Chapter 249 Calls to Arms RAMONS POV 190 The council room was quiet , the air thick with the task ahead .
The map of the territories lay before us , marked with the names of neighboring packs that could either strengthen us or leave us vulnerable if they chose not to stand with us .
Sonia sat at the head of the table , her expression calm but determined .
I stood beside her , arms crossed , my gaze fixed on the names and borders that had been burned into my memory .
This isnt just our fight .
Sonia began , her voice steady and commanding .
Lorenas ambition doesnt stop with Bloodmoon .
If we fall , the rest of the packs will follow .
We need them to see that .
Her words were true , but I couldnt shake the knot in my y stomach .
Some of the neighboring Alphas had been our allies for years ; others had remained distant , wary of Bloodmoons strength and the influence it carried .
Convincing them to stand with us wouldnt be easy .
We start with those closest to us , Cade said , his voice still hoarse from his s injuries but strong enough to command attention .
Silverpaw and Moonray , we are already standing with you Cade said with a smile , as the Alpha of Silverpaws .
Theyve already committed their warriors , Sonia replied .
Its the others Im worried about .

The ones who think they can stay out of this Ramon nodded , his hand resting on the edge of the table .
Some of them see us as rivals , not allies .
Theyll think our fight with Lorena is ours alone .
Sonias gaze hardened .
Then we make them understand .
If they wont fight for us , theyll be fighting for their own survival sonn soon enough -First Visit Furdaw Cade insisted on leading the delegation to Furclaw himself , despite his injuries .
Sonia and I joined him , riding through the dense forest to the neighboring packs territory .
Furclaws warriors met us at the border , their presence a show of strength rather than hostility .
When we reached the heart of their village , Alpha Nathan greeted us with a firm handshake and a somber expression .
Alpha Cade , he said , his tone respectful You look like hell Cade smirked .
You should see the other guy Nathans smile faded as his gaze shifted to Sonia and me .
I assume this isnt a social visit .
With a slight bow .
Alpha Ramon , Luna Sonia .
Its not , Sonia said , stepping forward .
Lorenas rogues attacked our pack during the mid month festival .
This isnt just about Bloodmoon anymore , Alpha Nathan .
Shes building an army , and if we dont stop her together , no one will be safe .
Nathan listened carefully , his expression growing darker with each word .
When Sonia finished , he nodded .
Furclaw stands with Bloodmoon , he said firmly .
Well send warriors and supplies.
Just tell us where you need them .
Relief flickered in Sonias eyes , and I felt a lift from my chest .
One pack down .
Second Visit Moonray The meeting with Moonray was smoother , though no less somber .
Alpha Jackie greeted us with her usual blumess , but her loyalty to Sonia was unshakable , Jackie and my brother Wolf are together so I know its not a no for them .
You didnt even have to ask , Jackie said , clapping Sonia on the shoulder .
Weve been waiting for this light .
Thank you , Sonia said , her voice sincere .
Your support means everything Jackie grinned , though it didnt reach hier eyes .
Lets make sure it counts .
11:05 AM ₫ Chapter 249 Third Visit Blackthorn Pack The mood shifted when we reached Blackthorns territory .
Unlike Furclaw and Moonray , the Blackthorn pack had always been guarded , their alliance with Bloodmoon tenuous at best .
Alpha Roderick was a man known for his pragmatism and his reluctance to involve himself in matters that didnt directly benefit his pack The meeting was held in their grand hall , a cavernous space filled with warriors watching us with wary eyes .
Roderick sat at the head of the table .
his fingers steepled as he regarded us with a calculating gaze .
Alpha Ramon , Luna Sonia , he said , inclining his head .
I wasnt expecting a visit from Bloodmoon .
What brings you to my pack ? Sonia stepped forward , her posture straight and commanding Were here to ask for your support , she said .
Lorenas rogues are growing number .
