The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186

“How can she think about leaving me right now, when tomorrow is the day?” I say out loud. Tomorrow was supposed to be the end

of this.

“She’s scared, she’s already hiding here Lyric and now her mate is missing” Nova says.

“I get that but Jonathan is smart and has royal blood if David tried to kill him he could have been unsuccessful” I say.

“And if he was dead she would feel it, we know that” I say. I cling to that harder than I probably should.

“She just needs to calm down and stick to the plan” I say trying to calm my nerves before they get back. Because if one thing goes,

wrong everything falls apart.

When they walk into the room her eyes are bloodshot from crying.

“Seraphina we are so close” I say.

“I know Lyric but he’s not answering” she replies. Her voice sounds wrecked already.

“I know but that could mean anything” I assure her.

“Please don’t freak out on me, now that Jonathan is MIA I only have you, Rhea and Lydia to get me and my pups out tomorrow” I say. And saying it out loud makes everything feel far too fragile.

“I know Lyric and I’m sorry” She responds.

“You don’t need to apologize, he isn’t dead you would have felt that” I say just as a frantic knock starts at the door.

Rhea runs to open it and Josh rushes in.

“Okay I don’t have much time, David is on edge. The bear King is dead and Howling Moon was waiting when we got there, all the bears retreated mid fight and we had to retreat. David had two warriors grab Jonathan and David stabbed him 11 times with a silver

knife” he says talking fast chest rising quickly.

Seraphina drops to her knees as she cries out in agony. The sound tears through the room so hard my chest aches with it.

“He isn’t dead though, I don’t know where he is but he’s alive” He adds quickly.

Her head snaps up.

“Are you sure?” I ask him. I need him to be sure.

“Yes Luna I’m sure he isn’t dead” he replies.

“I have to go, please be careful because he is looking to come here soon” he says slipping out as fast as he came in.

“I need to eat and you need to go” I say looking at Seraphina. If David walks in and sees her like this he’ll know something

happened.

I grab her hands.

“He is okay, he will find you when all of this is over I promise” I say trying to settle her and convince us both because I can’t afford

for her to fall apart when we are so close to this being over.

They both leave and a few minutes later David walks in. He smiles warmly at me. That smile almost makes my skin crawl now

because I know exactly what’s sitting behind it.

This man really thinks I’m his mate.

“Good morning my Luna, How are you and my pups this morning?” he asks walking over and kissing me.

I place my hand on my belly and smile. “We are fine my love, they are ready to come out and I am ready for them” I say. The lie

comes easier now and I hate that.

He smiles and cups my cheek. “I am too, have you eaten yet?” he asks.

“Rhea should be back any minute now with my breakfast, are you staying to eat with me?” I ask.

He frowns. “I’m sorry mate I have things to take care of, we had a traitor amongst us and I need to deal with things now” he says.

jonathan. He knows. He definitely knows.

I feign hurt and pout at him. “You said you would spend more time with me and all you have done is keep me locked up David, this feels like prison not home” I say trying to sound hurt and disappointed.

He sits next to me on the bed and places me in his lap. He places light kisses on my shoulder and it takes all my strength to not

show my disgust. Every touch makes my stomach twist harder.

Nova growls low in my mind.

“I know love but I’m working on that now, so that when the pups come I am all yours and theirs” he says.

I sigh heavy just as Rhea walks in and stops short.

“Oh I’m sorry Alpha I didn’t mean to interrupt” she says meekly.

“Oh no worries Rhea, your Alpha was just leaving” I say moving off of his lap and he stands sighing heavily.

“Love just give me a few days and it will all be over” He says.

A few days. He still thinks he has time.

“I no longer want to talk, I’m hungry” I say walking to the table in the room.

He sucks his teeth and kisses me before walking out of the room without another word.

I immediately grab a napkin and wipe my mouth. “I can’t wait for all of this to be over” I say.

Before I can even sit down a loud explosion is heard outside and the entire room shakes.

Rhea looks at me eyes wide with fear.

Something is wrong and one way or another, I need to make sure my pups and I are far away from here.

I grip my belly. “Rhea we need to get out of this room” I say as another explosion goes off.

My ears begin ringing as growls and snarls can be heard outside. Not distant. Close. Too close.

Whatever is happening is giving me the perfect opportunity to run, and I am going to run like hell. Because if Cole is here, I need to get to him before this place burns to the ground around us.
