I Am The Luna

Chapter 111

ATTICUS.

It’s hard to stomach, but I also know that it isn’t a lie…

Over a decade ago I once learned that my blood type didn’t match either Dad or Mom’s but when that niggling thought that perhaps Mom cheated on Dad crept into my mind, I shut the entire situation out not wanting to be the reason for their marriage to break up by questioning them on it.

But this wasn’t something I ever considered.

Valerie is my sister. It’s like I’m seeing her in an entirely new light.

As she bandages Hugh and tends to his injuries, I notice she has the same eye shape and colour, even her hair colour is the same as mine.

We’ve just returned and she’s tending to Hugh in the safe house.

He’s been quiet since he asked Zaia if what she she really is gone. When Zaia nodded, he simply fell silent… but I wonder how he must be feeling inside.

Zaia is now filling the others in.

“And then… I shot him.” Zaia turns away and I hate that the pain in her voice crushes me too.

I’m stunned at her revelation, and so are Valerie and Jai.

Did she shoot Sebastian? How did she manage that? He’s fucking fast and powerful.

Jai looks pale. Obviously, his loyalty is to his alpha and friend. I can’t blame Zaia for losing her patience with him.

Zaia hugs herself and I hate seeing her in pain and no matter what anyone else says, I move towards her, placing my arms around her, ignoring Jai’s frown.

I love her, and nothing can change that.

I give her a gentle squeeze.

“You shot him?” Valerie whispers. Her heart is thundering and there’s fear and horror in her eyes, as if Zaia has made a mistake.

Why?

“You had no choice,” I say quietly. “What’s done is done.”

“Of course you will say that, you hate the guy, anyway,” Jai says coldly, but I choose to ignore him.

No, I don’t hate Sebastian. I saw him as a rival, but hate is not the right word. But I’m fucking angry at him for hurting her all over again.

I know that father always said to keep an eye on her and keep her safe, but then I genuinely fell hard… back when I would sneak into her pack. I wish they told me more, and I wonder if Mom knew my connection to the Blood Born and all of this.

After all, I have told them about the Sable and Sublime, but not once have I got the impression that she’s known something.
