Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 74

The camp was unusually quiet the following morning, the air heavy with anticipation. The discovery at the western ruins had shaken the wolves, and though Cassian had yet to announce their next steps, the tension was palpable.

Aurora walked briskly across the central clearing, her mind clouded with thoughts of the Lycan King’s plans. Anica’s words echoed in her head: No more fated mates. No more balance. Only power.

“Luna,” Iris called out, snapping Aurora from her thoughts.

Aurora turned, managing a small smile as Iris jogged to her side.

“I thought you might want to join the patrol,” Iris said, holding up a satchel of supplies. “It’s the northern perimeter. Should be quiet.”

Aurora hesitated. A part of her wanted to retreat to the healer’s quarters and lose herself in routine, but another part longed for the fresh air and distraction the patrol might offer.

“All right,” she said, taking the satchel. “Let’s go.”
