Gayle couldn't believe his own eyes. He was stunned speechless. Before him was the dead bodies of the intruders, at least, there were nine of them and Zuri killed seven of them, while The managed killing only two.
He was the warrior, he received a harsh training and even so, there was no way he could kill them all when he was greatly outnumbered, yet Zuri managed to do that. She was very fast and deathly, her every attack was lethal.
Gayle didn't know what to say. He stared at Zuri, whose body bathed in blood. She looked... scary, especially with that smirk on her lips, as if she enjoyed the killing.
She did enjoy the killing. It relieved so tension and shut the voices in her head that kept telling her to do sothing more horrendous than this.
"I think... we need to return to the pack house..." Gayle said carefully, he didn't want to be the next victim, whose blood spilled on the cold ground tonight.
"No. I am going to find Khaos... He is in danger." Zuri then mumbled sothing under her breathe, but Gayle didn't know what she was saying. It was sothing about 'I have to go...' or 'This is not right... need to save him...'
Zuri kept tapping her feet on the ground before she shifted into her beast form and dashed away. Gayle was on alert, he imdiately shifted into his beast too, but Zuri was too fast and her beast black color blended with the night perfectly.
Soon enough, Gayle lost her. He tried to look for her everywhere in this wood, but the snow making it hard to find her.
In his dire situation, Gayle decided to return to the pack house and inform the other warriors about what happened, he hoped the alpha or the gamma were there. They had been lost in contact with the two of them and they couldn't reach them through mindlink either.
However, when he arrived at the pack house, there was another commotion there.
"What's going on here?" Gayle asked one of the warriors, who relayed everything that happened.
Apparently, there were a few intruders, who entered the pack house and killed their warriors, who stood on guard, but the shocking part was...
"They took Silas away after that they left."
"They took Silas?"
"Yes."
The intruders did not co to take Silas's life, but instead they took him away, which ant, they wanted him alive.
Who would be behind this?

"How is the king treating you?" Rose asked Nycta. She just arrived a few days ago and she was here to check on her sister.
"He is so great with ," Nycta replied, she blushed, but there was this image of Killian that tainted that. She then internally shook her head to get rid of that image.
It was so hard to act normal when Killian was around. Right now, the warrior was literally only a few steps away from her.
Nycta had asked Dacre to change the warrior, but the king didn't agree because it would only raise a suspicion. She knew that too, but despite she had accepted this weird arrangent in order for her to get pregnant, she was still unable to detach herself from the image of that night.
She couldn't act as if nothing never happened between the three of them, while the king and Killian could do it with ease. Probably, she was the odd one...
"Why are you dazing off," Rose stated. "Is there sothing bothering you?"
"No." Nycta shook her head. "I am happy to be in this palace," she said.
"Don't you miss our holand?" Rose teased her, she looked beautiful in her yellow dress. She was always beautiful, but of course, no one could beat Rira in beauty aspect. Their first sister, the late queen, always had sothing in her, as if she carried herself very differently.
But now she was gone, Rose was the fresh flower from their kingdom, unfortunately, she was not being picked by the king because of her age and right now, she was here to find a chosen mate for her, soone, who could match her status.
"Of course. Our kingdom is always in my heart," Nycta said with a smile, as she recalled their ti together when they were younger, when there were only the four of them, playing around in the garden without caring to the world and their duty as princesses.
After that, they talked a little bit more until the king ca to pick his mate to spend the night together in his palace.
"Thank you for accompanying my queen. You are always welco in Celeste Kingdom," Dacre said, as he put his hand around Nycta's waist possessively.
"Thank you for your kindness, king Dacre." It didn't go unnoticed by Rose of how the king
touched Nycta.
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
"I will."

When Khaos returned to the pack house, it was already early in the morning, though the sun had not risen yet, you could see the sky was a little bit brighter, the snow had stopped too.
However, another storm hit the pack when the alpha learned about what happened last night.
"I think it's Red Beast, I recognized one of them," Caiden said, as he inspected the dead bodies that laid on the floor.
Gayle then approached Khaos to tell him what happened with Zuri. "I have sent three warriors
to look for her, but they couldn't find her in the wood."
"You lost her?" Rhett was not happy to hear that.
"Which wood?" Khaos asked. He was not sure how to feel about this, but for Zuri to be the
shell, it answered a few questions and justified his need to have her within his sight. She was the key for their long life plan.
Gayle then told them about it and without a second thought, Khaos and Rhett imdiately shifted into their beasts to look for her.
