FORGING TRUST

"Thanks to everyone for coming," she started, her voice remaining strong. "I am aware that there have been uncertainties regarding our path forward and my ability to lead."

Eleanor's responses remained in the air, causing a tense stillness as the pack members exchanged nervous glances. The campfire's flickering light cast eerie shadows on their faces, underscoring their strained emotions.

A large man, his forehead wrinkled with uncertainty, spoke quietly. How can we be sure that we can rely on you, Eleanor? "Because of your leadership, we ended up in this battle."

Eleanor looked directly into his eyes with a firm jaw, showing her determination. "I acknowledge your worries," she responded, her voice filled with understanding. However, we must not focus on previous mistakes. We need to learn from them and progress together.

The group murmured in agreement, but doubt was still evident in their eyes.
