The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

Lyric POV

EXTA

8

The moment he walks out the door I collapse onto the floor and break down. The bond between us feels stretched painfully thin now that he’s blocking me out, and the silence where Cole usually is makes panic crawl up my throat. He’s right and know he is. That’s the worst part. Not the yelling. Not him walking away. Knowing I hurt him exactly the way he said I did. Nova whimpers in my head. The sound is weak, distressed, completely opposite of how my wolf usually is around our mate. I try to link him even though i know he has a block up. Nothing but cold silence meets me and it makes fresh tears spill down my face.

A knock sounds at the door and Joshua and Jonathan walk in. Their expressions immediately shift when they see me on the floo Jonathan walks over and scoops me up and sets me on the couch. I don’t even fight him. I’m too emotionally drained to pretend m

okay.

“I shouldn’t have gone right?” I ask. My voice cracks halfway through the sentence.

They look at each other. “I don’t think the problem was you going Lyric, I think it’s about you grieving him as strongly as you are when he literally killed Cole” Jonathan says.

The words hit like a slap because deep down I already know he’s right.

A few minutes later Winter barges through the door. The force of it makes everyone in the room jump slightly. “You went even after Iris and I told you that you should not go” She snaps.

“I just wanted to talk to him” I say. Weak excuse. We all know it the second it leaves my mouth.

Her eyes go wide “You spoke to him?” she asks.

“Yes I summoned his spirit. I needed to apologize to him” I say.

The room goes dead silent.

“Lyric does Cole know you did that?” She asks, she pauses before continuing “Are you trying to ruin your relationship?” She asks.

My head falls into my hands as the tears fall. Guilt crashes into me so hard my chest physically aches. “No he doesn’t know and no I’m not. I know I messed up tell me how to fix it” I say.

“I think he just needs time sis” Jonathan says.

“How much time, do I tell him that I spoke to him?” I ask

“Yes” they all say in unison.

My stomach twists immediately at the thought of telling Cole the full truth. The image of his face during our argument flashes in my mind and panic spikes hard through me.

“Be honest with him and then never go back unless he is okay with it and he is heated from what happened. You wanted Mason to let you go Ly but you haven’t let him go yet not completely” Winter says.

Her words settle heavily over me because she’s right. I wanted closure while keeping the grief and Mason alive at the same time.

“Wait he spoke to you?” I ask Winter.

“I think he came to the nursery to see the pups but Iris and I was there but I recognized the face and I asked him what happened, he’s hurting and you need to fix it” she says as a knock sounds on the door.

Dominic sticks his head in, “Hey Luna is now a good time to talk?” he asks.

I wipe my face and put on my game face and stand from the couch “Sure come in” I say. Years of being trained to hide weakness kick in automatically even though emotionally I’m falling apart.

He walks in and Cole walks in behind him and my breath catches in my throat. The second I see him my Nova surges forward desperately. “Mine. Mate. Fix this” she whines. He looks at me before he goes to sit on the couch opposite of where I stand. Not beside me. Not even close enough to touch. The distance between us suddenly feels massive.

I gather my emotions as Nova whimpers loud in my mind as our mate ignores us. His face is unreadable but I notice the tightness in his jaw immediately. He looks exhausted too.
