Austin folded his arms and let out a huff. "So let me get this straight—you want to ask us, or even Gary, to deliver something for you? Do you even know who Gary is? You do realize he’s one of the Kings, right?""Not a real King," Numan quickly interjected. "That is merely a title your society has given him. A society that is already falling apart, playing political games while real power moves elsewhere. You cannot compare the two."Tension crackled between them. It was only natural. One side had been ambushed without warning, and now, even after suffering losses, the vampires still acted as if they were superior. It was difficult for the Howlers to swallow."Let’s not jump to conclusions," Lucien said, raising a hand. "Remember, this arrangement benefits us both. If something as simple as a delivery can stop Lupus and his gang, then shouldn’t we at least discuss it?"Austin looked like he wanted to fire back, but before he could, Kai placed a hand on his shoulder, silently signaling

After Gary had explained his condition, there were various raised eyebrows among the Howlers, including from the vampires. They didn’t fully understand his reasoning, but they trusted that Gary knew what he was doing.Regardless of what the vampires thought, they had decided to accept the unusual request. In order to cement the deal immediately, they wanted to fulfill Gary’s request on the spot, leading everyone back outside to the destroyed street where Gary and Lucien had fought.Standing alone in the center, Gary bounced on his toes, shaking out his arms and loosening up his body. His sharp eyes scanned the group of vampires before him, his anticipation growing."Alright, Haylock, you're always talking about understanding humans. So why would he request this?" Jin asked, folding his arms."Firstly, Gary is a werewolf, not a human," Haylock corrected. "Secondly, I have no idea."One of the vampires stepped forward—not a leader, just one from the large group that had accompanied them

Although it was late at night, it was not a day for resting for Gary and his friends. When the vampire king had stated that tomorrow he would send someone, they had assumed he meant today, as it was already early in the morning.Presumably, someone would come to the Wolf’s Pool Club at night, so they had little time to prepare, so everyone was busy getting ready.Gary, for one, had made a call to Tom in the middle of the night, who had only been sleeping for a couple of hours. He didn’t complain much, at least, before agreeing to try and help Austin.Thankfully, Tom had a lab, and he wasn’t the only one working there. Steadily, Slough had been gaining talent that could work on a number of things, and with them not being one of the larger research institutes, they weren’t hit with the wave of protests like the others.Not that such a thing would even happen in Slough anyway. For the people cared far too much about Gary and what he had done for them.In their eyes, he was an Altered, so

The class had given him a skill of all things, rather than just a general benefit. A skill related to his class was a strange one, and he couldn’t figure out what it could do by its name, so he decided to just go ahead and see what it could do.[Night Breaker][This skill can only be used once a day. This skill can only be used during the day.]There was slight confusion. So far, everything to do with the class was to do with the night, so Gary was interested to see where this would go.[When the skill is cast, the small area around them will be covered in darkness. While in the area, the user will have the same effects as if the night sky was out.]Lifting his hands up, Gary touched the corners of his mouth, and he could feel that both of them were raised. The one weakness the class had was that everything relied on it being night, but this was the one skill that would change all of that.His efforts were worth it in the end. There was a part of him that was too scared at the time to

It was hard for Gary to ever get mad at Kai. Whenever he did things, it did seem to be with thinking about others, thinking about the city, and what was best for the gang.The issue was that it was Gary that had to make the choice based on Kai’s suggestions. The one that would be doing the changes was him.Although others could turn people, Gary was only sure that his Alpha Bite would have the 99.9 percent chance of success.Although that percentage was near perfect, it wasn’t the fact that someone might die, but changing their lives altogether.“Gary, I’m going to try to make you not worry as much as possible about this,” Kai explained. “On top of that, I’ll tell you all the reasons why I think we should do this. At the end of the day, I believe in your choice, because without you, we wouldn’t have gotten this far, and there are some things that I have done wrong myself where you have corrected as well.”Gary wanted to say the same thing to Kai. Without him, the whole of the Howlers
