Marinetta and Brian had worked through the night, poring over ancient texts and fragmented legends, but there was still much they didn't understand about the Shadow Wraith and how to counteract it.
As the sun rose, Marinetta gathered the pack leaders in the main hall for an urgent briefing. The weight of the information they had uncovered was heavy, and she knew they needed to act swiftly. Harley, Silas, Lola, and other key members of the pack assembled, their expressions a mix of concern and determination.
"Thank you all for coming on such short notice," Marinetta began, her voice steady despite the anxiety gnawing at her insides. "We've made some significant progress in understanding the threat we're facing, but there's still much to be done."
