Chapter 94: The Aftermath

The clearing was eerily silent, the calm after the storm. The air was thick with the scent of blood, sweat, and the lingering tension that had yet to fully dissipate. Alex stood in the center of it all, his body aching from the exertion of battle, his mind racing with the weight of what had just transpired.

Around him, the pack was tending to the wounded, their faces etched with exhaustion and grief. The battle had been won, but at a steep cost. Wolves lay scattered across the clearing, some dead, others clinging to life by a thread. The sight of his fallen pack members sent a fresh wave of anger coursing through Alex, a reminder of the devastation The Shadow had wrought.

Sara was at his side, her hand resting gently on his arm. She had a cut on her forehead, blood trickling down the side of her face, but she barely seemed to notice it. Her eyes were locked on his, filled with concern.
