Laws of the Wolf
Chapter 2: Punishment
Warnings: Enishi gets what he deserves part two
Disclaimer: I don’t own diddly squat!!!
It had took sometime but the council had finally come to a decision after seeing and
hearing the affects Enishi had on lives of the wolves he had come to rule over. Kenshin
was amazed by how different this pack was to the same pack he had run with not many
years ago: the females were scared of their own mates as they kept the males away from
their own young, the elders where no longer alive to maintain order, the young males
looked as if they wanted to jump any female that came within leaping distance this was
not a pack of noble lycan, this was a pack of wild animals. The only reasonable creature
among them was a small female named Misoa apparently she had been a friend of
Kaoru’s. Misoa said that she had helped distract Enishi long enough for Kaoru to escape
during the blue moon and Misoa had been keeping her head down ever since. Dispite the
already visible evidence against Enishi it was Misoa’s testimony that had brought the
council to their final decision. After moving Misoa away to a secluded place she spoke of
everything that had occurred in the past week.
“I don’t know where to begin, “ the small green eyed female stated. “I guess you already
know about how Enishi trapped Kaoru’s father into a death match.” She looked up and
the elder beside her nodded for her to continue. “He was looking at Kaoru, Kaoru and I
made sure to avoid him but there were times when we couldn’t. He had tried to force
Kaoru into the mating ritual by using his alpha tone but Kaoru’s ties had been severed
from the pack the night Koshijiro died. Enishi tried other things but Kaoru was to quick
for him, during the ceremony of the blue moon she did the only thing she could do, she
ran.” Misoa started to cry as she finished the end of her sentence. “Everything became
worse, the younger males became more aggressive, one night Enishi had claimed that he
was hungry and did not feel like hunting so he pick up one of the pups and…and…”
Misoa started to sob uncontrollably, the elders beside her rubbed her back and shoulder
soothingly rubbing her hair was out of the question because it was in a braid that was so
long that the ends touched the floor. After awhile Misoa had finally composed herself
enough to finish her sentence. “he killed, cooked, and ate the pup. The younger males
followed suite, we lost four pups and two elders that night.” Everyone had gone quiet, as
the reality of her statement hit, that was why the females were protecting their young, that
was why the elders where missing, and that was why the males were acting so
aggressively. Enishi had brought turmoil, death, and destruction into a pack after only a
week and a few days, if that. It was almost as if Enishi was a ghost from the dark times
coming back to haunt them. “Please don’t leave me here, I don’t want to stay with these
animals any longer.” The small female begged looking into the eyes of the elder who was
still rubbing her back.
“I am not sure if we have room in our pack home for you, little one.” The elder said
honestly.
“They may not but I do, I have plenty of room in my packs home, that I do.” Kenshin said
with a sincere smile. “ You may come to live in my pack if you like?”
“Oh thank you so much!!” The little females eyes had dried almost instantly as she
jumped up and hugged Kenshin along with every other alpha and elder in the secluded cave.

It was time, the punishment had been decided, and now Enishi must pay for his crimes
against Koshijiro and against all of lycan kind. Though he would not be the only one
punished this night every male that had supported Enishi would be punished as well, it
was clear that the females were not supportive of Enishi and his group. Most of the
females still huddled together protecting the young from any more cannibalistic acts
while their mates stood guard close beside them. Just out of reach for the male guards had
to be Enishi’s supporters, Misoa clarified who they were and they were soon linked in
iron chains to be punished along with Enishi. The rest of the pack followed to witness for
themselves the punishment of the ones that had done such terrible deeds.
Misoa followed closely behind Kenshin and his elders feeling safer with the distance,
between herself and her old pack. Once the group made it to the clearing Kenshin
mentally commanded Sano and Aoshi to take Misoa with them back to campground
where his pack was staying.
“Go with them, they will keep you safe, that they will.” Kenshin spoke gently to Misoa as
his two companions appeared. “Keep her safe she has been through a terrible ordeal, that
she has.” Aoshi nodded while Sano gave a mock salute.
“Ia., Ia., sir.” Sano held out his arm for Misoa to take it. “Don’t worry girly we will keep
you safe.” He told Misoa as he offered her a gentle smile.

Kenshin took his place among the alphas in the clearing after he watched his friends
leave. It was time, Enishi would be first to receive the punishment, his eight followers
coward knowing that they would be next. Hiko stood up and the other alpha followed
suite. Kenshin focus was so great on Enishi that he could hardly hear Hiko’s declaration
of the laws that had been broken.
“You, Enishi, have broken the laws that had been set down by the alpha’s before us long
ago. You have killed an alpha to obtain his position and power. You are also responsible
for the death of four pups and two elders. And will now be punished for doing so.”
“What is to be my punishment? Who will punish me?” Enishi asked a grin on his face. “I
will not accept a punishment unless it is from the female Kaoru, a punishment from her
would be worth having.”
“You will never see Kaoru again, that you will not.” Kenshin growled his body visibly
quacking from the rage he was holding back. “We will be the ones to punish you, that we
will, and your punishment will be much worse than death, you will be stripped of you
power and title. You and your followers are to be exiled. If you or any wolf that supported
you come into lycan territory, or into contact with any of our packs you or who ever it is
will be killed without question.” Kenshin looked at Saitoh and nodded his head it was an
apology but it was also a sign to let the punishment begin.
Without another word Saitoh raised his arm shoulder high with the palm of his hand
facing Enishi. The other four alpha’s followed suite and spoke words in a language Enishi
could not understand. He felt something being painfully ripped and pulled from his body,
a deep green light flowed from his body and into the open palms of the four alphas. He
panicked as he realized what was happening, they were taking away his power and his
personal magic. The magic he had been born with was being stripped away from his
body!
Enishi fell forward as the last of his magic was drained from his body, the feeling of
being incomplete and lost consumed him. The last of the green light, his light,
disappeared into the palms of the remaining alphas. Enishi felt his body convulse as he
vomited from the pain that had consumed his body, he then fainted.
Enishi was awakened by a cold bucket of water being splashed on his face. He was not
even aware of the witnesses that had come to see his demise or the other alphas that
where in the circle the only two he could think about was Kaoru and the red haired alpha
named Kenshin. He would get his revenge, no matter how long it took he would get his
revenge. His attention was diverted to tall skinny alpha with a cigarette in his hands.
“Enishi, you will now be sent into exile, according to law you have three days to leave
lycan territory. Now go, and never come back under penalty of death.”
