I Am The Luna

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 NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

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…

Η

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.

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.

sigh heavily and look at Atticus. He needs to know so he can at least stop

defending Sebastian.

“We found the location of the cameras in the pack because of him… and we’re pretty certain that he joined them, for the antidote for Sia,” I say.

Although it feels right telling him, my heart squeezes with an unspoken panic,

realising that as I spoke those words, fear crept into my mind.

I’m scared… Scared that one of them is a traitor and this gets back to the Sable…

I hug myself, pushing the thought away.

I’m becoming too paranoid.

Jai looks up sharply, his heart racing before he exhales, a huge grin breaking out on his face as he jumps up and rushes over to me. “See, I knew it! He wouldn’t betray you!” he says, taking my hand. He gives it a gentle squeeze. “He loves you, Zaia!”

He still didn’t tell me the truth…

He still broke my trust….

He still left me…

“He is on our side and when the time to end this comes… I know he’ll be the wildcard we need to win this war.” Valerie says, looking relieved.

Atticus nods. “But it’s something we can’t tell anyone, just in case. Anyway, the cameras have been taken care of, but they’ve tried to break into my pack twice, but they failed. Unlike this pack, we weren’t at as much of a risk, but we are still trying to weed out the doctor or nurse or multiple persons who administered the poison to you. Everyone who took care of you in your pregnancy is being held in isolation just

to be sure…”

“That’s…” I begin, a frown furrowing my brows. “Isn’t it extreme?”

“It’s fair,” Valerie says. “Until the answers are found.”

“And they are being held in good conditions,” Atticus reassures me.

“I understand… and no one has yet to say anything?” I ask.

“No. I need to return and question them under the Alpha command, but I think right now, with everything going on, that I need to stay here.” He says, our eyes meet, and I know it’s because of me more than anything else.

“I see… And was anything else found in Agatha’s room, Jai?” I ask, turning to him.

“No, but the wall at the back felt hollow when I banged on it. I’m having Justin pull the shelves out as we speak. Looking at the house design, there are chances there’s

more behind that wall. Maybe a vault or some kind of hidden nook.” He says.

I nod. “Excellent. And did he question Agatha?”

“He did…” Jai trails off, glancing up at Valerie, who places a hand on his shoulder.

“What is it?” I ask.

“There wasn’t too much more. You can listen to it when you have a moment. Nothing more on Zion, but she did say something to me when I went to talk to Justin…”

“What?” I ask.

Whatever it is, Valerie knows, and she looks upset. She squeezes his shoulder before she looks directly at me.
