The morning sun filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor as Alex led a small group through the woods. The council had tasked him with an important mission: to establish contact with a reclusive pack that had withdrawn from the werewolf community decades ago. Known for their ancient knowledge and unique abilities, this pack's alliance was crucial for strengthening the newly formed council.
Walking alongside Alex was Marcus, whose keen senses were on high alert. "Are you sure they'll be open to this?" Marcus asked, glancing around at the towering trees that seemed to close in on them.
"We can only hope," Alex replied, pushing aside a low-hanging branch. "The White Moon Pack has always been wary of outsiders, but we need their wisdom. If we can convince them to join us, it will be a huge step forward."
