The first light of dawn peeked over the horizon, casting a soft glow across the Silverclaw Pack's training grounds. Luna stood at the edge of the field, her heart thudding in her chest as she watched the seasoned warriors go through their morning drills.

This was her chance to prove herself, not just to the pack but to Aiden as well. The weight of that responsibility felt overwhelming.
“Are you ready?” Aiden’s voice broke through her thoughts, calm and steady.
Luna nodded, though she wasn’t entirely sure if she meant it.
