Chapter 252 SONIAS POV The days leading up to the battle felt like an eternity and a blink all at once .
The pack house buzzed with a mix of anxious energy and focused determination .
Warriors sharpened their blades , the metallic sound ringing out over the courtyard .
Others reinforced the walls , their hands stained with the earthy scent of freshly packed stone and mortar .
Yet the weight of uncertainty hung in in the air , coiling around everyone like a living thing that refused to let go .
I stood in the center of the courtyard , watching the organized chaos unfold around me .
My hand rested protectively over my swollen belly , the other gripping the edge of a railing for balance , I could feel the twins shifting restlessly , as if they too sensed the storm that was about to descend .
Nearby , Ramons deep voice cut through the noise as he spoke with the captains .
His words were measured , his tone steady , but I knew him too well to miss the tension in his jaw or the way his fingers twitched at his side .
He was carrying the weight of this war as much as I was , perhaps more .
Luna Ivys voice pulled me from my thoughts .
She stood beside me , her gaze sharp and perceptive , always attuned to the smallest details .
The armor adjustments you requested are ready .
Should I bring them here or to your chambers ? To my chambers , I said , forcing my voice to remain steady .
Thank you , Ivy She nodded but didnt move .
Her eyes ling I hesitated lingered on me , her concern evident .
Have you eaten ! Thats what I thought , she said with a small sigh .
Ill have something brought to you .
And dont even think about refusing A faint smile rugged at my lips despite the heaviness in my chest .
Thank you , I said again , softer this time .
The war room was alive with quiet intensity when I entered .
The large oak table at the center was dominated by a sprawling map of our territories , marked with routes , defensive lines , and points of attack Around it stood the Alphas of our allied packs- Jackie of Moonray , Cade of Silverpaw , Nathan Furclaw , Miriam of Greystone , and Daisy of Starshade .
Each Alpha brought a unique presence to the room Jackies sharp eyes scanned the map with a predators focus , while Miriam stood tall and composed , her silver hair catching the flickering candlelight .
Nathan radiated calm strength , his measured demeanor grounding the room , and Daisys quict confidence was a steady reminder of her own packs resilience .
Ramon stood beside Cade and my other brothers , deep in discussion about the vulnerable eastern pass .
My arrival shifted the focus momentarily .
and the Alphas greeted me with nods and murmurs of acknowledgment .
Luna , Cade said , bowing slightly .
The northern and southern borders are reinforced .
Weve stationed additional scouts at each point .
Good I said , stepping closer to the m map .
My fingers traced the lines of the marked borders , my mind racing with possibilities .
ethere , they could cut Besa Blane cleared his throat , his tone cautious .
Theres one issue .
The eastern pass , its vulnerable .
If Lorenas forces strike the off our supply routes .

I frowned , studying the area he indicated .
Whats the status of status of our defenses there ! Light Cade admitted .
We reinforced the area as much as we could without weakening the main line , but if Lorena focuses her forces there- She will , Jackie interrupted , her tone blunt .
Shes too calculated to leave any weaknesses unexplored .
Shes desperate , Nathian countered , his voice calmn .
Desperate people make mistakes .
Desperation doesnt make her less dangerous , Miriam said , her voice laced with quiet wisdom .
It makes her unpredictable .
Ramon nodded , his hands gripping the edge of the table .
Thats why we need to be ready for anything .
This battle isnt just about holding the line .
its about ending her .
The room fell silent as his words sank in .
My gaze swept across the Alphas , their expressions a mix of determination and concern Jackies fierce resolve , Nathans steady calm , Miriams thoughtful planning .
Daisys quiet strength , together , they embodied the unity we had worked so hard to forge .

Chapter 252 This alliance is the reason we stand a chance , I said , breaking the silence .
My voice was firm despite the ache in my back .
Lorenas power lies in division .
By coming together , weve already taken that power from her Jackie gave me a faint smile , the edges of her sharp demeanor softening .
I hope your confidence is contagious , Luna Its not confidence .
I replied , meeting her gaze .
Its resolve .
As the discussion resumed .
I felt a sharp kick from one of the twins .
1 winced slightly , my hand pressing against my belly .
Ramons gaze snapped to me instantly , his concem flickering across his face Are you okay ? he asked , his voice low and steady as he stepped closer .
Im fine , I said , forcing a small smile .
Just a ta reminder that th theyre impatient to meet the world .
Theyll meet it when its ready for them , he said , his voice soft but resolute .
Nathan glanced over , his brow furrowing .
Youre far along .
Luna .
Are you sure you should be here ? Im exactly where I need to be , I said firmly , straightening my posture .
This is my pack , my family , and my fight .
I wouldnt be anywhere else .
Miriam nodded approvingly .
Your strength is remarkable , Luna , But dont forget to take care of yourself too .
Dont worry , Ramon interjected , his tone laced with quiet protectiveness .
I wont let her forget ! The plans solidified as the Alphas worked together , their strategies weaving into a cohesive defense .
When the meeting concluded , they began to disperse , each returning to their warriors with renewed purpose .
Jackie lingered for a moment , her sharp gaze softening as she turned to me .
Youve got guts , Sonia , she said , her tone warm .
Not many would stand where you are now , especially in your condition .
Cuts or stubbornness , I replied with a faint smile .
Maybe both , she said , clapping me on the shoulder .
Take care of yourself , Luna .
Well see you on the battlefield That night , the nursery was quiet as I sat in the rocking chair , watching the soft glow of the moonlight spill across the room .
The cribs were the blankets neatly folded , and the faint scent of lavender filled the air , a calm sanctuary awaiting the chaos of the days ahead ready , I rested a hand on my belly , feeling the twins shift again .
Youre not even here yet , I whispered , my voice trembling And youve already changed everything .
ne mine The door opened softly , and Hamon stepped inside , his footsteps quiet as he crossed the room .
He knelt beside me , his hand covering Theyll be here soon , he said , his voice filled with quiet awe .
I nodded , tears slipping down my checks .
I just want them to be safe They will be , he said firmly .
Til make sure of it .
As the inc moon nor higher in the sky , we sat there together , surrounded by the quiet promise of the life we were fighting to protect .
A sharp knock broke the stillness , and Beta Blane voice called through the door , urgent and strained .
Alpha , Luna , the scouts are back .
Lorenas forces are closer than we thought , theyll be at our gates in two days ,
