I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 0348 

VALERIE. 

My heart thunders as I look around the apartment. Did the generator’s fuse blow? 

I have half an urge to open the door and to look down below to see if someone’s going to do something about it, but not after what just happened with Zade. 

I look around. Flashes of the night when I was attacked in my apartment years ago return to me again, playing like a movie at the forefront of my mind. 

It’s a trauma I never got over, something that cost me years of my life. I could have died… I still have the scars on my scalp where I had been bludgeoned. 

I may be a doctor. I’ve seen things at hospitals that make my stomach churn, things I will not forget, but being in that situation is different… 

Zade’s face comes into my mind, and oddly, I’m pulled from my train of thought. I inhale and exhale slowly, running my hand through my hair shakily. 

The past is in the past… I won’t delve into it. 

I can hear some commotion below and shake my head as I lock the door and walk to the bathroom to rinse the coffee off my legs. 

‘Don’t test me…” 

His words repeat in my mind, and I frown slightly. 

What does that even mean? 

My stomach somersaults at the thought of how he was holding me… the way he was so close… 

I close my eyes, placing my hand on my chest as I slowly sit on the edge of the tub, swinging my legs into it. 

Focus… 

I glance around the dark room, which is almost pitch black, as the window in here is tiny. 

Lucky for me, I’m a werewolf and having no electricity doesn’t matter when I can see in the dark. 

I turn the tap on as I rinse off, trying to calm the emotions in my chest. 

Zade Toussaint is bad news, and maybe he was staying here before me, but that 

doesn’t mean I should continue to stay here. Maybe I should look for another place. There must be something in the contract about cancelling. 

I sigh heavily, feeling a dark cloud settling above me. 

+15 BONUS 

I’ll call the landlord tomorrow and see if I can get my deposit back and I frown, my thoughts come to an abrupt stop. Why am I running? 

What has Zade done that I’m so desperately trying to run away from? 

But at the same time, why is the thought of leaving making me reluctant? 

No, I mean, it’s not that I don’t want to leave, I just… I like the environment in this area. Even now, as they try to get the power back up, I can hear people talking, making sure the elder man on the bottom floor is alright and a Ms Simmon, who lives alone. 

I’m not alone here, even if I’m alone in my apartment… I’m not alone… I’m- 

Freezing, I tense, my head snapping to the open door behind me. I swear I heard something…. 

I strain my 

ears before I shake my I 

I’m imagining things! 

Ok I really need to focus. 

No one is here. 

I close my eyes and grip the side of the tub. Zade is next door. If anything happens, I can call- 

Wait what? 

No. There will be no calling that sociopath who is probably the most dangerous. one around here!
