I Am The Luna

A Father’s Opinion

ZAIA. “I wouldn’t have expected this from you, Zaia,” Aran says as he sits behind his office desk in the Pack Building. His jaw is clenched, and his eyes are harsh as he sits there, watching me.

“I do apologise, but you have been refusing to answer my calls or to meet me and there is a lot we need to discuss,” I say, walking in and shutting the door behind me. The sound of my heels is loud in the silent room.

“And what exactly do we need to discuss? You have already disobeyed me, and you have been visiting Sebastian when I gave strict orders not to. So why should I bother to talk to you when there is nothing to say?” he asks coldly.

I tilt my head, taking a seat opposite him and I lean back, crossing my legs. “Because you are Sebastian’s father and no matter how much you two clash, he is still your son.”

He scoffs. “So, he hasn’t shared with you that I am not his father?” Raising an eyebrow, I play with a strand of my hair.

“Not his father? How can you not be his father? Yes, he told me you had a sperm donor, but that doesn’t take away the fact that he is your son.

Whether a child is adopted, or created via a sperm donor, any child you take in and raise as your son or daughter is yours. Sebastian is your son, no one else’s.”

There’s a glint of something in his eyes before he looks away and he swallows, adjusting his tie, but he does not reply. “You and Sebastian are far too alike, and that is why you clash,” I add.
