Chapter 1388
After the meeting with the Dark Guild leader, Lupus remained seated at the dining table. Right in front of him sat a glass of one of the strongest, highest-percentage whiskeys that money could buy. He swirled the amber liquid gently, savoring the taste bit by bit as it burned his throat with every sip.“Leader of an entire pack. Head of an entire city,” Lupus muttered to himself with a sigh. “And yet, there’s no one here to share a drink with? Where even is Ylva these days?”He took another sip, the fire in the drink doing little to affect him due to his unique body, but the taste, strong and sharp, helped anchor him. It grounded him in a way nothing else could.I’m honestly surprised there are humans out there who can even stomach this stuff, Lupus thought.A faint smile formed on his face as he allowed himself to think about the future, about what was to come. But the moment was short-lived. The smile soon faded into a deep frown, and Lupus immediately placed his glass down with a l

Lupus was trying to settle as much as he could before the full moon arrived.Though his pack didn’t suffer from forced transformations like some of the others, and they weren’t in a deteriorating state either, the full moon still acted as a crucial turning point, a marker. A symbolic reset. And for Lupus, it meant it was time to look ahead and decide how they would move forward once the night had passed.Garlark had gone to retrieve him, and now Lupus was heading to the dining room. When he finally arrived, he pushed open the heavy wooden door and found three men already seated around the table.They were dressed in sleek black attire, clothing that looked like leather armor from a bygone era, worn with an air of purpose and danger. It wasn’t the type of gear one stumbled across; it belonged to those who walked between shadows.“It’s been a while since we last met,” Lupus said with a casual smile as he took a seat.“The Dark Guild is always happy to extend its hand,” the man in the ce

When the morning sun rose over Ruin, it marked the beginning of a new day—and brought with it the silent countdown to the full moon.There were only two full days left.In the past, full moon nights had been filled with fear, anxiety, and a need for restraint. Now, that same fear returned—but for entirely different reasons. The stakes were higher. The threats more unpredictable. And everyone could feel the shift in the air.Following the large-scale event from the day before, Gary had called for a gathering. He stood in the large dining and living area of the manor—a space that had slowly become the heart of their operations. Most were already there, as they usually were for breakfast. It was the perfect moment to speak. To give clarity before speculation and whispers could take root.Everyone was present, seated at the long dining table, sprawled across couches and benches, or leaning quietly against the walls. The murmur of conversation quickly faded as Gary stood up. He didn’t need

The city of Ruin was in recovery mode.After the widespread attacks launched by the Altered Hunters, events now broadcast and dissected on every major news outlet, the world was grappling with how to respond. There was rising support to dismantle all existing Altered projects and facilities across the globe.Yet, amidst the cries for total eradication, there was one place that stood out with a different voice: Ruin City.Why? The answer lay in the influence of one individual, Lupus, and the grip his group had over the city's people. Despite the chaos, they were doing what they could to rebuild. To reclaim their home. And most importantly, to prepare for whatever came next.At this very moment, Lupus walked the stone corridors of what was once a towering estate but had now become the central base for his werewolf pack. The echo of his boots was accompanied by a softer, steadier step beside him. It belonged to Galark, the werewolf who held the title of Book Keeper.Within the werewolf t

It was clear, from the tone of the conversation and the way it had been heading, that Marie had already made up her mind. She had been wrestling with the decision for a long time, and now, she had voiced it, plainly and firmly, to everyone, including Kai.It wasn’t a decision made lightly.And in the end, Kai knew when a fight was already lost. He stopped trying to change her mind.“Alright,” Kai finally said, exhaling. “I agree. But only on two conditions. First, I won’t be bringing any other Werewolves into the pack. Not from the Howlers or anywhere else. I made a promise, and I intend to keep it. I won’t undo everything we’ve worked to build.”He looked directly at Gary before continuing.“Only Marie will be moving over. And the second condition, she only joins me if Gary gives his permission.”Part of him wondered if Gary was hurting too. Marie had been with the Howlers for a long time. For Kai to take her away now, it almost felt like the core members were being asked to choose s
Chapter 1383
No matter how hard the group thought about it, no matter how many times they went over the possibilities, they couldn’t come up with another solution for the full moon that loomed ahead like a ticking clock.They had two choices, either reach out to Unzoku now, perform the ritual, and hope it led to something, anything, or Kai would have to disappear before the full moon and only return after. Only then could they try and figure out what came next… and see if there was still a future for them working together.To Gary, the idea of losing Kai, especially now, when things were still fragile, felt like one of the biggest blows the Howlers could suffer. Kai wasn’t just a strategist or a comrade; he was the glue between them all. If he was gone, the cracks might finally spread too far to hold.Still, if there was one small relief, it was that this was happening after they had dealt with the chaos of the Kings. After everything, they had earned at least a little peace.With time running out
