The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216

“she won’t do that again” he assures me before retreating.

It takes about 30 minutes to walk back to the palace. Curious eyes follow us as we walk in with the two pups.

Word travels fast here and by the looks on everyone’s faces they already know something is wrong.

I see an Omega walking past as we step inside “Julia can you grab us some clothes for the pups you can take them to our room”

say.

She glances at the two pups and nods “Yes Alpha” she responds before walking off.

Hannah immediately watches her leave carefully, still suspicious of every unfamiliar wolf around her.

When we walk into the dining room Elise squeals “Friends” she screams bouncing in her seat.

The sudden loud excitement makes Ezra freeze instantly. His entire body locks up like he’s preparing for something bad to happen.

Until he looks up at Lyric who just looks at him and says something to him via mindlink and he nods.

The tiny movement makes my chest tighten because somehow my mate already made him feel safe enough to trust her.

Lyric sits in her seat and Hannah sits on her left and Ezra next to her. I take my seat as Elise runs over to us.

“Hi my name is Elise want to be friends?” She asks them.

The excitement in her voice is so loud and genuine it almost makes me laugh.

“I’m Hannah” Hannah says smiling. She points to Ezra “He’s shy but he’s Ezra” she whispers to Elise.

Ezra immediately ducks his head lower like he’s embarrassed by the attention.

“That’s okay we can still be friends” Elise says.

Watching Elise immediately include them eases some of the tension sitting heavy in my chest.

“Rhea are you ready to start at the high school?, it’s been a couple months” Lyric asks Rhea as the servants start bringing out the

trays of food.

“Yes I am ready, but what about the pups?” she asks.

Lyric waves her off “We can handle them and we will get a nanny especially with all of us ranked wolves having pups.”

The dining room already feels louder and fuller with all the newly found mates amongst the ranked wolves.

Chapter 216

Lyric begins putting a little bit of everything on their plates and they both begin eating as if someone is going to take their food

from them.

The speed they eat at makes my chest tighten uncomfortably. Hannah barely even chews before reaching for another bite while Ezra

keeps glancing around the room nervously between bites.

Lyric smiles “Slow down little wolves there is plenty more where that came from” she says giggling.

The gentle reassurance in her voice slowly seems to calm them both.

They both slow down just as Dominic links me “Alpha I heard back from a few packs but it sounds strange” He Unks.

The serious tone in his voice immediately puts me on edge.

“Strange how?” I ask.

“I think we should talk in person” He links back.

Zeus immediately pushes forward in my mind at the tension in Dom’s voice.

“Okay give me 5 minutes” I reply before closing the link.

“Love I need to go talk to Dominic about some things, are you okay to take them to the hospital alone?” I link Lyric.

“I’m certain Ellie will be going so we should be fine, is everything okay?” she links.

“Yes, he has some information about what may have happened to their parents” I link and she just nods.

The warmth in her eyes immediately fades into concern.

“Hey Ezra can you tell me what pack you guys are from?” I ask Ezra.

“Yes, we are from Burning Sands Pack” he says and I freeze.

Every muscle in my body goes still.

“What’s wrong?” Lyric links.

“That pack is in the Western Kingdom” I link her.

Her eyes go wide “How the hell did they end up all the way in the Eastern Kingdom and how and why did they come here to me

instead of their own King or Queen?” She questions.

Exactly. None of this makes sense.

“I’m not sure princess but we will find out” I link her.

Chapter 216

But unease settles heavily in my chest because wolves don’t cross multiple kingdoms unless something truly terrible happened, and there’s no telling how far they traveled without their parents.

I kiss her and say bye to the pups and Elise and Rhea before heading to my office.

Hannah visibly relaxes when Lyric touches her shoulder before I leave while Ezra keeps watching every doorway in the room

carefully.

“meeting in my office now 1 link Hunter, Jace, Logan and Elias.

Something is going on and it’s affecting more than just our kingdom.

First Dark Valley. Now gifted pups from the Western Kingdom appearing at our borders terrified and alone. None of this feels

random anymore.

I’m not sure if this has anything to do with Dark Valley but there are too many questions and not enough answers.

And for the first time since the scouts returned from Dark Valley, I have the sinking feeling that whatever is coming is already

spreading beyond one kingdom.
