I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 30

A Heated Moment

SEBASTIAN. Her words echo in my mind as I advance on her. “The power! Val!” Zaia says suddenly,trying to push me back as she looks at Jai.

He shakes his head, smiling slightly, but I can see he doesn’t want to be here, looking a tad awkward. Idon’t blame him, this has just got personal…

“We have a generator, but due to the number of storms we get around here, it’s only Val’s room that’spowered by it. I’m going to go check on her. There are candles over there… if you want to put them on,feel free to do so.” He says with a smirk as he pushes himself away from the wall and leaves the room.Clearly relieved to be away from the both of us.

The moment the door shuts, I close the remaining distance between us, not missing the way her heartis beating faster than normal. I still have an effect on her, no matter how much she tries to deny it. I cansee the same look of desire in her eyes that I’m trying so hard to mask from mine…

Three years apart from her has only made it harder. The dreams and memories are nothing comparedto the real thing. And even when she’s mocking me, it only makes me want her more… because thatattitude reminds me of the woman I fell for.

Back when I first saw her… even then, I knew she liked me, but she still had to act like the sassyredhead she was. But right now, as much as I want to tease her, kiss her, and fuck her right into nextweek, I want to know what she meant about our daughter…

Sia.

My daughter, Sia. No matter how hard I tried, I never learned their names. The Toussaints kept theiridentities extremely secret. And I am

grateful for the extreme measures that Hugh Toussaint put in place for the children and Zaia. It haskept them safe. He did better than I could have… which had been one of the major clues for me thatthe enemy was not from his pack.

“What is wrong with our daughter?” I ask quietly. She looks away, her hair falling in front of her face,shielding her face from my view. I reach down, brush her hair back and force her to look at me. There’sguilt in her eyes, and frown.

“I… I’m sorry… for what I said, I can’t blame you… The rejection wasn’t the root cause… I mean itweakened me and I was told I will most likely not be able to have any more children but…”

I stare at her as she speaks quietly. The rejection did that. Guilt eats up at me and I feel as if someonejust punched me in the guts. I ruined her…

“But it was the poison that left lasting damage to Sia… but she’s strong, she’s fighting, and she is anAlpha blood born,” she says now looking up at me. I frown, “Wait, what? Poison?”

She nods. “Valerie figured out I was being poisoned. The day you asked for the divorce I found out Iwas pregnant and the following day, she called me to tell me that my body was weak… and it ispossibly the reason why I wasn’t getting pregnant… but even after I moved to the Whispering MountainPack, I was still weak.” She says, sighing

“She then had some tests run on my blood and found out I was being poisoned and so that night at theNew Year’s Eve Ball, she gave me an antidote from a friend of hers and it helped.” She explains, witheach word, the emotions that are spinning in my mind are just becoming harder to contain.

She was going through so much, and I will bet my entire pack that the poisoning and the messageswere linked…

“Mom was affected by the poison too and she was getting ill, but luckily the antidote helped and oncewe were at Dad’s pack, I had more created, using Val’s as the prototype. I owe Valerie so much. I wantto help her now.” She whispers, brushing her silky hair back only for it to fall in front of her face againas she now looks into my eyes.

Fuck… not only was she pregnant but also handling so many things by herself. I let go of her chin andgrab her elbows, pulling her against me. She gasps, her gorgeous amethyst-coloured eyes widening.

“Sebastian…” she whispers, breathlessly.

A memory of me pounding into her as she breathlessly moans my name fills my mind and I push itaway, despite the fact the memory has already sent blood rushing south and my cock is hardening.

“Don’t use that tone, Little Fox, because you know it makes me fucking crazy,” I growl, tugging hercloser, so she can feel what she’s doing to me.

She gasps, and my gaze dips to her breasts as they rise and fall rapidly, making my eyes flicker tosilver.

Fuck yes…

“Seb… uh…” She clears her throat, her pounding heart only fuelling the fire that burns within.

“I’m sorry… but they are useless words that will do nothing to fix this mess… or take back the pain thatI put you through… Physically… mentally. Leaving you to handle the birth of our children alone, I amsorry,

Zaia, for all of it.” I say quietly, my gaze dipping to where she’s biting her lower lip. Another blindingflash of lightning rips through the sky, followed by the roar of thunder and I gaze into her eyes. “Can Ihave one chance?”

She closes her eyes, taking a shuddering breath as she firmly pulls away from me and turns her backon me.

