The weeks following the Council’s approval of our merger were nothing short of chaotic. Meetings, paperwork, and planning sessions filled every available hour, leaving little time to breathe, let alone reflect. 

But somehow, we made it work. Night after night, Noah and I pushed through the aching backs and exhaustion like a well–oiled machine. Slowly but surely, we began to piece together a foundation for Silvercrest. 

The town hall meeting was set to take place in what was once Nightcrest’s grand meeting hall, which turned out to be just barely big enough to fit everyone who arrived. Members from both packs were crammed into every available chair, and many more had to sit on the floors or stand against the walls once the chairs ran out. 

It was strange to stand there, with Noah at my side as allies and no longer enemies. The last time we had been here, after all, had been at the acceptance ceremony last year–when everything had begun. Back when we hated each other’s guts. 

Soon enough, the meeting began. Our announcement was met with a mixture of reactions ranging from shock to interest, although some were not thrilled by the idea. And there were a lot of questions. 

“What about the hunting territories?” a voice called out from somewhere near the back “Are they going to be redistributed?” 

“No,” Noah answered. “The current hunting grounds will stay exactly as they are, just shared amongst all pack members.” 

Another voice cut in before Noah had even finished. “And our businesses? Our jobs?” 

“Nothing changes,” I said, leaning into my microphone. “Your businesses, your jobs, your homes–all will remain exactly as they are. No one will be uprooted–at least, that is our plan. And we intend to stick to it.” 

The questions kept coming, one after the next, stretching the meeting far into the evening. We fielded concerns, clarified points of confusion, and watched as doubt slowly gave way to a cautious sort of acceptance. 

When the votes were cast and finally counted late that night, the majority had spoken in favor of the merger. Relief rippled through me, and I nearly collapsed as we finally made our way out of the grand hall. 

But that was only the beginning. Over the next few days, meetings with other pack Alphas were scheduled back–to–back, leaving barely enough time between them to regroup. One meeting had been particularly grueling–discussing the treaty between Silvermoon and Darkmoon. 

“I see no reason why I should hold true to the treaty if Silvermoon, for all intents and purposes, no longer exists,” David sneered, leaning back in his chair. “You never specified that I’d have to follow the treaty’s principles in an event like this.” 

I pinched the bridge of my nose, my patience wearing thin. “David, Silvercrest is officially the largest pack to walk the planet,” I sighed. “Do you really want to start a potential fight over semantics? Can’t you just keep things civil?”
