Chapter 1.

OLIVIAIn the middle of rubble, under a bridge that barely stood, with cracks in the foundation, dust rising around the entrance, which added to the ambiance, a few of my friends had founded a club. That might’ve been a stretch— it was a shack with boarded-up windows and a craggy speaker blasting sounds in the corner. But it was ours.Charity threw her hand up, a Woo rippling across the floor of the club when we pushed our way through the crowd of clinging bodies. If there was only one place for people to find escape, you bet everyone’s there all hours of the day.”My best friend is turning eighteen today, so a round of shots for everybody!” Her strawberry blonde hair swayed across her lower back. The shorts rode up when she bent over the chair, shaking her ass to a Latin song we had on repeat, while everyone cheered as two girls came out from the back in their short dresses and poured shots. Some just took it straight from the bottle, tilting their heads back- sticking their tongues

4 Years Later.OLIVIAWhen nightfall came, everyone gathered at the waterfall on the edge of the pack. It was said that this arcane lake hosted powers bestowed upon us by the moon goddess. Every ten years, under the blood moon, women in our pack would gather at the lake as an initiation, welcoming a twelve-hour blood Moon. This was the day many unmated girls yearned for. In the Lockheart manor, a ball would be held where the strongest of our kind gathered.A few lucky ones would return home after this gathering, filled with joy from having spent an entire night with family and friends, only to find a red silk mask resting on their pillow.If that were the case, they were the chosen Sparrows. A once-in-a-decade opportunity. Wearing the mask, they would be escorted to the ball, dressed in gowns that made even the richest blush with envy. Once there, they would be pursued by the strongest, wealthiest, and most eligible of our kind. For every leader needed his counterpart. But this event

Chapter 3.

OLIVIABeing a Red Sparrow did come with many perks. You were treated as royalty. Black, sleek cars drove up the border of our pack. Gathering outside the shriveled-down church, men dressed in all black stepped out, threw nasty glances around the state of our village, to which their leaders were responsible, before opening the doors. We stood in a crescent moon, dressed in glorious gowns, hand-woven gold stitching around the chest, where in the middle, a brooch held our capes together.Masks on.Hair done.Heels high enough to accentuate our figures, but comfortable enough to dance in.The girls all had their pick of what to wear. I went with an olive-colored fabric that the seamstress weaved in against the corset underneath. Laced sleeves that covered my arms, leaving only my collarbone and shoulders exposed.”Olivia,” my mother spoke under her breath when she grabbed my hand just as I was about to follow the others.A sea of emotions bathed the surface of her blue eyes.”Don’t let t

Chapter 4.

OLIVIABy the time a fifth man came up to me, my cheeks were hurting, my stomach was fluttering, full of butterflies that never died. It seemed like the night would never end, and to be honest, I hoped that it wouldn’t.For the first time in my life, I wasn’t anxious or stressed. The talk was stimulating, they all kept a comfortable distance, and the drinks were pouring one after the other.Everyone seemed like they were having a blast.Looking to my side, I found Charity talking to a tall, blond, handsome man that I recognized from a pack meeting I went to years back. He was the son of the then Alpha Gregor, taking over after his father decided to step back a year ago. From what I remembered, he was a gentleman.Part of me was giddy for midnight to come to see if anyone would ask for my hand. But the second I thought about that life, away from poverty and fatality, my heart ached picturing my mother alone. Not to mention the buried truth that could never surface.The doors opened for
