*A Month After the Battle*
The Silvermoon Pack was celebrating their victory over Ryker's army. The pack members were gathered around a roaring fire, sharing stories and laughter. Kael and Lyra sat together, watching their pack with pride.
"I'm glad we defeated Ryker," Lyra said, her voice filled with relief. "I was worried he'd never stop coming after us."
"We make a good team, Lyra," Kael replied, his eyes locked on hers. "I couldn't have done it without you."
Lyra smiled, her eyes shining with happiness. "I feel the same way, Kael. We're stronger together."

"I wanted to share this place with you," Kael said, his eyes locked on hers. "It's one of my favorite spots in the pack's territory."
Lyra's heart swelled with emotion. "It's beautiful, Kael. Thank you for sharing it with me."
As they stood there, watching the waterfall, Kael wrapped his arms around Lyra, pulling her close. "I'm glad we're together, Lyra. I don't know what I'd do without you."
Lyra smiled, feeling safe and loved. "You'll never have to find out, Kael. I'm not going anywhere."
*A Few Days Later*
Lyra was out on a patrol, checking the pack's borders. She had been doing this for weeks, making sure that Ryker's men hadn't left any surprises behind. As she walked through the forest, she sensed a presence behind her.

"I didn't mean to startle you," Kael said, his eyes locked on hers. "I just wanted to join you
