The sprawling expanse of the shifter compound buzzed with activity, but at its epicenter stood the training grounds. Shifters of all kinds sparred, their movements a blur of power and precision. For Elena, this wasn't just a field of dirt and sweat—it was her new domain.
In her short time there, Elena had instituted a regimen, not just of physical training but also of strategy and tactics. She was molding the shifters, turning brawn into brain, rage into rationale.
Among the many she worked with, there was one who stood out - Kai. Unlike others, he was not all raw power and speed. Kai was meticulous, observing before striking, a thinking warrior. He had been one of the captives from the theater, and his past was a web of scars and survival.
