Fallen Moon

Chapter 30: Matching Scars

Raven's eyes faded in and out. She let out a yawn, reaching over to the side of the bed. The place next to her was empty. "Angel?" She sprung forward and took in her surroundings. The dresser, the broken armoire, this bed, she was back in the secret cave. She felt her neck only to feel a platinum chain around it. "Wait, this is-," Her fingers felt at the grooves of the ring forming an enraged wolf head. This ring, she recognized it. It belongs to Angel, this necklace, it was his. She took off the necklace and examined the ring. There was a name inscribed on the inside. Once she read it, she understood why this necklace was so important to him.

"Issac," Raven held the necklace to her chest. It was his name, the name that was erased when he became a vampire. This was all that was left of him. The last piece of his human life and he entrusted it to her. She wiped a tear from her eye. She wasn't going to let anything happen to this necklace. She wanted to wear it, always. But, she couldn't. If Lycan saw this around her neck, he'd ask questions. If any vampire saw it, they'd know it belongs to him. So, she had to put it somewhere safe. She walked to her dresser and put the necklace in the drawer.

"It's safe," Raven let out a sigh of relief. Wait a sec, how did she get here? Angel must have used a curse on her. He promised her. He wouldn't do that. Still, he gave her his necklace so she'd forgive him just this once. She grabbed her clothes and went to the stream to wash Angel's scent off her so Lycan wouldn't smell him. She put on a black tank top, distressed blue jeans, and a pair of black converse. She tied her hair up in a ponytail with a gray hair tie. As she was heading back to Nightshade. She noticed her sister on her way back as well. "So," Raven rushed to her side. "How was your vacation away from the guys?" She asked.

"I heard loud music and came running back." Claire answered. "Did you know that yesterday was Nightshade's birthday? I didn't know that, but yeah," She shrugged. "Turns out, you missed a birthday party."

"So," Raven rubbed her chin. "That explains why Lycan wanted a blowjob. He wanted me to blow out the candle. Whoops, my bad, granted, I probably wouldn't have done it anyway.What part of forced marriage does he not get? So, how was the party?"

"Insane," Claire replied. "I did not know werewolves could party like that. Like, did you know, we have a sister pack or is it more like a brother pack? I really don't know but we have a rival pack, it's called the Elemental Guard. It's lead by this guy Nikan and he spoke of this great Elder named Kami,"

"What," Raven grabbed her shoulders. "He knows Kami, like our Elder, that Kami, he knows that Kami. Oh bitch, where is he? I need to find this man now. We're looking for Kami, do you realize how huge of a deal this is? The Elders are the key to ending the war, where is Nikan? I need to meet Nikan now."

"He left early this morning," Claire answered. "They spent the night but left first thing in the morning. I know this because Jayson texted me. He wanted to know if Nikan could use my tent for the night since there wasn't enough space for everyone. I told him, he could but only if he agreed to stop calling me a bear trap. He slept outside."

"What's a bear trap?" Raven asked.

"It's a long story," Claire let out a sigh. "I'd rather not talk about it. Granted, I found my Alejandro by the way. There were some interesting guys there, the hottest one, Yule, for an ice user that guy is hot. Though," She blushed. "I might have done something really stupid."

"Oh no, not your first Alejandro. Of course, you did something stupid." Raven groaned. "Look, it's okay to see your Alejandro naked. It's not okay if he sees you. Unless, it is "The Alejandro" Because he doesn't care either way. So, what do you do?" She crossed her arms. "Did you follow him while he went outside to pee? Really Claire, do better. If you want to see a guy naked, do it while he's bathing. It's better, you get the full view."
