Chapter 42: WE'VE COME A LONG WAY

As the weeks passed, the newfound warmth between Olivia and Antonio began to solidify into something undeniable. The tension that had once ruled their marriage gave way to a quiet understanding and an intimacy neither had anticipated. They still had their moments—times when old wounds threatened to resurface, when the past tugged at their hearts—but they were learning how to navigate those moments together, rather than letting them tear them apart.

The pack, ever observant, was thriving under their united leadership. News of the changes within the pack had spread beyond their borders, and visitors from neighboring territories began arriving to witness the transformation for themselves. Olivia and Antonio were no longer just a strategic pairing. They were becoming a symbol of strength, a couple who had overcome betrayal, division, and hardship, and emerged stronger for it.
