I Am The Luna

Chapter 0001

ZAIA

“I have some good news, Zaia. Sebastian will be so excited. Congratulations,
you’re pregnant!” The doctor’s words ring in my mind as I stare down at the test
reports once again, as I leave the hospital.

“Sorry!” I say, as I avoid bumping into someone, my heart skipping a beat as I
place a hand on my stomach protectively, hurrying towards my awaiting car.

My driver, Ethan, is waiting beside the sleek black car and he opens the door for
me, bowing his head.

“Thank you!” I say as I get in gracefully.

“Where to, ma’am?” he asks once he gets in the car. (*)

“Home,” I say, unable to suppress my smile, excitement bubbling through me.
This is actually happening. I’ve been trying for a baby for three years and
finally…

finally, I am pregnant.

I want to shout it from the rooftop, tell everyone that yes! I’m pregnant with the
heir to the pack! But I contain my excitement. I need to tell Sebastian the good
news first.

Sebastian is the Alpha of the Dark Hollow Falls pack. It is one of the largest
packs on

the eastern side of the state.

However, with the large territory also comes the dangerous borders that roam
with rogues, ready to tear apart anyone who gets in their way.

Werewolves spend their entire lives searching and hoping to find their destined
mates. As for me, I had a crush on Bastien from the moment I had seen him
when I

was eleven years old.

That crush never went away and when he turned out to be my fated mate, it had
been a dream come true and we had married.

He desperately wanted an heir, and which Alpha doesn’t? I had just turned
eighteen

when I found him, but he was thirty one at the time. Many other alphas have
sons.

who are already being trained to become the next alphas at his age.

“Make haste, Ethan, I have a lot to do today,” I say to the driver as I sit back
against

the plush leather seat.

Reaching our large gated mansion, I step inside and head straight to the kitchen,
my

stilettos echoing on the wooden floors. I will cook his favourite pudding and
place

the reports underneath the plate!

“You may take the evening off, get some rest,” I say to the maid, Emma. “I’ll cook
for

us tonight.”

“Oh, thank you, Luna!” she says, placing down the dish towel she had been
holding.”

I am certain Alpha will absolutely be so happy if you make him his favourite
dessert!

Not to mention he doesn’t like sweet things, but your pudding is something he
can’t

resist!”

I can’t help but smile at her words. Yes, Sebastien doesn’t enjoy sweet things
aside

from me and the cream pie that he loves.

My cheeks heat as I remember the first time he had told me that it’s now his
second

favourite dessert, and in hopes of making his favourite dessert, I had asked him
what his favourite was. Only for him to smirk and reply; you.

I can’t help but smile from ear to ear, the elated feeling creating a pleasant buzz
around me as I get to work wanting everything to be perfect for his return.

Hours pass and when everything is almost ready, I change into something pretty
and set up the dining table with candles and the food.

“Almost 9pm…” he will be home soon.

With the troubles that have surrounded our borders, as well as having to run the
business, Sebastian often works until late into the night. But he would try to come
home by 9.30pm and continue working from home if necessary.

I sit down on the chair, watching the clock tick away, the sound loud in the room’s
silence.

Once again, I look down at my stomach, smiling softly as I await the return of my
mate.

Time passes slowly and soon 11 o’clock comes and goes, but I’m not deterred,
maybe

I will reheat the food again….

I have just placed the reheated meals on the table when my head jerks up at the
sound of footsteps, making my heart thud at the sudden sound. I look toward the
door excitedly.

Finally, he is home!

The front door shuts, and a familiar faint scent of my mate hits my nose.

I cast a swift glance at the clock on the wall. To my surprise, it’s past midnight.

I rush to the hall, the excitement of finally being able to tell him the good news
filling me. There he is, in the dimly lit hall. He still looks as handsome as ever.
Three and a half years on, he still makes my heart skip a beat whenever I see
him.

He loosens his black tie, as he places his briefcase down, holding a few files in
his

hands as well. His bright blue eyes look tired as they meet mine and I smile.
“Sebastian!” I rush over to him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He catches me with one arm, but there’s no enthusiasm. He must have had a
really

hard day. I don’t mind; I know how stressful things are at work lately.

Placing me back on the floor, he raises a brow as he looks down a

at me.

“Why are you awake at this time?” he asks me in his deep, rugged voice.

“I was waiting for you. I wanted to have dinner together. There’s something I
wanted to tell you,” I explain as I help him out of his jacket, brushing a piece of
lint from hist white shirt that is no longer as crisp as it was this morning.

