The first rays of morning crept through Estella's window, golden and warm, but she was already awake, sitting at the edge of her bed with a determined glint in her eyes. Today marked the beginning of the training program—a rigorous, weeks-long challenge that would push her to her limits. As she looked around her room, a sense of finality settled over her. She wouldn't be sleeping here for a while. The training grounds, although set within the forest surrounding the Northern Pack, were now neutral territory. For the sake of fairness, she wasn't allowed to return home, just like every other Luna and dignitary participating.
She had to act as one of them. No special treatment.
