The Head Alpha

Four hours passed, giving the Midnight pack's warriors time to settle into their new rooms and get familiarized with the Luna pack's land and people.

It was not hard to get to know each other, for some reason, everyone felt so welcomed as if it is their own home.

The hallways buzzed with friendly chatter, they seemed like some old friends reunited.

There were new friendship bonds formed over hearty meals prepared by the Luna pack's cooks for the newcomers.

Outside in the courtyard, training areas had been prepared with sparring rings, practice weapons, and targets stuffed with straw.

As the afternoon light began to fade, the wolves gathered outside a seamless mix of Midnight and Luna fighters standing side-by-side.

To any observer, they would appear as one cohesive force - rugged, disciplined warriors united in their purpose.

Only slight differences in clothing and weapon choices hinted at their separate origins.
