The atmosphere and condition of the Silvermoon Pack's community and environment was cool, the pack members felt both excited and worried, despite their emotional and mood swings the pack members continued with their regular tasks and responsibilities, even as they were doing their usual activities, their minds were also occupied with thoughts about the upcoming meeting. Alpha Gabriel couldn't help it but feel the high hopes and anticipation that the pack members had carried regarding the meeting, and Gabriel personally felt the burden of his role and duties for the meeting.

About seven minutes before the meeting took place, Gabriel was all alone, he stood outside of his palace looking up at the night sky filled with beautiful stars. He was just observing how the moon slowly came out. The moon light created a soft, silver-colored illumination, which then produced elongated shadows on the ground. Thinking about his pasts in specific; the suffering he had inflicted on others and his love life he had lost.

Beta Brent had approached Gabriel quietly, having an understanding that his presence was welcomed and acceptable by Gabriel. Beta Brent had been a reliable ally throughout this journey providing both guidance, and practical assistance.

Beta Brent first inhaled, exhaled and said; Alpha I know the burden you carry on your shoulders, and I admire and appreciate your dedication and commitment to achieving peace, but remember we cannot control nor dictate the decision made by other people, the most we can do or you can do is provide guidance and opportunities for a better future.

Yeah my dear friend Brent, that is quite true, despite me having the power to force decisions on whoever is in my pack or territory I would want everyone to choose peace by themselves. And I do appreciate your wisdom, and all what you spat out of your mouth is correct, indeed your ideas are the best. We would do as you have said and hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

The next day, at exactly 9am, in the morning the representatives of the blackwood pack arrived at the meeting place, Lucas Blackwood the prominent figure and leader of the blackwood pack led the group. Gabriel and Lucas exchanges greetings before taking their seats.

The environment and atmosphere was obvious for anyone to feel the unease, as both packs members came together in the arena, Alpha Gabriel stood up and spoke to the gathered wolves, all words he spoke were significant and hold water, he said; we stand here today, we all gathered here today and let's view each other not as enemies or rivals but as neighboring packs who coexisted in the same territory. It is my wish that both packs can live together in harmony and without conflict and ensure the prosperity of our packs.

Lucas Blackwood stood up to reply to Gabriel statement, his voice sounding serious, peace is indeed a noble goal, and I and my pack are open to consider the different options and solutions but unfortunately not all the members of my pack are on the same page with this peace idea the reason for this is, Some members of my Blackwood Pack are worried that a peaceful arrangement might put my pack's safety at risk.

The conversation was still ongoing, it became clear to Alpha Gabriel that reaching an agreement would be more difficult than he thought it would be. As the topics discussed were not easy, as all the wolves in the both packs engaged in the discussion, they all seemed to have emotional responses.

The final agreement they concluded on is that both members of the two packs would stay clear of their opposite boundaries, share access to important resources to promote cooperation and prevent resource-related conflicts. And in order to maintain and ensure additional security, they decided to create a team made up of the two packs which would monitor the borders they shared.

The representatives had gone to their various residences, Gabriel felt there was hope, and he understood that the real challenge lies in putting the agreement into action. The success of this agreement would depend on whether it could build trust and enable collaboration between the two packs as time goes by.

He Talked about the importance of being together and united and the need for each one of them to respect the final decision. Gabriel began hearing murmurs from different edges as some of the wolves didn't want to comply, while the others accepted the decision.

After the silvermoon pack meeting ended, the environment was calm and quiet, Gabriel once again stood all alone under the night sky, thinking about the journey he had started, the choice he had made to bring peace between the two packs, it was something his ancestors had never done or wanted there history books were full of bloodshed and absolute chaos between the two packs. Alpha Gabriel wasn't sure if his mum would be in support of his decision, so he Haven't informed her yet about the peace matters. Despite it all he held his hopes high and strong.
