The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72

I release my aura as I walk in, causing all the wolves around me to stiffen. It slips out too easily, like something inside me doesn’t

see a teason to hold it back anymore.

“Baby, I know what you’re doing, but try to reign it in a little,” Cole links me.

“Oh shit, I’m sorry, guys,” I say as I watch everyone relax.

I stop at Brad and Nathaniel’s cell first, and they bow the moment I arrive as my aura washes over them.

“My Queen, we’re so sorry she didn’t give us a choice,” Brad cries.

“Be quiet,” I command, allowing the command to wash over them. It lands instantly-no hesitation, no resistance. Submission, complete and immediate.

“You two beat me and then violated me repeatedly as I bled out. Please spare me your lies. You could have helped me, but instead, you hurt me,” I state. No shake. No break. Just truth.

“Come forth,” I say, bringing their wolves forward. I look at Nathaniel. “What is your name?” I ask.

“Frost, your Majesty,” he replies.

“How do you feel about your human?” I ask.

“I am disappointed. I told him to stop, but he blocked me out. That’s why, when the Alpha and Beta pairs took us to the torture cells, I didn’t heal him unless they commanded me to,” he explains.

“I will release you back to the goddess, and you will not die with your human. I hope your next one is better,” I conclude.

“Come,” I say, and he steps forward. I put my hand to his forehead.

“I, your Lunar Queen, release you back to our mother moon to be paired with a new human worthy of you,” I say.

“Thank you, my queen,” he responds.

My eyes flash, as does my hand, and his eyes turn white before his body collapses to the ground.

“What is your name?” I ask, addressing Brad’s wolf.

“Jax, my queen,” he replies, bowing.

“How do you feel about your human and what he has done?” I ask.

“1, like my brother, do not agree with what he did to you,” he responds.

“Then you too shall be released back to our mother moon to be paired with a human worthy of you,” I say, pressing my palm to his

forehead.

I walk away as his body crumbles to the ground next to his brother.

I then walk over to where Summer and Savannah are in their cells. I stand between both.

“You two were my biggest tormentors growing up. Savannah, you let Summer talk you into doing whatever to me,” I say.

“You bitch, you should be dead,” Summer screams.

The words hit-and nothing in me moves. No flinch. No reaction. That’s new.

“Don’t worry, sister. I am saving the best for last,” I reply, turning to Savannah.

“You sliced my arms with a silver knife. You are the reason I bled out,” I say.

I lift her with my mind, crushing her throat with the wind. The control is effortless-too smooth, too natural, like it was always

meant to be mine.

I manipulate the air into invisible blades and slice her the same way she did me, as she screams in agony.

“How does it feel? Should I allow someone to violate you while you bleed out?” I ask. My voice stays level-and that makes it worse.

“Please, I’m sorry, I was scared of her. I didn’t want to die,” she cries.

“So, better me than you, right?” I say.

“Come forward,” I call to her wolf.

“What is your name?” I ask.

“Nala, my queen. I am not okay with what she has done. Please send me back,” she says.

“As you wish,” I reply, placing my hand on her forehead.

1 separate her and send her back, and Savannah’s body crumbles to the ground as well.

I turn to Summer, smiling. And this time… it isn’t soft. It isn’t kind. It’s deliberate.

“My dear sister, how are you?” she asks.

Elias walks into the cells at that moment.

“Mate,” she says, looking at the door to see who comes down the stairs.

Chapter 72

“You will never be my mate, you evil bitch,” Elias growls.

*1, Elias Blackwood, son of Oliver Blackwood, former Alpha King, crown prince of the royal throne, reject you, Summer Cassidy,

daughter of Beta Donovan Cassidy of the Moonveil Pack,” he declares.

“No, she whispers. “No, my mate was a prince. No-wait,” she begs.

“I’m sorry, I can change,” she says.

“You will never change,” he growls.

“Accept it,” he commands.

“No, I can’t,” she replies.

“Accept his rejection, Summer,” I order.

“I, Summer Cassidy, daughter of Donovan Cassidy, Beta of the Moonveil Pack, accept your rejection,” she says, dropping to the floor and screaming in pain as the bond severs.

The sound tears through the room-but it doesn’t touch me the way it should. Not anymore.

“Good. Now we can begin,” I say.

And as she curls in on herself, shaking, broken, finally quiet, I step forward-slow, deliberate-until I’m standing right in front of her cell, looking down at what’s left of the girl who spent years trying to break me.
