The fight went on around Elara and Declan, the once serene town of the Shadow fang Pack now a war zone.
The sight of Adrian, the banished one, standing before them, filled Elara with a mix of fear and uncertainty.
Declan's hands clenched at both ends, his eyes burning with anger.
"Adrian, what are you talking about?" Declan requested, his words cutting through the chaos. "Why are you attacking our pack?"
Adrian's smile widened, his eyes sparkling with malicious satisfaction. "Oh, Declan, you have no idea how much you've been kept in the dark.
Your precious Elara is the key to my return to power."
Elara's heart pounded in her chest. "What do you mean, Adrian? What do you want from me?"
Adrian took a step closer, his presence radiating an air of danger. "You are more important than you know, Elara.
Your family holds a secret that has been hidden for generations. A power that can either save or kill the pack."
