I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 464

ZADE.

It’s late at night, and Sebastian and Zaia’s older three kids have now gone up to bed and I’m relieved.

For some reason, the Menace refused to stop looking at me all evening. The oldest, Zion, is pretty mature for his age, and he’s grown a lot from the last time I saw him. Sia, she’s decent and tried to get the Menace away from me. Even though she did fail.

The youngest, Kaia, is under a year and she’s walking by holding onto things but not alone yet. She kept crying when she saw me at first and the Menace had to give his input. ‘She’s scared of your face. You do know your eyes are weird?’

I can still hear him complaining upstairs about how he doesn’t want to sleep.

“But why?”

“Xander please, Mommy’s a little tired now.”

“So Mommy, go bed then, Xander’s not tired.”

That kid…

“He is a handful. He’s not even scared of you.” Valerie chuckles, looking at Sebastian who is working on his computer.

“Yeah, he’s got a mouth on him.” He agrees as he lifts his daughter into his lap, allowing her to grab his tie and begin chewing on the edge. He kisses her forehead as Atticus looks over at Valerie.

“Did you find anything?”

“Nothing new yet,” Valerie sighs, massaging her temples.

I lean over, running my hand down her back. She smiles over at me.

Zaia and Valerie had been discussing how they would try to heal Shelby and Ada. For some reason, according to them, trying to do what they did with Sia on a few patients over the years had never worked again, not the way it had back then, almost as if it was a miracle in itself.

“Hmm…” Atticus remarks.

Hugh is with Shelby. He had spent most of the evening beside her. She seemed to be awake longer knowing he was there, but the women were worried she’d overdo it.
