The sun had barely risen, casting a pale glow over the forest as Alex and Sara prepared to leave the camp. Their mission was critical—rally the neighboring packs to join their fight against The Shadow. The final battle was approaching, and they needed every ally they could muster.
Alex stood at the edge of the camp, his heart heavy with the weight of the task ahead. He glanced at Sara, who was fastening her gear with a determined look on her face. Her presence was a constant source of strength, and he drew courage from her unwavering resolve.
"Ready?" she asked, her eyes meeting his.
"Ready," he replied, his voice steady despite the nerves twisting in his gut.
