The morning sun cast a golden glow over the Montgomery pack territory as they gathered to celebrate the safe return of Harley and Marinetta. The atmosphere was a mix of relief and lingering tension. Despite the joy of the reunion, everyone knew that the events of the past days had left deep scars and unresolved questions.
Harley, still struggling with his fragmented memory, sat with Marinetta by the fire. Maranda had done her best to heal his wounds, but the mental fog persisted.
"Thank you for coming to save me," Harley said, his voice filled with gratitude. "Even though I don't remember everything, I know I owe you my life."
Marinetta smiled weakly. "We're family. We always protect each other, no matter what."
Reed approached them, his expression serious. "We need to talk about what happened. There are too many unanswered questions."
Marinetta nodded. "I agree. There's something you all need to know."
