I Am The Luna

Chapter 0002

ZAJA.

The following day dawns as gloomy and dark as the weight on my chest.

Sebastian left last night. I had heard the front door slam shut, and I wonder if he

went to Annalise.

I stare at the divorce file in front of me, five million dollars as alimony. It is not a small amount. He really wants me to leave so desperately, doesn’t he?

I toss the file onto the bed. I don’t need his money. Nothing can make up for the pain of being rejected by my mate. The man I had given everything to.

I push the rumpled bedding back and get out of bed, and stare at my reflection above

my vanity.

Staring back at me is the creamy skin with freckles, and long ginger locks which, despite being hard to maintain, I never considered cutting, because Sebastian liked it. My pouty lips aren’t anywhere near as big as Annalise’s, but the most prominent feature of mine is probably my amethyst–coloured eyes.

There was a time when every man wanted me. At College and University, all the young men wanted to date Zaia Toussaint. 2

My reputation in my studies and as the daughter of Alpha Hugh Toussaint only added to that, I came from a reputable pack, one whose size is almost as big as this one, however, their reputation is vastly different. 1

Where my father’s pack is known for its social status and influence, the Dark Hollow Falls Pack was known for their power and their control.

No one wants to cross them.

I stare down at the papers in my hand.

Placing a hand on my stomach, I calm myself. Stress is not good for the baby. I will

not sit here and weep. I will show him I am fine.

with the uneaten dishes from last night.

“He came late, and I had fallen asleep,” I reply, forcing a smile as I lead the way to the

kitchen.

“You look pale, Luna. Are you alright?” she asks as I make myself some cereal, even

though I have no appetite.

Before I can reply, my phone rings.

It’s Valerie Scott, my Doctor and close friend.

“Hello?” I answer, stepping away from the table and leaving the kitchen for privacy.

“Zaia, I’m sorry to bother you so early. I was taking a second look at your reports, and I want you to come back for a few additional checks.”

“Valerie… is everything alright?” I ask nervously.

“Don’t worry, Zaia, just come see me as soon as possible.”

I hang up, fear settling into the pit of my stomach and I quickly hurry to leave, asking Ethan to have the car ready..

Once in the car, I tell him to drive me to the hospital.

He looks at me curiously as he obeys. “Is everything ok, Luna?”

“Oh yes, just going to go meet Valerie for brunch.”

It isn’t a complete lie.

Valerie is the head gynaecologist at the hospital, and I’m glad she is the one who

found out about my baby.

We reach the hospital shortly after and I thank Ethan, telling him to wait for me.
