I Am The Luna

78. A Chaos Unleashed

SEBASTIAN.

“Don’t hate him, Sebastian. He is hurting. I am not sure what has gotten into him, but he does love you.”

“I don’t care, Mom. We’ve never seen eye to eye… guess I’m a reminder that he is incapable of even having a child. He’s probably simply jealous because in every way I’m better than him.” I say coldly.

I know it’s harsh, but it’s the only logical reason. “Sebastian, you’re hurt too, just… ignore it.”

“If he really doesn’t want me to be alpha, then he can challenge me for the title. After all, I am currently within my rights to be the Alpha. If he wants it back, then he can fight me for it. But from this day onward, I no longer consider him my father.” I stand up, feeling the pent-up emotions inside of me bubbling to the surface.

“Sebastian please!”

“No. I’m done.” I say. I grab my jacket I had removed earlier, slinging it over my shoulder as I leave the room.

I’m getting Zaia and we’re leaving. It was a fucking mistake to come here. I’m almost at the living room door when I pause.

Gerard is my biological father… His words earlier about me being his son make me sick. I don’t want to face him … I’ll call her from outside.

I can’t think straight right now, I just can’t, and it feels like my head is going to explode if anyone says one more word to me. I need to get out of here..

I exit the house and take out my phone to make the call to Zaia, glancing at the lounge window. My finger is hovering over the call button when I freeze.

My blood runs cold, my eyes blazing silver. There, standing in each other’s embrace, their lips locked in a deep kiss, are Zaia and Gerard. What the fuck is going on?

I step back, refusing to believe it. I’m seeing things, I’m fucking seeing things. I turn away, striding to my car. No matter how angry and fucking pissed I am, I can’t leave her. I’ll have security come to collect her…

My hands are shaking with rage and confusion as I get into the car and I’m about to drive off when I pause.
