I drag the hybrid's body, my mind full of unanswered questions. I couldn't help thinking of the last two hybrids that attacked me and wondering whether these two incidents were somehow related.

"What do you think?" I ask Nyx, not caring if the man I was dragging got hurt or not.

He doesn't really deserve any kind of care. Anyone who is against me is an enemy and I refuse to show any kind of mercy to my enemies.

"Honestly, I don't know," she answers, her voice sounding a bit lost. "The way he attacked us doesn't seem as planned as the last attack."

I kept quiet while my mind wandered to that day. She's right. The other two hybrids seemed to have been following me since I arrived in the small town. They waited for the perfect time to attack.

Nyx continues, pulling my focus back. "If really he was after you, he would have attacked while you were out. You were more vulnerable with Aspen with you and an attack then might have been easier since you would have been more focused on protecting our daughter."

Now that she put it that way, it made sense. Why would he try and attack me here in the pack where there were thousands of wolves?

Sure, hybrids are strong, but one against hundreds of warriors? He wouldn't have survived.

"So, he just happened to be passing through? And we happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time?"

Nyx scoffs before saying, "We caught him, so it's more like the right place at the right time."

"You wanted to kill him," I remind her.

"And you stopped me, so that's a win." She stays quiet after that, choosing to close her eyes and take a nap.

One thing bothered me though. He was in pack land; how did he manage to sneak into Alec's pack with no one noticing?
