The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243

“Okay, never should sex be that great,” Lyric says as she lays between us in the bed.

We both just chuckle at her.

“I’ll admit that was definitely unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” Kairo says.

I run my fingers through Lyric’s hair and she jumps up.

“Nope, not getting caught again,” she says, trying to climb out of the bed.

Kairo grabs her waist before she can get far.

“Where do you think you’re going, little wolf?” he asks, amusement in his voice.

“I’m going to get dressed so that we can go meet with your council,” she says, trying to move out of his grip.

“Now this feels right,” Zeus says.

“Are you saying it wasn’t right with Lyric?” I ask.

“No, it was. There was just something missing. It was him,” he says.

The certainty in his voice catches me off guard.

“I never saw us with a man,” I reply.

He growls at me.

“He’s not any man. He’s our mate. He’s the only one you will ever be with,” he replies before retreating.

Leave it to Zeus to simplify something I’ve been trying to process all day.

“You okay, my King?” Lyric asks gently, brushing my cheek.

I look at her sitting in Kairo’s lap and smile.

“I’m fine, princess. Just Zeus telling me to get over being mated to a man,” I say.

I can feel Kairo’s unease instantly through the bond.

It’s faint, but it’s there. The same uncertainty he’s been carrying since this whole thing started.

I lock eyes with him.

“l’accept you. You are mine just as much as she is. This is just new for me,” I say.

He relaxes immediately.

“I get it and I wasn’t going to pressure you or force you to be with me. I would have taken you however you gave yourself to me

You are mine either way,” he says.

Zeus howls in delight at that.

And somehow those words settle something inside me too.

“Zeus accepted you the moment we scented you in that study this morning. Me? I was a little slow to catch up.” I say.

Lyric claps her hands.

“And this is how Fate intended for it to be. Us as one. Not one bond but two connections. We are meant to be together. That is why

we are all mated,” she says, tapping Kairo’s hands.

Trust our mate to turn a serious conversation into a motivational speech.

“Now let’s go. We have things to do and no time to do it,” she says.

When he doesn’t let go, she smirks and shocks him.

He jumps in surprise.

“Ouch, what was that?” he asks, rubbing his hand.

She shrugs and smiles at him.

“Oh, just a little electric shock,” she says, running into the bathroom laughing,

He runs to chase after her but she spells the door shut.

“Oh, little wolf, you have to come out eventually,” he says.

He turns to look at me,

“Electric shock?” he asks.

I nod.

“Yeah, our mate is full of surprises,” I say chuckling, standing to walk over to him.

And judging by the look on his face, he’s about to spend the rest of his life discovering all of her surprises too.

“Our marks look good on you,” I say, touching the marks.

He shivers and I smirk at his reaction.

“I never thought I would ever actually be marked and mated, so this feels different. Feeling your emotions and hearing your

thoughts,” he says.

“I barely heard my own all these years, but i’ll admit it’s a great feeling,” he adds.

There’s still wonder in his voice, like he hasn’t fully accepted that this is real yet.

“So you’re not new to being with men?” I ask.

He laughs, shaking his head.

“Nah, and I’m honestly not surprised one of my mates is a man. I honestly thought after my first mate my second chance would

have been a man, but I guess Selene and Fate had other plans,” he says.
