I Am The Luna

A Family
ZAIA.

“The antidote didn’t work, but there’s a way.’ Valerie’s words ring in my mind as I look ahead, shaken. No matter how doubtful I felt, I wanted to believe it was the truth.

Everything… was for nothing…

My eyes blur for a moment as she notifies us. She is on the way. My heart is thumping as I reach for the Moon Dust, pouring a handful into my hand.

My aura is whipping around me, a barrier of sheer power, and everything fades away.

Find the leaders…. Find Zade Toussaint, Gaultier King, and Gerard King. I blow the Moon Dust from my hand, watching as it disappears in three different directions.

“Zaia, we cannot split up,” Atticus warns me, as we deflect yet another double attack.

“I know, but we can’t hang back when our men are out there.” I remind him just as two wolves launch themselves at me, but before I can even deflect them, a big black wolf flies over our heads, ripping them apart with his teeth.

He turns his blazing blue eyes on me, growling.

Sebastian…

‘Zaia-‘ he begins, but there’s no stopping the enemy who has to cross the first line of defence.

There’s a lot of them and I have no time to waste as I strike them down, just as Valerie rushes over to us.

“Zaia! Zion said something. There’s a way to heal Sia, but he said you, Sebastian, and your three children are the key. Atticus and I will

cover. Head back and go heal our little princess,” she whispers. Her eyes blazing as she takes a deep breath.

She hasn’t trained like me, but she knows how to use some of her abilities, although she would rely more so on the gun in her hand.

“What do you mean?” I ask, sending two wolves flying as Atticus engages another.

‘I’ll explain on the way.’ Sebastian’s voice comes as he kills yet another wolf before rushing over to me. ‘Get on my back.’

‘I can run.’ I counter pulling my gun out and shooting a man who is about to shoot Atticus.

He doesn’t argue with me, much to my surprise, and I glance back at Atticus and Valerie. “Don’t engage the other two until I’m here,” I warn.

I don’t need to say their names for them to understand who I mean. I break into a run heading back, as Sebastian fills me in on what Zion had said.

It sounds wild, but he knew they were coming, which stands for something. ‘He was so confident when he said the Sable were coming.’

I murmur.

‘You’re pregnant, yet you’re standing there ready to take part in the fight.’ Sebastian says.

quietly.

I frown as we turn the corner and I shoot a stray wolf that is heading our way just as we hear another explosion go off.

‘What do you expect me to do?’ I counter icily.

He growls, but I am not going to entertain him. We reach the safe house and the moment I

unlock the doors, Sebastian shifts and locks the door behind us. I look away from his incredible body and hurry towards the panic room.

‘So, you just won’t talk about this?’ He questions.

‘No.’ I reply firmly.

I glance back when I don’t hear him follow to see him pulling some pants on. Our eyes meet as he ties them, his head tilted as he watches me, and I turn my back on him, walking ahead.

Dad opens the entrance and I step inside, with Sebastian right behind me. Aran is there too, but unlike Dad, who is calm, he looks restless. Seeing the two in the same small space is something strange, as the two never got on.
