As she entered, Elara awaited, a knowing glint in her eye.

"River, your wolf's intuition has revealed the key," Elara said, as if reading her thoughts.

"I was thinking the same thing," he said. "I want to build a palace that will be a symbol of our power and prosperity. Something that will make our packs proud."River nodded enthusiastically.

    Thane turned to River, his eyes seeking her support. "River, my Luna, I call on you to recite the prophecy on the map about the scepter," he said.River stepped forward, her voice clear and confident. "The prophecy states that the scepter shall be wielded by the rightful owner, and that owner is Thane," she said. "If the scepter is in the right hand, it shall bring prosperity and greatness to our packs. But if it falls into the wrong hand, it shall bring curse and destruction, as we have seen with Axel.""'When the moon is full and the stars align,A leader will rise, with power divine.A Luminari mate besides;He will wield the scepter, as the right owner;And unite our people, forever to last.'"The room fell silent, the Alphas looking at Thane with newfound respect.
