I Am The Luna

ZAIA “I have some good news, Zaia. Sebastian will be so excited. Congratulations, you’re pregnant!” The doctor’s words ring in my mind as I stare down at the test reports once again, as I leave the hospital. “Sorry!” I say, as I avoid bumping into someone, my heart skipping a beat as I place a hand on my stomach protectively, hurrying towards my awaiting car. My driver, Ethan, is waiting beside the sleek black car and he opens the door for me, bowing his head. “Thank you!” I say as I get in gracefully. “Where to, ma’am?” he asks once he gets in the car. “Home,” I say, unable to suppress my smile, excitement bubbling through me. This is actually happening. I’ve been trying for a baby for three years and finally… finally, I am pregnant. I want to shout it from the rooftop, tell everyone that yes! I’m pregnant with the heir to the pack! But I contain my excitement. I need to tell Sebastian the good news first. Sebastian is the Alpha of the Dark Hollow Falls pack. It is one of the

ZAIA. Once back home, everywhere I look I see him, see the life we built together here. Crippling pain consumes me at what I’m leaving behind, but I won’t allow him to take more from me. I won’t let him hurt the life growing inside me. These babies are as much mine as they are his and I will do my best for them. I begin packing, taking only the bare essentials, and dumping them into a suitcase. The quicker I am out of here, the better. I write a quick note to Emma, thanking her for her services. Picking up the divorce agreement, I sit down at the dining table. The silence in the house is deafening. Emma must have finished her work by now and left. With shaking hands, I sign the papers and close the file and with it, the door to that chapter of my life. Plucking up my phone, I stare at my mother’s number. I haven’t called her in a while… Although she and my father are separated, she too had been against me marrying Sebastian. However, I know she’ll understand me better than

SEBASTIAN. “Are you still brooding? You know Seb, I’m tired of having to nag you to get stuff done when you were always on top of it all. Why even reject her if you can’t deal with it?” I look up at Jai, my Beta and also my best friend, but I choose not to answer him. It’s been 4 months since she accepted my rejection and left this pack. “I didn’t think she’d accept it.” I mutter, flipping my phone distractedly between my fingers. Jai scoffs. “Yeah, you just decided to hurt her for no real reason and wanted her to beg you to keep her? You hurt her by going back to your ex.” I know… But what I don’t get is why did she accept it so easily? I’ve known Zaia since before I found out she was my mate. She’s always been a girl determined to get what she wanted, and she had always had a crush on me… How could she simply just walk away without even trying to fight for me? It left me feeling as if she was in a hurry to get rid of me. “You know, man, since we’re on the topic, you really

ZAIA. It’s been four months since that day. I wish I could say life is perfect, but it’s far from it. I am still weak despite doing my best to remain healthy for my babies. Mom knew someone who had helped us create fake IDs, and we had managed to be accepted into a new pack. She explained to the Alpha that my mate had rejected me and I feared for the lives of my children. Leaving out the fact I was the Luna of an enemy Alpha. We had little option, and I was grateful when we were accepted into the pack. The Whispering Mountain Pack is a rival pack to Sebastian’s. Not only that, but it is also in an isolated location, only open to other packs on rare occasions. Since it doesn’t tie in with any large city areas, no one has any need to venture on to the pack territory. Mom had chosen it for this reason. Plus, this is a pack where Sebastian would never think to look for me, if ever he decides to. The packs are sworn enemies. The Alpha of this pack also has a reputation for opening t

SEBASTIAN. “Get out! Get her out of here, before I have her thrown from the pack!” Mom’s shrieks make me flinch as I slam my foot on the brakes of my car, pulling up outside of the mansion. I get out only to see two suitcases tossed on the ground and a sobbing Annalise standing there as Mom blocks the entrance, her face blotchy as she screams. “What on earth is going on here?” I ask as I rush over to the two women. Mom’s eyes flash dangerously. “You’re asking?! You are asking me what is wrong when I learned that you have taken a whore! A mistress! Whilst kicking out your wife! Where is my Zaia?” she screams. I step back, swallowing. I’ve never seen Mom so angry. She’s shaking, her heartbeat is erratic and her eyes are blazing in rage. “Seb, Seb baby. Tell them we are together now,” Annalise sobs. Mom looks at me, hurt, her lips quivering as if daring me to agree with Annalise. “Look, how about we all talk about this calmly?” I suggest. I’m trying to figure out how mom realise
