I Am The Luna

37 Another Betrayal or | Am The Luna Chapter 115 By Moonlight Muse

ZAIA.

She’s not expectingto say that. All colour drains from her face and her heart thumps.

harder as she looks atand our eyes meet before she looks away, trying to compose herself, but it’s futile.

“Z-Zaia! Sit down dear, you are just confused-"

“I'm not Agatha. I'm not. | know the truth, and for someone who pretended to love her grandchildren... you sure

did ruin Sia’s life!” | snap, my eyes blazing.

“How can you blme? Zaia, are you out of your mind!” she exclaims, her gaze flitting to her lounge door.

“Am 1? | know everything. Your gis over Agatha.” | don’t have tfor this. | just don’t.

“Ok ok let's go downstairs, we can talk about this, ok, let's talk about this.” she fumbles, but it’s the glance

towards the lounge door again that makesuneasy.

“Open that door,” | order.

“So, you can ruin my safe place? You are unhinged, I'm worried for you Zaia, Let-"

Alright fine.

| push past her, slamming my shoulder into the door, putting all my strength and power into it.

“Zaia!”

The sound of splintering wood fills the air before | push the door open, ripping the froff from one side.

“ZAIA ENOUGH!” Agatha growls. She grabs my arm, her grip surprisingly strong as she tries to stop me.

| pull away, step into the room, and look around.

It has shelves around the room, most holding ornaments and books, as well as a few pictures. There's a lounge

chair to the side and what

doesn’t exactly fit in the room is the small desk that sits in the corner with a closed laptop in the very Centre.

“Zaia! How dare you act so rudely and disrespectfully? Don’t forget that | am your mother-in-law!”

I ignore her as | walk over to the desk. There's also a printer, headphones, a pot of pens, a cardholder

and-“Zaia!”

But I'm unable to look away from the cardholder. My heart thumps as | pick one of the square cards up, staring

down at it. It’s a plain card but that distinct finish... one | have seen so many times. One that always created a

sickening threat.

My stomach sinks as | pull open the laptop and there it is.

The screen shows several cameras around the pack all live and | turn sharply; staring at Agatha, who rushes to

my side, pullingaway as she slams the laptop shut, but | don’t move.

“You were the one behind the notes and the cameras. You were the one close enough to do it all...”

Her face drops, and she looks at me. “You are making a grave mistake, Zaia,” she warns.

“Am I? The proof is before me, and now is the tfor you to giveanswers. Although I think | can easily

connect the dots. You really are excellent at playing innocent.” | say, glaring down at the card in my hand before

| toss it at her.

My eyes are blazing as | grab her arm and take out the little syringe of wolfsbane | had put in my pocket. It

contains enough to stop her from mind-linking and jabbing it into her arm.

“You...”

“The question is why? Why would you do this?” | ask, ignoring her anger as she’s realised what I've done.

“I've heard enough! I'm going to call security!” She snaps about to leave the room when | block the door with a

blazing, glowing wall of aura.

“You...” she turns towards me, anger flitting through her eyes. Agatha turns to the door. ” Security! Security!

Help!”

“Silence!” | snarl, my aura command bleeding through my voice.

“Security!” she screams, and | hear running footsteps. Surprise flits through me, so she can defy my command.

“You are not my alpha!” she says with a sneer before turning towards the door, fear in her eyes. My alpha

command would still work to an extent, but I had just underestimated her.

“But | am the alpha of your men, “I say, my burning gaze turning to the door just as three men appear rushing

towards us. “Stop,” | command, making the men cto an abrupt halt beyond the glowing barrier. “Keep

watch.”

“Alpha...”

“Agatha King is a traitor, and | am simply questioning her.” | say coldly.

“Am 1? There is no proof! These men are witnesses to that!” she scoffs.

| glance at the guards, and | suddenly realise they are not on my side, even if my command has stopped them.

Of course, you would have allies around... but I'm prepared.

“Let's try that again. Why did you try to poison my children when they were still in the womb?” | ask, my voice

ringing through the small room.

My command is intense, as it seeps through every word that | speak and | can tell she’s angry, but then she

suddenly relaxes, almost as if she’s given up.

“How?”

“How what?” | ask.

“How did you find out?” she asks, now looking directly into my eyes.

| frown slightly. “Ethan. He may not have been able to tell me, but the loophole in that pathetic magic or

whatever you use is there. If they don’t speak when asked certain questions, it means a yes. All | had to do was

ask him the right

questions. | told all of you, Sable, that Ill find you.” | say venomously.

“I see...” she laughs softly before folding her arms. “It took you long enough, but it doesn’t matter. No one will

believe you. Sebastian has chosen us.”

“You underestimate me, and | really don’t care if...” No, I'm not alone. “If sdon’t believe me, because those

who are behindwill.” I finish.

“I am here for answers, Agatha, and | plan to get them. You must feel proud, thinking you're so smart. You are

only a small player in a gbigger than you.” | say, knowing that antagonising her would possibly getmore

answers.

“Small? | don’t think so.” She says coldly.

“You right, maybe not... since you go right back. You are the one who made that payment from my card to

Annalise’s apparent kidnappers. Pretended you hated her and liked me. You keptclose... well played. But |

want you to answer me, why you tried to kill my son in the womb?”

I'm ready for her to deny it or not speak, but she shakes her head. “You are selfish Zaia, this is above us all.

None of these werewolves deserve to live when they don’t even acknowledge our roots.”

“I've heard it before. I'm asking you about my son. Why did you try to have him killed?” | ask quietly, my

command enforcing my words.

She clenches her jaw, refusing to speak.

“As for the cameras, we've discovered them. Smart trick you had up your sleeve, but not smart enough.” | say

with a cold, mocking smirk. 1

For the first time, | see a glimmer of fear in her eyes.

“How?”

“That's forto know. It can’t be a coincidence that Gerard was chosen as the sperm donor for Sebastian. | can

understand wanting an alpha-blooded child, but for you two to be on the sside. A bit too much of a

coincidence, isn't it? Does Aran know?” | ask.

“You seem to know all the answers, so figure it out.” She shoots back, glancing at the guards who are standing

there looking unnerved.

| frown, but I don’t have tfor this. | walk over to her and take out my gun.’

“I'll get those answers from you in an interrogation. So, let's stop wasting tand get back to the one question.

Why? Why did you try to kill Zion?” | growl.

“You won't get anything from me! You say you're good and yet you are the one pointing a gun at me.” She

clenches her jaw and I've had enough. Slamming the barrel of my gun against her forehead and cocking the

trigger.

“Answer me! Why!” | scream.

“Because he is the key!” she screeches, pushing,away as she shields her head as the sound of a gunshot

rings through the room...
