I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 29 A Single Question ZAIA. Jai tries to cover his surprised snicker as I glare at Sebastian, seeing the flicker of irritation, humiliation and anger in his eyes as he glares at me. “What was that for?” He growls menacingly, touching his jaw. “That was for overstepping your boundaries, Mr King. If […]
I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 28 A Secret Visit ZAIA. The Moonlight Waterfall Pack. This pack used to be the home of Valerie’s mother before she met her father. Growing up, although Valerie and I were from different packs, attending the same college brought us together. Valerie had wanted to get away from
SEBASTIAN. I watch as her face changes from surprise to realisation to devastation. Her heart is thumping wildly as she stares at me, her gorgeous violet eyes wide. She didn’t know, just as I presumed, and I wish I had somehow found a way to let her know that Valerie needed her. Well, no surprise there, fucking up is my forte
I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 26 A Scatter of Pearls ZAIA. “Have I already told you that you look beautiful tonight?” Someone whispers in my ear. My breath hitches, not sensing him coming closer and I almost turn when a hand touches my waist, stopping me. His scent fills my nose and I smile, tilting my head
ZAIA I press my foot on the brake as I wait for the security guards to unlock the large gates that leads to the entrance of our home. Once the large gates swing open, I drive through. “Good evening Madam,” the night security guard says, tipping his hat to me. “Good evening, Aaron,” I reply, sliding
ZAIA. THREE YEARS LATER… I lace my fingers together, resting my elbows on the sleek marble of my top- floor executive office. Scoffing as the man before me rambles on. Cocking a brow, I finally intervene. “Mr Santoni, time is precious, and I have places to be, deals to close, and money to make. So,
SEBASTIAN. “I understand,” I say quietly. It’s not something I want, but I have to respect that this is what he wants. “Are you sure?” there’s guilt in his eyes as he stands opposite me. We are on the back patio of the packhouse. The weather is warm, but a soothing breeze rustles the grass, yet it
SEBASTIAN. Sighing, I strum my fingers on the steering wheel as I drive towards Dark Hollow Falls Pack territory, mulling over everything. Handsome… Why does that feel off? Then there is the way she texts saying it’s too loud for her to talk… Zaia would move away, she’s not that person who would have an issue with that. Maybe it’s wishful
SEBASTIAN It’s pretty late in the evening when I finally head home. I had gone to Valerie’s apartment again, but there was nothing more to find other than what the squad had already learned. I took her phone from them, in hopes she’d have Zaia’s new number in there, but there is nothing I wonder if
hapter 0020 His final words are a command, not an offer, and if things couldn’t get any worse, Sebastian being here is the icing on the cake! “When did that arrive?” I ask as I stare at the unzipped dress bag that sits on my bed. “Not long after you left,” Mom replies, shaking her head. “He had it ordered at the boutique… I knew Maggie was working on an order for the Alpha, but I did not think it was for you. It now makes sense why she has been so nice lately.” ( I shake my head. “And the colour…” I say, staring at the lilac shade of tulle. “He, for some crazy reason, is into you.” “Mom, am I that bad?” I ask, amused despite the situation. Mom tilts her head and wrings her hands. “No! but you’re pregnant! With another man’s children, why would an Alpha… I don’t know, I mean it can happen and you are a beauty but…” She sits down and I’m about to speak when I pay attention to her. (3) Her clothes seem to be ill–fitting and only now do I realise just how much weight she has lost. I feel guilt eat up at me. This is my fault. “You’re right,” I say quietly, looking away and back at the dress. “But he practically commanded me… I can’t refuse.” Our eyes meet, and Mom places her head in her hands. “I’m scared Zaia…” My heart skips a beat. I’ve never heard Mom say something like that before. I slowly kneel before her and take her hands in mine. “Mom… we’re going to be ok, I’m sorry… I know this is all very hard on you too.” She shakes her head. “No, No Zaia, don’t ever apologise. That’s what mothers are for. Everyone will learn that the Alpha asked you to the ball.” ↑ “Mom, he said I should come. He didn’t say about being his date-” 1/3 “The dress did Zaia!” Mom sighs and closes her eyes. Up close, I can see the wrinkles in her skin. I should be taking care of her… not the other way around… “I just don’t want you going from one ruthless alpha to the next.” I nod in understanding. “Don’t worry Mom, I’m not that stupid. I learned my lesson once. Zaia Toussaint needs no man.” Mom nods, but at least my words brought a smile to her face, albeit a weak one. 1 “With Sebastian coming here tonight… It’s so risky. I’m just scared…that…‘ My smile fades. Something is troubling her. “What is it, Mom?” JJ “What if he learns these babies are his and takes them away?” Her voice is lifeless as she says those words, and I realise she’s remembering her own past… When I was born, my father took me away and gave me to my stepmother. With his power and influence, Mom had no one to help her. Luckily, for both Mom and I, my stepmother didn’t want me, nor did she want me raised in that household and convinced my dad to return me to Mom. 1 It is the only thing I am thankful to her for. Even though her intentions weren’t good, I at least got to be with my mother. But I am not Mom. “I won’t let anyone take my babies away,” I say, the power in my voice surprises even myself as I stare at Mom, my chest heaving. I swear if he tries… I won’t just walk away… I will wreak havoc if I have to, but no one, and I mean no one, will take my children from me. 2 A strength I have forgotten I possess rises within me and I stand up.
