Once upon a time-4

(In the room of Keir Allen Walker, 5 years ago when he was 23 years old)

(The Clan house of Night Walker clan, Verena City)

“Damn! What a long day it was!”

Keir just threw his exhausted body on his king-size bed after a long day of hard work. Through his open window, he could see the reddish sky and the horizon where a red fireball was wishing its goodbye for that day.

The flocks of birds were returning back to their nests and the dense starfall forest was looking so mysterious and solitary at the reddening hue of the twilight. From afar, Keir could see the peak of the hill that was separating the Lycan and Werewolf kingdom.

Suddenly, his heart twitched with a longing, recalling about that golden she-wolf which he saw last night. After that incident, he couldn’t sleep even a wink; the whole night, he was thinking about her.

While tossing and turning on his bed, he spent the night frustrated and tormented. His Lycan was growling impatiently, demanding to meet her. That intoxicating scent was still lingering in his mind as he groaned sleepily, ‘Who the hell was that? If I meet her again, I am gonna drag her here and keep her here until I am satisfied. Should I start-’

‘Knock! Knock!’

Closing his eyes, he almost fell asleep when a faint knock at the door woke him up. In an annoyed tone, he asked harshly, “Get lost. I am not meeting anyone right now.”

From the opposite side of the door, a jovial voice answered promptly, “Brother, I am coming in.”

“Ky! What are you doing here?” Keir asked sleepily.

Kyrell walked in and he dropped next to Keir as he replied, “We will leave for Auryn City tonight. Father has asked you to meet him before leaving.”

His voice held a rasp of excitement. His yellow eyes were brilliantly intelligent, gleamed like glossy volcanic rocks. Kyrall was only 21 years old; yet he was already a great warrior who used to be the part of all the secret missions along with Keir.

The pair of Keir and Kyrall were one of the strengths of the Night Walker Clan. Those two young Lycans were scared by the majority and were summoned as the ‘Dark pair’, ‘Chaotic brothers’ and ‘Night’s weapons’. 

Keir opened his eyes with an irritated expression as he asked, “Auryn City? Why? I don’t want to go to the land of those low lives.”

Kyrell shrugged his shoulders and explained, “Father wants us to investigate the matter of 'slave trafficking’ personally. The number of illegal werewolf slaves is increasing with every passing day. If it continues, it will disrupt the peace between both lands and will be the main reason for a deadly battle in future.”

“So? We will win anyway,”Keir claimed arrogantly.

Kyrell chuckled softly while answering, “Of course, we will have to rule over those lowly wolves then. I don’t think that you will like it.”

“Never!” Keir protested promptly. 

While laughing, Kyrell shrugged his shoulders, “See, I knew it. So, it is better to investigate this matter before it's too late. I will arrange everything for the mission. You don’t forget to meet Father.”

“Ugh! What a pain!’

Closing his eyes, Keir complained in a vague voice, before almost falling asleep, “Do I really have to go to Auryn? I just hate that city and those stinky wolves.”

Kyrell already got up from the bed. While walking towards the door, he assured in his excited tone, “Well, I heard that a grand rebirth party is happening tonight. I don’t think that it will be that boring for us.”

“Rebirth party!”

Keir murmured in his sleepy voice and suddenly he opened his eyes widely, realising something, “Will she be there? At that party?”
