I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 468

‘We won’t succeed, will we?’ I ask Zade, my eyes fixed on Zion.

‘We won’t know until we try. There’s always hope,’ he replies. Our eyes meet, and I nod. He’s right, I can’t give up before even trying.

I look around the room, knowing that everyone must be feeling similar to how I am right now. The fear of not knowing if this is going to work or not is beginning to eat me up.

We all gather around, linking hands and placing those linked hands on top of Shelby. My heart is thumping as I close my eyes, listening to Zaia’s soothing words as she guides the children.

“Reach within yourself, believe in what you are trying to do, and it will be…”

Believe.

I feel the shift within me, feel the surge of my powers within me glowing around me, as I tighten my hold on Atticus and Zade’s hands, my heart thundering and I open my eyes. There’s a soft glow around us all, we’ve all managed to summon something, but it doesn’t seem to hold that powerful energy I’m certain should be stronger.

It’s wrapping around Shelby’s body, but it isn’t doing more…

Come on…

We’ve positioned ourselves with our triquetras, hoping that might help a little, although we are all holding onto one another. I see the concentration on everyone’s faces as we all will for her to get better.

Come on….

The light brightens before it suddenly diminishes, and then it’s gone.

“Try again,” Sebastian says curtly.

We do, but this time the light is even weaker… for a split second it flares before it sparkles into a fizz.

It’s as Sebastian said… it doesn’t work anymore…

We try again, and this time it’s Atticus who curses as he pulls away and turns his back to us. “It’s not working!” he says, his voice thick as he tries to hide his emotions.

“Maybe if you don’t fucking lose hope so fast and try again?” Zade suggests.

“Am I doing it wrong?” Xander asks, making my heart clench.

“Oh baby, not at all, well done.” Zaia smiles down at him reassuringly and he nods, closing his eyes and furrowing his brow. “Let’s try once more,” she adds, trying to sound impassive, but I can see that the failure is upsetting her.

I look at Shelby and smile warmly. “Even if this doesn’t work, we are going to do everything we can to find a solution,” I promise.

She nods. “Of course, I have no doubt, but I am alright. Atticus, darling…”

He looks back at her and shakes his head, refusing to meet her gaze as we join hands again and try once more.

I reach deep inside, willing my powers to come forth, the desire to heal her running through my veins.
