I Am The Luna - Chapter 449
Chapter 0449
ZADE.
I don’t think she’d steal, but something is really off with this entire fucking situation.
She tries to move away, but the man grabs her. “Don’t touch me!” she growls, only for the man to yank
her back, about to grab her bag when she spins around, bringing her knee up as she grabs his collar
and knees him in the nose. The man splutters as blood spurts from the now clearly broken nose.
Just then, the other guard steps forward, and I intervene, grabbing him by his throat.
“I said to back the fuck off!” I snarl, doing my best not to snap his neck as my command ripples through
the air, but I am not their alpha.
Suddenly, three more guards are on the fucking scene. My aura flares, my eyes blazing as one of the
men grabs the strap of Adriana’s bag, roughly yanking it back. I turn, ready to pull her free from his hold
when a low animalistic growl rings through the air, making the men freeze.
“Unhand. Her.” The guttural growl comes, a voice I barely recognise. I turn to see none other than
Atticus standing there with a black towel wrapped around his waist, dripping wet and from the looks of it
he didn’t even rinse off properly as there’s still suds of soap on him.
The man instantly lets go and Atticus walks down the few steps, looking Adriana over.
“Are you hurt?” he asks. I watch sharply, looking between the two. Her heart is beating way too fucking
fast.
“I’m perfectly fine and was doing fine before you arrived,” she replies, her voice icy.
He looks over at me and I cock a brow, only for his frown to deepen when he looks me over. I’m sure
the love bites are still there, with some being a little low on my hips, but if my girl wants to get down and
naughty, I’m not fucking stopping her.
“I’ll call you,” Adriana says quietly to me before she turns, shouldering her bag.
Atticus frowns. “You need rest. Don’t rush to leave-”
She simply scoffs, cutting Atticus off before she breaks into a jog.
‘Adriana? What is going on?‘ I ask sharply.
‘I’ll talk to you tomorrow Zade, I need to clear my head. Please.‘

I don’t push it. Whatever it is, she’ll tell me when she’s ready. I watch as she disappears.
“Take my SUV and ring me when you get to your destination. The keys are with the valet,‘ I say through
the mind–link as Atticus steps forward as if about to walk after her, when I block his path. “Let your
valet know she’s taking my SUV and to give her the keys.” z
“Move out of my way.
“I think you and I need to fucking talk,” I say quietly, ignoring his command.
“Yeah, we do.” He frowns, staring down at me again. “What do you think-”
I cock a brow. “Not about my sex life, but what happened between you and Adriana for her to be in
such a rush to get out of here?” I’m observing him intently and, as predicted, he looks a little uneasy.
‘Nothing happened. I just…” He trails off as he looks me dead in the eye before he turns and looks at
his guards. “You are not to attack our guests.” He growls at them before he storms
inside.
I frown, watching him intently as I take the steps two at a time and follow him back in.
“Atticus.”
“I have let the valet know. This conversation is over, Zade. For Valerie’s sake, drop it,” he
says quietly.
I don’t plan to, but it’s obvious he won’t be giving me any answers. Shaking my head, I return to the
room we’re staying in, the smell of sex and Valerie instantly bringing my irritation down, but she’s not
on the bed as I commanded her to be.
Frowning, I wonder if she heard what happened and got up, but then I spot her to the side, standing by
the chest of drawers, staring down at her phone. Instantly I wonder what’s wrong, shutting the door.
“What’s wrong?” I ask walking over to her, wrapping my arms around her naked body from behind and
pulling her close.
She shakes her head and I look at her phone screen, where she has her calendar pulled up. Did she
miss something important?
“Baby girl? What is it?” I urge before she comes out of her reverie.
“Oh, sorry… I just… with everything that happened, I realised I’m not on birth control and…”
My stomach sinks, realising what she might be implying.

“Are you late?” 1 ask emotionlessly, really hoping she isn’t.
She tugs free as she turns and faces me. “I’ll find out tomorrow or the day after…”
I swallow hard. “It’s not a problem. We’ll deal with it if you are…. There’s a way to get rid of it. I don’t
want kids.” I say, not looking her in the eye. 7
Her breath hitches, her heart racing, but I’m unable to face her. “Get rid of it? I will never get rid of it,”
she whispers, sounding shocked.
I now look up into her eyes. “I wasn’t born to be a father. That’s not who I am… no kid needs that. Trust
me. You don’t want kids with me.‘
She opens her mouth and I know she’s about to argue with me, but I can’t. I just can’t fucking do this.
Turning, I head to the door again.
“Zade!”
I don’t reply, knowing she’ll never understand because she just sees the good in me. But there really
isn’t much. I’m a killer and I always will be. That’s not the kind of father a kid needs. My demons will
always be there. 2
“Zade!” I shut the door, and she doesn’t follow since she’s naked.
‘I’ll be back. I just need to clear my head.‘ I say through the mind–link. I owe her that much, but right
now I don’t want to be around her in case I say something that I can’t fucking take
back. 2

Stepping out into the night once more, I at the sky.
If she’s pregnant…
I don’t know what you’re playing at, Selene… but we both know that there’s something inside of me
that’s broken. Something that makes me unworthy of taking on the responsibility of a child. Ever. 7
