I Am The Luna By Moonlight Muse
Chapter 343

Chapter 0343

Zaia had said to let it go and recalled the squad.

It’s been seventeen months and we haven’t heard anything since… almost as if he has vanished intothin air… as silent as he had been for the last five years prior… This is what happens when I end uphaving a moment to ponder on things.

The person who ruined my life creeps into my mind like a thief in the night.

He’s gone, but he’s left an impact on my life. One that I never expected him ever to, one that riddles mewith grief and guilt. How am I still remembering him when he’s long gone?

When will the pain stop?

When will the guilt disappear?

Anger flits through me, and I stand up, refusing to let myself wallow.

These bags won’t unpack themselves and I need to get this place sorted and then I will spend the weekexploring this place before I begin work next week.

And if there’s a man I replace good–looking, then yes, I will ask him out on a date.

My determination fades as I remember Jai’s handsome face and smile sadly.

He was the light I never gave enough to…

I exhale, refusing to get emotional.

The sky is black, lit up by the orangey glow of the street lamps outside. I can smell something cookingwafting through the open window and the sound of families gathering for their evening meals andchattering away.

I smile as I look through the papers I’m working on. This was one of the reasons I chose this placerather than a more upscale apartment. The neighbours make you feel a little less lonely.

The pleasant ambience of apartments cramped together was perfect. I have not met my neighboursyet, although I am more curious about the one whom I’m sharing my balcony with.

“Drake, get yo ass in here! You ain’t going anywhere!” A woman shouts.

‘Bye Mom!”

“DRAKE!”

Oh boy.

I shake my head as I tuck my hand under my chin. As long as no one realises I’m a werewolf, I’m sureI’ll be able to stay fairly hidden. I close the file and stretch as I massage my neck.

Goddess, there’s so much to do this week, but right now I think I’m going to head to bed.

Packing up, I shower quickly, pulling on an oversized white shirt and panties. before I head to thebedroom. My phone beeps and I pick it up from the dresser, smiling when I see Atticus’s name on thescreen.

I pull my towel out of my hair and get into bed, running my fingers through my short hair as I unlock myphone; ready to text him back, only to see Zaia has also messaged. Both are asking if I arrived safelyand if I like the place.

Smiling, I begin reading the messages and replying and soon, I’m lost in the conversations, theoccasional dog barking or a siren passing distracts me for a few seconds, but I feel better than I have inmonths.

ATTICUS: You should get some rest now. You must be tired, with all that texting. You and Zaia nevertire.

VALERIE: Oh? You knew we were talking lol.

ATTICUS: There’s not a chance that you two are both online and not texting one another.

VALERIE: Stalker.

ATTICUS: Lol, no, just a worried brother.

Mhmm, I shake my head, bidding him and Zaia both goodnight. It is late….

I smile at his response before I put my phone down and I’m about to switch off the lamp when Isuddenly freeze. A strange feeling washes over me and I look. sharply at the blank white wall behindthe bed.

My heart thumps, and I’m on edge as I slowly move up until my knees are on the cushions and pressmy ear to the wall.

What were my instincts telling me?

There’s silence on the other side and I slowly move back, staring at my hand on the wall. I hear a doorshut quietly and jump back from the wall. Someone was in there… but what was that?

A chill rushes through me and memories of long ago return. That fear of someone trying to kill me in myown apartment makes my blood run cold, and I quickly get off the bed, a strong urge to check everydoor and in every drawer overcoming me.

I shut the window, no longer trusting it open, before I check every room, behind the couch, the curtains,and the kitchen area.

There’s nothing here… relax Valerie.

I run my hand through my hair, as I decide to return to my room when my gaze falls on the front doorand I freeze. Beneath the small gap in the door, I can see what looks like the shadowy outline of feet..

Someone’s out there and just that thought makes my blood run cold.
