The pack's meeting room was filled with murmurs and low whispers as the elders gathered, their expressions ranging from curiosity to concern.
It wasn't often that Alpha Derrick called an emergency meeting, and the mystery behind it had everyone speculating.
Some elders sat quietly near the head of the room, with their composed face hiding the storm of questions swirling in their minds.
"What could be so urgent?" one elder whispered to another.
"Perhaps it's about the recent disturbances near the borders," the other replied, his voice tinged with unease.
Before the murmurs could grow louder, the heavy doors opened, and Alpha Derrick strode in.
His presence was commanding as always, and the room fell into immediate silence.
Everyone stood, bowing their heads in respect.
Mona followed closely behind him, her sharp eyes scanning the room, but even she was unsure of Derrick's intentions.
