I Am The Luna

Chapter 0449

ZADE.

I don’t think she’d steal, but something is really off with this entire fucking situation.

She tries to move away, but the man grabs her. “Don’t touch me!” she growls, only for the man to yank her back, about to grab her bag when she spins around, bringing her knee up as she grabs his collar and knees him in the nose. The man splutters as blood spurts from the now clearly broken nose.

Just then, the other guard steps forward, and I intervene, grabbing him by his throat.

“I said to back the fuck off!” I snarl, doing my best not to snap his neck as my command ripples through the air, but I am not their alpha.

Suddenly, three more guards are on the fucking scene. My aura flares, my eyes blazing as one of the men grabs the strap of Adriana’s bag, roughly yanking it back. I turn, ready to pull her free from his hold when a low animalistic growl rings through the air, making the men freeze.

“Unhand. Her.” The guttural growl comes, a voice I barely recognise. I turn to see none other than Atticus standing there with a black towel wrapped around his waist, dripping wet and from the looks of it he didn’t even rinse off properly as there’s still suds of soap on him.

The man instantly lets go and Atticus walks down the few steps, looking Adriana over.

“Are you hurt?” he asks. I watch sharply, looking between the two. Her heart is beating way too fucking fast.

“I’m perfectly fine and was doing fine before you arrived,” she replies, her voice icy.

He looks over at me and I cock a brow, only for his frown to deepen when he looks me over. I’m sure the love bites are still there, with some being a little low on my hips, but if my girl wants to get down and naughty, I’m not fucking stopping her.

“I’ll call you,” Adriana says quietly to me before she turns, shouldering her bag.

Atticus frowns. “You need rest. Don’t rush to leave-”

She simply scoffs, cutting Atticus off before she breaks into a jog.
