Rex spreads his eyes open when he realized that as it turns out, a third party was involved.
During his time when he was still inside the human territory, Rex came across an entity called the Witch of Chaos that was said to be able to help him get rid of the Eternal Curse that bound him with Caldiora for good.
It was Jarvald that introduces him to this Witch of Chaos, and she wanted Rurvi in exchange.
Jarvald briefly mentioned to him that the Witch of Chaos is a title that dated back to ancient times when the ancient humans are still at their very peak, the Witch of Chaos is an anomaly and was said to be given power through something called The Cursed Grimoire of Mary.
The Witch of Chaos evokes cursed phenomena and is thus banished from every human estate.
Myriads of saturated cursed disasters would eventually befall the place she resides in, and because of that, she was forced to live in solitude and evoke frowns from the ancient humans and also other Supernatural races.
Despite playing an important role against Supernatural races, she was still banished in the end.
Nothing would come close to her and is always avoided like a plague out of fear for the curses inside her that would hurt and damned anyone around her, it's a perpetual fate that is trusted to the successor of the Witch of Chaos.
On top of knowing that, Rex also had met with the Witch of Chaos although indirectly.
As he managed to capture Rurvi the Evil One and brought it to the Witch of Chaos in exchange for her to see whether she can get rid of the Eternal Curse, he was inspected by the notorious Witch of Chaos herself but in a form of a shadowy figure.
It was clear to Rex that the Witch of Chaos has an agenda of her own, hailing that she wants Rurvi.
But it doesn't involves him so he doesn't mind, everyone ultimately wants something in their lives and there's nothing wrong with the Witch of Chaos wanting something too. After all, she fulfilled her end of the deal and gave her opinion on the Eternal Curse.
Now that it has come to this, the mentioning of a skull creature makes Rex remember something.
During his first time entering Rurvi's lair, he encountered ancient drawings, he doesn't know what it is before and it was also expensive to decipher the drawings through the system. In the end, he only knows that the drawings involve Rurvi.
At the very top of the drawings, there was a woman holding two chains leashing two creatures.
Each creature looks abnormal as they are gigantic and monstrous in comparison to the woman at the very top, they are definitely strong creatures. One is shaped like an insectoid creature while the other is a hooded figure holding a scythe.
Looking back now, the ancient drawings must be the agenda of the Witch of Chaos.
Since the Witch of Chaos expressed her desire for Rurvi which lies in the heart of the human territory which was hard for her to reach. Rex now suspects that the drawing of a woman is the Witch of Chaos, and she's pursuing the eight creatures at the bottom of the drawings that involve Rurvi.
Gistella describes one of the Witch of Chaos' pets, the hooded creature carrying a scythe.
It was also only now that Rex realized that he probably had met the other pet that had taken the shape of an insectoid creature, that creature helped him fight the demons in Beah City for some reason. But he now understands that there's probably a reason why it was there.
Under the gaze of both Qonvale and Gistella, Rex stood up with a grim expression.
Out of nowhere the aura of an Alpha started to cover his entire body, it was like his body is boiling and the air trembled because of it. It doesn't take long before the door slammed open, Adhara, Flunra, and Evelyn walked inside with visible concern on their faces.
Due to the nature of the aura coming from Rex, only his pack members can feel it clearly.
From the looks of it, Rex intended for them to come into Gistella's chamber. Something must've happened to feel the coursing electricity in the air, choking the entire room with immense tension that is coming solely from their Alpha.
Each of them fixed their eyes on Rex which seems to emanate a threatening aura.
Slowly looking over his shoulders, a glint of bloodthirst can be seen inside his eyes that scare the others. Despite he was clearly straining his body judging from the blood that drizzles down the corner of his mouth, Rex kept his bearing fiercely.
"Flunra..." he said with a rasping tone. "Tell me about the cursed creature that asked for Gistella"
Upon hearing Flunra thought for a second as he recounted the cursed creature that came while the Ice and Snow Full Moon was affecting the pack and Rex is doing his first ascension trial, his pupils then flickered realizing that it must have something to do with Dealkandrax.
"It was one of the Siblings of Chaos, empowered by the Curse of Destruction, Dealkandrax. It asked for the curse inside of Gistella, but it requires to bring Gistella away so I didn't allow it and fought Dealkandrax until it escaped"
Boom!
Rex's aura exploded once more responding to the soaring anger swelling inside of him, his eyes were filled with murderous intent as his suspicion was slowly confirmed by Flunra's answer. "Just tell us what's going on, Rex!" Evelyn exclaimed, she doesn't understand the sudden situation at all.
Everything was fine a moment ago, but then this happened.
"When did this cursed creature, Dealkandrax come...?" Rex asked again with a grimmer tone.
For a moment there Flunra was pressured as he know that for some reason his answer would insinuate the Alpha's anger, but under the intense gaze, he can do nothing but obey the oppressing force coming from the Alpha.
"It visited the castle not long after me and Kyran brought back Evelyn" Flunra eventually replied.
