Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 64

The camp hummed with quiet determination as the wolves worked to rebuild. Repairs to the northern perimeter began at first light, with warriors reinforcing the defenses and scouts keeping a sharp eye on the horizon. The scent of fresh earth mixed with the acrid tang of blood still lingering in the air.

Aurora spent the morning with Iris in the healer’s quarters, organizing supplies and tending to the injured. Though she had insisted on taking on more responsibility, Cassian had made it clear that her role in the pack was to support its survival from within. For now, that meant helping Iris and preparing for the next inevitable attack.

“Drink this,” Aurora said, handing a steaming cup of tea to a young wolf with a bandaged arm. His face was pale, his eyes hollow from exhaustion.

He took the cup with trembling hands. “Thank you, Luna.”

Aurora stiffened at the title, her heart skipping a beat. “I’m not—”

“You’re as good as,” Iris interrupted, her tone brisk as she passed by with a tray of supplies.

Aurora swallowed hard, unsure how to respond. She had always seen herself as an outsider here, a guest at best, but the way the wolves looked at her—like she belonged—made her chest tighten with conflicting emotions.

By midday, Cassian called for a meeting in the war room. Aurora joined him and the other senior wolves, her presence a silent acknowledgment of her growing role in the pack.

“The scouts have confirmed that Magnus’s forces are regrouping,” Nathan reported, his tone grim. “They’ve pulled back beyond the mountain pass, but they’re not retreating. This is a pause, not an end.”

Cassian nodded, his jaw tightening. “He’s testing us, seeing how far he can push before we break.”

“We held him off this time,” Gideon said. “But we lost too many. If he comes back with Lycans and siege weapons, we won’t last.”

Nathan leaned forward, his expression sharp. “Then we need to take the fight to him. Hit his supply lines, disrupt his forces before they can regroup.”

Cassian’s gaze swept over the map on the table. “It’s a risk, but it might be our best chance.”

Aurora hesitated, then spoke up. “What about the eastern reinforcements? Can we coordinate with them?”

Cassian glanced at her, his expression softening slightly. “They’re still days away, but it’s worth trying. If we can strike together, we’ll have a better chance of success.”
