The tribunal's success should have made Nyx feel victorious. Instead, she felt watched.
It started with a small prickling sensation in the base of her skull during council meetings. Through their bond, she could tell he didn't feel it, which meant it was something different.
"You're distracted these days." Raziel said during a discussion.
"Just a headache. I'm fine."
But she wasn't fine. The sensation was getting stronger. One night, she woke up screaming.
Raziel jolted immediately.
"Nyx..what's wrong?"
"My head…" She pressed her both hands on the base of her skull, where the monitoring chip was implanted. "Something is wrong with the chip."
"The what?"
She'd never told him, had not told anyone in the beastworld about the monitoring device that was implanted in her.
"When I entered the beastworld, the research programmers planted a monitoring chip in my spine."
"Nyx, you have earth technology in your body?" Raziel was already out of bed. "Why didn't you tell me?"
