I Am The Luna

Chapter 62

HUGH. I look across at her. My head is bursting with incessant throbbing. I have drunk far too much, but even then; it was not enough to drown out the suffering within my mind.

The turmoil of the past and present mix into one bubbling stew that is ready to explode. What exactly did I do for the world and the Goddess if she is up there to work against me time and time again? “Dad…”

She brings me from my train of thought, and I suck in a slow breath as I look at her. She is nothing like her mother. I am truly proud of her.

“There’s far too much to share, Zaia.” “I’m ready to hear it. You have been here for me father, let me be here for you.”

I sigh heavily. Never have I felt so tired of carrying these secrets. “The beginning,” I say as I tug free from her hold and stand up. “The beginning…”

I walk towards the window and stare out at the moon. Do I tell her? There is so much that this might change…

“Zaia… there is no turning back from here. If I tell you the truth, then-”

“I’m ready for it,” I say quietly. Am I wrong to tell her? But if something happens to me… she should know the reality.

“Very well then, I swear that everything I say is nothing but the truth. But I want you to remember that regardless of what I tell you, it should not affect the way you see things and… it remains between us.”

“Ok…” She sounds worried and I look up at the moon. It’s glowing brightly, almost soothing

It’s time to share the burden that has been on my mind for years. The mistakes I’ve made, the betrayal I was dealt, the sins I’ve committed… it is all becoming too much.

“I will go back to when it all began when everything was perfectly fine. When I was happy and content with my mother. I didn’t expect things to change overnight, but that’s just how life deals its blows… When you least expect it.” I begin, memories of the past begin to cloud my mind… Will it change things between us?

“You probably don’t know this, since I’m certain you would have mentioned it if your mother had told you… but… I had a brother, he was a few years older than me…”

She gasps, and I try to remain emotionless. “No, Mom’s never mentioned that.” She murmurs. “So, she didn’t.” I can’t help but smile bitterly.

Why does it still hurt? I nod slowly. “Well… his name was Adam, and he was all set to become the future Alpha.”
