3rd person’s POV
The roar of battle had faded into an uneasy silence. The once vibrant field of conflict now lay in disarray, littered with the remnants of a fierce struggle. The Bloodmoon Pack emerged victorious, but the price of their triumph was steep. The victorious cries of the pack were tinged with the somber reality of their losses. Warriors who had fought bravely now lay among the fallen, and the survivors moved with heavy hearts as they began to assess the damage.
Kate stood amidst the wreckage, her eyes scanning the scene with a mix of grief and determination. The cost of the battle was evident in the exhausted faces and the damaged homes scattered across the pack’s territory. The Bloodmoon Pack had weathered the storm, but the scars left by the conflict would take time to heal.
The pack’s warriors, despite their weariness, worked diligently to carried the bodies of their fallen Men carrying them to the morgue while some of them also tend to the wounded. Some warriors also gather the bodies of the Rogues and Werewolf hunters and burnt them, The air was thick with the scent of blood and smoke, a stark reminder of the violence that had unfolded. Kate, her own fatigue barely masked, moved among them, offering assistance wherever she could. Her hands were covered in dirt and blood, but her resolve remained unshaken.
Dimitri, though visibly exhausted, worked beside her. His cursed form had taken a toll, and the once-powerful Lycan leader now bore the marks of the battle’s brutality. Yet, his presence was a source of strength for the pack, a symbol of their resilience. He watched Kate with a mixture of pride and concern, recognizing the depth of her commitment to their pack.
As the sun began to set, casting long shadows over the field, Louis gathered the pack for a meeting. The survivors, weary but resolute, assembled at the pack house. Their faces were etched with exhaustion and sorrow, the weight of their losses heavy in the air.
Dimitri took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the assembled pack members. His voice, though tired, was firm and filled with determination. “We’ve won the battle, but the fight is far from over. We’ve lost many brave warriors today, and our pack is left vulnerable. But we are strong, and we will rebuild.”
His words were met with a murmur of agreement, the pack’s spirits buoyed by his leadership. They knew the road ahead would be difficult, but Dimitri’s unwavering strength and resolve gave them hope. He had protected them putting his life at risk not only as a warrior but as a leader, and the pack looked to him for guidance.
The night brought a somber calm, the pack members working tirelessly to tend to the wounded and repair the damage. Kate moved from group to group, offering support and guidance. Her growing leadership skills were evident in the way she managed the recovery efforts, organizing the warriors and ensuring that everyone had a role to play.
As the moon rose high in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the battlefield, Kate found a moment of respite. She stood alone, at the balcony of the pack house, looking out over the field where so much had been lost. The weight of the day’s events settled heavily on her shoulders, but her determination remained steadfast.
The pack’s survival depended on their ability to heal and rebuild, and Dimitri was committed to leading them through the challenges ahead. He knew that their enemies would not rest, and the Bloodmoon Pack would need to be stronger and more united than ever.
As the night deepened, the pack slowly began to settle into a more subdued rhythm. The wounded were cared for, and the pack clinic was filled with Injured warriors, all hands are on deck, the nurse are applying the Antidote of the poison the rogues use, Dimitri knew that the process of healing would take time, but He was ready to face the trials ahead.
It is over now, Louis said as he stood beside Dimitri, I have sent out Sir Cedric and some warriors after the rogues that escaped, they will lead us to their hide out and we will ensure we get rid of them all and I also informed them to scout for anything that can help us in our investigations.

At Dawn Sir Cedric alongside other warriors who had gone after the rogues are back at the Pack.
Sir Cedric head straight to Dimitri’s office and met Louis, Kate and the Elders. He gave a slight bow to greet everyone and strode into the office. He dropped the package in his hand on table that stood high at the centre.
“We were able to track the rogues back to their hide out,” Sir Cedric said. And we got rid of every single one of them, and then we checked the cave for informations that could help, so here are what we gathered, he opened the package, and inside are Maps, Notes, Ledger and lots of information including the ones that proves the involvement of the Twilight Fang pack and then maps to the rest of their hideout.
Some information about the werewolf hunters organization were also recovered.
We check out two more of their hideout closer to the one we got all this, and we also got rid of every single creature that are present at those locations.
Dimitri check through the package, “this will be a very useful information for us,” he said, weldone warriors.
We will send them to Werewolf Council to help them in taking action on the treason Alpha Damien and his Beta had committed and then track down the Werewolf hunters while we focus on rebuilding our pack.
He turned to Louis, “I want you to send out messages to the Werewolf Council and other packs on the location of the Rogues hide out we must wipe them all out, we can’t afford to allow them regroup again, Dimitri said.
Alright, Louis responded with a nod.
“We should check on our Men at the clinic and see if the Doctors need any help,” Kate suggested.
***
The pack clinic is very busy, as the Doctors and Nurses are working effortlessly to save the injured and poisoned warriors, there are over fifty injured warriors at the clinic, and they had recorded Thirty loss and the doctors are working seriously not to lose any of the injured warriors.
Sadness filled Dimitri’s face as he watch his Men cry out in pain, while some are just laying unconscious.
The rogues had changed the poison they were using to attack them, thankfully with the help of Sir Gareth, they were able to find the Antidote to the new poison.
“I want you to prepare the our dead for the burial, we should pay our last respect,” Dimitri said as he head out of the clinic with Kate walking side by side with him.
***
The burial ground were filled with the pack members, the families of the dead warriors were crying and mourning,
Mother’s has lost their children, wives lost their husbands and Children lost their Fathers.
Dimitri heart sank as he sees his people cried. He felt their pain deep in his bones, he remembered the day he had lost his parents and then his first mate, Kate stood beside him feeling the pain of the pack members. They both moved closer to the families giving their condolences.
After some minutes, the bodies of the men were prepared to be creamated, with each family standing with the body of their loved.
After the burial, Dimitri alongside Louis and Kate and the Pack elders walked out of the burial ground, by passing in the midst of the pack members.
Dimitri sensed a wary atmosphere as some pack members gathered in small group discussing, as Dimitri walked past them, he sees a look of fear, sadness and disdain on their face. They didn’t even bother to show their respect by giving a slight nod rather they gave a daring gaze.
Dimitri felt a bit uncomfortable,
“Did you see that,” he asked Louis who is walking closely beside him.
“See what,” Louis asked.
Look to your right, It seem like they are plotting something., Dimitri said.
How is that possible,” Louis said. They are just mourning so don’t be paranoid. You as well need a lot of rest.
This battle with the rogues really took a toll on everyone.
So let’s focus on rebuilding the pack and healing up, Louis added.
