Kirk stared at Kolton in complete bewilderment. The concept seemed impossible to grasp - how could any man assist his greatest rival, especially for a woman they both desired?
Was Kolton genuine in his intentions, or had love transformed him into something foolish and reckless?
"Alpha Kolton, this puts your life at serious risk. You're already wounded badly. You need to retreat now."
Deep, threatening growls echoed through the darkness ahead, forcing Kirk to halt mid-sentence. He spun around and spotted the silhouettes of multiple wolves illuminated by moonlight, advancing rapidly from the distance.
The approaching pack emerged from the border territory - the boundary line of the Crimson Moon Pack.
Kirk remained frozen, too stunned to process what he was witnessing.
Enemy roars filled the air as the opposing forces realized their miscalculation. They had expected an easy victory against Kirk, believing he lacked sufficient fighters to mount a proper defense.
