I Am The Luna

"She isn't one to cry... so that speaks loud enough," Zade says quietly as he sits back and glances at the open doors. "Let's get her back home."

I nod, for once agreeing with him, and he motions for my men to shut the doors. They glance at me, and I nod, giving my approval.

"To the original destination,"

"Yes, Alpha!"

After a few moments, the ambulance begins moving and I stare down at the woman in my arms. I had wanted to see her happy, see her excited to have her sister close by... Valerie and my doctors all said moving her wouldn't affect her condition

Guilt rushes through me and I hold her a little closer, combing my fingers through her hair. If we didn't move her, would she have been ok?

Deep down I know that isn't true, but I can't help but wonder.

I glance up to see Zade looking at Ada expressionlessly. I can't tell what he's feeling, but that's just the way he is. Closed off and good at appearing cold.

He scoffs, almost as if he can read my thoughts as he turns his attention to me. "Why the fuck are you even holding her?"

"Why should I let you?"

"Makes more sense that I take care of her than the mate that rejected her, don't you think?" He sits back, cocking an eyebrow.

"I didn't reject her. I just needed to come to terms with everything. You wouldn't understand."

"Oh, I fucking would. My mate and I are from extremely different lifestyles, remember?"

"Yeah..." He's right...

"She doesn't fit the mould you're looking for. That's the fucking truth, isn't it?"

"Like I said to you before, you don't fucking know anything."

"Then explain it to me. Why were you avoiding her back then? Why didn't you want to accept that she is your mate?"

"You really know nothing."

"Do you think you're too good for her? That's the fucking truth righ-"

"No, it's not!"

"Then fucking tell me why!"

"Because! Because I ans net blessed vugh to ever have something good! It was sedy a matter of tourneren wasn't the type of guy she wants to be with. So, it was better in avoid the inevitable rejectum Phe once, I'm fucking glad he doesn't show emotions on his face because I just made myself sound like a fucking

idiot

"So, without even knowing her, yver assumed all that trulshit? Zade raises an eyebrow

"Don't act like I did something stupid, She's grown up around men like you."

"Jealous?"

"Oh, not at all But there are different kinds of people in the world, Zade. And we are very different, and rest asatred, I don't want to be anything like you."

That makes him smirk slightly, "Yeah, not everyone can be me"

"Lcould say the same about me."

"Good to low, cus I didn't take you for the type to be insecure about yourself, but my question is how can you know what she might want without even giving her a chance to make her own choice? You might be surprised that there may just be something she decides is good enough to stay for."

"That sounds almost like a compliment from you."

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just saying Adriana is pretty different from most women. She might just be a little delusional."

I chuckle a little at that as I look down at her. She's still curled into me and I'm enjoying just holding her tight.

Different... that's why she stands out. She's an incredible and brave woman, and there's something about her that makes every other woman I know pale in comparison.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Tears still linger on her cheeks and, one-handed, I brush them away gently.

Maybe I should just be myself and give her a chance to make that decision... I'm already drawn to her. I have nothing more to lose... But for now, I will be there for her without expecting anything in return. And when she feels better maybe I will just try not to hold back and see what is written in the stars for us.
