"It must be a witch," spoke Laxus as he finished locking all the doors and activated the anti-magic defenses that they had installed to protect their pack against the witches. He walked past Nyx, who looked a bit troubled while supporting her mother, and said to her, "You should sit down." Knowing what horrors they had gone through at the hands of witches, Laxus understood her.
Nyx nodded as she helped her mother onto the couch and then said to the rest of the pack, "Witches have been known for using such methods for a long time. They use spells to mimic the cries for help of a pack member when they want to separate a pack. This is a really old trick in their books because they know that no shifter, especially an alpha, would abandon their pack member."
