I Am The Luna

“Oh! Zade, this is Doctor Cassian Owen. Doctor, this is my boyfriend, Zade.‘

“Oh, nice to meet you, Zade,” he says, almost as if he’s something better than me and holds his hand out to me. I glance down at it before looking down at Valerie. “A little busy?” I remark, wrapping my arms around Valerie tighter. I don’t plan to return his handshake, not until I figure out his intentions. His background didn’t stand out, comes from a small family, working parents, and no siblings… but what did stand out was there was no image in his file… just his information. Cassian forces a smile. “Well, it’s… definitely good to have met you… Well, I won’t take any more of your time. I’ll call you, Valerie.” He gives her a smile before he turns away and I place my arm around Valerie’s. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Shall we get home?” I ask.

“Yes, I’m starved. I think I’m up for cooking tonight,” she says.

“I’m not very good at cooking, so I won’t be able to help you,” I add, I can only. do pretty much basics or hot drinks. We reach my bike and I lift her on. “You’re sitting up front today.”

“Really?” She looks a little excited and nervous as she puts her helmet on and I get on behind her. “Also, I don’t need help with the cooking, I can manage. I just need to unwind a little.”

Unwind… I feel guilty for what I’m about to ask her, but someone needs her help.

Revving the engine, we ride out of the hospital parking lot. “Before we do all that, there’s someone who needs medical attention, I was wondering if you were willing to have a look at them?”

“Oh, it’s someone you know?” she asks curiously.

“Two previous members of the Sable, well the younger one wasn’t really considered a member yet. ));

“Oh, what’s happened to them?” she asks.

“I’m not sure, Adriana, the elder one, got me some information I needed and then told me her sister was not well. She needed money for treatment yet struggled to find someone who would treat them as they aren’t chipped,” I explain. “Per the new laws.”

“Oh, I see. Did she say what’s wrong at all?” Valerie asks seriously.

“No.”

“Ok, we need to stop at home then, I want to get my supplies as we don’t know what we might need,” she explains.

“Sure… and thanks. I know you have been working all day.”

“Don’t thank me. I’m a doctor. It’s my duty to help people,” she replies.

I look down at her as she sits before me, before focusing back on the road. “This is a field you are fucking confident in, and fucking good at. This is the kind of confidence and control I want to see in you when you’re on the battlefield or in training,” I say quietly.

“Being a doctor is in my blood, like I can take control of the situation,” she

murmurs.

“Well… when I’m done with you, being a deadly alpha queen on the battlefield will not only be in your blood, but it will also be your complete personification. Rest assured.‘

Her heart skips a beat as she leans back against me, nodding.

“I don’t doubt you…”

“Good, I don’t go back on my words….” I murmur, and I don’t plan to… I will do as promised…. “So how was work?”

She begins telling me what she did today and I listen.

It’s peaceful, pleasant… just the two of us doing something so mundane as travelling home after an evening of work. The sound of her voice is comforting and soothing.
