Chapter 3 Summary Part 2

Moccha receives a call from Faolan. He has information about her family research and wants to meet. Moccha agrees to go and, on the way, visits Ama’s studio using the key she received. While Moccha explores the place, she finds a note addressed to her where Ama explains that she was also a seleni. This revelation, along with all the other events, floods Moira’s magic memory dam and breaks it. Moccha starts to piece together events that involved the seleni, and finally understands that she is one too!

Meanwhile, Chandra spends time with her college friends, enjoying a steamy time, the three of them together and celebrating their history. The experience proves to be more than just a distraction as Chandra gets her priorities straight, after a vision of her past. She decides to return, and do what must be done.

Moccha, still trying to process the new revelations, goes to Faolan’s restaurant. When she arrives she realizes that Faolan was planning a more romantic dinner: he reveals that he’s interested in her, and that he has been for a while. The talk between the two flows smoothly until Moccha learns that Faolan also knows of her seleni condition. Moccha is overwhelmed with information by this point and leaves Faolan alone, heading to a park, wanting time to organize her thoughts. The wolf is left frustrated and disappointed.

Meness had been waiting all evening for Moccha in the dark park and launches a surprise attack! She is ready to take out Moccha, before Moira once again intervenes with backup. But, this time, Meness is prepared and sends a couple dozen subordinates to kill Moira’s group: “borrowed” muscle from a local crime boss called Aleister. Aleister’s gang members have been armed with seleni tail bone knives and have a good chance of actually killing the group. When things look their most dire, Chandra arrives to save the day, threatening Meness with one of her own bone knives.
Defeated, Meness agrees to send the gang away. Chandra, proving a point about her superiority in the city, still stings Meness, poisoning her and forcing her to promise to not get in their way again. Without any other options, Meness accepts and flees, but not without making mention that Ama is still in the city.

After meeting Chandra’s seleni group, Moccha finally gets confirmation of the things she was suspecting. Moccha agrees to follow Chandra’s lead, to learn more about her condition and her past.
