiting. No more planning. Just action. Finally.

When I step into the conference room all the Alpha’s are already present. Good, we don’t have time to waste. No greetings, no sman

talk just tension sitting thick in the room waiting for direction.

“Good morning gentlemen let’s get down to business” I say walking to take my seat.

As I walk past Mason his aura is leaking and his father is glaring at him and the other Alpha’s keep glancing at him. It’s not subtle.

It’s loud. Uncontrolled. He wants attention and that alone is enough to irritate Zeus.

“Don’t we need to wait for Clayton?” Alpha Orion asks.

I shake my head “No. I got a tip that David was going to attack his pack today, so he left last night to protect his pack along with

some of our warriors to aide him” I say.

Mason scoffs

There it is. Of course.

“Something to say Alpha Lane?” I say glancing at him.

“Just wondering who gave you the tip?” he asks smirking.

I raise a brow at him “Is he challenging us?” Zeus snarls pushing forward. My fingers twitch slightly at my side, claws threatening

without fully showing.

“It was the mate of the witch who is helping MY mate” I say low. Emphasis lands heavy. Mine. Not his. Never his.

“Oh and is he not a rogue?” he asks as murmurs break out across the Alpha’s.

My brow raises at that and I let out a laugh. Short. Sharp. Not amused.

“So you did follow me last night pup” I say

“I did and you didn’t answer the question” he says sharply.

Chapter 175

I nod my head, he’s going to die. Not now. But soon. That decision settles easy. Too easy

“Yes he is a rogue, he is also one of the people Lyric chose to trust. If my mate can trust him to help her stay safe then I will trust

them to help me save her” I say walking closer to him

I don’t rush it. I close the distance slow enough for him to feel it.

“Now shut the fuck up so I can talk” i say watching as the command rolls over him.

His body stiffens for half a second. That’s all I need.

“Now as I was saying Clayton is set to be attacked today and he will win. While he is attacking Clayton we will be attacking the pear

King simultaneously” I say.

“Are we sure that we can trust the rogue and his information?” Alpha Silas asks

“We’re never sure but as I said Lyric has the power to detect if someone is being honest and if she trusts them then I will too” I say

“To know my mate is to know that is enough, and if you are listening to her first mate instead of me then I can just kill you now

and your Beta’s can take over for you” I say and the room goes quiet.

Not a threat thrown out carelessly. Understood. Accepted. Silence follows immediately.

“Wait Lyric was mated to Alpha Lane before you?” Orion’s Beta Horatio says.

“Yes he was, I was her second chance mate, but Mason here was in love with her way before the mate bond so now he won’t let go

I say.

I don’t look at him when I say it. I don’t need to. I can feel his reaction anyway.
