In the middle of the plaza, Maximus took a deep breath, his expression serious and determined. Alessia stood by his side, emanating strength that clashed with the tensed atmosphere. The people of Howling Peak weren't exactly thrilled about leaving their homes, but somehow, Tamaska and her pack had persuaded them to gather together even after the tragedy that took place. Now, they formed a hushed audience, eager to hear Maximus's announcement as night settled in. The air buzzed with a mix of curiosity and sadness as everyone in Howling Peak focused on what was about to unfold. "We've lost two incredible leaders overnight," Maximus began, his voice carrying a genuine touch of emotion. "But even in our grief, we can't stay trapped. We need to find the strength to move forward together." Hi
