The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 59

The Lunar Queen

Chapter 59

How the hell did this happen? One of those idiots messed up, I can’t believe I got caught. I did everything perfectly, I thought I covered every angle, overy person, every loose end. I thought I finally got ahead of her for good. “Summer, what is going to happen to us?” Savannah asks from the cell across from me. “I don’t know, I don’t even know who told on us,” I growl. “I told you we would get caught,” Seris says, “Ugh, go away, you stupid wolf,” I yell at her. “I hope the moon goddess gives me a better human than you when we die,” she says before blocking me out, I hear the doors to the cells open, and my dad, Alpha Liam, Mason, and Hunter come in. “Oh, daddy, I don’t know what’s going on. Matthew just took me out of my room and dragged me down here,” I say, “Silence” father booms. That shuts me up-my dad has never spoken to me like that before. For one ugly second, something cold slides down my spine, because even I know that tone means the pretending is over. “Daddy? What’s going on?” I ask as sweet as I can. “Where did we go wrong with you?” he asks, voice cracking. “What did she ever do to you to make you hate her so much?” he asks, tears falling down his face. “I didn’t do anything, daddy,” I say. “STOP LYING!” Hunter yells, making me jump. I look at him and Mason, wide-eyed. “Mason, what is going on?” I ask. “You and these three here hurt my mate,” he growls. There is nothing soft left in his face when he says it. No confusion. No hesitation. Just hate. “Mate? Wait, I didn’t know she was your mate, Alpha,” Nathaniel says “She just said she was a stain on the Beta family and was always in her way, taking things from her,” he says. “Please, Alpha, spare me. I didn’t know,” he pleads. “Oh, shut up, you pathetic wolf. You can’t even own up to what you did,” I snap. “There she goes,

everyone-the real Summer, ladies and gentlemen,” Hunter says. “I am a better mate than her, She is nothing but trash and a stain

on this family. She doesn’t deserve you, Mason-nobody but me does. I am your Luna, I am better than her,” I say, spit flying from

my mouth, “YOU WILL NEVER BE MY LUNA,” he bellows. The force of it hits me harder than anything else in this cell, because deep

down I always knew it-but I never thought he’d say it to my face. “She is perfect-everything you could never be. You were Jealous.

People saw her, and you made her small in a pack where she used to shine,” he says sadly. “If my mate dies, you will die a slow and

painful death, and I will make sure you feel every ounce of pain my mate suffered at your hands,” he says, stepping closer to the

bars with his hands burning as he grips them. The smell of his burning flesh fills the air I’ve never seen Mason like this, and I

admit I am scared. “I didn’t even have anything to do with anything that happened to her,” I shout. Then my dad plays something,

and I hear my voice and hers, and my blood runs cold, “No,” I whisper. “Where did you get that?” I ask. “Your little minions killed

Josh, but he made sure we had everything we needed before he died,” Hunter says, smirking. “And it was everything we needed to

make all four of you pay for what you did,” Hunter adds. “My pup is fighting for her life because you were jealous that people loved

her,” my father asks softly. “They loved you too-you were twins,” he says. “No, HE loved her and not ME, dad. He didn’t even know

I existed,” I cry out. “I knew Summer; you just didn’t matter more than her. You never did. Even when you forced her to push me

away, you didn’t matter more than her. I thought it would make her jealous, but instead, it just made her hate me more. And I have

to live with that. It has-and always will be-her,” Mason says, venom dripping from his voice. That lands uglier than the cell, uglier

than the bars, uglier than any punishment waiting for me, because it kills the only part of this I ever thought was mine. “So you

used me? Was none of it real for you?” I ask, hurt in my voice. “No, Summer, it was real. I did care about you. But if Lyric decided at

any point to speak to me again, I would choose her every time,” he says. “SHE IS NOTHING. SHE IS JUST A SPARE. SHE DOESN’T

EVEN LOOK LIKE THE REST OF US. WHAT IS SO FUCKING SPECIAL ABOUT HER?” I scream. “She is just a better she-wolf than you

will ever be. Pack members love her because she cares. Because she helps them and isn’t selfish. And she doesn’t only think about

herself, even while you tried to make her invisible,” Hunter spits. “You are no longer my pup. Your mother and I hold no claim over

you anymore, and I hope the Moon Goddess gives you everything you deserve,” my father says, his voice dripping with malice. Seris

pushes herself forward. “Father, I tried to get her to stop. She wouldn’t listen to me. I will no longer help her. I just hope my sister

is okay. I didn’t want to hurt her,” she says. My father’s wolf, Havoc, pushes forward. “My pup, it is okay. You will be set free soon,”

Havoc says before retreating. “Your own wolf turned on you, Summer,” Hunter says. “Get comfortable. As long as Lyric is in a coma,

you will be down here. Orders from the king are to let you all rot until she wakes up, but in the meantime, we’ll be having some

fun,” Hunter says, grinning sinister. “See you later, mate,” Mason says with so much disdain in his voice. “NO, PLEASE COME BACK.

I CAN’T STAY DOWN HERE,” I scream. My screams fall on deaf ears as they walk out of the cells. “You will get everything you

deserve,” Seris says before blocking me and retreating, leaving me in silence and darkness. And since all of this started, I have
