venge tour

I followed Raven quickly as we headed through the door to…well their apartment and down the stairs. “Where are we going?” I hurried behind her. It is time that these long–legged shifters consider that I must walk twice as much to keep up with them. “Will you slow down?” I asked, jogging to catch up to her.

“Sorry I was on a mission.” she states as she clicks the binker thing to her car. I should learn more about those.

“Should you be driving?” I question as she opens the door and climbs in behind the wheel of the car.

“I have a hypermetabolism from whatever they did to me. It takes a lot more than 14 beers to put me down.” Raven hiccups.

“Fourteen bee….” I don’t get to finish my sentence before Raven whips out of the parking lot, tires screeching and the smell of burnt rubber flies straight into my oversensitive nose.

“I think I’m going to be sick.” I cough, waving the stench away from me. Raven reached into her center console and pulls out a coffee mug with a picture of a middle finger on it.

“If you’re going to spew…spew in the cup,” she hands it over to me and I grip it in my lap for dear life. “Thank you for my barf cup.” A sentence I never thought I would say in my lifetime.

“Are you going to tell me where we are going?” I ask again.

“We are going to start a trauma bond healing….something. Trauma healing….no…I can’t say it all girly like you she–wolves. We are going to fuck some shit up.” she presses her foot down on the gas and I grip my mug tighter.

“Okay….healing…girls trip. Healing girls‘ trip. Sounds exciting.” I try and muster all the excitement I can while trying not to sound concerned. I hope we aren’t on the way to murder any of her past lovers or something, but I won’t pass up the opportunity to learn more about Raven.

“Mind–link your man and tell him we’re going to do a girl bonding trip. I don’t want him to go feral and hurt anyone looking for you.” Raven

requests

“Okay. He will still go feral, but the band lets him know how I am feeling. Are you concerned about Cyrus? Do you want me to let him know we are on a road trip?” I pull out my phone to type a message to him.

“I don’t know. It’s complicated.” Raven sighs

“What’s complicated about it?” 1 ask.

“I don’t know how to move on. I don’t know how to let what happen go. I don’t….I can’t be rejected again. I can’t. I’ll die.” She whispers, her voice full of pain and anger. “The whole thing isn’t fair to Cyrus either.”

“I don’t think Cyrus cares.” I remind her. He is clearly all in for her, in every way.

“He doesn’t care now. But what if he does later? What if I can’t get past the pain? V do that again.” she shakes her head, speeding up with anger set on her features.

What if I’m not good enough? I wasn’t once you know. I can’t

“I don’t think Cyrus leaving should be a fear of yours. In fact, I know you leaving is a fear for him.” I turn my head away from her, looking out the window of the fast–moving, snow–covered trees.

“That’s not fair to him either.” Raven states quietly.

“Such is life Raven. We are all dealt with a hand. It’s what we do with what we are dealt that matters. We don’t have to be products of our situations or environments. We can move on from all of it. We will have bad days, but the good days will far outweigh the bad. I will take this life over what I had any day of the week. I hope at some point you can feel the same.” I turn toward her and smile before she rolls her eyes at me.

“Nice motivational speech.” She laughs at me.

Thanks. I am practicing for my first speech as a Luna. Are you going to tell me where we are guing?” I ask for the third time I believe.

“I know where Thane rescued you from. It was written on a file in his office. Hate to spring this on you, but we are going to start your revenge.

Revenge

tour

tour.” She waves her eyebrows up and down at me and I am speechless.

“I don’t…I don’t know how I feel about this, What if there are shifters there now?” I ask, growing increasingly concerned and wondering if I should mind–link Thane.

“Then we kill them. If they are there, they deserve it.” Raven states matter of fact while she exits off onto a back road.

“What if I have a panic attack? I get them you know.full–blown..can’t breathe…going to die attacks.” I wave my hands around in the air

frantically.

“Then you get over it. It can’t last forever, right?” She asks genuinely. My eyebrows shoot up to my forehead.

