Chapter 94 An Unlikely Alliance

• The air was heavy with the weight of history as I stood at the edge of the council hall, staring out at the land stretching beyond the castle walls. Today was supposed to be a momentous day—a day that marked the beginning of something new. Yet as I looked out, I couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and uncertainty.
• The alliance with the human kingdom was a gamble. One that could either solidify my vision for the future or tear everything I had fought for apart. The kingdom of Velira, just across our border, had always been a land of human rule, with an almost unbroken history of distrust and hostility toward Lycans. To even consider forging a pact with them was a bold move, one that many of my own people questioned. Even now, I could feel the murmurs of doubt among my council, the whispers of uncertainty as they debated the wisdom of it all.
• But I couldn’t let that stop me. I had come too far to turn back now. My mother's dream—our dream—demanded that I try. It wasn’t just about us. It wasn’t just about Lycans or humans. It was about something greater, something beyond the borders of these kingdoms. It was about breaking the cycle of fear and hatred that had plagued our people for generations.
