Betrayal of a Keen

When Nyx comes back to her den, she is immediately notified about an emergency meeting. She lets out a sigh and slips into some comfortable clothes within a few moments, the traditional clothes are such a hassle.

She pauses the moment she enters the meeting room, there is a person she never thought she would see again. Her younger brother Walker is standing in the corner of the room, looking like a completely changed man. His hair has grown down his shoulders within a few months, his physique has become bulky and powerful.

"Heya, sister," he waves his hand, smirking.

"I thought you left to join the warrior squad," Nyx scoffs, finding it hard to believe. "How come I didn't know you're such a great actor, Walker?"

He laughs maniacally, making everyone present at the hall question his sanity. "Because you were dumb, sister. A neglected daughter who was always obsessed with fucking witchcraft, craving for revenge. You got your throne, but at what cost? All of this is gonna be annihilated soon, along with your pathetic self."

Nyx glances at Advisor Quen, frowning. "I can't believe you let him into my territory."

"He did it forcefully. He even attacked the guards and we didn't want any injured."

"Ouch, my feelings are hurt," Walker slaps the table dramatically, indicating at Sonic who's sitting quietly. "He's a Deserter too, but why's he in the Advisor Committee? Just because he helped with your little scheme? And I was born in this pack, grew up here, goddamn it!"

"Shut up," Nyx snaps, feeling irrational that she believed this fucker's words, the rumours were always right. He just wanted her pity, making a fool outta her feelings.

"Take him away, guards. And let us start the meeting."

Advisor Quen stands up after Walker is taken forcefully to the solitary room, clearing his throat. He holds up a parchment in his hand and starts reading,

"Today, We, the Advisor Committee, have been united here for an emergency meeting. Much or less, as we all are aware of, a war has been declared upon us on the Blood Moon pack. While the enemies identities still aren't clear, it's highly suspected that Alpha Noah from Vengeance pack, Former Alpha Walker Vincent from our Blood Moon pack and their army at command is behind this. Our Advisor Jenna was caught up in this mess and may God rest her soul in peace. But we can't sit quietly after this horrendous people and we must take action. Protection guards have been appointed around the borders of our pack and warrior squads are preparing for facing any challenge. It's only right for us to do as our duties to protect common people from dangers and any person who interact with the enemies will be severely punished, no matter what's the situation."

Whispers begins among the Committee members, discussing the situation under their breath.

Nyx stands up from her seat, her pheromones are exploding with anger and bloodlust.

"My fellow advisors," her voice roars, making everyone quiet in a second. "You have heard of the situation, known what that foreigner bastard Noah is going to do to us. Are going to do nothing and watch his army demolish us? No, absolutely no. Walker is my keen, I can't kill him, but I'll make sure he suffers till he dies, for betraying his pack. Once my father betrothed me to that monster, which was just a year ago. I was just his prey and he never did his duty fully as a leader. But here I can promise, I'll be a far better leader than he ever was and I mean to prove that with my actions."

Low cheering fills up the room, the advisors mildly start praising the Alphaess. Nyx decides that she'll be monitoring the battle squad herself, along with her commanders. She suspects that Walker's entry here was most likely a trap, nonetheless he's a traitor and he deserves to be punished. And still there are no traces of her father Alpha Vincent, looks like he disappeared from the pack for good.

Nyx leaves the room after a while, there's a lot in her hands to do right now. She must begin her physical training along with other wolfs, to fight in the war, to protect her people.

She stops in front of the solitary room, sounds of low howling and hissing could be heard. The guard in duty unlocks the door carefully, it's evident that Walker isn't in his normal condition.

"Did they feed you drugs in the Deserters camp or something?" Nyx looks down at him with disgust, at how he has made a mess in the room, on the walls with his claws. "Who did you call pathetic, huh, look at yourself."

Walker smiles grimacing, his face eyes are wild with bloodlust. "Why so hurtful, sister? Did you forget how you used to sing me lullabies to put me into sleep? Where did that caring and loving Nyx go?"

"She died the day when you killed her pet cat, since she realised you're a monster deep down too. She died when she came to know that you have been tryna harm her and you're the reason why her dad started to neglect her. Still she put up with your acting, thinking you could change. Now she understands why you were so buddy buddy with Noah, guess birds of a flock fly together."

He gives her a death stare, "Your time is almost over, Nyx. Me and Noah will destroy you."

"How? By breaking your nails in a solitary room?" Nyx chuckles, there's no way out. "You're imprisoned here for God-knows-how long, Walker, get that shit into your empty head."

"Too much confidence, sister. I would love to see you like that till the end."

"Sure, if you live until the end, I mean," Nyx walks out of the room.

And causing her shriek of surprise and excitement, she sees Lorenzo standing at the entrance, with his arms open wide.
