I Am The Luna

An Agreement

ZAIA. She isn’t innocent; I know that more than anyone. From a young age, she would be cruel to me. When I did go to Dad’s to spend a little time with him, she would let Annalise pinch and hit me, then threaten me to stay silent or say that if I told anyone, I wouldn’t get to come over.

I remember how she’d take things Dad would buy for me and give them to Annalise, and the one time I refused to, she slapped me.

I didn’t say anything, but the things she did often stuck in my mind, and as I got older, Dad stopped coming to see me… It makes sense now, but as a child, it hurt. This woman caused me pain, but ultimately it all began with Mom’s betrayal. The blame game is easy, but there are many at fault…

The silence in the room is deafening as she looks at me, arms crossed – anger etched on her face. I smile slightly, to think that this woman is my aunt…

“I won’t beat about the bush. I want to know everything and anything you might know regarding those who have used Annalise.” I don’t think she was simply used. However, if I wanted Annette to help… 1

“We know nothing! Annalise is just a victim in all of this as well!” she huffs, crossing her arms.

“Then I’m afraid I won’t be able to lighten her sentence. I have been doing my own detective work Annette… and I found some rather interesting information…” I say as I walk towards her and cross my arms, imitating her. My eyes flicker orange as I tilt my head before continuing.

“After a little digging… I learned that Annalise has no right to the Toussaint empire. After all, she is not my father’s daughter.” I whisper. Her face pales but it quickly changes to defensive.

“How do you-”

“Well, you better cooperate before I tell Father that Annalise is not his!” I say, making sure she doesn’t think Dad told me. Her eyes narrow as I smile victoriously, pretending that I think I have won, and she clenches her jaw.

“It isn’t true! She is Hugh’s daughter!”

“Isn’t it? Shall we get her tested and make this public knowledge because rest assured if it comes out, not only will her status drop but you too shall fall from grace.” I say quietly. Her face pales and I can hear her heart thundering violently.

“Hugh- he knows!” she snaps. “We don’t keep secrets from one another, and he loves me! He happily accepted my daughter as his own!”

“That’s good, but it still does not make her his.” I don’t agree with what I’m saying, but it’s the only way I know she’ll possibly help. “And I will be the alpha of that pack soon. I can make sure you have a pleasant life, or I can ruin you all on the basis of how you treated me and Mom, forcing you to leave the pack.”

“Fine. Just spit it out! What do you want from me?” she snaps coldly.
