I Am The Luna

78. A Chaos Unleashed

“Don’t hate him, Sebastian. He is hurting. I am not sure what has gotten into him, but he does love you.”

“I don’t care, Mom. We’ve never seen eye to eye… guess I’m a reminder that he is incapable of even having a child. He’s probably simply jealous because in every way I’m better than him.” I say coldly.

I know it’s harsh, but it’s the only logical reason. “Sebastian, you’re hurt too, just… ignore it.”

“If he really doesn’t want me to be alpha, then he can challenge me for the title. After all, I am currently within my rights to be the Alpha. If he wants it back, then he can fight me for it. But from this day onward, I no longer consider him my father.” I stand up, feeling the pent-up emotions inside of me bubbling to the surface.

“Sebastian please!”

“No. I’m done.” I say. I grab my jacket I had removed earlier, slinging it over my shoulder as I leave the room.

I’m getting Zaia and we’re leaving. It was a fucking mistake to come here. I’m almost at the living room door when I pause.

Gerard is my biological father… His words earlier about me being his son make me sick. I don’t want to face him … I’ll call her from outside.

I can’t think straight right now, I just can’t, and it feels like my head is going to explode if anyone says one more word to me. I need to get out of here..

I exit the house and take out my phone to make the call to Zaia, glancing at the lounge window. My finger is hovering over the call button when I freeze.

My blood runs cold, my eyes blazing silver. There, standing in each other’s embrace, their lips locked in a deep kiss, are Zaia and Gerard. What the fuck is going on?

I step back, refusing to believe it. I’m seeing things, I’m fucking seeing things. I turn away, striding to my car. No matter how angry and fucking pissed I am, I can’t leave her. I’ll have security come to collect her…

My hands are shaking with rage and confusion as I get into the car and I’m about to drive off when I pause.

No, She wouldn’t do that. This has to be a setup. I know I saw what I fucking saw! But… Fuck!

Focus, Sebastian, fucking focus! I get out of the car and head back inside just as Mom’s scream pierces the air and the metallic smell of blood fills the air.

There are a few members of staff outside the door of the lounge where I had seen them kissing moments earlier. Is she ok?!

I rush to the entrance, pushing past them, my heart in my mouth. The very thought of something happening to Zaia makes my blood run cold and I burst into the lounge to see Mom kneeling on the floor beside Gerard, who is unconscious, sprawled on the ground. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

There are streaks of blood down the corner of the fireplace and there’s blood spilling from his head.

What happened? Zaia is standing there, her face ghostly as she looks up at me. ‘He tried to kiss me! I only pushed him away!’

The words aren’t spoken and I’m not sure if it’s my wishful thinking but it’s almost as if I can hear them in my mind. Not the first time it’s happened, and it is fucking weird. “It’s going to be OK,” I say quietly, crossing the room and pulling her into my arms.

She clings to me, her entire body shaking, and her heart is thumping violently. My own head is pounding with the chaos that is spinning around us.

“Call for help! He’ll die!” Mom screams, “We need to take him to the hospital!” The butler says as Zaia tugs on my shirt. “Bastien, I didn’t mean to hurt him, he tried…” she looks around. “He…”

“I get it. Let’s get out of here.” I say quietly. I can tell she didn’t mean to. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I intend to find out when we are alone. Right now, I need to keep my head on straight.

“Arrest her!” Dad’s cold voice comes from the entrance as two of the men lift Gerard up and rush from the room.

“I’m the Alpha and I’m in charge here. No one is arresting her!” I snarl dangerously, moving her behind me protectively. “We don’t even know what happened. Do not jump to conclusions!”

“I know that Gerard is near dead because of what happened.” He shoots back, his eyes filled with anger.

“No.” “What do you mean no!” Dad snarls as four guards step into the room. “Because she is innocent, I’m the one who pushed him. I did it.” I say, suddenly making Mom and Zaia gasp.

“Bas-”

I reach behind me squeezing her wrist gently, hoping she realises to let me do what I need to. Right now, she is more important than I am.

“What?” Dad asks sharply. “I said, I’m the one who hurt him. I was angry, he got in my way, and I pushed him.” I say quietly. “That’s not true-”

“It is!” I snarl. “I’m confessing and admitting to my crime.”

A cold smirk crosses Dad’s face. “You know this means you will be stripped of your title as Alpha and trialled.” Exactly what you want….

“I will… but I have a son and Luna. Zaia, as Luna of this pack will run in my stead, taking over, until I am trialled and IF I am found guilty… then she will rule as Alpha until Zion comes of age,’ I say clearly. There are enough people here to stand as witnesses.

I turn to Zaia, who is staring at me in shock. My only aim is to protect her, to give her the power and protection to stand without me. She doesn’t need me, she never has…

but if I can do even a little for her, then I will. Taking out my pocket knife, I slice into my hand. This is a little more unethical than the new norms of pack title transfers, but I don’t really care. I want this done in an absolute manner, which no one can question.

“Sebastian, no, don’t do this!” Zaia pleads, gripping my arm, and looking up at me with glittering amethyst eyes. Eyes that are fucking beautiful.

“Listen to me, Foxie, you are strong. Always remember that.” I murmur, cupping her face. Neither of us cares that blood is spilling down my wrist and her neck. Her eyes fill with tears as she shakes her head, unable to say what she wants. I wish it didn’t come to this.

“Mark me now,” I whisper, making her eyes widen. “Stop!” Dad snarls. He knows if she does, there’s no way to take her position from her.

She looks at me hesitantly before she cups the back of my head, pulling me down. I hear her taking a shuddering breath before sinking her teeth into my neck, just as I wrap my arms around her tightly.

She’s mine…

I barely feel the sting of pain from her fangs, but I do feel that spark that I once destroyed, spring to life like a phoenix, reborn. Only this time it’s stronger… far more intense, and several gasps fill the room. Not every mated couple marks one another…

She extracts her teeth, placing a tender kiss on my neck before she moves, gazing up into my eyes. The image of her kissing Gerard returns, but I know I can’t ask her that now…

I just need to trust that something happened that I don’t know of…

I take her hand, creating a thinner cut before enclosing it with my own, letting our blood mix. “I, Sebastian King, pass the title of Alpha of the Dark Hollow Falls Pack to my mate and Luna, Zaia Toussaint…” I say clearly, feeling the slight shift in power.

“I, Zaia Toussaint, accept the title of Alpha of the Dark Hollow Falls Pack,” she whispers. Our eyes meet and I don’t know when I’ll see her again… Gorgeous amethyst against blue.

“Take him!” Dad snarls.

“Tell me you love me,” I say quietly, cupping her face as the men move forward. I need to hear it, something to grasp onto…

“I do, I love you, Sebastian, I love you! She says. Reaching up, she presses her lips against mine for a fleeting second before I’m ripped away from her. “I love you too,” I say as I feel something injected into the back of neck. my Take care of our children…

Her eyes are now filled with tears that spill down her cheeks. I hate that this is my fault…

Why can’t I protect her? Once again, I’m leaving her to fend for herself… to protect our pups on her own.

‘Not on my own… You will always be by my side, Bastian…’

This time, I’m certain those thoughts

came from her.

“Lower your heads to your new Alpha!” I snarl, fighting the darkness. @

They lower their heads before my body succumbs to the darkness. The last thing I see is Zaia rushing towards me before a wall of men block her path…

I’m sorry I failed you.
