I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 0160
“We have not done anything intentionally, and we will work on becoming one with our wolves again. We will remember Selene, her blessing and her gift. Nothing will happen to anyone.” I promise.
A promise I’m not sure holds completely true, will I be able to protect them from everyone? I’m not so sure, but I will try my very best.
“But even you yourself, Alpha Zaia have faced near death several times.”
“It’s complicated… but please, rest assured, we are going to figure this out.” I say loudly, “For now you may go home. I wanted everyone to know the truth and the rest… we will handle. I promise!”
There are murmurs flitting through the crowd, and I turn my attention to Atticus.
I’m p issed off. He had apparently forgotten to share that little tidbit with me. The whispers of the people reach my ears.
“Even the woman in the wheelchair was attacked… who will be able to protect us?”
“The Alpha is going to be leaving too.”
“Allow me to explain,” Atticus says to me.
“Later.” I manage to reply.
I don’t expand on my retort, absolutely seething as I stare back at
him. Absolutely livid.
It’s an hour later, and we are back home as I glare at Atticus.

“It was not necessary to tell them!” I growl. “You left that part out when you told me.”
Atticus sighs, massaging his temple. Dad and Valerie are also here, and I’m trying to keep my voice down so the children aren’t disturbed.
“Calm down, Zaia. I told you they would hurt you. I told you they were dangerous. It’s not like I lied to you.”
“But you never said that once I pick a side that it will cause war.”
“War is inevitable. People who are believers will want those who have forgotten the goddess, dead.”
I sigh heavily. “They aren’t complete, the Sable Triquetra is not complete…” It’s all that is currently giving me hope to continue.
“Not yet.”
“And they cannot be, because I chose my side,” I say.
Atticus looks down, clearly conflicted. “They say that when you pick your side, and the Triquetra is formed, then both Triquetras shall be completed. That part has always unnerved me. How can both be completed?”
“Great, now you say that!” I exclaim unhappily.
“Maybe I’m just paranoid. Not everything we read or know might be
correct.
My mind is thinking the same though. After all, wasn’t I the point needed to complete one or the other? Maybe it is nothing, but one thing I do know is we can’t risk it either.
“Look I’m sorry. Get some rest. We’ll talk properly tomorrow.” Atticus says, patting my arm when he stands up.
I frown, but he’s right. Now that we are part of the same Triquetra, it

means I can trust him and we need to work together going forward.
After Atticus bids farewell and takes his leave, I re-enter the lounge where Dad looks lost – deep in thought.
“Dad, are you alright?” I ask concerned, he looks so tired.
He looks up at me before staring at the floor.
“There’s something Melanie said that comes back to me, remember that day in your room, the day she said the Triquetra is needed to purge the world of our kind who has forgotten our creator…” He’s frowning, deep in thought, as he combs his fingers through his short beard. “And that sounds like which triquetra?”
I frown, wondering what he’s pointing towards.
Purge the land…
“The Sable Triquetra.” I reply, wondering where he’s going with this.,
Valerie is listening, even if she missed a lot, she’s sharp and I can tell she’s paying attention and that is something we can use. Her wit.
“Exactly, then she carried on to say, Repercussion, Retribution and Redemption, whereas the Sable Triquetra includes Rebirth and Revenge. I will not be speaking to her again as she can’t tolerate me… but I would advise you to keep an eye on her. You are going to the Dark Hollow Falls Pack. I can’t be there with you… so, please. Take care of yourself, for me and everyone else.”
My heart aches at those words.

“So you think she knows more than she’s letting on?” I ask.
But even as I say the words, it’s obvious that the possibility of that being true is extremely high. After all, she has lied far too many times already… and although it is something I don’t even want to think is a possibility, I have to face the facts.
But if mom does know about it all, her living amongst us could be…. Extremely dangerous.
