I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 0170
ZAIA.
We step into the underground car park when all of a sudden, I feel an intense wave of emotions hit me, sorrow, despair… hopelessness?
What is this?
I look around the dark car park. The lights above are lit, and nothing is out of place.
How strange…
Llook over at Sebastian. He’s the same as ever, piercing blue eyes on me, dark hair that is combed back and that sex y jaw…
I look away. Why do I feel like this?
“Get in,” Sebastian says as he stops by the first car in front of him./ Or would you like me to lift you in? I could, as long as you are willing to reward me later.”
I give him a look, but his humour somehow puts me at ease.
My nerves are getting the better of me. After all these years I am finally going to be facing Sebastian’s family again.
There’s a strange feeling in the air, and I feel like there’s something
coming.
“Zaia?” I shake my head and look up suddenly, sucking in a sharp breath. “Are you ok?”
He’s concerned now.
“Sorry… I just….” I run my fingers through my hair, and he walks over to me, cupping my face.

Tingles from our bond course through me, and I grip his wrists, closing my eyes.
I feel stronger. His touch is comforting and protective.
I shake my head, unable to explain how I feel and wrap my arms around his waist instead. He seems surprised for a moment before his muscular arms wrap around me tightly and he inhales my hair.
“Hey…”
“Please… I just…” I can’t say it. I don’t want to voice the anxiousness I’m suddenly feeling.
“Don’t say anything then,” he murmurs, kissing my shoulder.
I frown, moving back slightly and looking up at him.
“How do you do that?” I ask quietly.
“Do what?” he asks, co cking a brow
“How do you read my mind?”
He looks confused for a moment before he raises both eyebrows.
“I wish I could, so I can know exactly what you’re thinking,” he replies huskily, combing his fingers through my locks.
I close my eyes, relishing in the feel of his touch.
“No, you’ve done it a few times, like right now; I thought I couldn’t say anything, and you replied. ‘Don’t say anything then.’
He lets out a throaty chuckle, gripping my chin. “You are easy to read, Little Fox.”
Am I really that easy to read?
He kisses my forehead, letting go of me, and opens the car door.”

Now let’s go.”
I sigh and get into the car. He shuts the door and gets into the driver’s seat, silently leaning over as he straps me in.
His eyes meet mine before driving out of the parking lot. He enters a security code, and his thumb is scanned before the wall splits open and we drive out.
I look out the window. “What do you think they will say?”
“They were angrier at me than they ever were at you. I’m the one who drove away their beloved daughter-in-law. I wasn’t lying when I said that my parents wanted you back. Dad and I don’t really talk.”
I look across at him. His voice is emotionless, but his eyes are cold. He and his father have never had a close relationship, but… if things are worse… it really must be rough.
“Well, whatever we face, we face it together,” I say softly.
He nods, taking my hand and kissing it softly.
Why does he seem… quieter since he marked me?
A wave of insecurity washes over me.
Before he rejected me, he was quieter… is all that charm just to win me over?
I remain emotionless, the fear of that thought clenching at my heart. I would have thought he’d want me to mark him, but he didn’t even bring it up…
But we haven’t really had time either..
Don’t overthink it Zaia, he must be worried about facing his father and he’s probably worried as he is now responsible for our safety.
