The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217

Cole POV

B

When I get to my office the guys are all there.

The atmosphere in the room is noticeably heavier than last night. Nobody is joking now. Not even Elías.

The moment I step through the door “What did you find out?” I ask Dominic.

“Alpha Silas said his mate was from a pack in the Northern kingdom and her mother called and told her 4 wolves from her pack

went missing. Vanished into thin air, no trace” he says.

A cold feeling settles low in my stomach immediately.

“Why didn’t their Alpha tell Tobias?” I ask.

“Apparently they did but with there being no trace there isn’t much he can do” He replies.

I just nod my head in agreement. No bodies. No scents. No signs of struggle. Just gone. It’s starting to sound too familiar.

“What else?” I ask.

“There have been reports of dead Fae bodies outside of the edge of the veil for the Fae kingdom” he says. “Also multiple covens

have gone into hiding because there have been witches going missing in the past weeks” he adds.

The room goes dead silent after that.

“What the hell is going on?” Hunter asks.

Even he sounds unsettled now.

“Not too sure, but I’m starting to think whatever is happening has something to do with Dark Valley I just don’t know how” I reply.

At first it felt isolated. A missing pack. Now it’s starting to sound like something spreading through every supernatural territory.

“The two pups that showed up at the border a while ago are from The Burning Sands Pack in the Western kingdom” I say.

“What are they doing here?” Dominic asks.

“Their parents were bringing them here, they were running from someone. The younger pup Hannah has her wolf already so she

may be a gifted wolf” I say.

The second I mention her being gifted the tension in the room shifts again.

Chapter 217

“The oldest Ezra said their mother said to find the lady who’s hair is on fire” I say.

Elias frowns slightly “Lyric.”

I nod. And somehow that bothers me more than I want to admit. Why specifically my mate? Why send gifted pups across kingdoms

looking for her?

“So why run to the East and why not go to your own leaders for help?” Jace asks.

“Exactly. The Western King has closed himself off from the other three kingdoms as well as his own so they probably didn’t trust

him to help” I respond.

Saying it out loud makes the situation feel even stranger.

“Do we know what gifts she has?” Hunter asks.

I shake my head “Not yet but I’m sure Lyric will figure it out” I say.

If Hannah really is gifted, my mate will probably know before anyone else. Lyric always seems to sense things other wolves miss.

“How are you two by the way?” Hunter asks.

I sigh heavy “We aren’t completely fixed but we are better than we were yesterday and we are talking so there’s that” I say.

The tension in my chest eases slightly just thinking about waking up beside her this morning.

He nods his head in understanding but doesn’t press the issue.

I appreciate that more than he probably realizes.

“Dominic I need you to send a messenger to the Western and Southern kingdoms in regards to the supernatural council we are

trying to establish, as well as the Fae King, James, each coven of witches, and the Vampire King as soon as possible” I say.

If something is targeting supernatural beings across kingdoms, we can’t keep handling things separately anymore.

“Lyric and I will take a trip to Dark Valley in a few days to see if we can find out what happened there” I say.

And deep down I already know whatever we find there is going to change everything.

“Do you think that the Fae King will come after his people were killed in wolf territory?” Hunter asks.

“I don’t know but if word is really spreading about Lyric then he may come just to see if the rumors are true” I say.

The idea alone makes the room tense again.

“Okay so let’s think about this for a second aside from Dark Valley at least that we are aware of everything happening had one thing
