**Kora 

Chapter 137 

As the sun began its ascent, casting a warm golden hue over the summit grounds, I sought out Mason. Our bond had been tested, but I believed in the power of healing and reconciliation. It was time for us to face the other Alphas and Lunas together, united in our shared purpose. 

I found him near a tranquil stream, his gaze fixed on the gentle flow of water. He seemed lost in thought, his expression a mix of apprehension and determination. Taking a deep breath, I approached him, my footsteps soft against the earth. 

“Mason,” I called out, my voice filled with a blend of love and understanding. “We are about to greet the other Alphas and Lunas. I know this is difficult for you, but we have to face them together.” 

He turned to me, his stormy eyes meeting mine. There was a flicker of vulnerability in his gaze, overshadowed by a lingering pain. “Kora, I… I don’t know if I can do this. Seeing my mother again, and knowing the hurt she caused…” His jaw jumped as he turned away, glaring down at the babbling water as if it was the source of his discontent. 

I moved closer, hoping to close the physical and emotional distance. between us. Tenderly, I reached out and took his hands in mine, intertwining our fingers. “Mason, I understand. The wounds are deep, and the pain is real. But we have to find a way to heal, not just for ourselves, but for our pack. Our unity is our strength. Eloise has been. insistent that you will be the Lycan King, and in order for that to happen we need to show everyone that we are prepared to unite the packs. Including An nalise’s.” 

His grip tightened around mine, seeking solace in our connection. Thankfully, he didn’t argue anymore. Guiding him back toward the small clearing we had gathered in the evening before, I prayed that today would go smoothly for us. Mason was as on edge as I was, and that did not bode well for anyone. 

The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as we awaited the arrival of the remaining leaders. The vibrant energy of the gathering fueled my eagerness to engage in further conversations with leaders from various packs. I moved through the crowd, weaving my way past

But as I approached Isla, the Alpha of the Mountainpeak Pack, a knot formed in my stomach, and a sense of unease washed over me. The weight of my own discomfort settled upon me like a heavy fog, making it difficult to fully appreciate the moment. 

Isla’s commanding presence and warm smile drew me in, yet I couldn’t shake the feeling of being an outsider in this world of formidable leaders. I longed to fit in, and to feel the same sense of belonging and connection that radiated from Isla and her pack. 

“Kora, it’s good to see you again,” Isla greeted me with genuine warmth. Her voice, tinged with a hint of gravel, carried the authority of a true leader. “Have you been enjoying the summit so far?” 

I forced a smile, hoping to mask the discomfort that churned within me. “Absolutely, Isla. Your stories have been truly awe-inspiring. The way your pack navigates the treacherous slopes and endures the extreme temperatures of the mountains is nothing short of remarkable.” 

Isla’s eyes sparkled with pride, and I wished I could share in her enthusiasm wholeheartedly. “Thank you, Kora,” she replied, her voice carrying a mix of humility and strength. The resilience and adaptability of my pack members truly amaze me. We have learned to thrive in the face of adversity, and that has made us stronger.” 

As Isla regaled me with more tales of her pack’s triumphs, my discomfort intensified. I felt like an outsider, unable to fully grasp the depth of their experiences and the unbreakable bond they shared. The weight of my own inadequacy bore down on me, and I couldn’t help but question my place among these esteemed leaders. 

Seeking solace, I tried to recall the lessons on Luna etiquette that An nalise had taught me. She emphasized the importance of 

situations. But at this moment, the lessons seemed distant and ineffective against the swell of discomfort I felt.

As the conversations continued, I sought out Akio, the Alpha of the Riverun Pack. He stood surrounded by a small group of attentive listeners, his voice filled with passion as he spoke about the

responsibility of preserving the natural world. Catching his eye, I approached, hoping for a sense of familiarity and case. 

“Kora, it’s good to see you,” Akio greeted me, his eyes reflecting a genuine camaraderie. “I’ve heard about your leadership in Pack Shadowmoon. It’s inspiring to see how you bring your pack together.” 

I managed a half-hearted smile, grateful for Akio’s kind words. “Thank you, Akio. Your commitment to protecting the environment is commendable. The challenges we face with human encroachment and declining prey populations are pressing issues. We need to find ways to address them together.” 

Akio nodded in agreement, his expression serious. “Indeed, Kora. Unity. among the packs is crucial. We must work together to preserve the delicate balance of nature for future generations. It’s not an easy task, but if we stand united, we can make a difference.” 

As we delved deeper into our conversation, discussing potential. solutions and sharing ideas, I couldn’t help but admire Akio’s passion. Yet, a lingering unease still gnawed at me, reminding me of the internal struggle I faced amidst this gathering of remarkable leaders. 

The impending arrival of the remaining Alphas, including An nalise, loomed in the back of my mind. The thought of facing her, of delving into the pain and fractures within our pack, filled me with both dread and a glimmer of hope. I knew that the emotions running high could potentially escalate, yet I yearned for resolution and healing. 

As An nalise finally entered the summit grounds, all eyes turned toward her. Ever since Mason had confided in Jericho, the rumor mill had been spinning, and I could only imagine how everyone anticipated this would go. 

Her regal demeanor and unwavering confidence demanded attention. I felt my heart quicken as I braced myself for the impending encounter. The air seemed charged with unspoken tension, and I couldn’t help but wonder how this meeting would unfold. Mason had yet to spot his mother, but I knew that when he did, the emotions would surface, and the conversation might turn volatile. 

Taking a deep breath, I gathered my courage, trying to push aside the waves of discomfort that threatened to consume me. I approached An nalise, hoping against hope to find a glimmer of understanding

amidst the storm of emotions that swirled within me. 

“An nalise,” I called out, my voice a delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. 

My eyes sought hers, and I held my breath, knowing that this. conversation held the potential to redefine our pack’s dynamics. It was a pivotal moment-a chance to convince her that we could still stand. on the same side despite the pain and fractures. This moment could shape the future of our pack, and I vowed to make every effort to find understanding and reconciliation before Mason’s pent-up anger consumed the opportunity.
