“What did you say, Ruth?” Shada frowned, not understanding. Although Ruth's voice was low, Shada could catch what her friend was talking about. Ruth choked up, not realizing the words from her mouth that had just slipped out. “Eh? No─it's nothing. I mean you shouldn't feel sorry for other people, Shada. Especially Jennifer. Like I said before, you have to be careful,” said Ruth rather confused. Hearing Ruth's explanation, Shada sighed heavily.

"What is 'The Raven's Caw'?" "A secret society or club created by the families in power here in Atherton that's been passed from one generation to the other until it is now taken over by our parents' but someone else is the one who runs everything. They rule here, New York, Chicago, Boston, New Jersey and more." "What do they do? What's the point of a secret society or club or whatever it is?" I asked, confused. "They build names for themselves, some members make weapon trades and stuff similar to this undercover while the other's work in keeping a good public image to keep balance." He explained and I knew everything he said was true.

I want to see my son, train him, and have become like me, his father. I thought about Don Vito. How would I convince him it's a trap? That La Routage has been rigged from top to bottom and was like leading the sheep to its slaughter? La Routage was one of the events Don Vito shows how much power and influence he possesses. It was a massive show-off for him. “A guy named Ruckus, is he one of yours?” Rivera interrupted. How does she know Ruckus? “Uhmm, yes but he was killed two nights ago.”

It made me feel uncomfortable. "The more you want it, the more I'll never do it."

I pushed him roughly and yelled at him. "I will never be your toy!" In a world where power reigns supreme and mercy is a rare commodity, Ruth must navigate through unimaginable pain and fight for her dignity. Will she break free from their grasp, or will she find an unexpected strength within herself to confront the cruel fate the Moon Goddess has bestowed upon her?

"I don't want to be that so-called 'rich wife.' A simple life will be fine for me! But what they did is something I can't shake from my thoughts," Ana exclaimed, her voice tinged with frustration. With a swift motion, she poured more whiskey down her throat, hoping to drown out the troubling memories.

The thoughts of the pain I had gone through three days back, still gave me goosebumps. 'You don't want to disobey the Alpha, but you will be doing yourself harm, if you don't go for the festival. At Least you get to offer prayers to the goddess to offer you a long life.' Jedah had a point and while the fears rocked through my body, I realized how great it would be to witness the event.

Cheryl POV I blinked my eyes twice before I finally opened them, then the memories of last night shot sharp in my head that I sat up to find myself on the bed under the comforter in the morning. Beside me was Finn, lying shirtless on his stomach. The relief sigh I let out was one I never did in my whole life. God brought him back to me. I found myself lifting my hands and thanking God. I even promised to repent and go back to attending church like I used to before mom left us.
