Chapter 5: Tension with the Packs
The days grew longer as Serena’s presence within the Thornheart Pack drew increasing scrutiny. As she regained her strength, whispers began to ripple through both territories—faint murmurs at first, building into a storm of speculation. The Ravenwood Pack, Serena’s family, had begun to suspect that her absence was not a matter of recovery but something more sinister. **Why hadn’t she returned? What were the Thornhearts hiding?**
From his position as her protector, Darius sensed the brewing storm on the horizon. The strained peace between the packs was delicate, hanging by a thread, and he knew that Serena’s continued stay with the Thornhearts could snap that fragile thread. And yet, he couldn’t bring himself to send her back, not until she was fully healed, not until she was strong enough to face the world beyond Thornheart's borders.
