I Am The Luna

Chapter 0188 “I can’t! It’ll kill me and my baby!” she screams as she jumps up, gripping her stomach. “What will?” “The magic!” she begins sobbing, covering her face with her hands. “What lies!” someone scoffs but I frown, something mom had said… “Magic does not exist,” one of the court members sneers. “It does… or elements of it do…” I say quietly. “Very well, since you cannot say, that will be enough. You have admitted to lying, causing distress and trouble. You will be punished for your crimes after your child is born… but for now you will be kept in isolation with someone to take care of you. However, I don’t trust you An nalise, and I can’t be lenient.” I say, trying to control my anger. She is pregnant, and the baby is not at fault in this. I have pushed her enough for one day. An nalise gasps covering her mouth. “No! How can you do this? She’s pregnant! What about her baby!” Annette shouts. “That is enough,” I say quietly. “No! I refuse to allow you to take her!” Annette rushes to me, grabbing my arm. “Enough Annette! I was pregnant when Sebastian and I rejected one another! No one cared for my children then! Enough is enough! If the court has no objection or questions, then we may proceed. Does anyone?” I glance at the members, who shake their heads.

+25 BONUS “Your decision is perfect, Alpha.” 1 nod, turning to the guards. “Then please have An nalise secured in a cell, immediately.” “No objection.” The court members say in unison. I look at my phone when it beeps with an incoming message notification. Unlocking it, I look at the

message from Jai. Jai: Understood. Perfect, I will question him. I’m sure I’ll get more answers. “You may bid your mother goodbye,” I say to An nalise, who looks panicked. “Please Zaia, don’t do this! Please!” “It’s too late to ask for forgiveness,” say quietly. “I will have your father free you, don’t worry.” I hear Annette whisper as she hugs her tightly, but I don’t say anything, allowing them to have their goodbye. “Take her,” I order, turning to Justin, Sebastian’s current chosen Beta. “Yes, Alpha.” He’s a good man, but I do plan to make Jai my Beta officially, I also think I can use Justin’s help. Sebastian did say he was a good man. Trusting anyone has become difficult. Once her shouting and screams fade away, I mull over what I learned. Gaspard… what game have you been playing, I thought I could trust you… Now, more than ever, I feel the Sable team were behind that false kidnapping back then. I just need to know how to get to them. +25 BONUS Perhaps Gaspard might be the answer to that… Once An nalise is taken away, I turn to Annette. “Annette. I have a few questions for you. Can everyone please leave? I wish to ask them when we are alone.” “Why! Why not here in front of all?” She sneers. “Besides, you cannot question me when there is nothing you have on me! And don’t forget I am a Luna! Your father will hear of this!” I c ock a brow. “It’s your choice, Annette. You are not on trial. I simply wish to ask a few questions. Don’t make this harder.” I warn. My phone beeps and I look down at it. Unlocking it, I read the message on the screen.

JAI: Gaspard is nowhere to be found, and his phone is switched off. Someone said when he heard about the hearing today, he had said he wasn’t feeling good. What’s going on, Zaia? F uck! I close my eyes. Another traitor… “Gaspard has disappeared, Annette. Clearly, he will not stick around to protect An nalise or her child. He has abandoned her and if you love your daughter, then it’s in your best interest to talk to me.” I say quietly. She frowns, hesitating before she sighs heavily and nods. “Very well then.” She says, crossing her arms. We wait for the room to empty, and when the door shuts, she looks at me defiantly. “Before I even answer anything, you have to promise me An nalise will be taken care of no matter what. Can you honour that?” There’s a determination in her eyes, a resilience that I rarely see. She is an awful woman, but she has always taken care of her daughter. We look at one another and I realise the one thing we have in common is our determination to protect our children. “You have my word.” +25 BO BONUS Η Moonlight Muse Author Thank you for your patience, the last few days have been manic.
