Chapter 57 Bonds Forged

• The arrival of the ally pack breathed new life into our compound, infusing it with a sense of camaraderie we had been missing. They integrated seamlessly into our pack, their presence offering a much-needed respite from the tension of recent events.
• Every member of the new pack worked hard and helped in the ways we needed them. They became our backbone, and our hearts. They became indispensable to us as a family and as a pack.
