The Rise Of The Ugly Luna novel Chapter 209

Chapter 209

JARIS

The 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 considerations, Miguel,” Jaxen spat. “You’re not getting a thing that belongs to me! Over my dead body!”

“Why do we even have this ranks dividing us?” A low–ranking Alpha said. “I mean, were all leaders here. Why can’t we all be equal?”

“I bet you wouldn’t say this if you’re on the high side,“. someone snickered.

A full–blown argument ensued from this, one that caused me a migraine.

“Enough!” I hit my hand on the table, shutting them up. “Alpha Jaxen, Alpha Miguel, I’ve heard your complaints. Now I’ll need some time to go over this and come up with the best solution. So, I’ll implore you, go home and wait for me. No more bloodshed, otherwise, the consequences will be immediate.”

The meeting finally came to an end, but the burden was not lifted off my shoulder. Coming up with a solution would be difficult. If I were to do the right thing, then it was only right for Miguel to reclaim the land. But in what world was that fair?

My head was aching. I needed Lyric.

I went for her room but couldn’t find her in. Tried calling her line, only to discover it was left in the room. Where did she go without her phone?

I started making calls, trying to see if anyone knew where she was, but nobody was with her.

These days, I tend to act irrationally when Lyric was involved, especially when there was even the slightest chance she might be in danger.

Information reached me from the gate that they’d seen her driving out. I didn’t waste any time as I headed out, driving in my car to look for her.

Jace and Kael joined in the search in a separate car, but apparently, we didn’t even need to go far. We found her seated by the roadside, in a bus station.

I alighted the car and ran to her, my heart hurting from the steep descent of deep relief.

What the hell was she doing out here?! Wearing something this light in this weather?!

LYRIC

I sprang to my feet when I saw Jaris approaching, How did he find me so fast? I was really hoping I’d spend some alone time here.

“Hey,” My voice came out fragile despite my effort.

“What’re you doing here, Lyric? Why didn’t you take your phone with you, at least? Do you know how worried I was?” He snapped as he looked around, as if looking for any sign of danger.

“I’m–I’m sorry,” I shook my head, my eyes dropping to the floor. “I didn’t think you’d be done with the meeting so soon.*

He gave me a long stare and seemed a little calm. “Why are you out here alone? It’s late.

My heart ached from the recollection of the incident that led me here. Just thinking about it brought tears to my eyes.

Luna Isolde knocking on my door, her hateful eyes and venomous words, “It was a huge mistake letting you get mated to my son, I want you out, Lyt Take your cursed child and leave!”

“Are you okay? Jaris came closer, holding my arm.

I tried to force a smile. “Of course. I just wanted to get some air. I was… honestly bored of being there alone.”

“You should’ve sent me a message, then. All you had to say was ‘hey, Jaris, I’m kinda lonely she feel like I’m dying without you.” Sure, I’d have come running.”

I burst out laughing.

He helped me sit back on the bench, then sat beside me. We spent some time together, talking and laughing about the commonest things.
