The days leading up to the next battle were tense and filled with preparation. The Montgomery pack worked tirelessly to strengthen their defenses, train their warriors, and uncover more about the Shadow Alpha. Brian continued to search ancient texts for any clues that might help them, while Marietta focused on honing her newfound powers.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Reed called for a meeting. "We have intelligence that the Shadow Alpha is planning another attack tonight," he said. "We need to be ready."
Mia, standing by his side, nodded. "I've fortified our magical defenses as much as I can. We need to be vigilant and support each other."
Harley, now fully recovered, stepped forward. "We'll be ready. We can't let them overrun us."
As the pack dispersed to prepare, Marinetta pulled Mia aside. "Be careful tonight," she said. "I have a bad feeling."
