I Am The Luna

I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 30

A Heated Moment

Her words echo in my mind as I advance on her. “The power! Val!” Zaia says suddenly, trying to push me back as she looks at Jai.

He shakes his head, smiling slightly, but I can see he doesn’t want to be here, looking a tad awkward. I don’t blame him, this has just got personal…

“We have a generator, but due to the number of storms we get around here, it’s only Val’s room that’s powered by it. I’m going to go check on her. There are candles over there… if you want to put them on, feel free to do so.” He says with a smirk as he pushes himself away from the wall and leaves the room. Clearly relieved to be away from the both of us.

The moment the door shuts, I close the remaining distance between us, not missing the way her heart is beating faster than normal. I still have an effect on her, no matter how much she tries to deny it. I can see the same look of desire in her eyes that I’m trying so hard to mask from mine…

Three years apart from her has only made it harder. The dreams and memories are nothing compared to the real thing. And even when she’s mocking me, it only makes me want her more… because that attitude reminds me of the woman I fell for.

Back when I first saw her… even then, I knew she liked me, but she still had to act like the sassy redhead she was. But right now, as much as I want to tease her, kiss her, and fuck her right into next week, I want to know what she meant about our daughter…

Sia.

My daughter, Sia. No matter how hard I tried, I never learned their names. The Toussaints kept their identities extremely secret. And I am

grateful for the extreme measures that Hugh Toussaint put in place for the children and Zaia. It has kept them safe. He did better than I could have… which had been one of the major clues for me that the enemy was not from his pack.

“What is wrong with our daughter?” I ask quietly. She looks away, her hair falling in front of her face, shielding her face from my view. I reach down, brush her hair back and force her to look at me. There’s guilt in her eyes, and frown.

“I… I’m sorry… for what I said, I can’t blame you… The rejection wasn’t the root cause… I mean it weakened me and I was told I will most likely not be able to have any more children but…”

I stare at her as she speaks quietly. The rejection did that. Guilt eats up at me and I feel as if someone just punched me in the guts. I ruined her…

“But it was the poison that left lasting damage to Sia… but she’s strong, she’s fighting, and she is an Alpha blood born,” she says now looking up at me. I frown, “Wait, what? Poison?”

She nods. “Valerie figured out I was being poisoned. The day you asked for the divorce I found out I was pregnant and the following day, she called me to tell me that my body was weak… and it is possibly the reason why I wasn’t getting pregnant… but even after I moved to the Whispering Mountain Pack, I was still weak.” She says, sighing Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“She then had some tests run on my blood and found out I was being poisoned and so that night at the New Year’s Eve Ball, she gave me an antidote from a friend of hers and it helped.” She explains, with each word, the emotions that are spinning in my mind are just becoming harder to contain.

She was going through so much, and I will bet my entire pack that the poisoning and the messages were linked…

“Mom was affected by the poison too and she was getting ill, but luckily the antidote helped and once we were at Dad’s pack, I had more created, using Val’s as the prototype. I owe Valerie so much. I want to help her now.” She whispers, brushing her silky hair back only for it to fall in front of her face again as she now looks into my eyes.

Fuck… not only was she pregnant but also handling so many things by herself. I let go of her chin and grab her elbows, pulling her against me. She gasps, her gorgeous amethyst-coloured eyes widening.

“Sebastian…” she whispers, breathlessly.

A memory of me pounding into her as she breathlessly moans my name fills my mind and I push it away, despite the fact the memory has already sent blood rushing south and my cock is hardening.

“Don’t use that tone, Little Fox, because you know it makes me fucking crazy,” I growl, tugging her closer, so she can feel what she’s doing to me.

She gasps, and my gaze dips to her breasts as they rise and fall rapidly, making my eyes flicker to silver.

Fuck yes…

“Seb… uh…” She clears her throat, her pounding heart only fuelling the fire that burns within.

“I’m sorry… but they are useless words that will do nothing to fix this mess… or take back the pain that I put you through… Physically… mentally. Leaving you to handle the birth of our children alone, I am sorry,

Zaia, for all of it.” I say quietly, my gaze dipping to where she’s biting her lower lip. Another blinding flash of lightning rips through the sky, followed by the roar of thunder and I gaze into her eyes. “Can I have one chance?”

She closes her eyes, taking a shuddering breath as she firmly pulls away from me and turns her back on me.

