After the intense discussion in the war room, the weight of the impending battle still hung in the air. As Lyra turned to leave, ready to set her sights on the northern border, my hand shot out, gripping hers firmly and halting her in her tracks. As I stand in Lyra's presence, a surge of emotions washes over me, threatening to consume my being.

This battle would not be won through sheer brute force; it demanded a delicate dance of calculated strategic manoeuvres.With a silent nod, I released the primal fury of our pack. With a surge of primal instinct, Lyra sprang forward, her small figure darted with swift and fluid grace, a blur of motion that defied the naked eye. In her wake, the warriors trailed, their bodies flowing seamlessly like a river of relentless determination.

A mix of urgency and dread gripped me within an unyielding hold. Every fibre of my being screamed at me to intervene, to shield her from the imminent danger closing in. Time slowed as my mind momentarily froze, but my body surged forward, propelled by a surge of adrenaline that overpowered any hesitation. With each powerful stride, I closed the distance between us, my growls reverberating through the chaotic battlefield as a warning to the encroaching threat. Only one thought filled my mind I had to protect her at all costs.In a surge of raw instinct, my body collided with the attacker, the ferocity in my eyes matching the fire that raged within me.
