The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 61

The Lunar Queen

Chapter 61

“We all failed her. I should have just told you guys the first time it happened,” I reply. “She was my best friend, and I just wanted to keep her secrets because she asked. But if I had said something, we wouldn’t be here hoping she wakes up,” I add. That thought sits with me every single day, and it doesn’t get lighter no matter how many times people tell me it wasn’t my fault.

“This is not your fault, Winnie. This is Summer’s fault. She is to blame for all of this, for being jealous of her own sister,” he growls.

“Winnie, I want to ask you a question. Please be honest,” he says.

“Okay, Uncle Don,” I reply.

“Is Lyric dating our Alpha King?” he asks.

“Not exactly. It’s more complicated than that,” I say.

“What do you mean?” he asks, with Jace and Logan listening in too.

“Please don’t tell Mason or Hunter. Nobody knows but Lyric and me,” I say.

“He told her the moon goddess told him she was important to him and showed him her eyes his whole life. They have just been

getting closer” I whisper.

Uncle Donovan states, “The Moon Goddess probably knows she will reject Mason.”

“Yeah, I think so,” I agree. Because the more I sit with it, the more it feels like fate already made up its mind long before any of us

caught up.

“It makes sense why you’re mated to his Beta because you two are more like twins than she and Summer ever were,” he explains.

“Yes, she is the other half of my soul. There is no me without her,” I respond. And that’s the part nobody really gets. This isn’t just me missing my best friend. This feels like walking around with something important ripped out of me and being expected to act

normal anyway.

Mason POV

Six months. I’ve been on edge ever since I left. My father had to talk to the Royal Gamma about me because I almost tore the head

off an instructor. I guess they gave me a pass. I didn’t want to come anyway. I didn’t want to leave her. She still hasn’t woken up, and I don’t regret the pain I inflicted on Summer and those assholes who touched what was mine. Not because they didn’t deserve

1. Because they did. Because no matter how much I hurt them, it didn’t change a damn thing for Lyric. She’s still lying there, and

I’m still here losing my mind.

They’ve had a break from Hunter and me, but I know our dads have visited each of them a few times. Kasey knew that picture could

put Lyric in danger, and she still let Summer get it. If she ever comes back to Moonveil, she will answer for that. Apparently, she’s

been visiting her grandparents in another pack. How convenient. She better never come back to Moonveil. I know she’s hiding