“I’ve already eaten,” he replies, surprising me as heads towards the living room.
“I have something to tell you.”

“Ok, you go first,” I say as he drops onto the sofa, stretching his long legs, and
resting

his arm on the back of the sofa.

I sit down beside him, knowing he would share something regarding the work.
meeting. After all, I am knowledgeable on these matters and he’d often get my
opinion on his ideas.

is ever.

However, there’s something off. There’s a coldness in he looks into mine.
Sebastian looks down at the file in his hands before he tosses it on the table, the
loud snap as it hits the table makes me jump.

“Read it.”

I take it uneasily and flip open the blank file, but the red words in bold print at the
top of the first page make my blood run cold.

“DIVORCE AGREEMENT”

I gasp as I quickly scan the document. That feeling becomes worse. This is a
divorce agreement with our name on it… My entire body trembles as I look up at
him, hurt.

and confused.

“W-why?” I manage to blurt out as I look at the man I love from the bottom of my
heart.

What went wrong?

“Annalise is back, and she’s rejoined the pack.”

I look up sharply. It’s suddenly hard to breathe.

“But I am your mate,” I whisper. How could he still care for Annalise? She was his
past. “We’ve been married for three years.”

“Our marriage was a mistake from the very beginning. Back then, my father
demanded that I marry my mate, but now I don’t want to be bound by the
Goddess*

arrangement. I don’t see the point of fated mates.”

My heart clenches. I look at his face, trying to understand what he’s thinking, but
there’s nothing that reveals his feelings and he has his walls up, blocking the
mate

bond.

“But your father, he-“

“My Mom is not my father’s mate, but she still gave birth to me. She gave him at
powerful Alpha son and even after he found his mate, he stayed by her side,
rejecting his mate. I will never understand his reason for wanting me with my
destined mate when he himself is proof that you don’t need your mate.”

Those words are worse than being stabbed a thousand times, and I can feel my
eyes,

prickle with tears, the agony my wolf is feeling consuming me.

Does he really think that is the truth? Annalise is my half-sister and although she
and Sebastian had dated, I know her truth, the real her that she hides behind her
pretty face and doe eyes.

“Annalise only approached you because you were an Alpha… Sebastian, she
doesn’t

love you the way I do. She wants to be Luna-“

He kicks the solid oak coffee table, making me jump as it’s thrown over with a
loud

crash, hitting the wooden floor with a deafening bang that makes the ornaments
in

the glass cabinet shake.

“And what about you? You just want to be Luna, don’t you! You knew that
Annalise

and I were in a relationship, yet you selfishly accepted the marriage anyway and
betrayed your own sister by taking her man! You lied to me. She’s told me
everything!” 5.

“No, that’s not true. Let me explain-“

“Don’t antagonise me, Zaia, you got what you wanted, you became my wife and
Luna,

but that wasn’t enough for you. You forced Annalise from coming anywhere near
this pack because you knew once she returned, I would learn everything!”

Yes, I did want Annalise to leave, but I never made her leave. She left of her own
accord once she learned Sebastian had found his mate, but now, it’s almost as if
she

has been planning her return all this time.

Is she really enough to come between what we have? Sadly, I look into his eyes,
realising he never trusted me. He’s now judging and calculating everything I
gave. him with suspicion, as if I had played him to gain the position of Luna.

I can’t understand it. Tell me Bastian… If you didn’t want me, then why did you
make

love to me? Why did you touch me like I was the only woman who mattered to
you?

Taking a deep breath, I ask him the decisive question. “Sebastian… Tell me, if it
wasn’t your father’s request-“

“Then I would have rejected you, and even now, I will, for Annalise.”

My lips quiver, remembering how my father hadn’t been happy with me marrying
him. He never liked Sebastian’s family, yet I had given it all up for him.

My family… my inheritance and my position, but it was clearly not enough for
him.

If he’s able to cast me aside so easily, then what is my use?

He exhales as if I’m an irritating child and takes out a lighter and cigarette.

“Sign the papers soon. I don’t want this to drag out,” he says.

I stare down at the file as a single tear splashes onto the

“It’s no longer important… forget about it,” I say, thinking he will never see the

agony

The answer is in front of me, and although it is painful, the truth is yes, yes, he
could.

“You may remain here for tonight. It’s late anyway. Annalise won’t move in until
everything is settled. I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable.”

I stare up into his handsome face, trying to recognise the man I fell for.

I smile bitterly and nod at him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be gone. Say hi to Annalise for me.”
