I Am The Luna

Chapter 28

A Secret Visit

ZAIA.

The Moonlight Waterfall Pack. This pack used to be the home of Valerie’s mother before she met her father. Growing up, although Valerie and I were from different packs, attending the same college brought us together.

Valerie had wanted to get away from everything after her mother’s death, wanting to just be in a new place so she could heal.

The Moonlight Waterfall Pack is small, and it usually avoids making enemies. It took me over three hours to drive from my pack to get here. I’ve come alone, not wanting anyone to know, aside from Mom. Telling her I’ll be back late in the evening.

No one, including my guards, knew I’ll be leaving the pack territory. I’ve donned a wig and am driving a rental car that I booked in the name of one of our staff. I’m now waiting for someone to go collect Jai, as I wait at pack borders.

I have parked my car in the visitors’ parking lot. I’m now waiting by the side of the building where the guard is watching me with interest. I sigh heavily, remembering Atticus’ proposal last night.
