Their Secret Obsession by Pippa Moon

"Asked? By whom?" Kane's brows furrowed as an uneasy silence fell over the group. I looked around, sensing the unspoken tension, wondering which one of my family had reached out to the moon goddess. Not that I wasn't grateful for the save, but I needed to understand who was indeed in her pocket and who I could trust. "You can trust everyone in this room."

"You asked for her help?" I questioned, searching his face, feeling blindsided by this revelation.

"When things started getting out of hand, I didn't know what else to do." He nodded. "I prayed-hoped-that she might hear me."
