The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195

“I’m fine and so are the pups” I say.

“Oh shit bitch you had the pups, where are they” Winter asks.

“They are over there” I say pointing towards the pups with Cole and the girls.

Cole’s mother comes running out of the palace.

“Lyric I’m so happy you are okay honey” she says kissing my cheeks and checking me for visible injuries.

I laugh at her.

“I’m fine mom Nova healed anything that was wrong with me” I say to her and she screams.

“Oh dear goddess you had the pups” she shouts.

I smile.

“Yes I did.”

I turn to walk into the palace when Aria and Luna Ava stand at the door and I can feel him before I can see him.

The air changes instantly. Heavy. Wrong.

I walk over to Aria and the Luna.

“Hello my sweet girl, I am so happy you are okay” Luna Ava says.

“Thank you Luna” I say and then I look at Aria.

She’s lost weight and looks tired more than she should be this soon in her pregnancy.

Her smile doesn’t reach her eyes.

“Hey Ari” I say walking over and hugging her and healing her at the same time.

“I’m so happy you are back” She whispers to me.

He finally decides to walk over.

“Lyric” he says breathless.

I look at him and I almost don’t recognize him.

Chapter 195

His eyes are bloodshot. Hair messy. Dark circles under his eyes. He looks obsessed. Unstable.

“Mason, what did you do?” I ask voice cracking with every word.

He moves to step closer but I hold my hand out.

“Mason what did you do?” I ash again.

“I didn’t do anything Sunny” he says smiling at me.

That smile used to calm me. Now it makes my stomach twist.

Sparks break out across my hands as Cole laces his fingers through mine.

Mason looks down at our hands and growls low.

The sound is ugly. Possessive.

“Mason what is going on?” I ask.

“Can we talk?” He asks.

Cole growls at that and I turn and cup his cheeks,

“Hey come back to me my King, I am yours and only yours” I say to him pulling him towards me and kissing him softly.

Mason growls and Cole smirks at him.

“I told you pup she is mine and it will never be you” He says kissing me and walking back towards the pups to bring them inside.

I watch Mason’s jaw tighten so hard I hear his teeth grind.

“Ari are you okay with me talking to Mason?” I ask her.

She looks shocked.

“You’re asking me?” She asks,

“Of course, you are his mate and I care about how you feel” I say to her,

She looks skeptical but she nods her head.

“Okay” she says

I grab Mason’s hand and lead him into the study.

Chapter 195

When the door closes behind us he spins and scoops me into a hug.

“Sunny I missed you so much” He says.

“I’m so happy you are okay, did he hurt you?” he asks.

His grip is too tight. Desperate enough to make panic flicker through me.

“I’m fine Mason” I say to him.

“Are you going to tell me what you did?” I ask him.

He looks almost confused.

“Why do you think I did something?” He asks.

“I see it on your mate’s face” I say to him.

I step closer and take his hands.

&

He tries to pull them out of my grasp but he can’t.

I watch his memories since I left replay like a movie for me.

Aria crying. Mason raging. Him refusing food. Refusing sleep. Standing outside my room for hours talking to walls like I was still there. Threatening wolves who said Cole’s name around him.

I snatch my hands back anger rising.

“You think I would choose you over my mate?, you think I love you enough to watch you destroy everything. Your mate is suffering”

I growl at him.

“I love you sunflower” he says gently.

“Don’t call me that I snap.

“I AM NOT YOUR SUNFLOWER ANYMORE MASON” I yell at him.

“I AM NOT YOURS ANYMORE!” I scream tears streaming down my face in anger.

“How can you say that?, you said you would always love me” he says hurt.

I shake my head and laugh dryly.

“I will always love you Mason but those are human feelings, Cole is my mate and I love him, my wolf loves him, we have a family

together” I say.
