Chapter 40 Forging

• Erin and Iris, weary but purposeful, had weathered the recent turmoil of the Moonbay Pack. At every turn, trials had beset their leadership and their relationship, but now they forged a new path to bring permanent peace and unity to all their people. As they continued working on managing the lingering resentments in the pack, they realised a need to focus on rebuilding and making their community more resilient.
• First came the need to regain the pack's trust. Erin and Iris knew that their actions had to be more than superficial; it required a soulful commitment. They held meetings regularly where pack members were allowed to speak up about their grievances and input in a very open and non-judgemental space.
• It was one sunny afternoon when Erin and Iris brought together a town hall-type meeting in the central clearing, intending to hold open dialogues so that every pack member could be heard. The atmosphere was way more relaxed compared to the former confrontations, and one could feel cautious optimism in the air.
