I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 284

Chapter 0284 

His words are met with determination, and I can sense their confidence. 

“Well said,” I say softly. 

“Alpha Zaia… A word of encouragement from yourself?” he says. 

“Yes, Alpha,” Jai says, his arm around Valerie. She’s gripping his shirt tightly. 

I can understand that feeling. 

A part of me is tired, wanting this all over with… 

“I know this is something we never expected to happen,” I begin softly, knowing they needed to hear the words of comfort from both their leaders, no matter how hard it is. “But everyone has worked hard, trained hard, and we are doing this not just for ourselves, but for our loved ones, for a chance at a life that we deserve…” 

I step out into the cold as someone passes me a gun and belt full of ammunition, that Valerie helps me put on. I don’t plan to use my gun unless needed, but something tells me I will need it.

“The night is ours.” Amurmur of everyone repeating my final words passes through the wind. 

Jai and Valerie have stopped bidding one another an emotional goodbye.

“What are you doing?” I ask, 

Only for him to caress my cheek. The leather of his 

fingerless glove cools against my cheek. 

“Just wanted to say a word to you…” he says. 

“Atticus-}} 

His finger presses against my lips, and I see the emotions in his. 

“You are the strongest woman I’ve met Red, after tonight this will be over, and you can live in peace.” 

Our eyes meet and I nod. I know I need to be strong, but even then, he sees past it. 

“Thank you, Atticus, for everything,” I say quietly. Suddenly it feels like this is it…
