I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 340

Chapter 0340 

The Alpha In Me 

(Takes place a few weeks after the epilogue of the previous book) 

Prologue 

ZADE. 

The screeching of the hinges as the cell door is opened is loud in the cold silence of my cell. A cell with three doors before you reach my cell door, almost as if they fear what I will do if I 

escape. 

I’m the only one here… isolated from the rest of the criminals. 

If I had wanted to, I wouldn’t have surrendered in the beginning… 

On that fateful night, I realised that although the Goddess may have created us all, she had already handpicked the winners. 

I was not planning on standing down, after all… isn’t death better than failure? 

But that night, my entire life was turned on its axis. 

She was there. 

Someone I never thought was in the cards for me. 

The Goddess loves to play games with me, and she continues to do so. 

Even now, in this windowless cell, she is probably laughing at me, and I am a fool to think it all might just mean something. 

For years I prayed and fought for a Goddess who didn’t want us to succeed. 

But it was all for nought. 

Life tastes bitter when it’s one big fucking lie… 

I look up at Sebastian as he enters the cell in his sleek black suit. His eyes are cold, and he does little to hide his hatred. 

It’s uncanny how much he looked like Gaultier, the same piercing blue eyes, the same hair, the same voice. 

Yet they were nothing alike, just like I was not like the rest of the Saintly Toussaints–No pun intended. 

But every family has a black sheep, and I am the black sheep of that family. 

“You’ve been in prison for over five years, Zade, and we’ve come to the agreement that due to your good behaviour in prison, and the fact that you surrendered back then, you deserve a second chance.”

There’s no emotion in his voice, but hatred and contempt are etched across his face, as if I care though. 

I tilt my head, looking up at him. 

A second chance? There is no second chance when the past is not something you can remove from your record…. 

He waits for an answer, but he shouldn’t expect one. 

“You will leave this pack, go somewhere far from here… and live your life peacefully. We will keep a tracker on you just to make sure we know where you are going… but aside from that, you are free to leave.” 

Leave… 

I almost scoff at the mockery, a second chance, yet at the same time, they want to monitor me, like a criminal. Which I am, but don’t go calling it a second chance then. 

But that aside, leaving meant I won’t see her again… 

She despises me just like the rest of them. 

Ah, I’m born to be detested. 

“I will have some money ready for you to take with you that should cover your expenses for a few months until you get a job.” 

I don’t need your money… I need nothing from any of you. 

“A valid driver’s license and a passport will also be ready for you. So you should have no problem with fixing up your life.” 

I glance up, giving a tiny nod, and he exhales. 

“Fine. You will leave tomorrow.” 

He turns and leaves, this time not bothering for a response that I will never utter. 

Frowning, I stare across the dark cell. 

What does a person who has no purpose do? 

I close my eyes, remembering that moment… that moment when she rejected me, and I was ready to unleash hell… or die trying… 

(FLASHBACK) 

“I, Valerie Scott, reject you, Zade Toussaint, as my mate!” 

What game is the Goddess playing with me?! 

All my life, I have done nothing but to follow her will. I’ve seen the books on the Blood Born, and realised that we must do the right thing no matter what… When I was young, I learned pretty fast that questioning her orders came at a price after all… 

But I should have questioned everything… 

I look at the woman before me; did they say your fated mate’s eyes would be full of hatred?
