“Picking my Luna…not this again,” Gary said to himself. He was so startled that he had to take a seat, and Tom did so next to him. He started to remember when the message had first appeared about him selecting a Luna.At the time, there were some conditions that needed to be followed for the selection of a Luna, but as to why Gary had never picked one, it was because of what a Luna was to a pack.“What did the message exactly say? Why is he forcing me to pick a Luna? Is it just me, or is this a similar situation to where a father is asking his son when is he going to get married? I’m only 19… or 20. Damn, man, I’m so stressed these days; I don’t even know how old I am.”Tom could see his friend was clearly startled and stressed out by the situation, so he needed to be the voice of reason.“It’s not that bad,” Tom said. “Your father said in the last fight against Harvor, you should have seen how much of a benefit it was to have your pack near you. Werewolves are unique in the way that

The song had changed into a slow dance ballad. It was a classic song to get the floor moving, with couples going to the center dance floor. Both Xin and Gary were holding hands, with his hand around her waist, and the two slowly two-stepped their way to the beat of the song.They swayed side to side as they enjoyed this peaceful moment, dancing to the music. “I’m surprised you can actually dance. I thought someone like you would have two left feet.”“Ha, I’m a quick learner, you should know,” Gary replied. “Besides, dancing, fighting, it relates, right? Maybe that’s why the two of us can dance together like this.”Slowly, as the two continued, Xin eventually moved forward, placing her chin on top of Gary’s shoulder. She was so close that Gary could smell her hair, although that was something that he could do before anyway, but never as close as this.As Gary continued to dance, he also noticed Austin, who was doing nearly the exact same thing with Vere, only she wasn’t able to place h

Gary had been scratching the side of his head so hard that he had managed to destroy part of the hair follicles on the side of his head. Luckily, it would all heal, so there was no permanent damage, but none of that helped him in the current situation he was in.Because the whole thing was just too hard for him.‘It’s too hard; it’s just too damn hard!’ Gary screamed in his head. ‘Every time I think of one person being a good pick, my head flip-flops to the other, and do they have to make me decide now with them all staring at me? I feel like it’s influencing my choice.’In the middle of all of his struggles, that was when one man had appeared. When all hope felt like it was lost, he had stepped forward.“I’ll help you, Gary, because it’s my job,” Kai said, staring back. “This is hard on Gary, ladies, so which is why I propose that each of you give a good reason as to why you should be his Luna, starting from left to right! This is your chance, your one chance to convince Gary to pick

Although Gary said the words readily, he realized that he wasn’t ready himself. Because Xin’s response to the whole thing was to brush her hair to the side and show her bare neck.[Your heart beat is rising] [No danger connected] [We suggest you go to the hospital to get checked up.]‘Stupid system, I thought it had gotten a lot better these days, and then it goes ahead and does this,’ Gary thought, but it was right about one thing; he needed to calm down and take a deep breath.“I actually haven’t told you everything yet,” Gary said. “There were some things that I didn’t mention, and I want to be clear about all of it before you make your decision.”“There’s more?” Xin said as she flipped her hair back.“First, I don’t have to bite you on the neck. I’m not a vampire trying to draw blood. I can bite you on your arm or your leg where it might be less painful,” Gary answered.These words had even caused Xin to blush a bit after hearing them.“Second, the guarantee of a bite. If I bite y

The first thought that came to Gary’s mind when asked the question was how to get stronger. He had grown leaps and bounds, and although he would play a big part in this Alpha against Alpha fight, it was the entire group that would need to be involved at the end of the day.The first idea that had come to his mind was growing the Pack’s numbers. With the new Alpha bite, there was a much higher chance of turning individuals, and there were plenty that would be happy to be turned and take part in the upcoming fight.The system now allowed him more Pack rules, allowing him greater control over the pack with less worry as to how to deal with any troublesome Werewolves. But as Kai said, would a numbers game win?Joining up with the Altered Hunters also would increase their numbers, that was if they could even join them in the first place.Then there was the obvious plan that they were already going with, that was to wait until they had a Luna and see what benefits that would bring to the ga
