I snapped my head up from my laptop to his face. "What're you talking about?" I glanced at the time. "It's eleven." And she left the party a long time ago. I thought she was heading home.
"Have you tried calling her?" I picked up my phone.
"Yes. She isn't answering. I've dropped her multiple texts too. No response."
What the hell?
I tried calling her with my phone but got the same feedback.
"Let her be. I'm sure she's just being silly." I dismissed Nerion.
But by one a.m, she still wasn't back and now, I was fucking pissed.
Where the fuck was she!? Had she gone to meet Zarek or another secret lover of hers?
Kael and Nerion called her father and even her male friend, but none of them knew where she was.
My mind suddenly drifted to the rogue att

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 210
LYRICThings were about to get messy.Here I was, baking some cookies for the kids just before the news of Alpha Miguel's death reached me.Jaris was very furious and set to fly out to the Alpha's pack. Last night, he'd given me a highlight of what the problem was. Now, with the high-ranking Alpha dead, it wasn't looking good, especially with Jaxen being the suspect.I intended to go with Jaris and decided to quickly serve the cookies to the kids before getting ready.Fortunately, their problematic mother wasn't in when I entered, only their nannies. Jaris told me he'd managed to speak with the kids last night and was even the one that suggested giving something to them this morning.They were getting ready for school and all stopped to look at me when I entered."Hey!" I beamed, ignoring how hurt I was from the fact that th
The Rise Of The Ugly Luna 209
JARISThe argument lasted for sometime with people from the low ranks throwing words against the high ranks. When I'd had enough, I signaled them to stop talking."Miguel," I called the high-ranking Alpha involved. "You do realize that Jaxen's family worked hard for this company, don't you? If the roles were reversed and you had to give it up—something you've worked so hard for—would you be happy about it?"He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "My King, I perfectly understand your point. And truly, a part of me feels bad that I'm taking this from him. But it's my inheritance. Mg father was a clueless man who didn't know how to work hard for something, and instead, gave it away. Now I want it back. I even told Jaxen he has the right to demand for something higher if he doesn't like what I'm offering. I think I'm being considerate enough.""Oh, fuck you and you consider

LYRIC My eyes widened like saucers, shock sizzling through me. What in Moon's name has Marta done to these kids?"You should know you're special to me. If I had even the slightest idea that your daddy was supposed to go somewhere with you two, I never would've let him stay with me. I promise I didn't know. I'd never do anything to hurt you two.""We don't believe you," Xyla folded her hands with a huff. "All this time, we thought you were good."Taking Xylon's hand, she walked off. I thought of going after them but was too weak to. Too heartbroken. What exactly did I do to deserve this?****†† JARIS My forehead crinkled in a fusion of disbelief and irritation as I read through the letter. It was the second one I was reading concerning this very matter, and the shock that filled me up could not be compared to nothing. I dropped the letter when I finished and looked up at Kael to see he was just as disturbed as I was. "This real? There was really a fight between them?"

JARIS At first, I felt nothing, my mind numb. Then, a small laughter slipped through, followed by a bigger one."Lyric," I repeated, still laughing.Then, just like a switch had been turned off, I stopped abruptly. "Why don't you tell me, which part of your brain has been affected? Is it terminal? Are you going to die? Oh, I hope you do die 'cause your brain is definitely tired of working.""I'm serious," Caden said."And I was serious when I said I hope you do die."A brief moment of silence, followed by an atmosphere thick with tension. "I need her," he sighed. "I've been searching for her for years and didn't know she was your mate this whole time. I'm trying to make this as peaceful as I can. Hand her over, and you'll never hear from me again.""Too bad that is never happening," I tsked. "As a matter of fact, you're an asshole for even spitting this trash. How possible do you think it is that I'd gladly hand Lyric to you? You mention her name one more time, and I'll damn t

JARIS I didn't know his name, but he did work for me six years ago. He quit the job a few months later.So, one of my staff had lied against me to push Lyric away? I knew there was no way this staff would've done this on his own. Somebody must've definitely asked him to."I'll have him found and questioned," I told Lyric as I put the envelope back away."Is it really necessary? I mean, we're already together, right? Shouldn't we just let the past be?""No," my tone came out harsher than intended. "This son of a bitch is the reason we got separated for six years. If we'd been together, I'd have taken good care of you and the babies. Who knows, they might've survived. You wouldn't have gotten into trouble by awakening Caden. Do you understand that a lot of things wouldn't have been happening right now?"She nodded, clearly seeing my point.I hope to the moon there are people around when I find out who this person is, because there was no telling what I'd do to them.****†****†

MARTAThe mirth was gone from her face. She looked vicious now as she stepped toward me."You think I don't see what you're doing? You probably forced yourself on Jaris and quickly took in for him. All for what? To secure your spot beside him? Well, guess who's still Queen, Lyric."I laughed in her face. "Oh, poor Marta." I tsked. "Stupid Marta. Always thinking everything's a competition. What Jaris and I share is special and something I'll never call a competition. Sadly, it's also something you'll never be able to understand as you've hardly ever been in love."The thought struck me, furrowing my brows. "Have you ever been in love, Marta?"The further crumbling of her mask said it all."Good gods," I muttered, faking pity. "You've never actually been loved by someone. Your whole life, you've only wanted a man who has never really wanted you. A man who only made you Grand Luna 'cause he chose his kids. And despite being grand Luna, you're still insecure because you know you'll
