Aria felt the link quivering, her light straying but holding as she concentrated on Luca's presence next to her. The pendant flashed quickly.
Her voice sharp, she continued, "We're not afraid of you."
The competitor Alpha said, his smile deepening, "maybe you should be."
The fight broke out with unexpected intensity, the rival Alpha releasing a tsunami of energy that rocked the cavern. The pack maintained their ground, their togetherness strengthened by the power of the link.
Luca yelled, his voice piercing the anarchy, "Stay together!"
Though the rival Alpha's might be overpowering, the pack's will was relentless. Aria felt the pendant's light burning brilliantly, its energy steadying her as she battled to maintain the tie unbroken.
Her voice quivering but firm, she continued, "We can do this."
Luca said, his grey eyes flashing, "together."
