Chapter 26: Rising Tides

The weeks following the merger agreement with Shadow Ridge Pack were a whirlwind of activity. News of our alliance spread like wildfire through the werewolf world, sparking intense debates and discussions in packs far beyond our borders.

"Luna Lyra, you need to see this," he said, thrusting a stack of papers into my hands.

I scanned the documents, my eyes widening. They were messages from other packs, some as far away as the coastal territories, all inquiring about the truth behind the rumors of a True Luna and the unprecedented merger of two powerful packs.

"Is this... normal?" I asked, still not fully accustomed to the weight my actions seemed to carry.
