Chapter 145
The aftermath of the battle brought a mix of relief and tension to the camp. Wolves with battered bodies and weary spirits moved among the remnants of the fight, patching wounds and exchanging grim nods. A fire burned at the camp’s center, its flickering light casting long shadows across the gathering.
Aurora sat beside Cassian, her hand resting lightly on his bandaged arm. He leaned closer, his voice low and reassuring. “We’ll figure this out. We always do.”
She nodded, but her eyes were distant, fixed on the horizon. Within her, the Pact stirred unpredictably, a warm energy spreading through her veins and making her heart race. “It’s changing,” she whispered.
Cassian frowned. “What do you mean?”
“The Pact—it’s different now. Stronger, but… restless. Like it’s waiting for something.”
Aurora exchanged a look with Cassian before nodding. The camp quieted for the night, but Aurora’s rest was short-lived. She woke suddenly, her chest heaving as the Pact’s energy surged through her like a storm. For a fleeting moment, she glimpsed a vision—a swirling mass of light and shadow colliding violently. A voice, faint but resolute, echoed in her mind: The reckoning begins.
