I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 368

Chapter 0368 

VALERIE 

That night, he never returned. 

Nor the night after. 

And the night after that. 

It was almost like Zade Toussaint had simply disappeared without a note, without a message. 

And it terrified me because he’s disappeared once before. 

The apartment next door remained empty. 

No one came to clear it out, which gave me a little hope, but what hope? 

When we all know he doesn’t care, right? 

He’ll leave when he wants to 

Maybe it’s better this way. 

Guilt and regret morph into worry and anxiousness, which soon change into anger and disappointment. 

It’s been a week since that night, yet there’s no sign of his return, and… 

I’ve stopped waiting. 

Why should I wait for someone who comes and goes as they wish? 

The first two nights after Zaia left, I knocked on his window, but he wasn’t there. 

That’s the difference between Zade and the rest of the world. 

He just doesn’t care. 

Until last night. 

I thought I heard movement next door. 

And I realised I do care. 

Today I am leaving the hospital far earlier than usual, making an excuse that I was feeling a little under the weather. It’s not a complete lie. I’ve barely slept or eaten since Zaia left, although I reassured her I was fine.

I hurt him, and I need to fix this. 

And I know I heard something next door unless he had just come to grab his things and is leaving for good. The very thought makes me sick. 

1 close my eyes, gripping my desk as I take a deep breath. “Are you sure you’ll be alright to head home by yourself?” Cassian asks, folding his arms as he walks 

over to me. 

Nodding, I brush my hair back. “Yes, absolutely. I’m fine. I just need some painkillers and bed.” I lie. 

He looks me over before nodding in understanding and I can’t blame him for buying it. I’ve felt restless and torn all morning, even more than the last few days. “Alright then, but just be careful. I’m a little concerned that you might have caught the new virus that’s been spreading. 

I’m a werewolf. Nothing is going to get to me. 

“I’m sure it’s not, but thanks for being worried,” I respond as I pick up my bag and jacket.
