Chapter 92 A New Council

• The sun had barely risen over the horizon when I entered the grand hall. The space was vast, the stone floors cold beneath my boots as I walked slowly toward the long table in the center of the room. The weight of the moment pressed on me, heavier than I could’ve imagined. Today wasn’t just another day of planning or battle. Today, I was about to make decisions that would shape the future of the kingdom—decisions that would either unite us or divide us further.
• I had spent countless nights in contemplation, drawing up plans for the council that would oversee the new era I was trying to build. The old way, the monarchy, had crumbled, and in its place, I needed something stronger—a council that wasn’t just made up of the elite, but a council that represented all of the people. Every pack. Every territory. Every voice.
• Blue and Grey stood by the large windows, watching the early morning light spill across the courtyard. I could see the tension in their postures. We had come so far, yet there was still so much to do. They knew as well as I did that today’s meeting would be a test of the foundation we were trying to build.
