I Am The Luna

Chapter 123

ZAIA.

The animalistic look in his eyes as his eyes rake over me, the hunger and passion that he’s unable to hide, makes me giddy and I hate it. Why does he have such an effect on me? It hurts and I just wish it didn’t…

It’s almost as if he’s about to grab me and I turn away quickly.

“Then get it tested, Valerie. Can you do this, please?” I ask. She’s smiling, clearly happy as she looks at Sebastian.

She has given it her all to find a cure for Sia and she had exhausted all avenues and had failed. No one blamed her, we were all stuck without a solution but she had been hard on herself.

She glances at me and nods vigorously. “Of course! It won’t take long,” she reassures me. His eyes are burning into me, and I look at the pouch in his hand.

“How sure are you that it’s the right thing?” I ask not bothering to look up at him.

“Pretty sure, but I also don’t want to risk it,” he says quietly.

“You risked everything for it. I really hope for our Sia that it is the antidote.” I say quietly.

My angel has been through far too much…

“If it isn’t…” Sebastian trails off, his threat hanging in the air, waves of rage rolling off him.

Not responding, I turn to Atticus. “Let’s go, we should meet the enemy on the front line… Mr King, please stay with them,” I say, looking at Aran, who has just reached us.

He nods slowly, “Take care of yourself Zaia, you’re injured.”

“Injured?” Sebastian asks sharply.

I smirk humourlessly as I turn my gaze on him. Those piercing blue eyes burn into mine, with concern I don’t need.

“It’s no big deal. I’m fine.” I reply, turning away from him.

“Be careful, they plan to overpower the big players and take over… They will target you both.” His deep, rugged voice comes.

“As they have been from the start. Let them come. My plan is exactly the same.” I counter quietly.
