I Am The Luna

Chapter 88

A Small Victory

ZAIA. It’s the following day. After what I learned from Aran, I was unable to face Sebastian yesterday. I didn’t want to talk to him, and after everything, I needed a moment to gather my strength. I didn’t want to go before him and break down.

So, instead, I put everything into preparing for his release. I don’t believe what Aran has said. I refuse to believe it. There’s just something that isn’t right.

Gerard still wants us apart. Maybe being together will help Sebastian. I can’t give up on him. I will NOT give up on him.

Gerard is in prison and that should give me some peace of mind, but Aran’s words have reinforced that worry even if I don’t believe them.

I didn’t sleep last night and for a short while, I felt like everything was spiralling out of control. I couldn’t bring myself to tell anyone what Aran had told me, because I couldn’t bear the seed of doubt in my mind.

I now stand in the council room where I have sworn an oath of truth before I tell them exactly what happened with Gerard and with that statement, I bring forward some of the notes Sebastian had received. The threats that we better stay away from one another… The sinister warnings. The Blood Born and everything else.

I finish with the confirmation of his poisoning of Sia and welcomed them to sample her blood too.

The Sable knew I wasn’t going to hold back; I have openly challenged them with my stubbornness, and there’s no time to lose.

The more I read the notes, the more I look through them, it becomes clearer than ever that they want us apart. They need us apart and with every card that I look down upon; I realise that my decision must be correct. Sebastian and I, need to be together. No matter what.

“We have made our decision, Alpha.” I look at the court members as they stop whispering amongst themselves. They’ve come to a decision.
