Gary had stunned the others into silence with his actions before, and he had done it again with his latest statement. They were left speechless, struggling to comprehend the weight of his words.
Midwak's outburst broke the silence that had hung in the air, and he took a step forward, his fists clenched in anger. "This is a joke, right?" he spat out, his voice thick with disbelief. But as he closed in on Gary, something strange happened. Midwak's eyes began to glow an eerie shade of blue, and his movements became unsteady. It was as if some unseen force was taking hold of him, causing him to hesitate in his tracks.
Even if he used all his will, the Beta Werewolf’s body wouldn’t allow him to hit the Alpha, not until he was able to challenge him for his position again.
Gary's voice was steady as he spoke, his eyes meeting Midwak's in a direct gaze. "I'm not joking," he replied firmly. "The vow wasn't one I made, but one that being decided on. From here on out, we’re not to turn on the night of the full moon.”
Hearing the news once again, Midwak jumped from his feet back to where his desk was. Both of his hands were covered in fur as he transformed and slammed them down onto the desk, breaking it in half.
“Do you have any idea what you have done? Thanks to you, ALL of us are in even worse situation compared to before!” Midwak shouted. “If the other Alpha finds out about this, then they have a perfect day to attack us all! Just because you couldn’t handle one night of bloodlust, you have gone ahead and doomed us all!”
Honestly, Gary wasn’t too happy about this either, but it was more so for other reasons. Now that this deal had been made, what did it mean for his family? If there was Werewolf blood running through him, didn’t it mean it was also running through Amy?
According to this being, their family had already been punished for breaking a vow in the past. However, seeing that it had agreed to make a vow with him, would he have to worry about his sister now also being able to turn?
For now, he kept these worries to himself, just like he hid the fact that there was also a second promise, which was to get rid of the Alpha in five years. Things were just starting to look good for the Howlers, so now didn’t seem like the perfect time to add additional pressure.
“Will you calm down?!” Marie shouted. “You're acting like a wild animal. Did you not hear what he said? He wasn’t the one who chose to make that vow, it was forced on him!”
Midwak's anger boiled over. "And why do you think that was the case, huh, missy?" he snarled, his words dripping with venom. "Let me tell you, it was given to him because he's a giant piece of shit!" His eyes narrowed as he glared at Gary, his fists shaking with rage. "I promise you, the first thing I'm going to do when I become Alpha is get rid of this ridiculous vow!"
As Midwak continued to shout obscenities in the air, his words filled with rage and bitterness, the rest of the group watched on in silence. They knew that nothing they could say or do would calm him down in his current state. Finally, one by one, they began to make their way out of the room.
“Hey Gary, don’t kick yourself so much.” Kai rested his hand on his shoulder after they left. “We got what we came for, now you can fight in your debut match without having to worry about it. Heck, all of us can eat as much as we want now without having to worry.”
“Yeah, and think about it, Gary. Only those in the room know about this. Even without transforming we’re strong enough to fight against anyone who isn’t an altered and because it affects all of us, we would never say anything that would put us at a disadvantage,” Marie said, thinking that even Midwak wouldn’t tell the enemy a weakness he had as well.
“Besides, it's one day a month, so that's 12 days a year when we just have to avoid fighting. It's not like we're magnets that attract trouble.”
As Olivia followed the group, she listened intently to Marie's words. For the most part, she agreed, nodding along in silent agreement. However, there was one part of Marie's statement that didn't sit right with her. Olivia had never been part of a gang that got involved in so much trouble in such a short amount of time before, and while things had quieted down somewhat, she felt that the danger was always lurking in the shadows for the Howlers.
During the drive back, Gary sat in silence, lost in his own thoughts. The others in the car exchanged glances, unsure of what was going on in his mind. They assumed that he was still preoccupied with the vow that had been made, but little did they know that there was so much more weighing on his mind. The vow was just a small part of a larger puzzle that he was trying to put together.
Tyler just silently did his just and dropped them off at their desired destination. Marie and Olivia got off at Burnham Food Street first, before they continued towards the Wolf’s Pool Club.
The two of them headed inside and down to into Kai’s office.
“So, now that’s just the two of us again, what’s on your mind?” Kai asked as he looked over the papers Gary had collected during his transformation.
“There are a few things that I want to request from you, but I can’t really explain why at the moment.” Gary answered. “First, I need you to keep an eye on Amy. I mean more so than you have been doing already. Tell White to be careful and that she needs to report if she notices anything unusual about Amy. In that case, contact me straight away.”
“That can easily be done,” Kai answered. “And for the other requests.”
“I think it’s finally time to find out more about the briefcase that started it all. We need to find out where it came from and who Damion planned to deliver it to.”.
Kai didn’t say anything, because he had already been looking into this himself. He had a few guesses in mind, but he didn’t want to give Gary an answer until he knew for certain. His guesses were all dangerous people, and sticking their nose in the business of uninvolved parties was just asking for trouble.
"As for my final request," Gary said, his voice steady but laced with emotion. "I need you to use all of the resources at our disposal to find someone very important to me. Contact our allies and ask for their assistance in locating Dean Dem."
