Rosalind approached Orion, the delicate vial filled with the shimmering antidote cradled in her hands. Cathryn's eyes locked onto Orion's, anxious with worry.

After his full restoration, Orion narrated his ordeal to his big family. “I remember the day vividly, the battle-scarred landscape etched in my mind. Our pack, Lunar Pack, had been at odds with Shadow Pack for generations. Their relentless aggression pushed us to defend our territory.” Orion began his story.“As alpha, I led the charge against Shadow Pack's forces. My mate, Cathryn, fought alongside me, her strength and bravery unwavering. The clash was fierce, both sides trading blows. I fought valiantly, taking down several Shadow Pack warriors. But their leader, Archon, proved to be a formidable foe.” Orion continued.“Archon's powers were unlike anything I'd seen. Dark energy coursed through him, making him nearly unbeatable. Our final confrontation was intense; I knew I had to end it quickly. But his treachery caught me off guard. A swift strike, and I felt my strength waning. I saw Cathryn fall, attacked by Archon's minions. I thought... I thought I saw her life slip away. My v

"Why not collaborate? The Institute's allies and Dominion Pack's forces could launch a simultaneous attack on the Order."Rosalind's eyes sparkled. "Catch them off guard, weaken their defenses."Orion's face set in determination. "Coordinate with the Institute and Dominion Pack. Plan a joint operation."Tristan nodded. "I'll report back to the Institute, inform them of our plan."Athena's voice filled with conviction. "Dominion Pack will stand with Lu

While the coronation celebration was in high gear, an ambitious member of the royal family, Ryder wore a deep scowl on his face. “This is not over.”His words dripped with malice, his gaze fixed on the royal couple.