“We need to replace out who is behind everything… in fact, I thought it was Annalise, I do feel she has apart to play but there’s also someone else… perhaps when it’s all over, you can be a part of thechildren’s lives. But… We are over Sebastian, there’s no return, because even if you were trying to trickor show this person that you were truly ending it with me you still hurt me…”

I know she’s right, that I have hurt her far more than I should have…

“You blamed me for Annalise’s so-called fake kidnapping. Also, she practically admitted having liedabout and then at Atticus’s pack, she was talking to someone too.” She adds quietly.

Yeah, I never trusted Annalise. There were far too many discrepancies in her stories. Who was shetalking to at Atticus’s pack, Atticus? But I know for a fact that Ashbane was also clouding my judgementat the time. However, I won’t mention it, because it’s simply an excuse for my poor behaviour.

“I know… I know I hurt you, and I won’t try to reason with you… instead, I will show you that ZaiaToussaint is the only woman I want and have ever loved.”

Her heart thunders and I take her elbow, spinning her around to face me. Not missing the look of shockand conflict on her face.

Raising my hand, I brush knuckles over her cheek and neck. Satisfied to see her eyelids flutter shut fora moment, but when she tries to pull away, parting her plush lips to speak, I cut her off.

“Because I know… you’re still affected by me,” I add with a small, cocký smirk. I know the reactionshe’s going to give me but I’m ready for it, I’ll rather have her anger than her calm rejection telling tohold hope me not

Her eyes snap open and she narrows her eyes and opens her mouth, but I push her up against thewall, my thigh forcing her legs. apart as I press my body to hers.

“In your nh!” I cut her off, smashing my lips against hers. Pleasure rushes through me as I use myfucking all not to plunge my tongue into her mouth, instead devouring her lips in a bruising kiss.

The scent of her arousal hits me, and I feel her body react to mine. She arches her back. involuntarily.A soft moan escapes her lips. as I throb against her stomach and for a split second her lips caressmine before she pushes me back, reality hitting her.

Her eyes widen, her heart pounding as she stands there looking so fucking s3xy.

“You…”

“That was revenge for slapping me earlier,” I reply, trying to calm my mind which is already in overdrive.She narrows her eyes. “Don’t make excuses. Next time, I might just bite your tongue off.”

“Ah… that’s why I made sure there was no tongue play,” I reply, cocking an eyebrow. Besides… Iconsidered spanking your ass as revenge, but then I remembered you actually enjoy that…”

Her cheeks burn and she glares at me, about to reply, when there’s a light knock on the door and itopens.

“Wow…”

Jai looks between us, his eyes dipping to my hard cock, before he sniffs the air and pulls a face. Isuddenly feel a little protective. That scent is only for me.

“Fuck guys, I didn’t expect you to be moving so damn fast.” He mutters, glancing out the hallway. He’sagitated. “Look, the Scotts are back. You two need to lie low in here until the storm calms.”

Shit. No one is meant to know we’re here.

“Weren’t they supposed to be gone for the entire day?” I ask sharply.

He nods worriedly. “Yeah, but they headed back the moment the first signs of the storm showed in casethey were trapped. Keep it down in here. Seb, lock the door, I’ll make sure your scents are not leftlingering-”

He cuts off when we hear the sound of a car door shutting. “Got it,” I say as he quickly grabs a perfumebottle from his dresser and hurries from the room.

I walk to the door swiftly and lock it. Zaia and I are both quiet as we hear the Scotts enter and Jaigreets them faintly.

“How are we going to get out of here?” Zaia replies, hugging herself as she stares at the window. “Ineed to get back to the children.”

“We wait,” I reply quietly, pulling at my collar.

My clothes are beginning to dry, but they’re beginning to itch. She looks worried as I cross the roomand pull open Jai’s drawers, searching for some clothes to wear.

Taking out some sweatpants, I toss them onto the bed as I begin unbuttoning my shirt. “What are youdoing?” she asks sharply, staring at me.

I raise an eyebrow. “I thought it was men who have the pea-size brains-”

“Rice. Rice is smaller than peas. Don’t kid yourself,” she corrects. I frown, giving her a pointed glare.“Whichever, but since you’re clueless as to what I’m doing, I’ll tell you, I’m changing, since I’m soakingwet.”

“I know you are! But go to the bathroom!” she says in a hushed, furious whisper as she points at thebathroom door. I raise an eyebrow, unable to stop myself from smirking slightly.

“Oh? Why though? I mean… you’ve seen me naked before… or is it that it’s been far too long sinceyou’ve seen a naked man?” I taunt her huskily and with those words I pull my shirt off, slowly tossing itaside as I keep my eyes on her and reach for my belt…