“We need to find out who is behind everything… in fact, I thought it was Annalise, I do feel she has a part to play but there’s also someone else… perhaps when it’s all over, you can be a part of the children’s lives. But… We are over Sebastian, there’s no return, because even if you were trying to trick or show this person that you were truly ending it with me you still hurt me…”

I know she’s right, that I have hurt her far more than I should have…

“You blamed me for Annalise’s so-called fake kidnapping. Also, she practically admitted having lied about and then at Atticus’s pack, she was talking to someone too.” She adds quietly.

Yeah, I never trusted Annalise. There were far too many discrepancies in her stories. Who was she talking to at Atticus’s pack, Atticus? But I know for a fact that Ashbane was also clouding my judgement at the time. However, I won’t mention it, because it’s simply an excuse for my poor behaviour.

“I know… I know I hurt you, and I won’t try to reason with you… instead, I will show you that Zaia Toussaint is the only woman I want and have ever loved.”

Her heart thunders and I take her elbow, spinning her around to face me. Not missing the look of shock and conflict on her face.

Raising my hand, I brush knuckles over her cheek and neck. Satisfied to see her eyelids flutter shut for a moment, but when she tries to pull away, parting her plush lips to speak, I cut her off.

“Because I know… you’re still affected by me,” I add with a small, cocký smirk. I know the reaction she’s going to give me but I’m ready for it, I’ll rather have her anger than her calm rejection telling to hold hope me not

Her eyes snap open and she narrows her eyes and opens her mouth, but I push her up against the wall, my thigh forcing her legs. apart as I press my body to hers.

“In your nh!” I cut her off, smashing my lips against hers. Pleasure rushes through me as I use my fucking all not to plunge my tongue into her mouth, instead devouring her lips in a bruising kiss.

The scent of her arousal hits me, and I feel her body react to mine. She arches her back. involuntarily. A soft moan escapes her lips. as I throb against her stomach and for a split second her lips caress mine before she pushes me back, reality hitting her.

Her eyes widen, her heart pounding as she stands there looking so fucking s3xy.

“You…”

“That was revenge for slapping me earlier,” I reply, trying to calm my mind which is already in overdrive. She narrows her eyes. “Don’t make excuses. Next time, I might just bite your tongue off.”

“Ah… that’s why I made sure there was no tongue play,” I reply, cocking an eyebrow. Besides… I considered spanking your ass as revenge, but then I remembered you actually enjoy that…”

Her cheeks burn and she glares at me, about to reply, when there’s a light knock on the door and it opens.

“Wow…”

Jai looks between us, his eyes dipping to my hard cock, before he sniffs the air and pulls a face. I suddenly feel a little protective. That scent is only for me.

“Fuck guys, I didn’t expect you to be moving so damn fast.” He mutters, glancing out the hallway. He’s agitated. “Look, the Scotts are back. You two need to lie low in here until the storm calms.”

Shit. No one is meant to know we’re here.

“Weren’t they supposed to be gone for the entire day?” I ask sharply.

He nods worriedly. “Yeah, but they headed back the moment the first signs of the storm showed in case they were trapped. Keep it down in here. Seb, lock the door, I’ll make sure your scents are not left lingering-”

He cuts off when we hear the sound of a car door shutting. “Got it,” I say as he quickly grabs a perfume bottle from his dresser and hurries from the room.

I walk to the door swiftly and lock it. Zaia and I are both quiet as we hear the Scotts enter and Jai greets them faintly.

“How are we going to get out of here?” Zaia replies, hugging herself as she stares at the window. “I need to get back to the children.”

“We wait,” I reply quietly, pulling at my collar.

My clothes are beginning to dry, but they’re beginning to itch. She looks worried as I cross the room and pull open Jai’s drawers, searching for some clothes to wear.

Taking out some sweatpants, I toss them onto the bed as I begin unbuttoning my shirt. “What are you doing?” she asks sharply, staring at me.

I raise an eyebrow. “I thought it was men who have the pea-size brains-”

“Rice. Rice is smaller than peas. Don’t kid yourself,” she corrects. I frown, giving her a pointed glare. “Whichever, but since you’re clueless as to what I’m doing, I’ll tell you, I’m changing, since I’m soaking wet.”

“I know you are! But go to the bathroom!” she says in a hushed, furious whisper as she points at the bathroom door. I raise an eyebrow, unable to stop myself from smirking slightly.

“Oh? Why though? I mean… you’ve seen me naked before… or is it that it’s been far too long since you’ve seen a naked man?” I taunt her huskily and with those words I pull my shirt off, slowly tossing it aside as I keep my eyes on her and reach for my belt…
