Seventy two

RUTH'S POV

As I caught my breath, I couldn't help but think about the goddess's words. She had told me that I had a great gift, but with it came great danger. I was starting to realize just how true that was.

But I was not alone. I had Michael, my pack, and my own inner strength. I was determined to face whatever challenges came my way, to use my power to make a difference in the world.

And so, I stood tall, my heart filled with a sense of purpose. I was Ruth, a child of the moon, and I would not be defeated.

But even as I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was still more to come. That there were still challenges waiting for me, still dangers lurkin
