The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184

She gasps “Oh my goddess, how are you even alive” She cries.

He smiles at her and it’s weak but real, like he already made peace with the fact that he shouldn’t be “I guess Selene felt it wasn’t

my time” he says before looking at me.

“I’m sorry I got found out before you were able to get to her” he says to me and that hits harder than anything else he said- because even like this he’s thinking about her, about the mission, not himself

A lump forms in my throat, I clear my throat once, twice before speaking and it doesn’t go away, it just sits there heavy, choking everything I actually want to say

“It’s okay, we will get her back tomorrow. We will break the spell and kill the witch tomorrow and I will bring both of our mates

home”

The words come out steady, but my chest tightens the second I say it-because tomorrow isn’t soon enough, and we both know it.

He sits up quickly. “I’m going with you tomorrow,” he says.

I shake my head and sigh heavy. “Jonathan you can’t go. David has to think you are dead, he needs to think he was successful in killing you,” I say to him.

He growls at me and Zeus answers immediately. Sharp. Immediate. No hesitation.

He bares his neck. “I’m sorry, I just need to get to my mate. If he finds out she is there he will kill her,” he says urgently.

That urgency hits clean. No hesitation. No second thought. Same place I’ve been sitting in since she was taken.

“I can change his face and then he can go,” Tabitha says lightly.

I turn to her. “Are you sure?” I ask.

She smiles. “Yes Cole I am, that is a beginner spell,” she says.

Jonathan nods his head. “Lyric changed Seraphina’s face when she first got there, so that she can walk around more freely,” he says.

Even here, even now, she’s still moving pieces. Still staying ahead. That steadies something in me. Just enough.

“Okay so we change your face and you go and help us get my mate and pups out as safely as possible,” I say.

“Her plan is to escape the day after tomorrow because that’s when she thinks you are coming to rescue her,” he says.

“Well then she will be excited to see me come early,” I say. The thought settles in sharp. I don’t wait anymore.

Chapter 184

ELKA

“Dominic inform the warriors and Alphas we will be attacking the settlement tomorrow and tell the Alphas to have their enforters get ready to kill the witch in the morning, we leave first thing. No more waiting it’s time to bring our Queen home,” I say

“Yes Alpha, it’s getting done as we speak,” he says, eyes glazing over.

“Jonathan get some rest because tomorrow you will be fighting against wolves you stood beside for a long time,” I say, turning to

walk out of the room.

“Thank you Cole for believing me and saving my life,” he says.

I turn back before walking out the door. “You’re welcome brother,” I say. This time it sits right. Not forced. Not questioned. Just

there.

Everyone leaves behind me except my father and Tabitha. I look back.

“She is asking if he knows what spell the witch used to hide the settlement,” Tobias says.

I nod slowly. Everything is lining up too fast now. No room left to hesitate.

“Let’s all get some rest tomorrow we end this,” I say.

Tomorrow princess. Closer now. Close enough I can feel it.

Tomorrow David pays for touching what is mine. That thought doesn’t spike. It settles. Deep. Certain.

He dies for all the lives that have been lost by his hand.

Tomorrow he loses everything he built.

Everything.
