The retaliation

KELLY THOMPSON'S POV

The air crackled with the static of an incoming transmission, and my heart skipped a beat. Elara Windrider's voice pierced the silence, urgent and strained, "Luna Kelly, we've got trouble. Scout's just identified—Alpha Biansky's pack is on the move, heading straight for us."

I felt the weight investigated leadership settle over me like a cloak as I absorbed the news. The threat we had anticipated was no longer a distant shadow; it was bearing down upon us with the full force of impending doom.

"Understood," I replied, my voice steady despite the turmoil within. "Gather the allies. We need to talk—now."

In no time, my trusted circle assembled, their faces etched with tension. They looked to me, their Luna Queen, for guidance in this dire hour. I scanned the surroundings, meeting the eyes of each one, finding solace in their unwavering support.