“Can’t last forever? I think I could die from them. My throat gets all tight and sometimes I throw up!” I stammer.

That sucks. When was the last time you had one?” She asks.

“I don’t know. It has been a while.” I try

Then how do you know you aren’t healed of it?” Raven turns onto another road again and I am lost definitely.

“Well, I don’t. But I don’t think I am supposed to have extra stress being pregnant.” I remind her.

“I forgot about that. Anyway, you have superpowers, I’m sure it’s fine.” Raven waves her hand dismissively at me.

“I don’t have

superpowers

vers and no, I can’t turn you into a zombie.” I say, just in case she has the same irrational fear her mate does.

“What?” she looks at me dumbfounded with her brows furrowed. Just one mate is afraid of that then.

“Never mind. I’m tired. Wake me when we

we are close and I will decide if I will go in or not. I still think this is a terrible idea.” A horrible idea.

“Take a nap. You are getting growly,” she scolded me

“I’m pregnant and kidnapped by a fired–haired death god who doesn’t even have snacks. Good night.” I turn away and snuggle up next to the door. This is a terrible idea, but Aramana feels…dare I say excited. She was poisoned and I don’t know if she remembers that place and I don’t know how she will react. Me either for that matter. My eyes aren’t closed long before 1 drift off into a slumber.

2/2

I am awakened being shaken from the most x–rated dream of Thane I have ever had. These pregnancy hormones are running rampant or maybe it’s just me. I don’t know….he doesn’t care.

“What.what is going on?” I ask confused, sitting up and working the

“We’re almost there. And you might want to wipe that drool off of your mouth. Raven informs me and I wipe my chin.

We pull up the a huge building surrounded by trees and smaller outbuildings. Part of the building is burnt. I don’t see any shifters at all as Raven creeps the car up. “How did you know how to find this place? I look around.

“I swiped Thane’s map from his office. It was just laying out in his desk drawer. So weird.” she shrugs, turning away from me.

“Yes, so weird for his map to be in his desk drawer where anyone could take it.” I shake my head at her. I find her audacity humorous.

“How do you feel?” She asks, turning to me. How did I feel?

ed to escape a few times before

“You didn’t give up. You shifted to self–preservation. There is a difference. Raven says while staring at the building herself.

“I didn’t want to live. I often thought about dying.” I informed her.

“You did want to live because you are still here.” Raven turns to me again, her face emotionless.

“You got yourself out by staying alive.” She counters.

“I don’t know. Maybe I want you to switch from accepting what happened to you to doing something about it. Maybe this whole thing is pointless. Maybe you need to deal with emotions that you haven’t dealt with that you need to get out before taking the Luna roll, Maybe I brought you here because you should start this revenge tour. Taking down the ring..taking down your….. whatever you want to call Mikhail. It starts here…with you…JF it was me…I would start here.” Raven nods, something like fire flashes in her eyes. I feel a powerful aura off her. I realize her alpha aura.

“Phase one of healing and getting your revenge that you deserve and more importantly. NEED…is getting rid of this shit hole. Can you, do it?” I stare at the building before realizing Raven is quiet, still waiting for an answer. I think in my heart of hearts, I know that if I asked Raven she would turn around and drive me back. I think this trip was more about her running from her emotions she needs to deal with and less of me starting my healing here, but maybe we can do both one and then the other. I don’t know.

I feel a sick feeling in my stomach, but also a desire to see the inside again. Call it sick, but I am curious to see what is left.

“Not what is left. What you overcame. What you came through. What you prospered from.” Raven nods at me, encouraging my decision. I must have said my previous statement outloud.

1 tug on the mating bond a little and send a little love through the bond, I don’t think I have done anything wrong….yet by not telling Thane what we are doing. I mind–linked him that Raven and I were bonding but I think that he will rage when he discovers the truth. Not at me, hut her. Maybe a little at me, which I don’t want but I know it is out of protection. Maybe Cyrus can help us take the heat off the whole situation. A distraction? He was good at those.
