I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 414

Chapter 0414 

VALERIE. 

We ring the doorbell of the small house that sits back from the rest of the block. The overgrown brambles cover the wall that surrounds the property, making it far more secluded than the neighbours, giving more privacy, or making it more dangerous… 

I’m holding my medical kit, feeling on edge, Zade’s unease bleeding into me and I’m on high alert. 

Zade is on edge too, his body shielding mine completely from behind but also ready for anything. 

No answer… 

He rings the bell again. 

“Why isn’t she opening?” I whisper. 

He shakes his head. “I can sense one heartbeat from inside… maybe two.” 

Frowning, he takes my wrist and guides me around the side of the house where he breaks one of the windows and climbs inside, lifting me inside. 

Blood. 

I’m hit with the smell of fresh blood from a wound that is new. 

‘Zade, something’s wrong.‘ 

‘Yeah…stay alert.‘ He moves quickly, scanning all the rooms quickly, closing each door after him. It’s clear they don’t really live in this house, there’s no furnishing in any of the rooms and there’s dust layering the floor. 

We reach the stairs and Zade takes two at a time, with me hot on his heels. 

“Adriana?” Zade calls as he slows down, scanning the hall, the smell of blood is far stronger up here. 

That’s when I see the dead body that is on the ground in front of us. 

What on earth… 

“Adriana,” he calls again as he steps over the body and my stomach twists when I see three more men dead. 

Did Adriana kill them?

My heart thumps as I see Zade stop in front of the door and I spot the bloody woman who is lying slumped against it, a gun in her hand, her eyes shut and her body is covered with stab wounds. 

She’s wounded! 

I rush over, ready to assist her as Zade taps her face, trying to wake her. 

“She needs tending to. Goddess, she’s got several cuts!” I say, just as her eyes flutter open. 

“Ada…” 

“You’re wounded-” Zade tries, but she shakes her head. 

“Ada, you need to save Ada,” she whispers, her gaze now turning to me before she glances at the door behind her, a door she was clearly guarding. She opens her hand, revealing a bloody key. 

Zade takes it and stands up. 

I look at Adriana, behind the blood you can clearly tell she’s a gorgeous woman, with platinum violet hair that falls in front of her face. She has green eyes and -she’s wearing all black. She is not what I was expecting at all… 

“Please save my sister, Doctor Luna.” She breathes, “I’ll be fine.” 

She tries to move only for her body to refuse to cooperate, and Zade picks her up and enters the room. 

“I’m fine!” She tries to argue with Zade, who holds the door open with his foot for me. 

“You’re hurt. Stop being fucking stubborn,” he answers coldly when she protests again, taking her over to the chair that stands in the corner and making her sit as she clutches her own bloody stomach. 

“I don’t care, I just need you to help Ada. Please.” 

“What exactly happened to your sister?” I ask, making my way over to the bed as I place my kit down and check Ada’s vitals. A blanket covers her, but I can barely sense her heartbeat, which is extremely low. 

“We were travelling, we wanted to cross the border… I had all the paperwork, but then at the checkpoint, we were told to get out as they wanted to search the car. 

Then we were dragged away. They took us behind a building and opened fire. We shifted and tried to escape, there were just too many to fight off,” she explains between pauses, her voice strained with pain.

Moving back the blanket, I get to work, starting with wiping the first wound; it’s infected due to how long it’s been left untreated.
