Luna Aurora (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter 112

The moon wolves did not lower their guard as their leader scrutinized Aurora. His silver hair gleamed under the faint light, and his tone was sharp. "I am Erya, Alpha of the moon wolves. You bring the stench of the Lycan King's corruption to my land. Why should we trust you?" Aurora stood firm, though her heart raced. "Because we don't have a choice. He'll destroy everything including your pack-if we don't stop him."

Erya's eyes narrowed. "Our history is one of survival. We do not entangle ourselves in the affairs of others. Isolation has kept us safe for centuries. Why should we risk our lives for yours?"

Cassian stepped forward, his golden gaze unyielding. "Because your isolation is an illusion. The Lycan King doesn't care about borders or history. He'll come for you whether you fight or hide." The wolves murmured among themselves, their glowing eyes shifting between Aurora and Cassian.
