The morning was still as Marinetta and her team prepared to leave the safety of their territory. The weight of the mission hung heavily over them, but there was no turning back now. The fate of their pack—and perhaps even more—rested on their shoulders.
Marinetta glanced around at the team that had been assembled for this dangerous journey. Zack stood beside her, his expression one of quiet determination. Lola and Silas from the Laufey pack were also present, their loyalty to the cause evident in their eyes. Two more of their most trusted warriors, Kira and Marcus, rounded out the group.
Harley approached Marinetta, his face a mask of concern and resolve. "Be careful out there," he said, his voice low but firm. "We can't afford to lose anyone, especially not you."
Marinetta nodded, understanding the unspoken words behind his warning. "We'll find the answers we need and come back," she promised, though the weight of uncertainty lingered in her heart.
