Chương 53: LOOMING STORM

As the meeting continued, plans were drawn up, and Olivia and Antonio worked alongside the elders to ensure that the pack was fully prepared for what lay ahead. Scouts would be sent to track Elias's movements, while the warriors would focus on training and defending the borders. Every member of the pack, from the youngest to the eldest, had a role to play in the days ahead.

But even as they planned for the coming storm, Olivia couldn't shake the sense of dread that clung to her like a shadow. Elias was dangerous, yes—but there was something more, something she couldn't quite put her finger on. It was as though he had anticipated every move they would make, as though he knew exactly how to strike at their weakest points.

After the meeting, as the hall began to empty, Olivia and Antonio stayed behind, standing at the head of the room as the last few wolves filed out. Elder Leon lingered as well, his eyes filled with a quiet wisdom.
