I Am The Luna

26. A Word of Warning or I Am The Luna Chapter 104 By Moonlight Muse

ZAIA.

“My patience is gone, and I don’t want to resort to any harsh methods, but I will if I have to,” I warn

dangerously, my eyes flashing as I look over at Annalise. “Who was the person you talked to back in

Atticus’s pack on New Year’s Eve?”

It’s the following day and although I did not get any sleep, it didn’t stop me from doing what’s needed. I

hate that I had to make Jai work so soon, but I had sent him to Dad’s pack to question the guards and

staff around Mom’s home.

A postmortem would be carried out to see what injuries she had been dealt and hope we get an idea of

when they snuck into Mom’s home.

Our home…

By her final words, it was clear they wanted to know about the Moon Dust. That would be my second

goal of the day after this visit to Annalise.

“I don’t remember!” She says in an extremely stressed-out voice. “You do!” I growl, slamming my fist

onto the table. She flinches, her heart thumping as she stares at me fearfully.

I know my eyes are as orange as my hair and I know I’m being harsher than normal, but I have no

option. Kindness did not get me far.

“I… I don’t… it… Gaspard! It was Gaspard!”

She’s still lying…

I can tell from the way her eyes are darting around the room that she just said his name on impulse.

I sit back. “I know you can’t mention the name of the person behind it all as it can affect you and the

baby… So how about this? I will ask a few questions, Annalise. A yes and no can work… I’m sure that

can get us past the magic.” I say thoughtfully, hoping it did.

“The man you spoke to is the same man you could not mention when you said you were told to pretend

you were kidnapped, correct?”

She purses her lips before she looks down, then back at me.

That’s a yes…

“Do I know this person? I ask.

Her lips tremble, and her heartbeat races, but she doesn’t reply.

“Ok, you can’t say…”

She stares stubbornly to the side, stroking her stomach, and I stand up. The moment the baby is born,

it will be taken from you and you will serve a proper sentence,” I say coldly as I stand up.

She simply stares off to the side, and I turn about to leave the room when I look back at her. “I met

Zade, my brother… he killed mother. As for our father… he’s missing.” my I’m terrified… terrified that

what if Zade has forced him to give him the Alpha title. Maybe something has happened to Dad, and I

won’t know because he’s done the same ritual with Zade and that would override the first one-

Stop Zaia.

My heart is thumping and even she’s tensed at my words, and I know although she is not his biological

daughter, she is still his daughter.

“Wait, what happened to Dad? Is Mom ok?!” she asks, panicking.

“She is for now, but the way things are going, everyone is in danger.” I remind her. “We need the

answers, and you need to reevaluate whose side you are on because they will kill anyone who is of no

use to them or those who defy them.”

“They won’t kill me! I’m carrying a baby! Gaspard won’t let them!”.

“And what power does Gaspard hold?”

Her heart skips a beat, and I look at her suspiciously.

“Gaspard…” He is from Dad’s pack, and Mom mentioned a boy…

Could it be?

The puzzle contains a thousand pieces and I keep finding more that do not fit. “What power does

Gaspard hold, Annalise?” I ask, now turning to face her fully.

She remains silent, and my eyes flash.” Answer me if you are not bound by magic!” I say, my alpha

command rippling through me.

“He is important to them!” she shouts, her eyes flashing and her heart thumps as she realises she’s

answered me. So that at least rules out the fact Gaspard was definitely not the one in Atticus’s pack.

“Important… everyone has a purpose and when that purpose is fulfilled, everyone becomes collateral.

Just like the Rogue Alpha was.”

“What do you mean?” she asks.

“I killed Olivan, and none of his so- called allies came to protect him, and when I find Gaspard… he too

will suffer the same fate as Olivan, I am done playing nice.”

“You’ve changed… What happened to you?” she asks, curiosity and fear in her eyes.

I raise an eyebrow. “I lost my patience. I trusted far too many… now it’s time for the Alpha within me to

end this. I will give you one final warning, Annalise… choose your side carefully because the Sublime

will win this.”

With those words I shut the door, not waiting for a reply as I make my way out of her new room in the

prison facility. She’ll be given everything she needs here, but I can’t risk not having her in prison.

I’ve already reset the security and call it extreme, but I am the only one who can now access the prison

and security. Without my permission, no one leaves.

A move that I know will only put me at further risk, but I can’t trust anyone anymore…

I can still trust my friends…

But can I?

I hate that I’m beginning to doubt everyone, but I can’t help it.

I go over to my awaiting car and open the driver’s seat.

“Please get out,” I say.

“Ma’am, is everything ok?”

“Yes,” I say. “I’m taking the car, and you will not tell anyone.” Once again, the alpha command rolls off

my tongue with ease.

“Yes, Alpha.” He bows his head and I get in, placing my bag down on the passenger seat and starting

the car. I zoom off.

I need to get to Mom’s old house, but I need to make sure no one follows. If Zade was in the house that

day, there was a high chance he heard what Mom said… maybe, maybe not….

I drive away from pack grounds and when I reach one of the narrow roads I park my car, and quickly

pull on a black coat and a blond wig. I step out of the car, continuing the rest of the way on foot. I’m

carrying a large tote bag which holds a gun and a few other supplies.

Under the stairs…

I reach Mom’s home, remembering after the rejection how I came here, and she supported me.

I messed up…

With a heavy heart, I look at the windows. The net curtains still hang in the windows and a part of me

feels that perhaps I could walk up to that door and knock…

And maybe, maybe she’ll open it and hug me, telling me it’ll be ok…

I was angry at you Mom… but I didn’t want you to leave…

Brushing away a tear, I remain in the shadows. The neighbours around here have always been nosy…

The will be updated daily. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
