The atmosphere was alive with murmured conversations and the occasional clink of glasses. The spotlight had dimmed. But my heart still raced from the attention I’d just received. It felt strange to be introduced so publicly, to be recognized as part of something so much bigger than myself. Alpha Bloodfang stepped forward. His commanding presence instantly drew the room’s focus. His voice boomed. “Thank you all for joining us tonight. It is not only a celebration of Sylvia’s years as Luna but also a reminder of the strength and unity of our pack. Tonight, let us enjoy each other’s company and honor the bonds that keep us strong.” The crowd erupted into applaus
