I Am The Luna

Chapter 0198
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…
Deep down it makes sense, but I wanted him to tell me another solution, another reason why it could be there.
, you’re saying Sebastian is the last piece of the Sable Triquetra?

Then they’re doomed because he’ll never choose them!” I say firmly, not wanting to even think of that as a possibility.
Please Goddess! There has to be something else! Another reason for
it.
“No… I don’t think he will choose them,” he sighs softly. “But this isn’t good. We don’t know what this really means. Sebastian is strong, da mn I won’t ever admit this to him, but he is stronger than I am. If he is a Sable, then we’re in trouble. The other two Sable members are powerful to-”
“Why are you talking like he’s about to join them? Goddess! That will not happen. That can’t happen.” I won’t think that into existence.
Wildcard.
“Zaia…
I sigh as I drop onto my bed.
“He said when you, Valeria and I formed that triangle that night, he heard a voice that said wildcard… I don’t want to be in denial, but can it be that a sixth person was chosen simply to complete the Sable Triquetra? But it doesn’t mean it makes him bad, right? Like he can’t ultimately be forced to join them?” I ask quietly.
There’s silence, but I wait patiently, praying he’ll say no.
Deep down I’m terrified… but I don’t want to believe that. I just don’t…
“I really don’t know and can’t lie to you about it,” he finally says, and I close my eyes.
