Coordinated attacks...

Selene POV

As Kragen and I crossed the threshold of Moon Whisper Pack's territory, my heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and anticipation. I wasn't sure how Noah would react to seeing Kragen with me, especially considering his repeated warnings about not wanting Kragen anywhere near me. The two of them had never seen eye to eye, and bringing Kragen back with me wasn't going to help that.

The packhouse loomed ahead, its familiar structure offering a sense of comfort and dread all at once. I had been gone for days, tangled in the mess of prophecy, truths, and secrets. I needed to explain everything to Noah. He deserved that much, and more than anyone, I knew he would understand—he had to. But first, we had to get past the initial shock.

As we approached, a few warriors glanced our way, their eyes narrowing as they spotted Kragen at my side. I braced myself, knowing that word of our arrival would spread fast.
