The Lunar Queen (Lyric and Mason) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

“I’ll be right back,” I say, heading to the elevator.

“I’ll go with you,” Winter says.

“I will be back, my king,” I say to Cole as he bends down to kiss me.

“I can’t believe everything worked out this well,” Winter says. “I’m happy you don’t hate Mason,” she adds.

“I could never hate him. None of this was on him, and he is with the one he was always supposed to be with,” I reply. There’s still

ache there, but not bitterness. Not anymore.

When we walk into the alpha suite, Auntie Ava is sitting in a chair by the window.

“Auntie,” I say softly, and her head whips toward me.

“Lyric, my sweet girl, I’m so happy to see you,” she says.

I just hug her, healing her soul and body.

“It is you,” she says smiling.

“Yes, you and Uncle Liam were right all along,” I reply.

“I’m so happy for you, and you are a Queen,” she says. “I wish you were going to be my daughter, but having you here as my niece is enough,” she continues.

“Aria is perfect for him; she complements him perfectly,” I tell her.

“I know, she will make a great Luna,” she responds.

“Thank you for healing me; I needed it,” she says.

“You all did, and everything is okay now. Even I, all the scars are gone,” I say.

“That is great,” Auntie Ava responds.

“Lyric, our mates are acting like babies and whining for us to hurry up,” Winter giggles.

“Your father is still like that today,” Auntie Ava tells Winter.

“Happy birthday, my sweet girl,” Auntie Ava says, cupping my cheeks.

“Thank you,” I reply

Chapter 75

“You girls go enjoy your day,” she says, standing and ushering us out of the room.

When we get back downstairs, I notice Hunter has found his mate.

“Yay, you found her! I’m so excited,” I say.

I walk over to them, and I hear Cole suck his teeth. I stop and look at him.

“I can’t believe someone made you King, being this pouty,” I say, rolling my eyes.

“It’s been a year; I missed you,” he whines.

“It will be even longer if you don’t quit acting like a pup,” I reply.

“Men,” I mutter, shaking my head and turning my attention back to Hunter.

“Felicity, it’s so good to meet you,” I tell her.

“Oh, hi. Have we met?” she asks.

I smack my forehead. “Shit, forgive me. I forgot you don’t know me. I’m Lyric, your new sister-in-law and also your new Luna

Queen,” I say, curtseying.

“Oh, Your Majesty, it is nice to meet you,” she begins, but I cut her off.

“None of that. We are family, no need to be formal here-only at the palace around the stiffs,” I say, and she laughs.

“Eli, your mate is walking downstairs right now,” I announce as a beautiful redhead, just like me, comes down the stairs and stops

when she sees Eli.

“Mate,” they both say at the same time.

I squeal in delight. “Oh, today is perfect,” I say. “Four more to go,” I add.

“Do you all need more time, or are we ready to head to the skating rink?” I ask.

“Princess, I thought you were hungry,” Cole reminds me.

“Oh, right. Food. Duh. I got too excited about all the new mated pairs,” I say, heading toward the dining room.

I stop in the kitchen, and Mary begins crying the moment she sees me.

“Oh, Lyric, I’m so happy to see you. I hope this is the last time you scare me that way,” she says.

“Yes, it is Oh, and I want you to meet someone,” I reply, pulling Cole next to me.

Chapter 75

“Oh, Your Majesty, it is an honor to meet you,” Mary says, bowing.

I laugh. “Mary, this is my mate, Cole,” I say.

“Oh, dear, you are mated to the Alpha King. Congratulations! I knew you were meant for greatness,” she replies.

“Can we go feed you now?” Cöte asks, sounding annoyed.

“Oh, yes. Eat, child,” Mary says, pushing us out.

After we all eat, we pile into the cars and head to town for the skating rink.

For now, everything feels normal.

But the problem with normal is that I know exactly how fast it can be taken from me.

And somewhere underneath all the laughter, all the teasing, all the small, happy pieces of this day, that feeling is still there-quiet, patient, and wrong-like something hasn’t finished with me yet.
