Chapter 324

• As we made our way around the southern perimeter of the pack, wolves in their warrior forms emerged from the dense foliage. Their fur-covered heads and sharp eyes fixed on us, noting the subtle changes in our appearance. Some stepped forward with confidence, eager to greet their Alpha, while others hesitated, their ears twitching as if sensing the transformation before fully understanding it.
• One by one, recognition spread across their faces, mingled with surprise and unease. They didn’t just see their Alpha and Luna; they saw something more—something different. Yet, even in their astonishment, the respect for Leonardo was undeniable. The power he exuded wasn’t solely tied to his Fae lineage; it was rooted in the strength of an Alpha, a force both primal and evolved. Fire and ice, blending into something extraordinary.
• Gradually, the warriors lowered their heads in a show of loyalty, their snouts grazing the ground. It was an unspoken gesture of trust and forgiveness. They accepted his absence and placed their faith in us to restore balance. Their movements spoke of honor and unity, reminding us of the responsibility we carried.
