I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 36

A Past Forgotten

ZAIA. “Thank you, Alpha Hugh, for allowing Valerie to be placed here and for the warm welcome,” Jai says as he shakes Dad’s hand. “And for allowing me to stay at your pack, it is a great honour.”

Dad nods curtly. “Don’t take it for kindness, I only agreed because you have been a carer for Valerie. You will be allotted an apartment and you may visit Zaía’s place, but be aware, due to you still being a part of that pack, a guard will accompany you at all times. Do I make myself clear?” Dad’s voice is crisp and curt as he looks Jai dead in the eye.

“Yes, of course, Alpha,” Jai says with a firm nod. “After dark, you are not to venture out around the pack, save going to and from Zaia’s home.”

It had been a great surprise when Dad had asked if any family would be staying with Valerie and if so, then he needs to know so he can have security enforced.

It was only jai who would be staying with her, something that Sebastian and Jai both thought was ideal, having Jai closer to me, too. Although I made it clear, I am perfectly fine without them!

“Well then, have a good evening,” Dad says to the both of us before he glances at the house for a second before he takes his leave. “Come on in,” I say.

Valerie’s room was already arranged in the conservatory, and I had everything in place for my hope in this ritual of healing.

I know the omegas who helped set the place up and Dad thought I was crazy, but they entertained me anyway. I didn’t even care when I received side-eye looks when they brought in the supplies I asked for.

I didn’t mind what they thought of us, as long as she got better by it. I’m willing to try anything for her.

I need my girl back. “So… can I meet them?” Jai asks me. He looks a bit nervous as he tries to hide his excitement. The children…

I nod, smiling slightly. “Of course,” I say, leading the way inside. “I told you to have dinner with us. He nods, “You were saying, I hope you cooked because I miss your food and I’m excited to meet those little mini versions of you.”

Or one mini version of Bastien. Sebastian and I had arranged a time for a call tonight, and I won’t deny that I’m a little nervous… It’s the one time we have arranged a timing, so there is a chance it won’t just be a quick thing…

I have a feeling he’ll ask me why I left like that… and with me asking Atticus, which I did tell them, I’m sure he might want details.

I lead the way into the lounge, pushing away those thoughts and smile, watching the twins who are playing with building blocks.

“Holy…” Jai mutters. I look at him and back at the kids, realising they are building quite an impressive structure.

“No Sia, like this see?” Zion says gently, showing his sister where to put the little piece she’s holding.

“Smart little buggers huh…” Jai whistles as the twins are so deeply immersed with what they are doing they don’t realise we’ve entered.

“Children, come on over here, this is… Uncle Jai, a friend of mine.” I say, drawing their attention away.

They both look up and Zion is the first to spring up and hurry over, with Sia a few steps behind. “Hello,” Zion says, holding his hand out to Jai.

Jai crouches down and I can see the emotions in his eyes. “Hey, Zion.” He says softly, taking his small hand and giving it a shake. “Love your hair.”

He ruffles his hair before I see him touch his chest and lower his head ever so slightly.

He’s acknowledging him as his future Alpha. He glances up at me and for once there’s no smile as he tries to contain his emotions, looking at Zion once again.
