She Is The Luna

CHAPTER FOUR

CHAPTER FOUR.

ZAYN’s POV.

When I saw her at first, I knew something was wrong and it was more bizarre that part of me felt her pain. When she cried and when she went unconscious. There and then, I wanted to hurt the man who hurt her and made her cry. She looked so pained and so fragile crying like that, she looked like the weight of the entire world was on her shoulders.

That look reminded me of her, she had that same look in her eyes that very day.

As soon as she fainted, I gathered her up in my arms and took her towards my car before driving off towards the airport. I don’t know why but the need to take her far away from this city.

Now here she is, seated in front of me looking pale and weak. The pack healer checked on her and said she was pregnant and from the look of things, she knows.

She lets out a sigh and wipes the tears that is threatening to fall out of her eyes.

“Where are we?” She asks after a while.

“Seattle” l tell her, “we are in Seattle” and I see how her eyes pop out.

“How did we get to Seattle from New York so fast?”

“Technically you were unconscious” I reply.

She swallows hard, her gaze leaving mine for a moment.

“Thank you for helping me, Mr Zayn. I really appreciate it but I need to go back. My mate and my husband, I can’t…

“Your driver told me everything” I cut her off, “and I am not letting you go back there”

“You do not even know me”

“I know you now”

Avery let’s out a sigh as she sniffs back a tear again. For a moment, I can’t help but admire her. She has the most gorgeous set of eyes I have ever seen and her inky black hair makes me want to run my hands through it. Thin yet full lips and an overall beautiful face. She reminds me of her..

“Why are you helping me?” Her voice jolts me out of my thoughts again, “if this is because of the property, I am not going to sell it to you”

“I do not need your property princess” I tuck a few strands of her hair to the back of her ear, “I just want you to be fine and take care of yourself. You are pregnant, you do not need so much stress”

She stares down at her tummy for a while, her hand gently touching it. I see the pain in her eyes intensify and I clench my jaw together. I don’t know why it hurts me to see her in this situation. I have only met her today and I am already feeling compassion towards her, even my wolf feels it too.

“I didn’t say I would keep the baby” she says after a while,”he cheated on me with my sister and even got her pregnant. I can’t keep a baby for that kind of man. I am glad he didn’t know, i will get rid of it and jus…

“You will do no such thing” I sound a bit irritated now and it kind of surprise me.

“Your wolf is in a bad state now, I am not letting you do anything that will harm you”

“And why are you so concerned about someone you only met a few hours ago?”

“That’s not important” I gently pull my body off the bed, “I am going to leave you to take some rest now, I will be back later with dinner for you”

She doesn’t say anything and I turn around to walk out of the room but her next words halt me.

“You truly are the alpha king?”

“Do I look like I am lying?” I turn to her, my hands on my waist.

“I didn’t say that…

“Good, anything you want, let me know”

With that, I walk out of the room.

Only the moon goddess knows what would have happened if I didn’t get to that house on time.

As soon as I enter by study, I pick up my phone and call my assistant who answers on the first ring.

“Sir”

“That property back in New York, I want you to send me the details of the person who put it up for sale”

“Okay sir, I will email it to you right away

“Good”

As soon as I am done with the call, the study door opens up and Van saunters In, Van is my beta and one of the strongest wolves that I know.

“Did you bring what I asked for?”

“Yes, alpha” he hands me an envelope and i immediately open it, skimming through it.

Avery Delores, twenty five years old. No work experience, a full time house wife and she also takes care of the pack. Both parents dead and she has a half sister.

This makes me so upset, that’s why that prick had the nerve to hurt her the way he f*****g did.

“And this is for her husband”

I collect the envelope from him again skim through it. He owns city hospital, one of the biggest hospitals in New York and he is into real estate.

At that moment, my phone chimes with a message and when I read the email, my blood boils even hotter. He is the one who put her house up for sale.

I pick up my phone and call my assistant again and he answers almost immediately.

“Set a meeting with him, I will like to speak to him”

“Okay sir”

With that I turn my attention to van again, “I won’t be coming to the pack house for a while so make sure to take care of it in my absence”

“Yes, alpha”

“Good, you may leave”

I watch him walk out of the room and I close my eyes, pressing my head against the chair.

I don’t know why I got upset when I saw tears in her eyes or when I held onto her, it’s not like I know her and I am certain the moon goddess is not generous enough to bless me with another mate.

I let out another sigh, massaging the space between my brows.

My door opens up and Naomi enter, my litle sister.

“Who is she?” She asks me, “I saw when you brought her in and you were in her room for most part of the day”

“A friend” I respond and I scoff, is she even my friend?

“You and I know you do not keep friends, Zayn”

“So quit asking me questions, you do not need to know her”

“Well, it’s odd because you hardly bring anyone to the house so..

“If you have enough time on your hands, why don’t you visit the pack house? A few wolf hunters have been caught” glee appears in her eyes, she loves to torture people like that.

After our parents died in a pack war, my sister has been the only person I have allowed into my safe space and now, Avery is here in this house in the guest room. A part of me wants to protect her but I don’t know why. It feels like I am familiar with her but I can not pinpoint the reason.

“I will go to the pack house now” she tells me and turns to leave but halts, “she is really pretty” and like that she disappears out of the study while the image of Avery winds its way into my head again.

How can a man cheat on a lady like her? Beautiful is an understatement to describe her. The moment I set my eyes on her, she literally took my breath away.

I hear my wolf howl inside of me and I understand why, it has been ten years since I let anyone get to me like this.

“What the f**k is happening?” I mutter under my breath as I let out another sigh but my eyes catch the cctv in front of me and a small frown appears on my face when I see Avery. Where the hell is she going and why is she tiptoeing around the house?

Pulling my body out of the chair, I walk out of the room and meet her near the stairs. The moment she sees me, she freezes.

“Are you trying to run off?” I ask, my forehead creasing into a frown.

“I just need to clear my head” she responds.

“Then why the tiptoe?”

“I didn’t want to stress anyone out. I just want to leave and just….” Her voice trails off and I bite down on my lips lightly staring back at her. Is it even possible to be so concerned about someone I met just a few hours ago because right now I feel like ripping his head off his body.

“I told you to call me if you need anything”

“Look I do not even know you” she snaps, “and stop acting like you know me because you don’t. Yes, you helped me but I want to leave. It’s absurd being in the house of another man a few hours after I signed my divorce papers and broke my bond. And don’t act like you care about me, Zach did the same thing and what did that get me?”

“First off, I am not Zach and secondly I didn’t say I care about you. I am concerned about you and I don’t know why. That s**t Is f****d up. Part of me couldn’t leave you alone back there and that’s why I brought you to my house”

Avery doesn’t say anything again but she keeps looking at me, a kind of look that i genuinely can not comprehend right now. Why the heck is she messing with my head?

“Wanna go for a drive?” I ask after a while, my gaze still on her.

“I do not want to bother you”

“There are some clothes in your closet, have a change and I will pick up my car keys”

Not waiting for her response, I turn around and walk down the hallway, the image of her pouty lips in my head.
