I Am The Luna

“I understand,” I say quietly. It’s not something I want, but I have to respect that this is what he wants. “Are you sure?” there’s guilt in his eyes as he stands opposite me. We are on the back patio of the packhouse.

The weather is warm, but a soothing breeze rustles the grass, yet it does nothing to soothe the storm in my mind.

“I am. I need someone to keep her safe, Jai, and who better than yourself? Something tells me she has some answers that may help us. We need her to wake up.” I say quietly.

It’s going to be a great loss to have him gone, but… it’s the right thing. “Thank you, Seb… I promise I’ll do what I can from over there. I’ll gather what information I can too…”

I nod. It’s been three days since the crash and although I made it back before I ended up dropping unconscious, I’m healing well.

I also have learned that Zaia has moved to her father’s pack. One of my men was able to dig that up, and it only strengthens my opinion that it may not have been Zaia on the other side of that call that day.

Although I need to stay away, it gives me a glimmer of hope. It means she’s not with him.

“Seb?” “Sorry, I got distracted… go, Jai, she needs you more than I do.”

“And who will you assign as your Beta?” Jai asks. I shove my Hanus to my pocket as glance out at the sky. “I have a few options, but I think I’ll be going with Justin Seagrave.”

Jai tilts his head and nods thoughtfully. “Didn’t the Seagraves initially belong to the Crystal Shadow Pack?”

I nod, “Actually, yes. They moved to this pack over twenty years ago, but still have ties with that pack.” “And that’s where she is…” he murmurs.

I don’t respond, and he grins. “Well, glad you got things sorted, I think you’ll be fine Seb, and once Val is awake, we’ll be back because I know she will want to come home.”

I nod as our eyes meet and although deep down a part of me wonders if she’ll ever wake up, I will not shatter his hopes, for his and Zaia’s sake I wish she wakes up.
