CHAPTER 115 - True Confession

Ryan My heart raced as I stood in the dank, musty confines of the Moonshadow Cell. The air felt thick and oppressive, the chill of the damp stone walls seeping into my bones. I glanced around at the others gathered with me - Liam, my trusted beta, Wista, my Witch of the Woods, Lyra, my captivating Luna, and Alain Hemptok, the Silver Tail Alpha.

With the hundred-year truce agreement, the bonds between Silver Tail and Moonshadow had finally solidified and I could finally ask the question that had been on my mind since Wista and I visited that dilapidated cabin on Silver Tail land.

The fate of our packs hinged on the information he held.
