Chapter 81

As we got closer and closer to the place I was supposed to meet them, I felt sick. My heart was pumping faster than normal and I didn't know what to expect. If she had given me more details then I wouldn't be so stuck and frantic. Why did she have to be so sneaky, oh yeah it was her nature after all I wouldn't blame her. but I thought she had left our lives forever, what happened this time?

We pull off to the sight and sure enough by the broke down booths there was Aiden and the she devil by his side. Seeing this sight couldn't have confirmed more what I had feared and what I have thought about this whole way. This was craziness, why were they together? This was messing up with my head.

I don't want to drop down and seal my fate the way I thought it was going down. I don't want to go out and hear what she has to say. All I want is to stay in bundled up near the fire place cuddling with everyone dear to me, my family.

But why did life have to be so cruel, why did it have to be unfair? Was it something I did in my past life, was I being punished for something I was not aware I had done? Was there even an explanation to what ever karma had befallen me?

Sitting here and worrying of what might not even be was unproductive. What ever it was that was going to transpire here today still had to happen and it wasn't going to if I chose to root myself to this seat, I had to get off.

But I was weak, I am not even sure if my legs were going to support me once they touched the ground. My balance felt off even when I was seated here like this in this nice car. It was built to be comfortable, no one could deny that fact but right now the seat wasn't comfortable at all. It felt like I had needles pierce my soft delicate skin. This was unbearable but since the wench was out there I was not going to be pray to her sick games, at least I wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of watching me crumble.

What ever it was I was prepared for the worst. If it meant being strong when I was in fact fragile. I was going to break like cheap china but my front was going to show the Luna I was. I did not just go for a God forbidden ritual and come back unscathed for no reason. I was going to take this to the hilt even if it killed me.

I finally drop after what seems like a whole eternity that the stars had time to burst and create new life just like they say it on those corny science channels. I was in heals, red ones. I was in a very short plain black dress covered by a khaki trench coat. I was dressed to kill. If you told me I was dying today, I would die a pretty death.

Composing myself, I walk past the exact spot Ethan was murdered. Only bad memories of this place existed in my mind I didn't trust it to make good ones this time.

For all I care, I could have been imagining the worst case scenario when it was not in fact like that. But taking the place I was and who called me, I would bet all my life savings and say not likely.

I stare into her face as I cruise across to seal up the gap in between us. I second a glance to Aiden and his face is blank and devoid of any emotion. Not anger, not humor, not sadness just blur.

Help, I silently plead, give me something to work with. He remained blank. I look back to the woman in question, Claire.

Yes it was the witch who almost killed me and my babies, come to think of it she might be the one who kidnapped my pups. I don't know why I had never thought about it before, she tried to kill them when I was so kind as to let her in in her time of desperation. If at all she was in need of help.

I stand there looking, I wasn't going to be the one to initiate the conversation, she called me she tell me herself her reasons of being kind and inviting me over to the most shady part of the forest.

Looking around, all I see is trees, trees and trees and trees. Perfect place for a gang to kidnap torture and kill their victims. Scary sight.

I return my gaze back to Claire and wait for her. she was busy looking me up as if to compare myself to her, was this what it was about? The best woman? For who, my husband? It was clear who the best woman for Aiden was, his wife of course. If not, why was she his wife and not another girl?

I was developing unnecessary petty drama in my head when the person in subject was yet to speak. The suspense she was leaving hanging in the air was going to suffocate me and maybe die saving me from ever hearing what her say is.

"So it is the Luna herself in my presence, ex Luna I mean" she finally speaks. Her voice drawling like she was trying excessively to be sensual. I'm afraid it had a negative effect on me or was I just prejudiced. Either way a man would still be repelled by whatever she was trying to do.

Commenting on her choice of dialog was pointless to me, all I needed was her to get on straight to the point with no pointless chit chat that was going to save no body.