Like a barrel of oil poured over a burning fire, these words turned Rex's anger into a soaring flame that is rampaging inside of him. But despite the anger that was caused by his suspicion of the fact that Giana was right, Kyran was not taken by the humans but by the Witch of Chaos instead, he kept his composure.
Even though he really wanted to explode, he can't do that or he'll expose the castle's location.
Due to his newfound disdain for humankind and Giana, in particular, which had led to his parent's death, he was intensely focused on humans and becomes unable to expect the possibility of a third party being involved. If it were not for Giana telling him the possibility, he would probably remain oblivious to this.
Slowly the pieces started to form together, and each one of them points at the Witch of Chaos.
Rex clenched his fist so hard that he started bleeding from it, his entire body was trembling as the blood vessels in his eyes exploded from the vicious pulse caused by the immense anger that he is trying to hold on to and make his eyes turn red naturally.
'What did the Witch of Chaos do...?' Flunra asked inside his head, thinking about the matter.
Although he had known the full extent of the Witch of Chaos' powers, he doesn't think that she can do any harm to the Silverstar Pack with Rex as the Alpha. On top of that, it seems to Flunra that she was just awakened.
Judging from Dealkandrax's power, it was not as strong as he remembered during ancient times.
Even though it's weird that Dealkandrax came back and asked for a specific curse inside Gistella's body since it can just harvest other curses out there that can match the one inside of Gistella, he doesn't think much of it thinking that it probably wants the curse because it's strong.
A ninth-rank epiphany natural curse, it's very strong for a curse alright.
But there's nothing that he could think of that the Witch of Chaos could do to make Rex this angry, 'The Alpha rarely becomes angry thanks to his insane self-control and authority over his bloodline, the only time he's this angry is when his parents died and when...'
Upon realizing the other instance that can make Rex angry, Flunra widened his eyes in surprise.
"How is this possible, when did she do that...?!" Flunra exclaimed in utter shock.
Adhara and Evelyn were completely at a loss, they were the only ones that don't understand the situation. But it doesn't take long before they slowly also piece it together, and realized the fact that can make Rex this angry.
While still wearing a murderous look, Rex uttered softly, "Kyran was not kidnapped by the humans"
Rex's declaration came as a shock for everyone inside the room, Flunra in particular as he can't quite anticipate when the Witch of Chaos was able to snatch Kyran. It was very unexpected, and he blames himself for not realizing it sooner.
"Giana told me that Kyran was allowed to leave, and that is probably when he was kidnapped..."
Most of them were utterly speechless as they doesn't know how to react to this. It was more than just Kyran being kidnapped, this misunderstanding caused Rex to unleash the Executor out of his seal and rain terror on the whole entire world.
It was a misunderstanding that could've been avoided, but nobody realizes it until now.
Now everyone realizes that Kyran was probably kidnapped when Flunra declined to offer Gistella to Dealkandrax. Since the humans let Kyran go, he must've encountered Dealkandrax and was kidnapped then which causes this misunderstanding.

Rex keeps his face down as he turns around and walks past the others, storming out of the room.
"Wait, Rex! You're still hurt!" Evelyn shouted from the back, chasing after him.
Out of the others, Adhara also chased after him fearing that he would do something reckless in this dire time when the threat from the Executor is looming around them. It's a big deal, but they need to stay level-headed and not do anything rash.
Flunra stands on his feet with shock in his eyes, he was completely at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Rex traverses through the hallway with wide strides as he heads to the great hall. Evelyn and Adahra are behind him, trying to reason with him. 'I know that I need to stay calm, but I can't hold it in...' he thought with a fierce glint.
Despite knowing his responsibility, he needs to let it out or he'll explode right here and now.
Not stopping at the great hall, Rex went out of the castle and walks across the bridge under the group of Supernaturals' eyes. Each one of them was terrified by the bearing that is coming out of Rex's body right now.
Going up to the walls, Rex jumped and landed in the middle of the open field.
Sunlight that has already turned golden bathe his entire presence as he glared at the surroundings, his eyes are more vicious than ever depicting the anger inside of him clearly. "WITCH OF CHAOS!!" He shouted, glaring at the treelines of the Humming Damned Forest.
Even though he can't sense it, he knows Dealkandrax is hiding in the forest's shadows.
Pointing at every crevice of darkness that meet his eyes in the surrounding area, Rex's eyes glowed red the anger inside of him peaked. It's bad enough that the Executor used him, but it's even worse for using those close to him instead of himself.
Being taken advantage of himself is tolerated, but not to those dear to him, not to his pack.
Rex then shouted out his anger, his voice is thunderous and booming with rage. "You've made a mistake to make me an enemy! No matter what corner of the world you are hiding in, know that if you even so much as touch Kyran's hair, I will make sure that it's going to be the worst mistake of your life!"
Adhara and Evelyn watched from the back with wide eyes, they were petrified.
"I'll obliterate the entirety of your power from existence that there won't be any Witch of Chaos after you. Mark my words, if you did anything... anything at all! I'll make sure the title Witch of Chaos would cease to exist in this world! You hear me!!"
