Chapter 2

My brother will be sent to the capital today. He won't be back for weeks no months, or years. I wish him luck in the battlefield and for him to come home safe and sound, but luck can backstab you anytime.

It was the day of my birthday party that I heard from my father that my brother was captured by those humans. "Why!" I yelled as I collapsed on the floor, "why didn't you let me go! You knew Nyx conditions was getting worse! Why couldn't you just let me go!" As I yelled my brother Raven tried to help me up. "Let go!" I pushed him away, "I should've went! Even if I was a woman!" Tears ran down my face as my brother Raven hugged me as I cried.

"No, I should've went, I was older and more stronger, I should've went." Raven said with a cold tone.

"No! You can't go! You're the heir to the tribe, if we lose you, we lose an heir!" My father shouted.

"Lose me? Are you so sure I'll die easily in a war father?" Raven growled as he glared at father.

"No, of course not, but what I'm saying is, if you do die in the war you'll be leaving your mate and cub," father said with worried eyes. "Look," father sighed, "I know I shouldn't have sent Nyx and I'm sorry about that, but he was the only option I had."

Father is right, brother Nyx was the only option because I'm a woman and brother Raven has a cub, and if he dies no one will be able to protect his mate and cub from other ware cats. "Father, when will Nyx be rescued?" I asked quietly.

"His majesty is working on that, but I do not know how long," He said. I hope they hurry it up, but it took 2 years to rescue him. When brother returned he looked nothing like the Nyx I remembered. His beautiful purple eyes no longer looked beautiful. His long dark purple hair was cut short, and his old pendant that was hanging off his side bangs were no longer there. He had bandages all over his body, and he smelled of medicine and blood. What could've happened to Nyx? My question was answered when father had told me everything. Apparently humans were capturing creatures like us to do experimental things on them, and brother was one of them. That night I couldn't help but cry, my little brother that used to happy was now gone! I didn't visit my brother for months not until grandpa came. He told father he knew how to help Nyx. Everyone believed him, even I, after all he's the only hope to get Nyx back to us.
