I Am The Luna

Chapter 132

ZAIA.

I stare out at the passing streetlights as I make my way to the safe house, one of the few places that remained untouched after the final battle.

How am I supposed to feel after living life hurdle after hurdle, heartbreak after heartbreak? It feels surreal, even with the weeks having gone by…

Sebastian looks broken as he shakes his head and pulls Zion into his arms. “No, son, I’m sorry for asking.”

“I didn’t know… but I can undo the pain .” he whispers, looking at his Dad.
