I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 124

A Family
ZAIA.

“The antidote didn’t work, but there’s a way.’ Valerie’s words ring in my mind as I look ahead, shaken. No matter how doubtful I felt, I wanted to believe it was the truth.

Everything… was for nothing…

My eyes blur for a moment as she notifies us. She is on the way. My heart is thumping as I reach for the Moon Dust, pouring a handful into my hand.

My aura is whipping around me, a barrier of sheer power, and everything fades away.

Find the leaders…. Find Zade Toussaint, Gaultier King, and Gerard King. I blow the Moon Dust from my hand, watching as it disappears in three different directions.

“Zaia, we cannot split up,” Atticus warns me, as we deflect yet another double attack.

“I know, but we can’t hang back when our men are out there.” I remind him just as two wolves launch themselves at me, but before I can even deflect them, a big black wolf flies over our heads, ripping them apart with his teeth.

He turns his blazing blue eyes on me, growling.

Sebastian…

‘Zaia-‘ he begins, but there’s no stopping the enemy who has to cross the first line of defence.

There’s a lot of them and I have no time to waste as I strike them down, just as Valerie rushes over to us.

“Zaia! Zion said something. There’s a way to heal Sia, but he said you, Sebastian, and your three children are the key. Atticus and I will

cover. Head back and go heal our little princess,” she whispers. Her eyes blazing as she takes a deep breath.

She hasn’t trained like me, but she knows how to use some of her abilities, although she would rely more so on the gun in her hand.

“What do you mean?” I ask, sending two wolves flying as Atticus engages another.

‘I’ll explain on the way.’ Sebastian’s voice comes as he kills yet another wolf before rushing over to me. ‘Get on my back.’

‘I can run.’ I counter pulling my gun out and shooting a man who is about to shoot Atticus.

He doesn’t argue with me, much to my surprise, and I glance back at Atticus and Valerie. “Don’t engage the other two until I’m here,” I warn.

I don’t need to say their names for them to understand who I mean. I break into a run heading back, as Sebastian fills me in on what Zion had said.

It sounds wild, but he knew they were coming, which stands for something. ‘He was so confident when he said the Sable were coming.’

I murmur.

‘You’re pregnant, yet you’re standing there ready to take part in the fight.’ Sebastian says.

quietly.

I frown as we turn the corner and I shoot a stray wolf that is heading our way just as we hear another explosion go off.

‘What do you expect me to do?’ I counter icily.

He growls, but I am not going to entertain him. We reach the safe house and the moment I

unlock the doors, Sebastian shifts and locks the door behind us. I look away from his incredible body and hurry towards the panic room.

‘So, you just won’t talk about this?’ He questions.

‘No.’ I reply firmly.

I glance back when I don’t hear him follow to see him pulling some pants on. Our eyes meet as he ties them, his head tilted as he watches me, and I turn my back on him, walking ahead.

Dad opens the entrance and I step inside, with Sebastian right behind me. Aran is there too, but unlike Dad, who is calm, he looks restless. Seeing the two in the same small space is something strange, as the two never got on.

Perhaps that will change now.

“Mommy! Daddy!” The twins exclaim, and I crouch down, wincing slightly before I hug them tightly.

“Want to tell me your little plan?” I ask Zion. He tilts his head, similar to the way his dad usually does, but just a much cuter, adorable version.

“Well, it’s not exactly my plan, but the Moon Goddess’s.” He says with a cute pout as he shrugs.

“Oh, and what did she say?” I ask, brushing his hair back as Sebastian scoops Sia into his arms.

“She said the three points of the tiqetra have to join… Daddy, Mommy… and me… and Sia and baby complete my tiqetra…” he tilts his head, staring at my stomach again. “But she didn’t say anything else, just that Sia will be ok.”

I glance up at Sebastian, my heart thundering, feeling hope rise within me.

The Goddess would help…

Dad looks between us. “Come together and try to create the connection that is there already, as a family.”

His words are of wisdom, and my heart clenches at his words. But for our children, we will always be there for them, together.

Sebastian crouches down. “So, any ideas about how this would work?”

“I guess. Just do what feels right?” I suggest, remembering how the Moon Dust worked similarly. “Through touch, like when I touched Atticus and Valerie.”

I slowly reach down and begin to unwrap the bandages I had wrapped around my stomach beneath my top.

Zion nods. “We must make it all better… but Mommy, you can’t be angry at Daddy.”

I’ll try not to be. Although to Zion, I simply nod.

Right now, all I care about is making sure Sia will be alright.

“Fuck! Your twin is on a fucking mad rampage.” Jai growls.

Dad frowns, clearly having heard his words.

“Make sure you don’t engage him! He’s powerful.” I warn as Sebastian nods in agreement.

“I will go. Do you trust Aran with the children?” he asks, not bothering to ask via the mind link.

I look at Aran, who glares at Dad and nod. “Yes, he is their grandfather, and I know he’ll take care of them,” I say softly.

Aran looks at me and gives me a small nod. I do trust him. Turning back to Dad, I shake my head. I don’t like this idea. “But Dad…..”

“I need to see my son… perhaps I can get through to him,” Dad says.

“I wouldn’t keep my hopes up. Zade is not one who has a heart.” Sebastian replies.

“But I still need to try,” Dad replies with a heavy sigh before he hurries out.

“Ok, so let’s do this,” Sebastian says, his gaze dipping to my stomach before it turns cold when it falls on my waist. He moves forward, pulling my top a little higher, examining my bandage over my wound, his hand brushing my breast lightly.

“And you’re fighting like this?” he snarls.

My eyes flash as I grip his wrist and force his hand away from me. ‘It’s none of your concern,’ I say through the link.

Our eyes meet and I look away.

“Ok, let’s do this…” I say softly as Zion takes Sia’s hand, mumbling something to her that makes no sense to me, and she nods as both step forward, placing their hands on my tummy.

“Mommy really has a baby…” Sia says, her eyes. sparkling with excitement. “I’m going to help mommy take care of our little baby.”

“Of course you will.” I smile as Zion takes Sia’s other hand, and I glance at Sebastian who holds his hand out to me.

I look down at it, ignoring the pain in my chest, and place my hand hesitantly in his. The sparks course through me and his hand tightens around mine. I can feel his eyes on me, but I don’t look at him, fighting back the emotions that threaten to consume me. He gives my hand a gentle squeeze, the warmth of his hand feels protective…
