Domnio, Xina, Sxythe, Vandras, Chaos and Zira

The sound of claws clipping against the street signalled the arrival of an ally of the Shadow Lurkers. Chaos, One of the Midnight Hunters, Was bounding through the streets to find the Alphess Hydras. Him and His pack had found one of the Shadow Lurkers speaking of the packs plots to another who was not friend of the pack. Domnio and his pack had been wandering around looking for prey to hunt when they had spotted the wolfess. Chaos had done a bit of spying and they had soon found out the wolfess's tricks. They acted as soon as possible and that brings us up to the present.

Chaos had come to warn Hydras of the approaching group.

Domnio led the way with Zira enclosed with Sxythe and Vandras on each side and Xina bringing up the rear. They dragged her to the middle of the Alleys, and when Chaos returned, Domnio sent up a howl calling the Lurkers to them. He was sure they would have something to say about what he was about to tell them.

Sequioa

The female had been about to go speak with Hydras when she saw the wolves bring in Zira. A soft growl escaped her maw as she trotted forth. "Whats this about?" She snapped. She was high on the ranking list and was not in the best of moods at the moment.

Hydras, Skeil, & Pirqua

Pirqua sailed high over the group, flying a tight circle above them before landing on a nearby railing. She looked curiously to Zira, knowing something must be wrong.

Hydras and Skeil arrived at nearly the same time, as the pit bull had been on her way to the Den when she had heard the call. With her ruff expanded like a tri-colored mane around her long-muzzled face, the alphess stalked briskly past Sequoia and approached her allies. Hard, suspicious eyes fell on Zira before turning to Domnio. "What's the problem?"

Skeil took up position to the side of Hydras, standing slightly behind the alpha's front legs. Though her head was high, she was short in stature and not one for quarreling over status. Quietly, she watched and waited for the news to unfold.

Domnio, Zira, Satan and Vitani

Domnio bobbed his head in respect to the Alphess before speaking witha sharp glance at Zira.
We found her speaking of your plans to another who you have branded enemy. In other words, She has betrayed your trust. We caught her and brought her here. I'll let you take it from here Hydras.
The wolf stepped back to reveal the cowering wolfess, surrounded by a wall of teeth and claws.

Zira was almost lying on the ground. Not only was she low in rank, but the wolfess was also rather scared and shaken, but she wasnt one to take things lying down. Although she was low, the wolfess's gaze had travelled up towards the Alphess's chest so she could see the reaction of Hydras without looking directly at her.
I...I...I... She stuttered but soon fell silent to see what Hydras would make of all this.

Satan had locked eyes with Risen and a stand off was in place. Fangs were bared and neck was tucked as the wolfess refused to back down. As soon as Sequioa came upon the scene, he automatically dropped his posture but a little, to make it level with Risens.
Im afraid you cannot make your advances Risen. I will not allow it. His eyes never failed to break contact with Risens and a low harsh growl started in the back of his throat. But soon the growling was sliced by a howl calling all to it. Satan smirked. Looks like this little contest is over Risen. Me first. The wolf turned and began on his way towards Chaos and the others. Being bigger than Risen did have its advantages in the time it took to get where he needed to be. He was reasonably fast paced, but was more muscularly built for the fighting side of pack-life. Arriving on the scene, Satans posture represented his place in the pack as he approached them all. He moved to stand just behind Skeil. His eyes narrowed when he saw the object of the gathering, Zira had obviously done something. He caught Domnios explaination and immidately his eyes widened and flew to Hydras. This would not be good. A glare soon formed within them as he looked to Zira.
You foul waste of life...You have betrayed our trust...
Fangs were bared and a soft but harsh growl started in the back of the wolfs throat.

Vitani soon joined the fray behind Satan.

Hydras, Skeil, & Pirqua

A deep, rumbling growl rose in the alpha's throat as she heard this news. It stirred old memories, especially of a wolf named Rage. One she had personally trusted and let into the pack, only to be betrayed by him and drawn into a brief but bloody war. Now a very tough choice rested on her shoulders; should she show leniency to this one-time pack member, and spare her life? Or kill her now and show all what the cost of treason was? It was a hard choice, butZira would only be a danger to her pack if allowed to leave. She could speak on their plans more and gather enemies, as others had done in the past.

