I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 0231 

“Baby, what is it?” she asks softly. 

“Nothing, relax. Why are you so worried?” I ask, reaching up and brushing the wet locks of her hair back. She’s wearing the shirt I had discarded not long ago. 

Her eyes flutter shut as I run my fingers down her neck. Her face is make–up–free, 

and she looks breathtaking. She’s a beauty… 

I caress her cheeks, admiring her dusting of freckles. 

She opens her eyes, and they are glistening with tears. 

“I don’t know… I’m scared.” She whispers, her voice shaky. “You’re scaring me.” 

She looks into my eyes, and I wonder if deep down she knows… 

“I don’t mean to,” I reply quietly, clenching my jaw as I try to push away my emotions 

that are threatening to drown me. 

“We’re going to get through this, all of this. Together. We are going to find Gerard, and we are going to defeat the Sable. Together,” she reassures me, but I wonder if 

she’s reassuring herself as well. 

Together… 

“Promise me,” she whispers, an underlying urgency in her tone. 

I cup her face, unable to reply to her. 

How many more lies will I tell her? How many promises will I break? Our hearts are thumping violently before I claim her lips in a deep, passionate kiss, sending rivets 

of pleasure through us.” 

One fuelled by a thousand emotions that are stronger than the most powerful of 

storms. 

She whimpers softly against my lips, kissing me back with equal intensity as her eyes flutter shut. 

I’m sorry. 

I cup the back of her neck as I kiss her harder, never wanting to let her go. 

You deserved better. 

I nibble on her soft plush lip, cherishing the taste of her lips, the sweetness of her 

mouth. 

I love you and I always will. 

My love for you will never change… 

I tighten my arms around her, and she grips onto me equally hard. Our bodies are moulded together as if made for one another. 

We were… but destiny has its own plans… 

You are the fucking rhythm that my heart beats to… 

I caress her back, gripping the back of her neck and hair as I kiss her like it’s for the 

last time and I know it is… 

This is it… our final goodbye…. 

We break apart when she gasps for air and I’m breathing heavily, too. 

“Get some rest… it’s going to be a long day tomorrow.” I say quietly, brushing my 

thumb over her plump lips. 

She nods. “I need to go to Dad’s Pack, too.” 

I nod, “And I plan to leave extremely early. There are a few things that I want to check with the security around the grounds.” 

She smiles slightly, my words somehow comforting her. 

“Great, sounds like a plan.” 

“Yeah. Make sure you’re careful when you get to your dad’s pack. Trust nothing and 

no one.” 

“Got it… So, are you leaving really early? I’m going to head out early, too.” She asks as 

+16 BONUS 

we settle down beside one another. I slip my arm under her head, and she snuggles against me. 

“Yeah, I’ll cover more ground.” 

To put more distance between us…. 

“Well, it is going to be a manic day, but let’s do something tomorrow night, even if it’s just a barbeque in the garden. The children will enjoy it too.” 

“Sounds good.” 

I wrap my arms around her tightly, burying my head into her neck. Kissing her there 

tenderly. 

I’m fucking sorry… 

I wait for her to fall asleep, which doesn’t take her long. She’s exhausted from the 

long night.
