The Moon Goddess answered softly, "Yes."
Rose's chest tightened so painfully that she struggled to breathe. "You heard him asking for your help?"
"Yes."
Rose gritted her teeth. "And you still let him die?"
The Moon Goddess fell silent and that silence hurt more than any answer could have.
Rose remembered that Edmond had once told her a story about the Moon Goddess.
According to him, the Moon Goddess had once lived among the other Gods in the heavens, but she was cast down after speaking against them because many of them could not remain faithful to a single partner.
Instead of listening to her, the other Gods punished her. They banished her from the heavens and stripped away most of her power, leaving her weak for centuries.
Things only began to change when some Lycans and werewolves learned about her story. They started building small temples for her, hoping that a Goddess who valued loyalty above everything else would bless their relationships and help them stay together.
