Arden’s POV
It had been four months since the patriarch officially declared a war against the Rosettes, well, calling it a war would be sugarcoating it; it was more of a one-sided m******e rather than a war.
It had only taken the coyote order a night to wipe out half of the rosettes' establishment off the face of the earth; there wasn't even any resistance. It was total annihilation.
Since then, families backing up the Rosettes fell one by one, but the patriarch severely underestimated the influence of the Rosettes.
We were warned to cease fire by leaders of other countries, including ours, which the Rosettes bought off; that much was clear.
It was unsettling how much their influence extended to the rest of the world, but, alas, the patriarch isn't one to listen.
