Autumn POV After exchanging greetings with Alexa, Patrick, and Phoenix, we make our way to the dining hall to grab a quick bite to eat. Despite the urgency of the situation, we all know the importance of fueling our bodies seeing as there won't be a lot of time for it later. As we sit down to eat, the atmosphere is somber, the weight of Maverick's impending attack hanging over us like a dark cloud. Looking around, the other pack leaders are all engaged in deep conversation, grim looks on their faces as they discuss the details of the battle tomorrow. My thoughts soon become consumed by self-doubt, the fact that all of these people's lives could be lost if I can't defeat Maverick and the evil that has made itself at home beneath his skin. "Everything will work out, sweet girl." Iris coos.