Hydras stepped in front of Zira, fangs glistening and eyes narrowed as she looked into the other's eyes, "Not only have you lied and decieved us, you've put us all in great danger. Given out our secrets and risked our safety, for what? I don't even want to know. I won't stand for betrayal, not again. Treason has a high price in this pack; death. Death by the fangs of those that you've turned your back on." The alphess glanced briefly to her allies and pack members, signalling them to join in on this execution.

Skeil took a deep breath, feeling a bit of dread. But this was how things went, and burning behind the brief dread was immense anger and hurt for what Zira had done. Loyalty was one of the most important principles of the Lurkers pack, and here it had been broken. With Hydras' signal, the pit bull came forward at a quick run, bristling and snarling. Heavy-set jaws aimed to clamp down on Zira's own muzzle, hopefully to prevent her from biting anyone.

Hydras moved at the same moment, going for the traitor's throat.

Pirqua took to the sky, wheeling low over the pack. Her dark eyes glared darkly down upon the scene, watching to see the betrayer's blood be spilled.

Domnio, Zira, Satan and Vitani

The midnight hunters all moved away from the execution. This way the Shadow Lurkers business.

Satan, On Hydras's mark, Launched himself at Zira. His fangs glistening, claws slamming into ziras back. He pinned her down and his jaws closed around the back of her neck, trying to shatter her spinal cord.

Vitani watched in horror as her mother was attacked. She was angry and knew that betrayal was not good, but to see her own mother slain in front of her.... She stepped back and clamped her eyes shut. She could kill and enemy but to see family being killed...it was horrible. Mo< Zira barely ahd time to react to Hydras. Beofre she could draw breath Skeil's jaws had clamped over her muzzle, suffocating the wolfess. Her eyes widened and she bagn to thrash her head around, unable to open her mouth. Soon Hydras's jaws met their mark on Ziras throat. She couldnt breathe and blood was spurting out of the marks where Hydras's fangs penetrated the skin. Satans fangs closed across the back of her neck. Hydras's fangs slitted the life vein just as her spinal cord gave way. She stopped breathing and her eyes lost their light. Her body went limp and slumped to the floor. She was dead.

Suki

The female bounded through the Alleys, following the scent of her Alphess. Aaka was in trouble. When she spotted the Alpha she called out to her.
Hydras! Aaka is...
She paused when she realised what had happened. However she didnt ask, not yet anyway.
One of Aaka and Legosa's pups just came to the Aegis Den. Aaka is in trouble, Her and Legosa's pack are fighting with someone and they need help. Kuro has already gone with the pup, I came to notify you.

Risen .+. Fallen

In the back, Risen had watched the slaughter. Her mind now was growing gradually oil black. Power was the only thing she could think of, and to her, this pack was not powerful enough. There was too much emotion, emotion that was absent in her. After hearing that Aaka's pack was in trouble, she turned and left. She needed to find herself... for in her sight, there was one path, and it wasn't here.

Fallen watched the execution but could not take part in it. She lowered her head in respect for the death, though knowing traitors never were respected.. It was the respect that she didn't have a chance of saving herself. Red eyes looked up to watch her daughter leave... The previous fued with Satan made her worry about how her daughter was growing up to be. The wolfess was not only heartless, and emotionless, but very very power hungry. She started to think that Risen was surpassing her own father's evil.

Hydras, Skeil, & Pirqua

Hydras looked down at the still form of the newly killed Zira, her mind racing with questioned. Before she had time to adress the pack, Suki arrived with alarming news. For as grand of an ally as she was, Aaka and her pack seemed to stir up an awful lot of trouble with others. But, what good was a war-pack's title, if there weren't any wars to fight in?

"Thank you, Suki. We'd better investigate." The alphess turned to her allies next, "And thank you for turning in an enemy." Now it was time to deal with a new problem. Flagging her tail in the air, she headed for the Aegis Den. But not before noticing a certain wolfess slipping away into the darkness.

Skeil and Pirqua were quick on their leader's heels, ready to do whatever was needed.
