"You know you might end up giving the lady a panic attack... "
Luca joked, emerging from the shadows as he watched the alpha stare at the moving vehicle, watching every route it took like a predator marking it's prey.
"she's lucky she's still alive, I would've ripped her throat" Lyrien growled after shifting back to human and wearing the coat he'd ordered Luca to bring.
"uhm... need I remind you she's a girl, not just any girl.... the chosen"
" and my son was nearly dead when I found him!!! that's unforgivable! " He shouted, his wrath resonating through the woods Nyx would shiver wherever she was, he was sure.
He smirked upon recalling the amount of fear he instilled in her. Oh how much he loved it.
"How's Ryder?"
he asked the pack doctor upon getting to the pack house.
" barely recovering, with the amount of silver burned into his skin he should be dead... he suffered one severe blow to the head, with silver"
he added, emphasizing on the silver to state his point
" I already understand so stop the intonation, I'm not a child" Lyrien growled at him causing him to submit
" yes alpha"
" tsk... big bully"
Luca scoffed and turned to leave
"I'll be keeping an eye on them so I hope you'll refrain from seeking them out for horrors and your personal entertainment. "
Lyrien groaned at the condition he set before finally giving in.
"I won't. so better find a way to ease her into this whole mess of a life"
Luca shook his head in pity and left he had absolutely no idea on how to do that.
Besides after that stunt Lyrien pulled, he doubted the girl would function at all.

"add a little more please you know how I get with the chocolate" Nyx grinned at Avery who reluctantly complied.
Contrary to what Luca thought, Nyx was still very much up and doing however...
Closing her eyes to savour the smell, she suddenly saw flash of yellow eyes and quickly snapped her eyes open panting heavily.
"you're safe... you're safe, now join me count. 60, 59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, 53, 52, 51, 50" Nyx muttered alongside her while rubbing her fingers roughly till her breathe evened out,then she burst into tears.
"I'm so sorry Avery, sorry I'm acting out and is so pathetic. it's just a dream I should get over it but I can't, I close my eyes and see those yellow eyes laughing sarcastically at me... I'm tired Avery I truly am"
Avery hugged her tight into a warm reassuring embrace
" you won't loose me dear, I promise you that"
Nyx was slowly loosing it, and Avery knew that. She wanted to help but had no idea what to do or what the issue was she felt... useless.
"I would go get your coffee, feel free to explore the woods, as long as you're within a certain radius from home you should be safe"
Nyx nodded and stepped out, her brown hair in the wind. she couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Ryder. she had no ill intention towards him, Avery on the other hand would frail his skin from his body is he were to try anything funny.
Nyx sighed at the wind, the serene environment was not giving good vibes, sitting on the front porch, she recalled how her life has been till now... boring and meaningless.
A cliche life that had her parents dying mysteriously at 5, though she wished it'd have been a better cliche like being the overly spoiled princess, that would've been... eww. take that back, her life was much favorable now, imagine being a stuck up princess who'd have no idea she's stuck up. Sick! that's absolutely sick! she gagged mentally.
Ruffles in the bushes caught her attention causing her to stand abruptly.
"who's there?"
She broke a nearby branch for defense as she slowly approached her target with slight hesitation.
"please don't kill me I beg ya graceful self"
it was a tiny creature a very small man.
'now I'm seeing things' she muttered face palming herself as she turned to leave
"Hey did you just overlook my littleness, I swear if you weren't the chosen I'll rip ya in half and -"
" how about you shut the f**k up before I rip your tiny balls out"
she threatened as the creature shrunk into the leaves in fear.
She sighed. This was really loosing it.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the great Reginald Pembly the III " It was obvious his pride.
" well u don't look so great to me"
Nyx bent down looking it in the eye.
"oh well, not anymore (TT) back in the days, I was known as a great warrior, master to all and servant to none, then there was the great war. Athes the King of the wolves seeked out my help to turn the tides of the battles, but I was way over that... I declined. So the moon goddess cursed me, I would never be able to taste the satisfaction of battle, any battle I attempt would be a loss, to top that, she made me small... I couldn't pick up my sword ever again I was given a condition to turn back.... You! I'm to guide you into your destiny in order to bring back my full glory and... Hugh? "
He had been too focused on the story he didn't notice when she passed out from the whole news.
"oh well, I have my job cut out for me on this one"
Being small had his perks, he could flow with the wind, which is not exactly flying, more like levitating.
on getting to her home, he hit the door as hard as he could. and Avery opened, but found no one
"Nyx this games are not the best in this environment, Nyx? Nyx!!"
she rushed over to Nyx on the ground quickly scooping her and taking her back, totally oblivious of the little man tailing them.

"Thank goodness you're okay dear, you got me so scared there"
Nyx sat up, confusion written all over her face
" Avery "
" Yes?
" I had a strange dream"
