My chest tightened. They'd all already been suspicious. Nyx stepped forward, her expression calm. "That's enough, Ria," she said firmly. Ria tried to get a word in but Nyx wasn't having it. "I said that's enough!" She commanded with a raise of her hands, her eyes flashing with anger. The hairs at the back of my neck stood at the blazing look in her eyes. She was being defensive of Grayson. Had she also known? Ria's anger skyrocketed at the harshness of Nyx's tone. "Don't fucking yell at me!" She screamed back, her face twisted in rage. "Rather yell at your so-called Alpha who's sex-starved for human pussy!" she spat, her words dripping with venom.

She would seem plain, and maybe even like a runt, nothing special. Niiya’s wolf was a standard size. Dark brown, with tan and white markings, a tri-colour wolf. Niyya had also not found her mate yet. But unlike me, she was very confident in her sexuality, and would entertain that if she found a guy who felt a mutual attraction.

The creature limped out from behind one of the cages, favoring its left front leg. Kael's breath caught. He knew this wolf. The intelligence reports had mentioned it: *Subject keeps a companion animal, origin unknown. Small black wolf, unusually intelligent. Dispose of it with the girl.* Lyra stirred in his arms, her eyes opening. "Nyx," she breathed. "Don't... don't hurt her. Please." The small wolf—Nyx—limped closer, her silver eyes fixed on Lyra with obvious concern. When she reached them, she sat and looked up at Kael with an expression that was far too knowing for a simple animal.

“Zuzu, go to Dad now and tell him I’m teleporting Vaheed to the vaulted dungeon, and have Marlena wait there.” While Zuzu whistled and vanished into thin air, Nyx raised his tuft tail and curved the tip in Vaheed’s direction. Battle-ready, he stood sideways between me and my guardian. Nyx splayed the tuft on his tail into fine white neon lines, his orbs electrified. His strong forelegs lowered his body to prowl at his prey while his rear was raised.

She looks down at the name tag, blushing even more fiercely. Chapter 1.21 Barking Spiders, Xoxo Nyx

But I wasn’t done yet. I stepped forward, my gaze never leaving Cassandra’s face, “Is that so?” My voice was even, deceptively casual. “Strange. Because I’ve seen that exact same shade under someone else’s nails before. And it wasn’t powder then, either, it was more on the road of you know… Poison. Smells the same as well.” I shrugged, “But if you say it is, then it is powder. My name is Nyx, it's so nice to finally meet you after hearing so much about you, Cassandra.”

“It’s not an enemy. Not anymore.” Kane had already turned, hand on his blade, but Lyra stilled him with a touch. She knew that voice. Nyxar stepped into the lantern light slowly, arms folded behind his back, not cloaked in power for once - but still undeniably other. His silver tattoos glowed faintly along his collarbone and wrists. “I wasn’t eavesdropping,” he said mildly, “I simply enjoy dramatic entrances.” Kane growled under his breath. Lyra arched a brow. “But you heard.”

Seeing the flicker of guilt in Alexander's expression, Nyla said, "If you really feel sorry for Buddy and me, promise me one thing." "What is it?" Alexander asked. "If I ever ask for your help after going to Meristate, you have to help me no matter what," Nyla said. Alexander smiled. "You might find that once you become the Nixons' successor, I'll be the one asking you for help." "So, is that a no?" Nyla asked.
