The next morning, we set off toward the Nyx pack settlement. The group consisted of me, Roran, Kaelen, my mother, the warchief, the chief of the guardians, the caregiving chief, and the hunter chief. There were also a few other unnamed werewolves that followed us for protection.
All of us traveled north into the mountains where the Nyx pack lived. As we walked, I couldn't help but notice a bit of tension in the air, so I decided to question Nyra, who was sweating a lot.
"Why does everyone seem so tense?" I asked.
"Hmm? Didn't I tell you?" She said, placing her index finger on her lips and give an innocent smile. "You see, one of the reasons why the Nyx pack hasn't been able to get to us was because of a monster that settled on a strip of land just outside our territory."
"A monster?" It was the first I've heard of it. "What kind?"
"It's a yokai."
