As the weight of Alpha Dawson's words settled over me, I felt a surge of determination course through my veins. The stakes were high, the consequences severe. But I couldn't back down now. Not when everything I held dear was on the line.
I squared my shoulders and locked eyes with Carina, the once-trusted pack member who had betrayed us all. Her betrayal cut deep, like a knife twisting in my gut. But there was no time for sentiment now. This battle was about more than just pride and power. It was about survival.
I could feel the eyes of the other alphas on me, their whispers of doubt and scepticism hanging heavy in the air. But I ignored them, focusing only on the task at hand. The battlefield stretched out before me, a vast expanse of earth and sky that would soon be stained with blood.
