The return of Finn's envoy was met with immense relief and a sense of profound awe. They hadn't just made contact; they had forged an alliance. The Moonshadow Pack, ancient and powerful, had confirmed Elara's lineage. Her mental beacon, combined with the detailed information provided by River Pine, had convinced them. They were Elara's true family, a pack that had mourned her loss for decades, believing her gone forever.
Their Alpha, Rhys, a formidable and wise leader, along with Elara's birth parents, Lyra (her birth mother, explaining the wolf name) and Caelen, had sent a message through Finn: they were coming. Their forces, skilled in ancient combat techniques and deeply connected to the earth, would join River Pine. It was an alliance forged not just out of familial connection, but out of a shared understanding of Kael's true threat. The Moonshadow Pack had their own history with Kael's manipulative tendencies, having been targeted by his earlier machinations centuries ago. The reunion of Elara with her birth pack would not just heal old wounds; it would bring an ancient, formidable power into the fight against the unseen master of chaos.
