“The tension’s getting worse,” he said quietly.

“Cedar Hollow’s wolves are holding back, and it’s starting to affect morale. Some of our pack members are beginning to question Mara’s intentions.”

I nodded, understanding his concern.

Dante was silent for a moment, his gaze thoughtful.

“What if we set up a joint training exercise? Something that forces our wolves to rely on each other, to see each other as allies rather than just… temporary partners.”
