I Am The Luna

Late-Night Call

ZAIA. I reach home, shifting and transforming into. human form before I slip inside and hurry upstairs to the bedroom that Sebastian and I were going to take. I flip open my suitcase, rummaging inside.

So much has happened and with no staff here, everything isn’t even unpacked as I have not had the time. I pull on a gown before I pick up my phone and select Atticus’s name, pressing the call button. Please pick up…

It rings a few times before he answers it. “Hello?” he asks. His voice is thick from sleep, and I know I’ve disturbed him.

“Sorry, you were sleeping, and I called so late …” I say quietly. “No, it’s ok. You can call me anytime and that offer still stands if you’ve changed your mind about Sebastian.”

I roll my eyes. “Really, Atticus?”

He lets out a throaty chuckle. “It was worth a shot, so what’s going on, is everything alright?” he asks, and I hear rustling as he seemingly gets out of bed.

“Yeah, somewhat. I have a question about the Sable Triquetra. What are their marks like? I mean, are they the same as ours?” I ask. “That’s an interesting question. Why do you ask? Did something happen? Or did you see someone?” he asks sharply.

“Just answer the question, Atticus. Please.” “I don’t really know. I think they are pretty much the same. I’ve not read anywhere that the symbol is different. Why do you ask, Zaia?”

I sigh, feeling uneasy. Sebastian’s mark was sharper… and in the opposite direction of the V, but again, the symbol can be seen from any angle…

“I went to visit Sebastian a little earlier, and he has a mark that looks like ours, but where ours is an inverted V, his is a V… and…”

And the Sublime Triquetra is complete… what could this mean? I don’t say that part out loud. I’m not brave enough.

He’s silent before he speaks, and I can tell he’s choosing his words carefully. “What do you mean you saw a mark now? You two were married before and as much as I don’t want to think about that, you must have seen it at some point, correct? Unless you’re implying that it’s new?”

“It’s on the back of his neck and rest assured, it was not there before,” I say, pacing my room. He’s silent for a while. “Atticus?” I ask.

He sighs. “I was just thinking about what I told you the other night, that either way, regardless. of what side you choose, both Triquetras will be completed.” He’s thinking the same as I had thought…
