Léonie dodged a blow from Lena and retaliated with a speed that surprised everyone, including herself. Lena stood up, wiping the sweat from her forehead, and looked at her with an unreadable expression.

“Well done,” Lena said, but there was a hint of sourness in her voice. “But don’t think that because you have special powers that you are superior to us. »

Léonie clenched her fists, feeling anger rising within her. “I don’t think so. We are here to learn, just like you. »

Éléa , sensing the tension, intervened. “We’re all on the same team. If we want to succeed, we must work together. »

Adrien, who was watching from afar, also intervened. “Lena, Leonie, enough for today. We are a pack, a family. It is essential that we support each other. »

The tension dissipated somewhat, but the twins felt the weight of expectations and jealousies that already existed within the pack. They understood that gaining the trust and respect of their new companions would not be an easy task.

#### 4. Bonds are forged

Despite the first tensions, bonds began to form between the twins and certain members of the pack. Nathan, with his quick wit and sense of humor, quickly became a close friend. He showed them the recesses of the forest, sharing stories and legends of their new world.

“You know,” Nathan said, climbing nimbly onto a low branch of a tree, “the forest has its own secrets. There are places where even the corrupt dare not tread. »

Éléa , fascinated, listened attentively. " Like what ? »

Nathan smiled mysteriously. “You will find out in due time. For the

Now, focus on your workout. The forest will reveal its secrets to those who know how to listen. »

Thalia, for her part, took Éléa under her wing. They spent hours meditating and practicing ancient rituals, deepening their connection with the mystical forces of nature.

“Every Lycan has a special connection with the moon,” Thalia explained one evening, as the moonlight reflected off a calm lake. “She gives us strength and guides us. You must learn to feel this energy, to channel it. »

Éléa , eyes closed, focused on Thalia's words. She felt a gentle warmth invade her, as if the moon itself was bathing her in its benevolent energy. This feeling of peace and power comforted her, giving her a new perspective on her role within the pack.

#### 5. Early progress and challenges

The following days were marked by notable progress, but also by new challenges. The training became more and more intensive, testing the twins' physical and mental limits.

Léonie, with her fiery spirit, excelled in physical combat. Her raw strength and agility impressed Marcus, who began to see her as an exceptional fighter.

“You have a natural talent,” he told her after a particularly grueling session. “But remember, strength alone is not enough. You have to learn to use your head as well as your muscles. »

Léonie nodded, out of breath but determined. " I understand. I will do my best. »

Éléa , for her part, discovered a surprising aptitude for strategy and tactical thinking. During a simulated battle exercise, she surprised Marcus and the others by coming up with a bold but effective strategy that allowed her team to achieve victory.

“Well done, Éléa ,” Adrien said, observing the scene. “You have a strategic mind. Use it wisely. »

However, despite these successes, tensions persisted. Lena, in particular, seemed to have difficulty accepting the twins' growing place within the pack. One evening, while Léonie was training alone, Lena came to find her.

“I know you’re good,” she said without preamble. “But don’t think that gives you the right to change everything here. »

Léonie, surprised by the confrontation, looked her straight in the eyes. “I’m not looking to change anything. I just want to be part of the pack. »

Lena shrugged. “Words are easy. Show it through your actions. »

#### 6. A new threat emerges

As the twins continued to integrate and improve, a new threat loomed on the horizon. Reports began to come in from various allied packs of increased activity from corrupted Lycans .

Adrien brings the pack together for an emergency meeting. “The corrupt are getting bolder. We have information that they are planning something big. We must be ready to face them. »

The members of the pack exchanged worried glances. Nathan, always pragmatic, asked the question that was burning on everyone's lips. “What’s their plan, Adrien? »

Adrien sighed. “We don’t know yet. But what we do know is that they seek to weaken the most powerful packs. They are targeting us specifically. »

Éléa and Léonie felt a new wave of determination. They knew that their role within the pack was going to be crucial in the days to come. They had to prepare not only to defend their new family, but also to play a key role in the fight against this growing threat.

With the threat of the corrupt looming, the twins' training became even more intense. Adrien, Marcus and the other members of the pack pushed them to surpass themselves, preparing them for the fights to come.

“It’s not enough to know how to fight,” Marcus often said. “You must learn to think like warriors, anticipate the movements of your enemies, and use your powers strategically. »

Éléa and Léonie spent hours training, pushing their physical and mental limits. They worked on their reflexes, their endurance, and above all, on their ability to channel and control their powers. The sessions with Thalia became more frequent and more intense, helping them deepen their connection with the moon and strengthen their mystical abilities.

One evening, when the moon was full, Thalia led them to an ancient stone circle deep in the forest. “It’s a sacred place,” she explained to them. “Here you can feel the power of the moon in all its intensity. Use this energy to strengthen your bonds and your powers. »

The twins sat in the center of the circle, eyes closed, focusing on the silver light that bathed them. They felt a wave of energy pass through them, connecting them not only to the moon, but also to each other. They felt stronger, more united than ever.
