I Am The Luna

A Small Victory

ZAIA. It’s the following day. After what I learned from Aran, I was unable to face Sebastian yesterday. I didn’t want to talk to him, and after everything, I needed a moment to gather my strength. I didn’t want to go before him and break down.

So, instead, I put everything into preparing for his release. I don’t believe what Aran has said. I refuse to believe it. There’s just something that isn’t right.

Gerard still wants us apart. Maybe being together will help Sebastian. I can’t give up on him. I will NOT give up on him.

Gerard is in prison and that should give me some peace of mind, but Aran’s words have reinforced that worry even if I don’t believe them.

I didn’t sleep last night and for a short while, I felt like everything was spiralling out of control. I couldn’t bring myself to tell anyone what Aran had told me, because I couldn’t bear the seed of doubt in my mind.

I now stand in the council room where I have sworn an oath of truth before I tell them exactly what happened with Gerard and with that statement, I bring forward some of the notes Sebastian had received. The threats that we better stay away from one another… The sinister warnings. The Blood Born and everything else.

I finish with the confirmation of his poisoning of Sia and welcomed them to sample her blood too.

The Sable knew I wasn’t going to hold back; I have openly challenged them with my stubbornness, and there’s no time to lose.

The more I read the notes, the more I look through them, it becomes clearer than ever that they want us apart. They need us apart and with every card that I look down upon; I realise that my decision must be correct. Sebastian and I, need to be together. No matter what.

“We have made our decision, Alpha.” I look at the court members as they stop whispering amongst themselves. They’ve come to a decision.

“As a combined decision, we have come to the agreement that Alpha Sebastian/may be acquitted from prison and that you, Alpha Zaia, will not be held responsible for the events that led to Alpha Gerard King’s injury.” The man speaks clearly, glancing at the audience.

“However, we hope that you, Alpha Zaia, will make sure that you reach out to his pack and family to explain exactly what happened because we cannot afford to be at odds with his pack. Further action can only be taken once he is awake.” He finishes.

“Understood, and thank you,” I say, feeling a wave of relief rush over me. “No, we thank you for allowing us to judge this despite you being our leader.” They nod their heads in unison and I smile gently.
