I Am The Luna

“We need to go to Jai!” I cry hearing the feedback coming through the headpiece as I cough, my lungs filled with smoke. I’m scared Jai is going up against Zade single-handedly when Alpha Hugh is struggling!

He’s too powerful, they’re saying after Sebastian and Zaia he’s the next most powerful.

My entire body is hurting from the blast that just took place.

Zaia and Sebastian have gone after Gerard and Gaultier, but we can’t just stay here, we need to get to Jai and Hugh!

I’m scared, scared for Jai’s safety and fear losing him… Goddess, protect him!

“Let’s go,” Atticus says as he pulls me up from the rubble and we break into a run.

“Stop right there…” someone says, and the sound of a gun being cocked makes me freeze.

I stop in my tracks, coming face to face with none other than Daniel, Sebastian’s ex-assistant, only he is dressed in black, with a protective vest on. But it’s not the suits our men are wearing…

Unease fills me as Atticus pulls me behind himself.

“Can I help you?” he asks.

Daniel sighs. “No, but I’m afraid you two can’t go any further,” he says, signalling with two fingers.

Atticus growls as he jumps back, his aura surging around him as the ground caves underneath us, an explosion going off.

We back up as Daniel stands there calmly.

“Stay back, please. I don’t wish to harm anyone.” Daniel says quietly.

“What is the meaning of this!” Atticus snarls.

“I’m doing what is right, what the goddess has always wanted. I’ve worked hard to serve my masters.” His voice is barely more than a whisper on the wind, but it makes my blood run cold, his words ringing in my head.
