I Am The Luna

I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 118

A Secret
ZAIA.

I’m pregnant.

I stare across at Valerie, trying to digest something I thought could never happen again as Jai Whistles in surprise.

“You said I can never get pregnant. My body can’t handle it.” I say, my mind screaming that once again, I’m alone. Once again, I learn I’m pregnant, but he isn’t here by my side.

“I did think that, but clearly your body has strengthened since you have no longer been consuming poison and I think with you coming into power and shifting, it has also helped… maybe.” She says with a small smile, although I can see the emotional conflict in her eyes. “It’s a miracle, but a good one…” 2

I nod as I slowly place my hand on my stomach, very aware of Atticus’s hand on my hair. I don’t deserve his concern…

There’s a life inside of me, meaning I need to be careful. When there’s a war before us, how do I do that?

This just makes me even more vulnerable.

“No one must know,” I murmur.

They nod in unison, and I stare vacantly at the wall.

I’m pregnant…

“Zaia, are you alright?” Atticus’s voice is full of concern as I look over at him and try to sit up.

His hand instantly slips under my head as he grips my shoulders and slips his other hand under my thighs lifting me and placing me in an upright position against the headboard.

“Thanks. Yeah, I’m ok” I reply.

“Any time.” He responds with a small smile. 1

It shouldn’t be any time… you have a life…

“I wish there was a way to tell Seb.” Jai sighs.

“Jai,” Valerie warns quietly.

“He needs to know,” Jai says quietly.

“Now is not the time,” Atticus warns him.

He lowers his hand and sighs heavily. “Believe what you want, but he wouldn’t do this- betray us. He loves you, Zaia, and he loves his kids.” He stands up, and walking to the door, pulls it open.

“Jai, come on.” Valerie tries.

“Jai,” I say, making him stop in his tracks.

“Yeah?” he says and when he looks at me, I see the pain in his eyes.

“Sit down, let’s talk.”

“I’m beginning to fear those words,” Atticus says lightly as Valerie smiles and walks over to Jai.

“Come on…” she murmurs. He sighs again, brushing her hair back, and when she hugs him, he hugs her back tightly.

“Alright, I’m cool. What is it?” he asks when they part, and he kisses her cheek before dropping into the chair he was previously sitting in.
