Lucas POV
Abel's eyes widened. "Attack? Lucas, that's a serious move. We'd need—"
"I know what we need," I interrupted. "That's why I want the council there. We're going to do this properly, with everyone's approval. But trust me, Abel. This is the opportunity we've been waiting for. Royal Hunter Pack has been a thorn in our side for too long. It's time to remove it."
Abel studied my face for a long moment, then slowly nodded. "Alright. I'll make the calls. Give me two hours to get everyone assembled."
"One hour," I countered. "We don't have time to waste."
"One hour," Abel agreed, already reaching for his phone.
I left his office and headed to the war room, my mind buzzing with possibilities. The Royal Hunters pack's territory bordered ours to the east. They had good land, strong water sources, and strategic positioning that my pack had coveted for years. If we could take it, we'd double our territory and resources overnight.
