I Am The Luna

Chapter 0013

Everything I do somehow reminds me of him, but I am certain he has forgotten me, though, happily living his life with Annalise.

The setting sun looks blood red, making the apple look even more vibrant. I bite into.

it when a shadow falls over me.

My eyes flash, thinking how didn’t I notice him approaching? I plaster a smile on my face and look up at the Alpha.

“Oh hello,” I say.

“We run into one another once again,” he says charmingly. His brown hair looks.

golden in the sun.

“Yes…” I say and I begin walking when he grabs hold of my arm, my heart skips a

beat and I instantly feel a wave of unease wash over me.

“Can I help you Alpha?” I ask sharply,

“Oh sorry, I didn’t mean to alarm you. I just thought you might need a lift. In fact, I was calling you, but you were distracted,” he says, pointing to his sleek car.

I glance around, feeling the stray eyes of the people on me. His attention towards me

is creating unnecessary gossip.

“Of course,” I say, thinking I’ll take the chance to tell him I can’t come to the party.

He holds the door open for me and I slip inside, while he places the bags in the

trunk.

Oh goddess, are we now on such friendly terms that he will help me with my

shopping and give me lifts home?

“What kind of music do you like?” he asks me, as he fiddles with the radio once he’s

back in the car.

“Country,” I reply without thinking.

He puts some country music on and leans over, grabbing my belt. His arm brushes

my chest and we both freeze, our eyes meeting as I press myself back into my seat,

He looks away quickly, pulling the surrounding belt, and buckling it in. His heart’s racing and I suddenly feel like the car is too tight.

I struggle, wanting to refuse him, but it might look too suspicious if I bring the topic up again.

“Zaia?”

“Yes, Atticus…” I begin. He looks at me and smiles

faintly.

“Finally, after months of asking you to call me that,” he says, reaching over, he brushes my hair out of my face and my breath hitches. “Sorry, it’s tempting.” “It’s ok,” I reply, although I feel so uncomfortable right now. “You were saying?”

“Oh, yeah.” He shakes his head. “I was wondering, what pack you’re from, I mean your mother said you were both from the Forest Oak Pack, but you remind me more of a city girl.” He finishes with a chuckle.

I tilt my head. “We are from the Forest Oak Pack, however, I did study in the city, maybe it’s that,” I reply smoothly.

“Ah, I see.” He smiles at me and I smile back. However, the fact he asked me that has novelbin

worried me.

Does he think we are lying about something?

I think the time has come for us to leave this pack. 4

I turn my head to look out of the window. Darkness is town and with

it, the fear of not knowing what the future holds begins to eat at me.

“Zaia…” I look back at him and he reaches over, giving my hand a gentle yet firm squeeze. “I know that you’re running from your ex, and I know you don’t want to talk about him to me and that’s ok. But, I want to let you know that you are safe here, I won’t ask you again where you come from. I’m sorry.”

I smile, looking down at his large hand over mine. “Thank you,” I say quietly.

I know I can’t trust him fully, but at least we are safe here.
