The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

Just like any city - Sacrosanct is not without it's deep, dark underbelly. Hidden in the graffiti-ridden streets of the West, behind closed warehouse doors, lies the Black Market. Forever moving, it's nearly impossible to find without knowing someone who knows someone. Anything you desire can be brought for a hefty price within the Black Market - be it drugs, weapons, or lives.
Hidden within the dark alleyways of the Western Ward, Cull & Pistol is a dim, often smoky bar. With a small variety of bottled and craft beers, Cull & Pistol is a quaint little neighborhood joint. With its no-frills moto, the dingy bar offers little more than liquor, music from an old jukebox, and a few frequently occupied pool tables.

Resting upon the harbor, Noah's Ark (known simply as The Ark) is a sleek superyacht known both for its fight rings and recent...renovations, of sorts. Accessible from an entrance hidden in the shadows, The Ark is a veritable Were-playground that specializes in fighting tournaments for all creatures great and small. With both singles and doubles tournaments to compete in, the title of Ark Champion is hotly contested amongst the Were population. If anything illegal is going on in the city it's sure to be happening within the back rooms or behind the ring-side bar.
Note: This is a Were only establishment. All other species will be swiftly escorted out.

Within the turbulent industrial district lies this club. The warehouse doesn't look like much on the outside but it provides a memorable experience from the state of the art lighting, offbeat Victorian-inspired artwork, comfortable black leather lounges, and the infamous 'black light' room. There is a wide variety of alcohol that lines the shelves of both of the magical and ordinary variety. It is a common stomping ground for the supernatural who want to let loose and dance the night away to the music that floods the establishment. Humans are most welcome if they dare.

She was not one to raise her voice or scream at her mate. Never would she dare raise a hand at him to slap, or do anything that would physically harm him. When she was a lupine she would never growl at him or show him her teeth in a threatening manner. It was not in her nature to show any aggression to those she was close to even though that was what she experienced mostly throughout her life. Crouching over the table with the steak clutched tightly she tore into it as her mate protected her from the other male. Deep down she understood who the dark-haired tall male was to her. Even though he was hers that didn't mean she was willing to share her prize with him. When his hand pulled away from her, that shock look on his face seemed to trigger...something. This was not something she should do, but she didn't want to share...it was her meat. For a moment her façade went blank the woman unable to know how she should react. Something was telling her to approach him, to tell him something, and yet that fleeting feeling was gone. Returning to her steak and finished eating up, jumping off the table and barging towards the bar. After all she deserved a drink. As she grabbed the bottles she sniffed the alcohol finding the scent not to her satisfaction. It was when she found the hose and pressing the buttons did she find the water. Drinking from the hose gun was easy, and as she drank from it she noticed how the others stared at her.
She didn't like that. Raven doesn't like receiving attention. Attention wasn't a good thing, it was always bad. After all she received such wonderful attention from her pack mates. They were angry with her. Just like now. The angry patrons and staff members that were yelling at her, throwing up their hands, coming towards her was absolutely frightening. She didn't like the screaming. The girl visibly flinching as they jeered at her, enclosing in on her space. Something in her brain sparked knowing that they would stay back if she did something, but what? Bringing up the hose she pressed the button as a stream of water came out, spraying the staff and patrons that dared to come close. As they fell back she would stop and attack another group of them, wanting them to go away. Yet they kept coming at her, coming closer. Panicking she continued to spray at them, this time using her telekinesis to start throwing alcohol bottles off the shelves intro the patrons. Seeing the anger and disgust in their eyes caused the girl to see brief flashes of the same anger and disgust in her pack's eyes. Each time she blinked her eyes her old pack would be replaced with everyone in Ark and vice versa, the woman petrified. Tobias' order for her to stop was ignored, as she kept spraying them, shouting in a stuttering manner.
They just needed to go away. All of them just needed to go away. If they went away then maybe she'd be okay. It made sense. At this point Raven had no idea where her mate ran off to. She was trapped, stuck, unable to leave from behind the bar. This was her safe spot. Like the cage at her old home, they couldn't reach her if she remained behind the bars. They were kept out. Just like now. It was the sudden feeling of a pair of strong arms wrapping around her did she grow still in shock. With a yelp she struggled to move out, her lithe frame twisting and turning as one hand reached out to grab his wrist, squeezing him tightly, wanting him to let her go. With a sharp whimper she thrashed about as she lost her hold on the hose. As it fell to the floor she released another cry, terrified that her weapon was gone. As the patrons and staff members began to cheer the woman began to shudder, terrified to know what would happen next. The threat of Tetradore being angry with her didn't was not something she would comprehend in this point of time. Turning her dial around she would grow still as she realized it was her mate that was holding her against him. Her grip on his wrist would loosen. This time she would lean into him, growing still as her eyes closed, muttering inconsistently under her breath. Raven would always pull in her mate into a tight hug, to squeeze him gently, to calm him down when he was upset or furious, and it would seem he was doing the same for her. Weakly she spoke up, wanting him to stay close, not wanting him to leave her, not when the others were there.
