Everyone seems to let the words sink in and everyone seems to be listening. “But there is a problem,”
Atticus says, now looking at me before he steps forward so everyone can see him properly.
A problem?
“What is it?”
I ask. “Although it is our duty to protect, help and show people the correct path, there are those who will want to destroy us and the chance we are offering. Therefore, we need everyone to stay united, and it would be better if everyone tries to connect with their wolves.”
I frown at Atticus’s words, my heart thundering. “What do you mean?”
I ask, how did he miss mentioning this part when he told me?
Sure, I know they are dangerous and want me gone, but now that the Triquetra is complete….
“I’m afraid, now that you have chosen your side, they will try to eliminate us all. They would have seen the symbol… or the news would have gotten back to them.”
Fear rushes through those gathered, and I raise my hand.
“We have not done anything intentionally, and we will work on becoming one with our wolves again. We will remember Selene, her blessing and her gift. Nothing will happen to anyone.”
I promise.
A promise I’m not sure holds completely true, will I be able to protect them from everyone? I’m not so sure, but I will try my very best. “But even you yourself, Alpha Zaia have faced near death several times.”
“It’s complicated… but please, rest assured, we are going to figure this out.”
I say loudly, “For now you may go home. I wanted everyone to know the truth and the rest… we will handle. I promise!”
There are murmurs flitting through the crowd, and I turn my attention to Atticus. I’m pissed off. He had apparently forgotten to share that little tidbit with me. The whispers of the people reach my ears.
“Even the woman in the wheelchair was attacked… who will be able to protect us?”
“The Alpha is going to be leaving too.”
“Allow me to explain,”
Atticus says to me. “Later.”
I manage to reply. I don’t expand on my retort, absolutely seething as I stare back at him. Absolutely livid.
It’s an hour later, and we are back home as I glare at Atticus. “It was not necessary to tell them!”
I growl. “You left that part out when you told me.”
Atticus sighs, massaging his temple. Dad and Valerie are also here, and I’m trying to keep my voice down so the children aren’t disturbed.
“Calm down, Zaia. I told you they would hurt you. I told you they were dangerous. It’s not like I lied to you.”
“But you never said that once I pick a side that it will cause war.”
“War is inevitable. People who are believers will want those who have forgotten the goddess, dead.”
I sigh heavily. “They aren’t complete, the Sable Triquetra is not complete…”
It’s all that is currently givingme hope to continue.
“Not yet.”
“And they cannot be, because I chose my side,”
I say. Atticus looks down, clearly conflicted. “
They say that when you pick your side, and the Triquetra is formed, then both Triquetras shall be completed. That part has always unnerved me. How can both be completed?”
“Great, now you say that!”
I exclaim unhappily. “Maybe I’m just paranoid. Not everything we read or know might be correct.
My mind is thinking the same though. After all, wasn’t I the point needed to complete one or the other? Maybe it is nothing, but one thing I do know is we can’t risk it either.
“Look I’m sorry. Get some rest. We’ll talk properly tomorrow.”
Atticus says, patting my arm when he stands up.
I frown, but he’s right. Now that we are part of the same Triquetra, it means I can trust him and we need to work together going forward.
After Atticus bids farewell and takes his leave, I re-enter the lounge where Dad looks lost – deep in thought. “Dad, are you alright?”
I ask concerned, he looks so tired. He looks up at me before staring at the floor.
“There’s something Melanie said that comes back to me, remember that day in your room, the day she said the Triquetra is needed to purge the world of our kind who has forgotten our creator…”
He’s frowning, deep in thought, as he combs his fingers through his short beard. “And that sounds like which triquetra?”
I frown, wondering what he’s pointing towards. Purge the land…
“The Sable Triquetra.”
I reply, wondering where he’s going with this. Valerie is listening, even if she missed a lot, she’s sharp and I can tell she’s paying attention and that is something we can use. Her wit.
“Exactly, then she carried on to say, Repercussion, Retribution and Redemption, whereas the Sable Triquetra includes Rebirth and Revenge. I will not be speaking to her again as she can’t tolerate me… but I would advise you to keep an eye on her. You are going to the Dark Hollow Falls Pack. I can’t be there with you… so, please. Take care of yourself, for me and everyone else.”
My heart aches at those words. I will miss him, but I simply nod. Mom has been giving him and me a cold shoulder ever since earlier….
My face remains calm and emotionless; not wanting to worry Dad, but it’s the opposite of what I am feeling inside.
Unease is settling into my stomach and it’s growing. “So you think she knows more than she’s letting on?”
I ask.
But even as I say the words, it’s obvious that the possibility of that being true is extremely high. After all, she has lied far too many times already… and although it is something I don’t even want to think is a possibility, I have to face the facts. But if mom does know about it all, her living amongst us could be….
Extremely dangerous.
71. A Taste of Desire
ZAIA.
“I want to make a request.”
“Sure, what is it, Val?”
“I… I don’t want anyone to be allowed to enter my room without you. Valerie’s request replays in my mind even as I leave her room. She doesn’t even want Jai there…
What is her reason? When I asked her she said nothing, but for someone who doesn’t remember, she made it clear out there that she remembered some stuff. After all, she mentioned a ‘he’ I want to know more, but she’s not in a good frame of mind right now.
I head upstairs to the children’s room and for the first time, I feel uneasy about them being alone with Mom. It’s terrifying not being able to trust those around me. This makes me feel guilty too. She loves me, right?
I feel so… alone. With Dad having to stay behind, it will be on me to protect my children and Valerie. Jai- I can trust Jai and I think I can trust Atticus. I know I don’t agree with every decision he makes, but I don’t feel like he is the enemy.
And then, of course, I have Sebastian. The one I know I can trust no matter what. I’m grateful he will be by my side, right now I feel like he is what’s keeping me going. I need him.
But I’m still not getting anywhere. There are things that don’t make sense to me. I mean, Mom has been here for so long and always supported me… am I being paranoid?
Well, pondering over the why’s won’t help. I learned long ago, one should always trust their instincts….
I check in on the children, deciding I’ll be spending the night with them. I just want to check on Sebastian once more before I shower and head to their room.
Goddess, even in my own home, I feel uneasy. I check a few of the windows and look outside to make sure the guards are in place before I walk to Sebastian’s room.
When we returned Jai said Sebastian had awakened shortly afterwards and was restless, so had decided to go for a run. That’s something Sebastian always did and I’m glad he was ok.
I open his bedroom door after knocking lightly and look around the room. The bed is empty, but I see the slight dirt on the floor. Hearing the sound of the shower running fills me with relief, and I walk to the bathroom door. “Sebastian? Are you alright?”
I ask, my heart skipping a beat, knowing he’ll be naked inside. I stay outside the door.
There’s silence for a moment before he speaks. “Of course I am. Are you worried about me?”
“I was, and then you left for a run. Were you ok shifting with those injuries?”
I answer.
“Why don’t you step inside and take a look for yourself?”
he replies huskily. My stomach does a flip, but I don’t hesitate, slowly stepping inside. I see Sebastian in the shower.
My throat goes dry as I watch the water run down his godly body. Oh fuck…
