I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 129

51. A Fight Between Siblings ZAIA. or I Am The Luna Chapter 129 By Moonlight Muse

Rage, rage like I’ve never felt before, burns through me, and it is tearing through every particle of my body.

He killed Jai!

He chuckles sardonically as he runs his fingers through his hair as if he has no care for what he has done, nor any remorse.

‘Well, well, well, the pregnant Sublime leader, not sure if I’d put it down to bravery – bravery or complete stupidity to try to take me up on this all alone.’ He taunts me.

I scoff contemptuously but refuse to entertain him as I unleash hell upon him. Hitting him with everything that I have. He’s powerful, blocking every attack I throw.

I may be stronger, but he has trained since he was a child and it’s giving him the powerful edge he needs to keep up.

‘I should have believed Sebastian when he said you really don’t mean shit to him. Right now, he’s sitting there mourning over his friend whilst you’re fighting alone. Damn, that’s harsh,’ he taunts me.

He’s trying to get a rise out of me, but the rage I am feeling is already at a level that cannot be beaten. He killed Jai!

“If you think your taunts will get you far, they won’t. You killed your mother, and you tried to kill your father! You are nothing more than a ruthless, heartless scumbag.” I hiss.

“Mother? Father? They didn’t raise me, they are not my parents!” He snarls as he sends a wave of spear-like blasts at me. I block them, feeling one nick my hair, the speed making my skin burn as it whizzes past me.

I blast them aside, countering with a wave of my own.

‘Zaia, be careful, I’m-‘

“This is my fight, Sebastian! I’ll be fine, stay with Jai.’ I cut him off. I will handle this myself.

I had arrived too late… a few minutes too late…

Why…

Why Jai?

It hurts because I have lost many tonight, and I don’t know how many people will have lost a loved one. It’s all weighing down on me and just thinking about that number is making me sick to my stomach.

“This is the end for you!’ Zade snarls. ” How does it feel, losing everyone you care for here?” He smirks as I dodge another attack, my eyes burning with rage.

“Nothing you say changes that you chose the wrong fucking side, and this is the finish line for you!” I hiss, the ground trembling as I roar with concentration, sending a powerful blast that makes the trees around us bend from the sheer force.

He chuckles as he withstands it, despite being forced to his knees.

He flips backwards and ducks behind an uprooted tree, but the blood that I can smell in the air tells me he didn’t come out of that attack unscathed.

“Stop playing, Zade! Face me, or are you afraid?” I growl, and my irritation rises.

“Afraid? Not at all… Tell me, what is the difference between us? You are out for blood and vengeance just as we are.” His taunts, only making my blood boil more than ever.

“We are nothing alike, the difference?!” I growl as I block his path, making him step back, my entire body alight with a glimmering aura as I wrap my hand around his neck, fighting against his power.

“The difference is that we were forced onto this battlefield, one that you all have been planning for, for years, not to mention the torment and the attacks you and your people carried out against us over the years!” I snarl, trying to tear into his throat.

I’m getting there, and I can see his struggle as he tries to push me off, but my aura is an iron-clad armour that he is unable to penetrate.

An anguished scream pierces the air, and my heart skips a beat, making me turn.

Valerie!

That second of distraction is all Zade needs to throw me off him, but I counter with a powerful blast, knocking him back as I’m flung to the ground, holding my stomach protectively.

I’m up instantly. Each attack thrown is a blur that can kill if we let our guard down. I spare Valerie a glance as Sebastian holds her, trying to calm her down.

We’ve lost Jai… I don’t want to believe it

My eyes sting with tears as I glare at Zade, who is watching me with a smirk that doesn’t reach his eyes.

‘Do you feel it? The pain of everything being taken from you? Welcome to my life.’ Zade says breathlessly, as he rises to his feet.

For a split second, his good eye flickers to grey before he shrugs, wiping blood from one of the many wounds I have inflicted on him.

Unlike him, I am barely touched. He was aiming to kill, not caring about the harm his own body was being dealt.

‘I see that man was important to you all,’ he chuckles mockingly.
