Valeria POVI rushed out of the chamber, only to find a guard standing at the entrance. For a moment, my heart skipped, but he quickly bowed and reminded me about the council of elders’ meeting. That was when it struck me, I was no longer just Valeria. I was now the acting ruler of the pack while my mate was away at war. Pushing every lingering thought aside, I quickly changed into a simple dress, nothing too extravagant, and made my way to the courtroom.The moment I stepped in, the atmosphere shifted. My father, his wife, and Helen were already kneeling at the center, guarded and waiting. I didn’t spare them a single glance as I walked past, my steps steady, my expression unreadable, until I reached the throne. Only after I sat down did I lift my gaze and even then, it was brief.

We go to war today! We will bring chaos upon them, we will tear through their defenses and take what is ours!”The warriors let out loud, thunderous growls in response, the sound vibrating through the walls like a storm about to break. Weapons were grabbed, armor secured, and the once quiet pack ground turned into a frenzy of movement. Still, I noticed hesitation. A few of them stepped back, ex
