Chapter 46 War Declared

• The air in the Red Moon Pack was thick with tension as Blue, Grey, and I entered the territory. It wasn’t that they didn’t want us here—no, it was more complicated than that. Their hesitation ran deeper. Blue and Grey were the sons of King Darwin, the very man we were standing against, the very man whose reign I intended to bring to an end. And with the twins by my side, the pack didn’t know what to make of it.
• The moment we crossed the boundary, all eyes were on us. The wolves paused mid-motion, eyes narrowing in suspicion and curiosity. Some stepped forward, others hung back, whispering among themselves. I could feel the weight of their gazes, the uncertainty swirling in the air like a storm waiting to break.
• Blue, ever the steady one, kept his chin up, meeting their stares with quiet confidence. Grey, on the other hand, was more reserved, scanning the pack with a mixture of wariness and curiosity. His hand brushed mine, a small touch, but enough to ground me.
