Fallen Moon

Chapter 09: Lunar Ball (Part 01)

Raven's navy blue eyes lingered on the Blood Moon as it rose higher in the sky. The Lunar Ball would start soon. The Vampires have yet to arrive. Part of her was curious to see those they were expected to kill during the war. This would be the only time she'd get to see them without trying to cut their head off. Perhaps, it wouldn't be a bad idea to size her opponents. She could look around and see who would be easy picking and who it was best for her to avoid.

"Ahem," Lycan cleared his throat. "Before the Lunar Ball starts. I want to go over a few things." He stood in front of his pack. "I take it you all brought your phones like I instructed." Raven didn't have a cell phone. Lord Grimm destroyed it after she gave up her fame. Claire still had hers, she was certain her sister was smart to bring it just in case. "If you do not have a phone, please raise your hand and I'll give you one. Courtesy of my father." Jay and Jayson were quick to raise their hand.

"Wait," Raven laughed. "Let me get this straight," She laughed again. "So the guy who broke my original phone is getting me a new one." Lycan nodded. "It's nice to see he's finally coming to his senses."

"Don't be a smart ass, Raven." Lycan handed her a new cell phone. She went to grab it before she could. He pulled the phone away from her. "Not so fast there dearest," She rolled her eyes at him.

"Let me guess more restrictions," Raven scoffed. "This is ridiculous, it's a phone. What do you think I'm going to do with it?"

"For starters, I can't have you cheating on me." Lycan replied. "I'm afraid as much as I'd like to trust you. I don't, there lies the problem." He pointed out. "So,I'm going to give you his phone under one condition." He handed her the phone. "I get to check it regularly if you refuse then I'll smash it and it won't be replaced."

"Fine," Raven stashed the phone into her cleavage. The only place she could hold a phone. Dresses weren't known for having pockets. "While you're at it," She smirked. "Why don't you tape my mouth shut too. I mean we can't have me talking to other guys either. It's pretty much the same thing."

"Still being a smart ass, I see," Lycan chuckled. "Adorable you're like a child. I look forward to shaping you into a worthy bride." He kissed her cheek. She wiped off her cheek afterward. "Cute," He grinned. "Jay, Jayson, here are your phones." He handed the werewolf twins their new cell phones. "I have news regarding these phones. I've spoken to the mayor of the town. Or at least my father did, there will be reception towers installed in our area. So, we can now communicate by phone at our campsite."

"This is so cool," Jay blurted out. Lycan scolded him in response. "Sorry," He stashed his phone into his pocket.

"As I was saying," Lycan resumed. "We will now be able to communicate to each other by phone. This means our once silent Beta," He turned to Alejandro, "Now has a means to communicate with you all by text message. That's if he chooses to." He held a cell phone out to Alejandro. "It's not much but do at least try to use it. We can't have you silent forever." Alejandro groaned and accepted Lycan's gift.

"Sweet," Jayson smirked. "We already got Alejandro's number bro." He showed Jay his contact list. "This is cool, we can text him and shit. I'll text him right now." Alejandro's phone went off but he didn't bother to look at the screen. "Well aren't you going to check it?" Alejandro shook his head. "Lame,"

"He's not answering because you're not his favorite." Jay spoke in a cocky tone. "See I'm his favorite. Check this out." He took out his phone and texted Alejandro. "He's going to reply, I know he is." Alejandro's phone went off but again he didn't bother to check it. "What, I thought I was the favorite."

"I guess he doesn't have favorites." Claire took Jay's phone. "Now that you've got a phone, I'll just add my number to your list. There," She handed Jay back his phone. "That way, I can contact you if we get separated in the ballroom."
