I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 131

53. A Moment to Reminisce or I Am The Luna Chapter 131 By Moonlight Muse

SEBASTIAN.

ONE MONTH LATER…

“What exactly does this mean for the world and for yourself, now that your real identity is no longer hidden?” The TV host asks Zaia who is sitting on the couch opposite, her legs gracefully crossed, showing off the smooth creamy skin of her leg.

She looks as breathtaking as ever, her hair is up in a sleek bun, and she is wearing a black fitted dress that only emphasises her sexy curves.

Black is all she’s worn for the last month as we buried countless people.

Jai…

It still doesn’t feel real, almost as if I’m waiting for him to walk through the door and say, ‘Did you really think you could get rid of me so easily? I don’t think so.’

Losing him, felt like I had lost a part of me… I regretted a lot, not telling him everything, putting him through so much…

I focus on the TV again, not wanting to delve in that dark train of thought.

“We were never hidden from the world. Many people who run this country and around the globe know of our kind and as long as we live by the rules like any other law-abiding citizen, then there is nothing wrong. My identity is more than the fact that I am a werewolf. I am still the same person,” Zaia replies politely.

For many, what happened was bizarre and traumatic, to witness the streets being torn apart like that, fighting and death in an otherwise peaceful town had caused a lot of tension between those same government officials and the leading alphas of surrounding packs who were meant to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Not to mention that there had been a few human casualties, too. But now that the world has become aware of us, it is our duty to make sure that things run smoothly from here on. Especially since we all know what fear and the unknown can drive a person to do.

“Do you feel that there is a risk that what happened might occur again? Many people lost their homes and lives. Can we really believe that werewolves are safe to have around us?”

I frown at the host’s question, but the red-head queen smiles gracefully and tilts her head, looking at the other woman, calm and collected as always.

“I don’t think there is a risk of it happening again, however, you ask if it’s safe for us to live amongst you, why not? I mean, there are killers, rapists, and terrorists who are human, but they do not define the majority of humans. Why are we any different?” Zaia counters.

The woman nods. “Fair point. However, the intense level of the battle that took place was not something small. The president said he will be rethinking the laws and perhaps werewolves will have to have a special identity tag.” 1

“Well, that is up for discussion. I am meeting with him next week…” Zaia continues.

I look down at the newspapers in front of me, frowning deeply at the headlines that are splashed across every page.

BEASTS LIVING AMONG US! ARE WE SAFE

GENETIC MUTATION? WILL WE SURVIVE?

KEITH HARRISON SPEAKS OUT – I WAS ATTACKED BY ONE OF THOSE MONSTERS

BILLIONAIRE BUSINESSWOMAN DAHLIA EL NAZARI FACES BACKLASH AS SHE CONDEMS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WEREWOLVES.

I pick up the paper, skimming over the image that shows the powerful businesswoman trying to avoid the paparazzi. Sighing heavily, I toss the paper on the table. We may have ended the war amongst us, but the world is in an uproar.

Even Harrison was ready to drop out, but unlike his son, he had decided to go through with it, saying what Zaia did was for the good of all and he was willing to give her a chance – but he was lowering the promised amount. Although this angered me, Zaia had accepted it, saying we weren’t in the position to argue right now.

Zaia has been busy speaking out at press conferences, meeting with government officials and trying to come to an agreement where we don’t end up being treated like fucking criminals.

Whilst she tries to sort things with the humans, I’m dealing with more supernatural matters. The rogues needed assessing and assigning into packs. The pack in France was without an heir.

There were things that needed discussing. Zaia was currently the Alpha of three packs, but something she said last night keeps getting to me.

‘I will hand this pack back to you before I leave.’

Leave… she’s leaving…

But what more could I expect?
