Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir)

Cassian didn't return to the war room until late that night. The pack was quiet, the tension in the air heavier than ever. He found Aurora waiting for him by the fire in the main hall, her expression pensive. "You heard," he said, sitting beside her.

Aurora nodded. "Magnus won't stop, will he?"

Cassian's jaw tightened. "No. He's not like Fenrir. Magnus doesn't just want power-he wants control. He'll take it by force if he has to, but he prefers to break his enemies from the inside out." Aurora's chest tightened at his words. "And the spy... he was part of that?"

Cassian nodded. "Magnus plants loyalists in the packs he plans to conquer. They sow discord, weaken the pack's unity. By the time Magnus moves in, the pack is already fractured." "Then what do we do?" Aurora asked, her voice trembling.

"We hold together," Cassian said firmly. "No matter what. As long as we're united, Magnus can't win."

Aurora wanted to believe him, but the shadow of doubt lingered in her mind.

The next morning, Cassian called a meeting in the central hall. The pack gathered, their expressions wary as they waited for him to speak.

"We've captured a spy," Cassian announced, his voice steady but sharp. "He was working for Magnus, gathering information on our defenses."

The wolves exchanged uneasy glances, whispers rippling through the crowd.

Cassian raised a hand, silencing them. "This is exactly what Magnus wants. He wants us to doubt each other, to turn on each other. But we won't give him that satisfaction. We stand as one pack, or we fall." The wolves nodded, their murmurs turning into affirmations of loyalty.

Aurora stood at the back of the hall, watching as Cassian's words bolstered the pack's resolve. She could see the strain in his posture, the weight of leadership pressing heavily on him.

As the meeting broke up, Cassian approached her, his expression softening. "Walk with me?"

Aurora nodded, falling into step beside him as they made their way toward the training grounds.

"I know this is a lot," Cassian said quietly. "For all of us. But I won't let Magnus tear this pack apart." Aurora hesitated before speaking. "Do you really think we can stop him?"

Cassian stopped, turning to face her. "I don't just think it-I know it. But I need you to believe it too." Aurora looked into his eyes, the determination there unwavering. For a moment, she let herself hope.

"I believe in you," she said softly.

Cassian's lips twitched into a faint smile. "That's a start."noveldrama
