I Am The Luna

Chapter 0310 “I understand… but call me selfish or unreasonable, but I still feel like I need time. If I try to make this work because I love him or because someone tells me it’s the right thing to do, it will always eat up at me. Just how his and Annalise’s relationship once did.” I answer as I bring the tray to the table. Valerie sighs softly. “So, you will try again, right?” she asks. I don’t have an answer to that… deep down, I know I love him, but I also know I need time to understand what I want in life and what I am ready to work on and what I no longer want. He broke me into such a state although he didn’t mean to, but he did. “I need to assess where I am in life before I even consider the future,” I reply quietly. I look up at her as she opens her mouth and gently shake my head signalling the end of the conversation. She sighs but nods before she goes to call the others to the table, leaving me there standing alone. I look down at the table, realising I will have to talk to Sebastian and Dad soon. No matter how hard it will be, it is something that I need to do. I look up as everyone enters and smile, even when it’s hard to do. ‘I want to talk to you after dinner.’ Sebastian’s voice comes into my head, and I wonder if he had heard our conversation. ‘Ok.’ I reply as we all sit down.

“Zaia, you didn’t need to do this. You made a lot,” Aran says as he looks at the table. “I wanted to,” I reply, observing him. I can tell he looks tired. Regardless of Agatha’s truth being exposed and his firm stand on doing the right thing, it was still hard for him. After all, he had loved her. “Well, it’s nice, I won’t complain, and it’s been a while since I have had your cooking and it always reminds me of home,” Aran says, giving me a faint smile as he takes a seat with the children on either side of him.

Dad sits next to Sia, and I take a seat opposite him, with Valerie taking the seat opposite Aran and Sebastian smoothly takes the seat on my left. +15 BONUS He isn’t one to express much emotion, but coming from Aran, that meant a lot. Home… The King mansion is now a ghost house, half of it was brought down by Sebastian to stop the Sable from getting in. But with everything that happened there, I don’t think anyone wants to fix it. For a good while anyway. We ail tuck into the meal as Aran asks Atticus questions on how he runs his pack, giving him advice. Atticus being the smooth talker he is, listens, agreeing, or disagreeing, but also giving his own input. I find myself pondering over what Valerie said and sigh softly. Am I wrong? Is it wrong to put me first? If someone loves us, is it our duty to simply accept it? Don’t we have the right to choose if we want it? Once the meal is over, and everyone compliments the food, I get up to get the cake. Sebastian stands up, picking up a few plates as he follows me to the kitchen. “What’s wrong?” he asks. “Nothing. Why would you even ask that?” I reply as I get the knife to cut the cake. “Oh, since you’re here, I was thinking you should take the title of Alpha soon.” “Why?” he narrows his piercing blue eyes as he turns and looks at me with a burning gaze. “Because it’s yours. I have enough to do. I think you’re perfectly capable of running your pack, Sebastian.” I say, turning and picking up the glass cake platter only for Sebastian to step up behind me and place his hands over mine, stopping me from picking the cake up. Sparks tingle through me. “But what if I don’t want to run it alone?” he whispers into my ears, making my heart skip a beat at the way his body presses up against mine. “Sebastian, please, I need to get back to the table,” I say, pushing back against him, but his body does not budge. “And I need you to listen to me, ” he growls, his hands tightening around mine. “Later, Sebastian,

please,” I whisper, my heart pounding. He steps back, forcing my hands off the platter, and spins me around, pushing my hands behind my back as he presses me up against the counter beside the +15 BONUS cake. “Fine, but this time, no excuses. We’re talking Little Fox, even if I have to break into your bedroom and tie you up, I will,” he warns, his eyes flashing silver. We stare into one another’s eyes before he moves away, letting go of me and walking back to the table, leaving me standing there alone in the quiet kitchen… Moonlight Muse Author Hello everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know that with the holidays approaching updates will continue to be whenever I am able to.
