I Am The Luna

VALERIE

Two Months Later...

Shelby died exactly one week after her wedding day, it broke my heart knowing I could do nothing. Something as doctors we often face, we try our best, but it still doesn't mean we can work miracles.

My only solace is that she spent her last days surrounded by her loved ones and passed away in the middle of the night in Hugh's arms.

We all felt it. Hugh took it hard, but Atticus took it the worst. He drowned himself in work and right now I wished he had Adriana by his side, but with everything going on Zade is right. They need to find their way to one another by their own means

Life is so so so short to hold on to grudges. We visited often, especially since Ada was in no state to move, and the doctors and I advised against it. She's being given the best treatment she can get, better than what one would in a hospital where germs run rampant. But she is not improving and I don't think she will.

Adriana and Atticus have had run-ins on these visits, and I can only hope that soon they can move past this stage of wanting one another but having far too many issues to be able to.

But what I have learned from my own love story is it will happen if it is meant to, when the time is right.

"Are you sure you're happy with the paint colour?" Zade asks me, holding up the brown I chose for the bedroom. I smile and nod, coming out of my thoughts and looking down at the papers I have in front of me on the bed.

"Yes. This one I am."

"Great." He sounds relieved, but I totally get it. I mean, it took me ten trips to finalise the exact shade of brown I wanted.

The owner of the house we were renting agreed to sell it to us, and he also joined our pack. We purchased the land nearby and we are building this pack from the ground up.

I stick my tongue out at him and he smirks.

"Keep at it, and I might end up painting that body of yours with my own colours," he says, placing the paint tub down and coming over to me as he grabs me by the throat and pushes me back onto the pillows.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I smirk, wrapping my hand around his wrist.

"Don't tempt me... you know I want..."

He leans down, kissing me roughly, choking me as he assaults my mouth. Pleasure courses through me as I lay there,

parting my legs so he can get closer, and I kiss him harder.

A knock on the door makes me tense, and I internally groan.

'Zade, they're here...' I moan through the mind-link.

"They can wait, his rough reply only turns me on more. Hut no, they can't wait, because tonight is a party in honour of our newfound pack.

Zade

He pulls back, his eyes blazing, and I smile as he releases my neck

"Tonight," I murmur.

"I'll hold you to that, he remarks as he adjusts his pants, but his oversized hoodie covers him up. But I know how hard he is under that. I lean over, slipping my hand under the oversized hoodie and stroke my favourite toy

"Please do, my Sexy Stallion..." I lick my lips before he pulls me off the bed and yanks me closer, rocking me slowly as he hugs me.

"You're fucking perfect."

I tilt my head. "And so are you..." I run my finger down his jaw. This is my man, my world... I can't imagine a life without him, not at all. Gazing into his eyes, I realise just how far we've come and what a gem he is.

I cup his face just as there's another knock and Atticus' voice comes into my head, but I block it out, tiptoeing and kissing his lips softly.
