I Am The Luna

| Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 29 A Single Question ZAIA. Jai tries to cover his surprised snicker as | 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 you don’t wish to be slapped again, remember personal space exists,” | reply icily.

My eyes flash orange as | glare up at the man that is now looking down atwith dangerously cold eyes. “You were checkingout when | entered.” He snarls, menacingly. | scoff and look at him scornfully.

“Really? So just because | was surprised at the fact that you're not as buff as you were several years ago, you thought you could just say, and do as you wish?” | reply in disbelief, hoping he bought my lie.

He cocks a brow as he slams his hand against the wall, cagingin between his arms. My heart thumps and | hate how my pussy clenches.

Focus, Zaia. “We both know that’s a lie.” He replies arrogantly. “Oh please, don’t get ahead of yourself.” | shoot back. | cannot let him know he’s getting to me! He smirks, “So tell me, what bothered you was it that | called you a good girl... correct, then are you a bad girl, Zaia?” My cheeks burn, remembering Jai is right there, listening to us.

“No, but if you keep stepping into my personal space, you will end up becoming a girl too, good girl or bad girl.

That will be your choice.” He cocks a brow, and | frown. “Since you'll be lacking a dick when I'm done with you?” | explain myself, speaking extremely slowly, making Jai burst into laughter. [x] “Damn, what's the plan, cutting his dick off or ripping it off?” He says through his laughter. “I might let Sebastian choose. | reply, pushing the soaking man away from me.

It already feels hot in here and | hate how my heart is feeling funny about his close proximity. | becserious, waiting for Jai to stop laughing before | look between them.

“Why are you here, Sebastian?” | ask quietly. “I want the truth, nothing more, nothing less. Stop playing games, it’s been three years... letlive.” His gaze dips to my hand and he frowns deeply before he nods.

“As | said, | wanted to talk to you,” he says. Without anyone knowing I'm here, everyone believes I've gone to another state for a business meeting, and | want to keep it that way.” “Why the secrecy?” | ask, crossing my arms and turning away from him. His intense gaze is becoming too much.

My arm brushes his chest, but | refuse to look at him.

“Because | was and still am, being blackmailed.” | can’t help but look at him sharply at those words, my heart thumping a little faster.

His brilliant blue eyes meet mine and | open my mouth, not even sure what | am going to say when my gaze flits to the bed. It can’t all be a coincidence. The way Jai explained seeing someone in Valerie's room, and then the email...

“Let’s take this to my room. Let's give Val a break from all the shouting,” Jai says, motioning for us to follow him.

I look at her lying on the bed and, walking over; adjust her position, placing her hand straight. | hope she isn't uncomfortable. | give her hand a gentle squeeze.

| promise you, Val, | am going to find a way to wake you up. | will. Sebastian picks up his jacket, brushing his wet hair back and | hate that he looks even sexier now. | wasn’t wrong for thinking that at the hotel last night.

| look away quickly, not wanting to be caught checking him out again, and after grabbing my wig and bag, | follow Jai to the room next door and step inside.

It’s fairly clean, a large bed sits against one wall. There's a two-seater sofa with a television and a PlayStation by the window. A door leads off to what | can see is a bathroom.

| perch against the dresser as Sebastian walks in and Jai throws him a towel. “You're going to catch a cold man.” “No, | won't,” Sebastian says, wiping his face and tossing the towel onto the sofa.

| cock a brow about to speak when a blinding flash of lightning makeslook out of the window instead. The room instantly becomes darker.

“Ah, the weather got worse...” Jai grumbles. “You will get ill, because you're an alpha doesn’t mean you won't,” | say curtly, tossing my hair.

“Are you worried for me?” comes his cocky reply. “Not at all. | won’t mind seeing you dead.” | say, instantly remembering my little ones.

No, | don’t wish you dead... | hope one day you'll be able to acknowledge them, and I'll be able to accept that, too. Even if you hurt me, you are their father. | look away as a tense silence falls between us, and Jai clears his throat.

“Sebastian... Why don’t you start at the very beginning?” He suggests.

Sebastian nods before he walks over to a briefcase that sits on the table, one | hadn't even noticed when | entered and unlocks it.

