CHAPTER Sixteen

  Juliana's POV

  Holding the tree behind the house, I struggled to control the power but I couldn't. I felt my whole body shaking and I knew what was going to happen next. My eyes started tearing up as I pleaded to the moon goddess to help me out. I can't blow my cover now, the last time it happened, it never settled well. The image of Ariana being whacked kept popping into my head, and the moment that she was slapped across the face kept flooding my mind. The face of Carter instructing them to whack her at the back popped into my head and boils my anger. I caused that I was the reason that the old woman was being treated like trash and humiliated in front of me yet I couldn't do anything.
