Echoes of the Heart

The town was finally quiet after the chaos of the night. Dawn's first light illuminated the battered streets, casting a soft glow over the remnants of the battle. The air was still thick with the tension of the previous hours, but the immediate danger had passed. Maya, Agnes, and Finn emerged from the library, their faces showing signs of exhaustion but also relief.

"We did it," Finn said, his voice weary but filled with a hint of satisfaction. "The town is safe, and the ritual worked. The rival pack has been driven away."

Agnes nodded, her gaze sweeping over the town. "We've bought ourselves some time, but we need to rebuild and prepare for any future threats."

Maya looked around, feeling a mixture of triumph and weariness. "What happens next? The town needs to recover, and we need to ensure that the rogue werewolf's influence doesn't return."