“It all started back when we were still together, in the form of messages.” He says, taking out a few cards and holding them out to me. | frown as | take them from him.

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR LUNA'S GUTS ARE STREWN ACROSS THE ENTIRE PACK TERRITORY? UNPLEASANT RIGHT? THEN GET RID OF HER.

My stomach drops ominously as | skim through the rest. Swere less disturbing, and others spoke of something about my truth, whatever that was and others were threats to Sebastian to get rid ofor they will do it for Sebastian and then spromising not to touchif he divorced me....

My head is spinning as | flip through the messages, faster and faster. There are photographs, several of my birthmark. What is its significance? What on earth....

My heart keeps thumping as | see pictures ofand the kids. Even though these are blurrier, they are clear warnings to Sebastian.

JUST POPPING IN TO TELL YOU | HAVEN'T SHREDDED THOSE KIDS INTO MINCE MEAT YET! THEY STAY ALIVE AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR DISTANCE! Another picture of Zion eating ice cream, and | recognise it, it's only from a few months ago. Again, the image is extremely blurry and clearly taken from afar, but even | know that there are long-range weapons.

He could be harmed from far too.

DOESN'T THAT LITTLE CUTIE LOOK LIKE YOU? HE'S CUTE EATING THAT ICE CREAM, ABIDE BY MY RULES SK AND THERE WON'T BE ANY EXPLOSION OF BLOOD AND GUTS! | turn away, tossing the cards at him. My head is squeezing, and my stomach is twisting. | feel sick.

“My children are being threatened, and I didn’t know?” | whisper. “What if they get harmed because we are meeting!” I'm terrified. What if something happens to them today? “They are safe. | know for a fact we have managed to pull one over him. He has no idea I'm here.” Sebastian says quietly yet firmly as he places the cards and photographs back in the briefcase.

He begins tellingexactly how the messages started, and how he didn’t know what to do. How he didn’t think much of the first couple, ignoring them at first, but then when they becmore disturbing, how he tried to find out who was behind it and failed.

Then when the threats becworse, and Annalise had returned, he decided to use her as a pretence and decided to orchestrate our divorce only forto accept it. Something he didn’t expectto do.

| scoff, looking at him in the dark room as Jai pulls the blinds shut and switches the light on. The storm is pounding against the window, and | shake my head..

“Sebastian. You chose Annalise before you knew we were mates. It was her that you picked, remember? Of course, if you take your ex back and also accuseof having her taken care of, | will reject you. Do you think | have no pride? That | was going to simply stand by and take it?” | ask, pulling my jacket off. | feel hot and irritated, and my anger is only rising at the idiocy of the man before me.

“We were mates. One would presyou would care enough to try to stick around.” He says icily, and | close my eyes. Men are dumb. | don’t know if it’s his ego, arrogance, or plain stupidity.

Honestly, when the goddess made Alphas, she gifted them with amazing looks, incredible sex drives, and power.

But in the brain cell department? They are lacking greatly! “The goddess didn’t make Lunas to be the other half of their Alphas.... She gifted them Lunas to make up for their rice grain-sized brains!” | snap. “The only thing I'm getting from this entire mess is one question,” | say, my eyes flashing.

Sebastian frowns as he stares atarrogantly. “And what may that be? Since you're oh so smart, I'd have assumed you'd know the answer to everything.” He retorts. The urge to smack him across the head is tempting, but instead, | ball my fists and glare at him.

“I'm afraid my brain doesn’t process stupidity.” My question is: why didn’t you tell me? | get that someone was watching us, but surely you had at least a moment alone where you could have whispered the truth to me!” | exclaim.

The pain in my chest is growing and a thousand emotions are consuming me, but above all, all | can think of is my babies.

“Zaia...” “Don’t Zaia me! if we didn’t reject one another, my little Sia would not be going through what she is today!” | say, my sharp voice breaking, the words spilling from my lips before | can stop them. I regret it.

Because he is now looking atwith a deadly look that makesshiver. He now stands up, but before he can even speak, a flash of lightning seeps through the blinds.

Suddenly the lights go off as the resounding crack of thunder fills the now silent room as he advances onlike a predator ready to kill... 3
