Chapter 166 Bonds Between Packs

• DRAKE
• Helping Briana pack the mesh bags into a wagon, I smiled as the sound of laughter filled the clearing. Wolves from Silver Paw and Moonveil chatted easily now, their earlier tension forgotten. Today’s foraging lesson had gone better than I’d hoped—everyone seemed to enjoy learning about the different plants that could help or harm us in the upcoming fight.
• Peter had been the star of the day, carefully picking a dark green plant with red veins and black-tipped leaves. He explained how the plant, called wolfsblood, worked—how even a small dose could thicken a victim’s blood until their heart stopped. It was deadly, but useful. Watching him teach the others reminded me how far we’d come as a group—two packs once at odds, now preparing side by side.
