Xander’s PovHours blur into minutes as the skirmish rages on, the tide of battle ebbing and flowing with each passing moment. Despite the ferocity of our opponents, we stand firm, our determination unwavering as we push back against the onslaught.Just when it seems like victory is within our grasp, a deafening roar shatters the night, followed by the thunderous sound of footsteps approaching from the east. With a sinking feeling in my gut, I realized that the enemy had launched a two-pronged assault, catching us off guard and stretching our defenses thin.Grim determination settles over me as I bark out orders to reinforce our eastern flank, rallying our fighters to hold the line against the renewed onslaught. We fight with every ounce of strength and courage we possess, driven by a fierce determination to protect our pack and its lands at all costs.As the battle rages on into the night, fatigue threatens to weigh us down, but we refuse to falter, drawing strength from the bonds o

Allegra's PovAs we sit planning a strategy to catch Elara my head starts to hurt, not just from all the planning but because of the grief I'm carrying from losing Miles. Xander notices.Hey, Allegra,” Xander's voice breaks through the tense atmosphere of the war room, his touch gentle as he squeezes my hand. His concern is evident, and I appreciate his attempt to lighten the mood. “I think we could both use a break from all this planning, don't you?”I meet his gaze, surprise flickering before a small smile creeps onto my lips. “You read my mind, Xander,” I respond, a sense of gratitude coloring my voice. “I could definitely use a distraction right about now.”Without needing any further encouragement, Xander takes my hand and leads me out of the room, the weight of our responsibilities momentarily forgotten as we step into the cool night air. “Where are we going?” I ask, curiosity bubbling up as we fall into step together.A mischievous grin spreads across his face, and I can't help

Allegra’s PovAs Elara and I face off in the midst of the chaotic battle, I rack my brain for a plan to outsmart her. My gaze flickers to Silver beside me, and a daring idea forms in my mind. I lean in close to her, my voice barely above a whisper amidst the turmoil. “Silver, I have a plan,” I say, urgency lacing my words. “I'll keep Elara distracted while you find an opening to take her down. We have to act fast.”Silver nods, her eyes alight with determination as she braces herself for the risky gambit ahead. “I'm ready, Allegra,” she replies, her voice steady despite the danger looming before us. “Just tell me what to do.”With a shared nod of understanding, we spring into action, our movements coordinated and precise as we execute our plan. I focus all of my attention on Elara, engaging her in conversation and taunting her with every opportunity, while Silver moves stealthily behind her, poised to strike when the moment is right.As I keep Elara occupied with a barrage of question

Allegra’s PovJust as we think everything is okay, and she is finally defeated. Elara rises again.As Elara rises, her sinister laughter echoing through the clearing, I feel a surge of dread wash over me. But before I can react, Xander steps forward, his eyes blazing with determination as he confronts the dark witch. “Elara,” he growls, his voice dripping with contempt. “You think you can defeat us that easily? You underestimate the power of our bond.”Elara chuckles darkly, her gaze fixed on Xander as she taunts him with her words. “Ah, Xander, always so confident,” she sneers, her voice laced with malice. “But your precious bond won't save you this time. I've drained enough of your power to ensure that.”Xander's jaw clenches with determination as he raises his hand, summoning his own power to confront Elara head-on. “We'll see about that,” he retorts, his voice tinged with defiance as he unleashes a wave of energy towards her.The force of Xander's attack sends Elara staggering bac

Xander’s povI sat lounging and relaxing when Silver came to take Allegra from me. I try to relax, but I can't, I have this bad feeling like I shouldn't have let Allegra go on her own.I try clearing my head and mind thinking about happy thoughts, but it doesn't work. After a while, I start wondering why Silver and Allegra are taking so long.I try to quell my unease, telling myself they're probably doing girly stuff. I get up and decide to take a walk to try to shake the feeling of dread I'm getting, but it doesn't work.After an hour passes I get anxious so I stroll in the direction that Allegra and silver goes and that is when I hear my name.The night was thick with tension as I heard Allegra's desperate cry pierce through the darkness. “XANDER!”My heart lurched with a mix of dread and determination as I recognized her voice. Without a second thought, I surged forward, following the sound of her call through the dense undergrowth.As I drew nearer, the urgency in Allegra's voice
