The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226

Cole-POV

The amount of people in my own kingdom that have been working against me has Zeus sitting at the edge of my control.

Every new piece of information feels like another betrayal.

Alpha fucking Warren experimenting on different species right under my nose has me seeing red..

The image of those bodies keeps flashing in my head no matter how hard I try to focus.

I have to keep my anger in check because right now my mate is having a hard time. Her visions always hits her hard especially when a wolf dies but seeing that little girl and her being a seer.

Lyric looked genuinely shattered walking out of that lab.

Puts another level of fear for both of our girls especially Eloise because she’s destined to be the strongest seer amongst our kind.

And if Warren is hunting gifted wolves then my entire family just became targets.

“Now we know who Hannah and Ezra’s parents were running from” Zeus says.

The realization alone makes rage burn hotter in my chest.

I walk Lyric to the car.

“She looks pale” Zeus growls low.

“We will be leaving soon princess, I just need to give out a few orders” I say to her as she stares blankly in front of her and she just

nods.

Even through the bond I can feel how disturbed she is by what we saw.

I kiss her forehead and close the door gently.

For once I don’t know how to make this better for her.

Anything involving pups is always difficult to deal with but when it hits so close to home it hits so much harder.

That little girl looked too close in age to Hannah for comfort.

“Winter she needs you right now” I say to Winter when I walk back over to them.

“Don’t worry brother I got her” she says patting my shoulder and walking towards the car.

Chapter 226

Relief flickers through me knowing Lyric won’t be sitting alone with those thoughts.

“I need this place scoured with a fine tooth comb, I need every piece of evidence we can find. We need to take some of the bodies, I need Lydia and Dr Stewart to take samples of what is left to see if we can figure out what was done to them” I say to Dominic and Hunter. They have been working in tandem as my Beta and it honestly has been the best decision I made.

If Warren found a way to extract magic then we need to understand exactly how before more people disappear.

“Where could he be?” Hunter asks.

“Not sure but there’s no trace of anyone, I know Lyric could probably figure out what he did with Tabitha but she’s not in the head

space for that right now” I say.

And I refuse to push her any further after what she just witnessed.

They both nod their heads in understanding.

“I’ll stay and wait for the rest of the warriors, and I will run back once I give them instruction” Dominic says.

“You think he would come back here?” Hunter asks.

We all pause.

Honestly after seeing that lab I don’t know what Warren is capable of anymore.

“I won’t rule it out, work quickly and get the fuck out of here” I say.

Every instinct inside me is screaming that this place isn’t safe.

“Got it Alpha” Dominic says as Hunter and I head back towards the car.

And for the first time since becoming King I truly feel like something dangerous has already infiltrated our world before we even

realized we were under attack.

When I get to the car Lyric is resting her head on Winter’s shoulder and crying softly.

The sight alone twists something painfully in my chest.

She picks her head up when I open the door.

“Ready to go princess?” I ask.

She just nods her head and Winter climbs out and sits in the front with Hunter.

She climbs into my lap the moment I sit down.

Chapter 226

She doesn’t say anything at first, she just melts into me and I wrap my arms around her tighter.

“I just want to get home to our pups, I need to kiss them and feel them in my arms” she says softly.

I understand exactly what she means because I feel it too.

I wrap my arms around her and rub small circles on her back.

5 minutes later she’s fast asleep.

Exhaustion finally pulled her under faster than sleep ever could.

“You okay Win?” I ask Winter.

She shifts slightly in her seat to look at me.
