The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Mason POV

As I stepped out of the hospital, a weight lifted from my shoulders. ‘She’s something special,’ Kane rumbled in my mind, his

approval warming me from within. And for a second, it almost feels like I can breathe again–like the past few days didn’t just carve

something out of my chest and leave it there.

But all coherent thought shattered the instant I crossed the packhouse threshold. The air thickened with the sweetest, ripest scent

of fresh strawberries, pulling me like a magnet. It hits harder than anything should, sharp and consuming, like my body recognizes

something before my mind even catches up.

Then those eyes-piercing blue, framed by lashes that could stop a heartbeat-locked onto mine. ‘Mate,’ we both breathed, the word syncing perfectly between us. And just like that, everything else-Lyric, the hospital, the worry-gets shoved to the back like it never

mattered as much as this moment does right now.

A soft chuckle broke the spell. ‘Oh, what a delightful surprise,’ my mother said, her voice laced with joy. ‘Mason, this is Aria

Blackwood, Cole’s little sister.’

‘Aria,’ I tested the name, savoring its roll on my tongue like forbidden fruit. I closed the distance in two strides, my hand rising to cup her cheek. Sparks exploded under my palm, fiercer than anything I’d felt with Lyric, igniting every nerve. It’s stronger-louder- like something in me finally clicks into place, and I don’t question it, don’t even try to.

‘Hello, mate,’ I murmured, thumb tracing her jaw.

‘Hello, my mate,’ she replied, her smile blooming like dawn. I’m happy it’s you.’ She leaned in, voice dropping to a whisper. ‘I’ve seen you before, and I always thought you were handsome. But you were with that other she-wolf.’

‘Well, now, mate, I’m only yours,’ I growled, possession flaring hot in my chest. And I mean it without hesitation, without thinking twice about anything that came before.

‘Mason, go show your Luna around,’ Mom interjected with a knowing wink. ‘Dinner will be starting soon.’

Aria pressed closer, rising on her toes, her breath hot against my ear. ‘How about you show me your room instead, my mate? So we

can really get acquainted.”

Her words hit like a spark to dry tinder-my cock twitched and hardened in my jeans, straining for release. Kane surges forward instantly, fully locked in, fully here for her, like he’s been waiting for this exact moment.

I snatched her hand, leading her up the stairs two at a time, her laughter trailing like music. The door to my room barely clicked shut before she shoved me against it, her mouth crashing into mine. Fuck, she tasted like wild honey and sin, her tongue tangling

with mine in a fierce dance.

It’s fast, heated, consuming-and I don’t slow it down, don’t even think about slowing it down.

Chapter 69

I gripped her ass, lifting her effortlessly, her legs wrapping around my waist as I carried her to the bed. I tossed her down, and/she

bounced once, propping up on her elbows with a wicked grin. That giggle-pure, breathless joy-echoed in my skull as the most

intoxicating sound I’d ever heard.

‘What are you waiting for, Alpha?’ she taunted, eyes gleaming with challenge.

I lunged, covering her body with mine, lips trailing fire down her neck, nipping at her collarbone. I paused at her marking spot

sucking hard enough to bruise, and she arched with a moan that shot straight to my groin. The sound goes straight through me. clean, sharp, addictive-and it pushes everything else even further out of reach. My hands yanked her shirt over her head, fingers

deftly unhooking her bra. Her full breasts spilled free, nipples already peaked and begging.

I latched onto one, sucking deep while my tongue flicked the tight bud. Her moans grew louder, hips grinding up against my throbbing cock, trapped in denim. She was perfection-curves that fit my hands like they were carved for me. Like she was made to be right here, under me, exactly like this. I popped the button on her jeans, dragging them down her legs. No panties. Her pussy was

bare, smooth as silk, already glistening with arousal.

I arched a brow, heat pooling low. She smirked. ‘I knew I’d meet my mate today.’

Shaking my head with a hungry grin, I dove between her thighs. My tongue dragged slow and flat over her clit, savoring the salty- sweet tang of her. She gasped my name, fingers threading into my hair. I sucked her clit between my lips, hard and relentless, her screams fueling the fire. She bucked, shoving my face deeper into her wet heat. Kane is practically purring, fully locked in, fully

satisfied with what’s ours.

‘Fuck, Mason, more, she begged, voice breaking.
