I Am The Luna

17. A Blazing Rage or I Am The Luna Chapter 95 By Moonlight Muse

ZAIA.

I watch as Olivan rushes towards the window. The taste of betrayal stings strongly. Jai growls as Atticus launches himself at Olivan who kicks him off, knocking the wind from him, and making Atticus inhale the gas.

“Atticus!” I shout as Olivan pulls out a gun, but it’s knocked from his hold when Jai throws himself at him.

“Bastard!” Olivan snarls, throwing Jai off him with such power that Jai is thrown back. He hits the corner of the table before crumbling to the ground.

I snarl as I run over to him. We’ve all inhaled enough of the poison, we need to get out of here. Disappointed, pained, and absolutely stupid.

That’s how I feel. Anger rises through me, and I stand up, grabbing the chair and flinging it at Olivan, who dives to the side. He’s on his feet again and he pulls the trigger on Atticus, who dodges, kicking his legs out from under him.

From the way Atticus moves, I can see why Sebastian always saw him as his rival in a way. Atticus is fast and from the sound of something breaking, powerful as well.

I help Jai up when suddenly, a gunshot goes off and Jai throws me aside. My eyes widen in horror as the bullet hits Jai’s shoulder. “No…” I choke out, my eyes stinging. I’ve inhaled too much….

You are not getting away. I turn my blazing gaze on Olivan, who rushes to the window, smashing through it as he shifts mid-air. He isn’t getting away with this!

I leap over the broken chair piece and over the table, shifting into my magnificent wolf once more. Just like last time, it’s effortless and smooth and with my new speed and size, manage to claw into his back just as he shifts and launches himself through the window.

I’m about to follow but the moment I reach the window, something blocks it and I hit a wall, and am thrown back, accidentally inhaling the acidic gas that makes my stomach burn agonisingly.

I glance at the window, realising the wolves outside have blocked it. I run at the window once again. That wall will not hold me in! Jai is coughing and so is Atticus as they both try to break through the door, which is also blocked.

“Zaia! They will be waiting outside!” Atticus warns, his anger clear in his voice. “Fuck it!”

I don’t listen, unable to focus on anything but finding Olivan. Inside my own head, it feels like I’m thrown to the back of my mind, my own emotions a thousand times heightened and all I want to do is tear into Olivan. To rip him apart and to make him pay for what he has done.

I launch myself at the window once again, my eyes blazing but the window is reinforced. I can hear the beat of many hearts on the other side. He had it planned out…

I simply gave him a few nights to plan this. I snarl as I slam into the metal barrier they’re holding against the entrance. The gas in the room is rising and I can no longer see the others.

I think one of them says they need to find the source through fits of coughs..

I’m running out of time…

We are all getting weaker…

“We need to get out of here! I think the walls are thinner here!” Jai’s voice says as he hacks into the door that we had entered from. I hear him groan, and it only makes me angrier. The gas has stopped

filling the room, but it’s getting to us all.

I’m not going to let him get away…

How dare he.

Olivan…

This was their plan. Get us here and try to kill us…

I see red as I turn to the walls of the cabin. Backing up to the other side, I break into a run, summoning forth every ounce of my power.

“Zaia! No! Sebastian will kill us!” Jai shouts, but I’m too focused on my goal and I slam into the wall with immense. force, hearing the cracking of the thick wood.

Again! I back up and run at the wall – faster, throwing my side into the wall and this time it splinters completely and I burst into the open night sky. I take a gulp of clean air.

I see the group of wolves who are reinforcing the window a few feet away and I snarl at them before I turn and scan the dark. I have no time for them.

Olivan is my target. I scan the grounds, searching for him, but I glance back at the exit I had created and see Atticus and Jai both step out.

Atticus has now shifted and he’s attacking the wolves whilst Jai is still in human form, gun in hand. I know he can shift, but it’s obvious he has more confidence in his human form. Whatever works for him. Where are you?

I sniff the air, picking up the smell of his blood.

You’re mine. I follow the smell, breaking into a run when I catch sight of Olivan’s wolf and rage flares through me once more. Like a dimming fire that has just had oil poured upon it, rejuvenating it once more.

“We need to fall back!” Jai growls as he begins firing at the wolves, a few drop to the ground, but there are too many. No, first I need to find him.

I continue running, my feet barely touching the ground. I close in on him fast, and several wolves launch themselves at me, but I barrel through them, my aura like a shield around me, throwing them back.

I have never been so angry…

He’s close, the thundering beating of his heart and my own become incessantly louder.

He’s mine! My claws sink into Olivan’s back, and I rip through his flank. Satisfaction floods me and I rip through him again. He lets out a howl as he stumbles, but I don’t feel any remorse.

What am I doing?

I’m unable to control my rage as I tear into him. Blood sprays over me and the smell fills my nose. It isn’t enough and I’m ready to end him. How dare he try to betray me!

His injuries force him to shift back to human form and he’s now at my mercy! Other wolves are closing in on us, and I only have a few seconds to think.

I’m thrown to the ground, but I’m not down for long. Within seconds, I’m before him as he tries to pitifully clamber away. I can see Atticus slashing into wolves just a few metres away from me. If I end him… I will become the alpha of these people…

But do I attack a man who is down? A man who betrayed me. The choice isn’t hard, but I only have seconds. A few seconds to either run or to kill.

I look down at the man on the ground whose eyes burn with victory, and I make up my mind. My heart thumps violently as I raise my claws.

“No… don’t!” Olivan shouts.

It’s too late for that.

“Zaia!” Jai’s panicked voice comes just as I tear into Olivan’s chest and rip out his heart. I feel the shift of power as his life ends and I let out a thunderous roar, my glowing aura swirls around me and I shift back to human form.

I feel the power within me strengthen immensely and the connection between the rogues and me forming. Atticus reaches me, his wolf standing before me protectively as several wolves close down on us.

“I am your Alpha! Submit or I will kill you!” I snarl the shocking words in a voice that I can barely recognise as I hold up Olivan’s heart.”

Right now, I feel more like a beast than a human. This was a necessity to show them that I am the Alpha. My heart is still thumping as the wolves come to a skidding halt, their gaze turning to Olivan’s dead body on the ground. The realisation of what has happened sinks in.

I stand there, my hair falling over my face, blood covering my face and running down my body. The entire forest seems to still and I’m sure they felt the shift in power.

They look at one another, uncertain for a few moments before they bow their heads in submission to me, shifting to human form.

“For the Sable who I know are watching! I’m ready. Stop hiding like cowards and face me. Let’s see how powerful you really are.” I snarl into the dark woods around me.

I know they’re here; I know they’re watching and above all, I know they are biding their time…

I scan the area. The smell of blood, poison and smoke fills the air. There are several dead werewolves scattered around and my heart almost stops when I see Jai on his knees, blood spilling from his chest.

Is he ok?!

My only consolation is that he is still upright, but we needed to be fast. My eyes blaze with anger, and power as I fling Olivan’s heart into the trees.

And when I speak, my voice rings through the night sky, the goddess herself a witness to my words. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
