As the night wore on, the festivities grew livelier. The rhythm of drums. echoed through the clearing, and the wolves began to dance, their movements reflecting the grace and wild abandon. Kora, never one to shy away from the celebration, joined in the revelry, her laughter blending with the music.
I couldn’t help but be drawn to her infectious spirit, her joy radiating. and infecting those around her. Without hesitation, I stepped forward, offering my hand to her.
“Shall we dance, Kora?” I asked with a playful glint in my eyes. My mate giggled, oblivious to the curious eyes on us as she stepped into my

Her face was lit beautifully by the firelight as she accepted my hand with a tw inkle in her eye. “And here I thought you would never ask.”
As the music swirled around us, we moved in perfect harmony, our steps synchronizing effortlessly. It was a dance of unity-a physical representation of the bonds we had forged between ourselves and the leaders and representatives of the other packs.
Amidst the celebration, I caught glimpses of the other leaders joining. the dance, their voices raised in song, and their spirits interwoven with ours. The barriers between packs dissolved, and for that brief moment, we were not leaders or representatives but simply wolves celebrating our shared kinship and the strength that lay in our unity.

“Eloise, may I join you?” I asked softly, taking a seat beside her. She turned to me, her eyes filled with weariness and determination.
“Of course, Mason,” she replied, patting the stone beside her for me to sit. “I’ve been reflecting on my vision that brought us all together. It weighs heavy on my heart, knowing what lies ahead.”
I nodded, understanding the burden she carried. “Your vision has

With renewed determination, we stood up, ready to face whatever lay ahead. As the night began to fade, the wolves dispersed, finding their places to rest and gather strength for the challenges that awaited us
