Chapter 46

 A Shield for His Pack

 For Alpha Eric, it was another sleepless night spent patrolling the borders with his most trusted warriors. The battle against his father, Richard, had left the pack scarred, both physically and emotionally, and Eric bore the weight of their recovery on his shoulders.

He wasn't just protecting the pack from Richard's schemes anymore. The rogue attacks and sabotage had revealed deeper cracks in their defenses—weaknesses he could no longer afford to ignore. As Alpha, it was his duty to protect not just the borders but the hearts and minds of his pack members.

Eric stood at the training grounds, watching a group of young warriors spar. He had tasked Jason, his Beta, with overseeing their training, but Eric couldn't resist the urge to supervise. Every mistake, every lapse in judgment, reminded him of what was at stake.
