With the threat of Seungcheol's father and his pack gone, Seungcheol had slowly been allowing the Omega's and Beta's to start patrol and hunting again.

However, Dino had yet to do either. So one night eager to stretch his legs, Dino ventured close to the river that marked the border of the pack's territory.

As he walked along the riverbank, Dino's senses picked up an unfamiliar scent.

He froze, the scent was distinctly wolf but carried an undertone that was foreign to him.

Curious and cautious, he followed the trail until he spotted a figure on the opposite bank.

It was infact another wolf, and he stranger seemed to sense Dino's presence and looked up, their eyes locking across the river.

The stranger stopped a respectful distance away.  "Who are you?" Dino asked.

"My name is Minho. I'm from the Silvermoon Pack." He offered a small, friendly smile. 

Dino tilted his head, intrigued. The Silvermoon Pack was known for their peaceful nature and often kept to themselves. "I'm Dino. What brings you so close to our territory?"

"I'm a scout for the Silvermoon Pack. I didn't mean to intrude, but I was just passing through and caught the scent of your pack." He explained.

"A scout?" Dino asked, relaxing slightly.

"Our pack is looking to establish alliances. We believe that cooperation and communication between packs can help us all deal with threats more effectively. So I've been scouting the area to learn more about our neighbors." Minho said.

"And when I caught the scent of your pack, I remember there's been talk of your recent confrontation with the Shadowclaw Pack." Minho added. "The Shadowclaws are a common threat, and their aggression affects us all."

"We handled them pretty well. Seungcheol, our leader, made sure they won't be bothering us again anytime soon." Dino aggreed, sensing no ill intent from Minho.

Minho's eyes sparkled with interest. "Seungcheol, huh? I've heard he's a strong leader. Your pack is lucky to have him." He smiled

"Yeah, we are. He's really turned things around for us." Dino nodded.

"Maybe one day, our packs can meet under better circumstances. My alpha believes that by sharing information and resources, we can all become stronger and more resilient." Minho suggested.

"It sounds like a good idea, but it's not up to me. I'll need to inform my leaders about this. They'll decide what steps to take next." Dino considered Minho's offer.

"Of course. I understand. Perhaps we could arrange a meeting between our leaders?" Minho asked.

Dino nodded. "I'll bring your message to them. If they agree, we'll set up a meeting. Until then, it's best if you stay clear of our borders. We have some alphas who might not be as understanding." Dino said, knowing how protective their Alpha's can get.

Minho chuckled softly. "Noted. Thank you for your understanding, Dino. I hope our packs can find a way to work together."

"I should get back," Dino said. "But it was good meeting you, Minho. Travel safely."

Minho nodded, taking a step back. "And you, Dino. If you ever need anything, I'll be arround." He waved goodbye.

As Minho turned and disappeared back into the forest, Dino felt a slight sense of excitement. This encounter could mark the beginning of a new chapter for their pack.
