Fallen Moon

Chapter 23: Answers

When Raven returned to Nightshade Campsite with Lycan. Which based on their conversation on the way back. Lycan told her, he'd be busy for the rest of the day. He had to call his father and make arrangements for the war. Once he was done he would discuss war stategy with Jay. He planned to be up all night getting things ready. The wedding was over, now it was time for them to prepare for one last clash with the Vampires. 

Time is running out, if they didn't find the Elders soon. Her relationship with Angel could be exposed or worse, they might need to kill each just to keep up the charade so at least one of them lives. No, if it came to that, she'd be the one dying, not Angel. She wouldn't let him throw his life away for her. No, she couldn't think about that right now, right now, she needed to focus on helping Angel find out as much as he can about these Elders. Starting with the-

Raven's dark blue eyes wandered off into the forest where Jay stood. He was hiding behind a tree, his dark amber eyes staring at her. He rubbed his eyes as if he'd seen some kind of mirage, So, just like Alejandro, he was starting to see her too. In truth, now that Raven knew who the woman was. It didn't bother her anymore that most of Nightshade saw her, when they looked at her. Now that she understood it a little better, she could accept it.

"I'll be in my cabin," Lycan kissed her cheek. "Don't bother me, I have business to attend to." He walked ahead of her and toward his cabin in the campsite. Raven's eyes lingered on their fearsome Beta as stood there guarding the entrance to Lycan's cabin like he always did. His arms crossed, his back leaned against the wall, and his eyes closed. Seeing him, reminded her that there was something she needed to return to him. 

Raven began to remove the black beaded bracelet with the clover charm on her wrist. When she did, that's when she saw Jayson emerge from his tent. Once his dark amber eyes saw that bracelet on wrist. His gaze became full of anger, he rushed over to her moving so fast, before she see him move, his hand was already squeezing her wrist. 

"Where did you get that bracelet?" Jayson  growled. "This bracelet doesn't belong to you. So I'll ask again," He glared deep into her eyes. "Where did you get it? Answer me." He squeezed tighter on her wrist.

"What's the big deal?" Raven jerked her arm free of his grasp. "It's just a bracelet." She could feel his anger building just from her saying it was just a bracelet. "Unless, it's not just bracelet," She might be able to use this bracelet to get some information out of him. Seeing as her simply wearing it had Jayson in fit of rage. "So, who did this bracelet belong to?"

"That's ugh," Jayson blushed. "That's none of your business. Just it take it off already, it's not yours." He tried to snatch the bracelet from her wrist but she moved her arm away. "Give me the damn bracelet, it's not yours." 

"Then who's is it? Raven asked. "I'll return it to it's rightful owner I just need a name." 

"I'm not telling you shit," Jayson glared at her, "Know what fine, keep the damn bracelet, it's not like it bothers me one bit." He stormed off in anger. "You know something else, that bracelet is very ugly and it doesn't look good on you. It almost makes you un-fuckable." 

 "I disagree, I think it's a very pretty bracelet." Raven put her hands on her hips. "Since it doesn't bother you, I'll just keep wearing it, besides," She smirked. "It's not like I'd want to have sex with you anyway so knowing that it makes me un-fuckable. That only makes me want to wear it more. In fact, I may never take it off."

"Well then fine," Jayson barked. "Keep wearing the damn bracelet. It's not like I care, I just think it's ugly, like your face." He walked into his tent and sealed off the entrance. Did he just call her ugly? She is not ugly, that is no way to talk to your princess. She did not marry Lycan so he could call her ugly. She'll have a word with him as soon as he gets out of that tent. By word, she means she's going to kick his ass until he apologizes.
