My Werewolf System

After Gary had turned Kai into a Werewolf, the blonde teenager had spent his limited free time doing extensive research on the type of creature he had become. Unfortunately, given that barely any people believed in their existence, his main source of information had come from reading old myths and legends.

Speaking from his own experience, he had to admit that most of them were unreliable to the truth of the matter. For example, he had felt nothing upon touching silver. After exhausting the sources he could find, Kai had started to read the only other type of media that entailed Werewolves... fantasy novels.

With those, Kai had the opposite problem, there were far more than he could read in his lifetime, though he had encountered some useful pieces of information. He wasn’t sure if any of the authors had ever met a Werewolf, or those cases had just been lucky coincidences.

In any case, one of the similarities most of those fantasy novels shared was there was one type of creature that was often described as a sort of natural enemy of the Werewolf, the Vampire. Even more fitting, one of their characteristics were their red eyes.

“Are you telling us that Vampires are real?� Kai questioned Midwak who merely smiled at the correct conclusion. While the others had trouble coming to terms to this, the trio of Werewolves had only various levels of shock. Given their own existence that defied common sense, was it so hard to believe that there were other things out there?

“The Dark Warrior is a type of Werewolf who is stronger under the night sky.� Midwak began to explain. “One of the biggest advantages we have over those bloodsuckers is the fact that we have no problem with broad daylight. Well, there might be some exception, but that doesn’t matter right now.

“There are too many theories about how it all started, but suffice to say that we and them have a blood feud going on that won’t end until one side is exterminated. Since most of the fights happen at nighttime due to their condition, you’re a Werewolf that is greatly sought after.�

From Midway's explanation, he understood how important Dark Warriors were for the Werewolves. Although Packs were separated from each other almost like different families, they had a common enemy and for now they were leaving Gary, not because they knew what he was, but because they had bigger problems.

“I can’t believe it... are they really out there? Is it true what they say about them sucking blood and that they can turn you into one of them if they do?� Marie questioned, feeling her skin crawl as she imagined a large set of teeth sinking through her neck, but soon the face of a pale skinned beauty also entered her mind.

“Maybe it's not too bad to be bit.� Marie mumbled to herself, and shook her head as she snapped out of it. “How’s it possible for them to exist with nobody knowing it?!�

Midwak looked toward Marie first and licked his lips as if she was a delicious snack, but under the table Gary soon kicked his shin, and quite hard. The Omega reacted by trying to bare his teeth and transform, but it didn’t work as he didn’t have any energy to keep up the transformation.

“What are you so surprised about, you didn’t know about Werewolves for most of your life, but now you do. Just because you have never seen anything before doesn’t mean they don’t exist.� Midwak snorted.

“Are they one of the Kings?� Kai asked.

Midwak answered, shaking his head. “Unlike us, they can’t pass as Altered, so it would be hard for them to fit among the Kings. Besides, from what I know about them, they seem to be a secretive bunch. That being said, they still have managed to infiltrate most parts of society with none of you even suspecting anything.

“Gang members, police force, politicians, CEOs from companies, there’s no way to know for sure. The vampires... are idiots. Despite their power to easily take over everything, for some reason they choose to do nothing. It's hard to understand them.�

The group had already learnt a lot from Midwak, and continued their questioning including which of the Kings was the leader that they needed to look out for and kept that in mind.

After that, it was time to discuss what would happen with Notsburg and Midwak. It was stated that the Scatterbugs would officially become part of the Howlers, and the one that would lead this separate division would naturally be the Omega.

If there was any against that or any disputes that would happen in the meantime, he was to deal with them. Kai's prediction was that after Midwak defeated those who defied the new order a couple of times, things would calm down.

After all, unlike Olivia’s business, the gambling establishments would remain open and stay operating how they were. The gang members would continue to get paid, so for them the biggest change would be the person on the other end of the cheque book.

“There, you’ve learned more than enough, now let me eat!� Midwak demanded as he was sniffing the air.

“Not yet.� Gary refused as he stood up. “I want you to challenge me right now. I already know that those in the Pack can only challenge the Alpha once a month.�

“If you know, then why would I challenge you now?� Midwak asked, his eyes asking the teenager whether he was stupid.

“You’re free not to, but then forget about the food. As you said, we’ve learned more than enough, and I don’t particularly care whether you die or not. You’re someone who tried killing all my friends in here.� Gary answered, staring at him with red eyes. “I understand that you could be a powerful asset, but if you don’t want to cooperate then we’ll find a way to survive even without you

“The way I see it, you need us far more than we need you. After all, we’re your best chance to actually get revenge on the Alpha who did this to you, right? You can’t do that dead, so there’s one good reason for you to agree to fight me now.

“I’ll let you challenge me once a month whenever you want. You only need to beat me once for the position to be yours, then you’ll be free to do whatever you want with the Pack and the gang.�

The others looked at each other in shock. They couldn’t imagine a gang without Gary. They thought he must have had a ploy to stop the monthly challenges, but hearing him now, he didn’t.

“Don’t get me wrong, I'm not just going to let you beat me. I plan to beat you every month, proving to you why I deserve this position. From what you said before, the other Alpha will eventually come for us, so if I can’t even beat the likes of you, then the Pack would be better in your hands anyway.

“Think about.� Kai chimed in. “You have nothing to gain by refusing Gary, but if you stay in our Pack, you’ll eventually have the opportunity to fight against your former Pack.�

Midwak started to contemplate. The young Alpha had barely defeated him, and they all knew that the Omega’s downfall was a team effort. The real question was how quickly would Gary be able to grow in the span of one month. Would it be enough to beat him again? Even if it was, as long as they continued to fight, Midwak was sure he would be able to beat him eventually.

‘I’ve worked under Slith for years, what’s a few more months under this twerp’ Midwak eventually concluded.

“Fine!� Mdiwak shouted as the pain in his stomach was becoming unbearable. “I challenge the leader for position of the Alpha!�

A ding was heard from Gary’s system but just as quick the message disappeared with another one.

“I admit defeat.� Midwak ground his teeth as those words were a little hard for him to say.

Kai looked at the two Werewolves, as he had thoughts swirling around in his head.

‘I know what we're doing is dangerous having someone like this trying to stab our back at all times, but Midwak essentially wants to take over the Pack, so he has a shared interest in helping us get stronger.

‘The only thing is, Gary needs to make sure he keeps getting stronger, so he keeps on top of Midwak, but maybe this is a good thing and will skyrocket his growth. You have already grown at an incredible pace, Gary, but now I have to ask you to continue to do so. I wonder just how much stronger you’ll get.’ Kai thought.

With the ‘fight’ over, Midwak finally received his food.

It didn’t take long for others to learn about the amazing feat the Howlers had accomplished.
