The night sky above Sherwood Pack's territory was a canvas of stars, their distant light casting a serene glow over the chaos below. Inside the pack house, the sounds of celebration reverberated through the walls—cheers of victory and laughter that seemed to mock the profound grief enveloping Luna Sophia.
Sophia, her heart shattered by the loss of her son, Matthew, found the revelry outside unbearable. The contrast between the pack’s joy and her own sorrow felt like a knife twisting in her chest. With every burst of laughter and every cheer, her sense of loss deepened, making her anguish feel even more acute.
Determined to find a glimmer of hope amid her despair, Sophia slipped away from the festivities unnoticed. Her steps were heavy, weighed down by grief and the lifeless body of her son. She made her way through the darkened forest, her path illuminated only by the faint glow of the moon. The trees loomed like silent sentinels, their shadows stretching long and dark across her path.