Shes already attacked Bloodmoon , and her next targets will be the elders and pups of every pack she deems a threat .
This isnt just our war , Roderick .
Its everyones Roderick leaned back in his chair , a faint smile tugging at his lips .
And what exactly do y you expect from Warriors , I said , my voice firm , Supplies , if you can spare them .
We need every able bodied fighter we can get .
And what do we get in return he asked , his tone sharp .
Sonias eyes narrowed .
The survival of your pack .
Of you your family .
Isnt that enough ! has cost you .
Why Rodericks smile faded , and he leaned forward , his gaze piercing .
Ive heard about your battles with Lorena .
About how this fight h should I risk my warriors for your war when it might bring Bloodmoon to its knees anyway ? Bloodmoon falls , youll be next .
Lorena My hands clenched into fists , but before I could respond , Sonia spoke , her voice cold and sharp .
Because doesnt leave survivors , Roderick .
Shell come for your pack , your warriors , your pups .
And when she does , youll wish you had stood with us .
The hall fell silent , her words cutting through the tension like a blade .
Roderick studied her for a long moment before finally shaking his head I admire your resolve , Luna , he said .
But Blackthorn wont risk itself for a battle we might not win .
The rejection was like a punch to the gut , but Sonia didnt falter .
She nodded stiftly , her face unreadable .
If thats your choice , so be it .
But when Lorena comes for you , dont expect Bloodmoon to save you .
Rodericks expression tightened , but he said nothing as we turned and left the hall .
Fourth Visu : Greystone Pack The ride to Greystone was tense , the silence between us heavy with frustration and disappointment .
Sonias jaw was set , her hands gripping the reins tightly as we approached the packs territory .
Greystone was a smaller pack , but their warriors were known for their ferocity .
If they joined us , it would be a significant advantage .
Alpha Daisy greeted us warmly , her silver hair gleaming in the sunlight .
She listened intently as Sonia explained the situation , her expression growing grave Youre asking a lot , Dalay said when Sonia finished .
My warriors are few , and weve already had our own struggles with rogues And those struggles will only get worse if Lorena stopped , Sonia said Shell see your pack as an easy target , Daisy .
But together , we can stand Alpha studied Sonia for a long moment , then glanced at me .
You believe this is the right course , Alpha ? I without besication .
This isnt just about Bloodmoon .
Its about survival .
For all of us .
Daisy sighed , then nodded .
Very well .
Garystone will stand with you .
But I expect the same loyalty in return when the time comes .
You have our word , So said , relief flickering in her eyes .
Back at Bloodmoon 2/3 11:05 AM c c Chapter 219 By the time we returned to Bloodmoon , exhaustion weighed heavily on both of us .
The journey had been grueling , and the mixed responses from the neighboring packs had left us both frustrates .
Sonia dismounted her horse , her movements stiff with fatigue .
I followed her to the war room , where the map still lay on the table , marked with the names of the pucks we had visited .
We have Silverpaw , Moonray , Fur Claw and Greystone , she said , her voice weary .
But Blackthorn … I dont understand how he can be so short- sighted sy , I said , my frustration simmering just beneath the surface .
Hell only act if he sees immediate benefit for Rodericks always been that way , himself Then well prove him wrong she said firmly .
When we win n this war , hell regret not standing with us .
I placed a hand on her shoulder , squeezing gently .
You were incredible out there , I said .
Every Alpha we spoke to could see your strength .
Youre the reason we gained the allies we did .
She looked up at me , her eyes softening .
We did it together , she said .
I nodded , though my heart ached with the weight of everything still ahead .
The haule was far from over , and every decision we made felt like another gamble with our lives and the lives of our pack Get some rest 1 I said softly .
Youve earned it .
She hesitated , then nodded .
You too As she left the room , I turned back to the map , my eyes lingering on the border of Blackthorns territory .
We would fight with the allies we had .
And when the time came , I would make sure Roderick regretted turning his back on us .
