I Am The Luna

How did I even have one?

There was a time after the war when I wondered if all the Sable and Sublime were given mates, and perhaps there was a part of me that wondered what and whom the Goddess would choose for me, but…

To be faced with something so big at a time like this, and so suddenly… I run my fingers through my hair as I close the door to my suite, unable to remove the image of the woman her. Nor

on the bed, unable to forget the gap between her lower back and the bed beneath

the way her breasts rose and fell… 2

I exhale as I pull off my suit jacket and head to my ensuite to shower. I need to clear my head.

A few hours have passed, but sleep has forsaken me. I open my eyes, letting out a sigh of exasperation as I push off my blanket and sit up, shaking my head only for my hair to flop forward again.

Screw this.

I get out of bed, adjust my grey pants and stare in the mirror at my bare torso. I can’t really go like that… I turn to my wardrobe and grab a grey gown and slip it on, not bothering to tie it as I slip out of my bedroom.

Zade will be on alert… I just need to go as quietly as possible…

I walk down the hall, knowing exactly what spots creak and which don’t and reach her room. I reach for the doorknob, pausing as I ask myself, what am I doing?

I don’t have the answer to that…

Silently, I twist the knob and push open the door, my eyes glimmering when I see her sleeping in bed. Her head is turned towards the window now, but she’s fast asleep, as I assumed she would be.

My heart is racing as I slowly cross the room, her scent hitting me again. It’s dizzying, and I close my eyes, inhaling it as I slowly open my eyes. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Walking over to the bed, I look down at her. Although she looks younger, she’s probably in her late twenties at most… Far too young still.

I stretch my hand reaching for her jaw, noticing her high cheekbones.

This pull…

Can the bond even be anything more than a forced pull? Is the mate bond even a good thing? With such intensity… it would draw us to even the worst person… Is this why Valerie is unable to stay away from Zade? Is this the reason Zaia forgave Sebastian time and time again?

These aren’t real emotions… these are just… the pull of a bond I did not ask for.

My hand freezes mere millimetres from her face.

It’s not real.

She’s not real.

There’s no way a woman who has clearly lived a life similar to Zade, can ever be matched to

1. me. 1

We are incompatible without this bond.

I’m about to move my hand back when she stirs. A soft moan escapes her and I freeze, not wanting to awaken her. She turns her head ever so slightly and I can tell she’s trying to wake up, but she’s still not up to it…

Thick lashes curtain stunning green eyes. Her eyes flutter, and for a split second, our eyes. meet. She struggles, frowning as she tries to concentrate, but she’s already losing consciousness.

I don’t move, watching as her lips part in an attempt to speak.

“Who…” That’s all she manages before she succumbs to the darkness.

I step back, balling my fist. She can’t see me. As long as she remains here, I’ll make sure that

I don’t run into her.

Turning, I silently leave the room, ignoring the emotions that don’t belong to me but wolf counterpart. 3

my

is how it has to be because deep down I know where my true feelings lie, and it would be wrong of me to even think of someone else when I’m not over another. 2

She’ll be better off without ever knowing she has a fated mate.

Yes, it’s best this way for the both of us.
