There was no room for question or doubt in this world. Kai was a subordinate, and he knew his place as certainly as he knew he might not survive this winter. He had seen cowardice and he had seen weakness in those who had led above him. He could not allow such things to stand. The reason he did not question and did not think to do so was apparent—he saw a man before him stronger and more powerful then any he had seen before. His place was not to lead, it was to follow, and he would follow with the blind devotion of every ancestor before him who had found an alpha and made them their king.

Slowly, Kai’s muscles flexed and his stomach lifted from the ground. He felt different, suddenly, as if he had been reborn. There was nothing to suggest this, but he knew, certainly, that the world was changing. His blue eyes shifted, turning to face the man before him. They did not rise beyond his face, focusing instead on those terrible teeth that showed themselves now and again as if an ocean was fighting to reveal itself. Shifting his weight and inhaling the cold air, Kai nodded firmly once. “My name is Kai. I will do as you order, sir.” This seemed to please Haku, whom turned from him without a word and left, continuing along the borders. Kai sucked in air through his nose, opened his mouth, and smiled.

He would kill, and he would do so willingly. Whatever it took to make himself great.
