POV: Alex
The pack's roar still echoed in Alex's ears as they dispersed to prepare for the upcoming battle. The artifact of Elysium glowed warmly, a silent promise of hope and strength. Alex's mind was a whirlwind of strategies, emotions, and a deep-seated determination to protect his pack and defeat Morgath.
As he walked back to his quarters, he was joined by Sara, Lia, and Ethan. Their faces mirrored his resolve and the weight of their shared responsibility.
"We need to discuss our strategy," Sara said, her voice calm but urgent. "We can't afford any mistakes."
Alex nodded. "Agreed. Let's meet in the war room."
POV: Sara
Sara's heart pounded as they entered the war room. She had spent hours deciphering the ancient texts, and now it was time to put that knowledge to use. She spread out a map of their territory, marking key locations with a piece of charcoal.
