Rising Sun Valley the power of voodoo (discovery)

Pied's appeals were convincing, but Jinx was unsure. It would do no good to lie to Fox, and though she would never say it, she respected her new Alpha's command more than she respected Pied's selfless offer. She made a good point about Fox not hunting down the children, but Jinx knew if Fox found out about the betrayal, it would be her life on the line instead. Pied would get away free, Pied's children would get away free, and Jinx would find her neck in the jaws of her Alpha.

Sad though it may have been, slippery Jinx valued her life over those of her unborn children. In a heartbeat she would sell them to the devil to save herself. Pied seemed of the opinion that that devil, Sos, would not touch them so long as she carried Atka's child... But what Jinx believed, and what Pied did not, was that Sos and Atka did not share plans. Sos would kill and ravage as He would, and bless where He would, and Atka would do so Herself. Both Bear Gods may have been connected, but Their Wills were Their own.

"If Sos decides He wants something, Atka Herself could not stop Him," she said in a flat voice. Though she didn't say it aloud, she mentally added that Atka, for all Her Light and Her Righteousness, was just as happy to see sacrifice in Their honour as Sos was, though it was always the Dark Father who demanded it. Such was Jinx's belief in her furious Gods. "But," she added, before she could be subjected to another round of reasons to spare them, "I will think on your... Offer. It may please Lecter if they lived."
