OPEN RESOLVE

The sunrise unfolded above Greywolf Pack, sending a soft, golden glow through the clearing. The air was heavy with the aroma of pine and the persistent, sharp scent of smoke. The soldiers cared for their wounded quietly, the injured's soft groans blending with the distant sounds of awakening birds. Eleanor observed from the entrance of her chambers as Lucas assisted in wrapping a wounded warrior's arm.

"Seems like we survived," Lucas whispered wearily, his voice hoarse and tired.

Eleanor nodded, with her arm wrapped in a temporary sling due to a small injury she got in the battle. "We accomplished it." However, at what price?

Before Lucas could respond, a guard with a stern expression on his face came towards them. "Alpha Queen, Godwin Hale has arrived to meet with you."

Eleanor and Lucas exchanged a tired look before she gave a nod. "Get him inside."
