Chapter Forty-One: Unseen Battles

Axel POV:

Standing in the dim light of the living room, I watched Phera's retreating figure as she headed to her home. Her strength and resilience never ceased to amaze me. The meeting with the Council, the revelations about the Blue Moon Pack, the mysterious note – all these were weighing heavily on us, but most of all on her.

The silence in the room was thick, filled with unspoken worries and plans. Damon was the first to break it.

"We need to be cautious. The next few days are crucial."

Zane nodded in agreement, his usual easygoing demeanor replaced by a grave seriousness.

"We can't let our guard down. Not now."

As for me, a tumultuous sea of emotions raged within. Seeing Phera in the infirmary, so vulnerable yet so strong, had sparked a protective instinct I never knew ran this deep. The thought of her being targeted, that someone had intended to harm her, sent a chill down my spine. It wasn't just about being Alphas or leaders; it was personal.
