My Werewolf System

After saying a few more words and sending out a large number of texts, Kai let out a big sigh. He twisted his neck, letting off a few cracks here and there. Things were always busy for him; even after they had defeated Sin, it wasn’t going to be so easy.

“You asked Ben for help?” Gary said as he was pushing the car to the side.

The victory cry had been heard by all, and messages were already being spread to everyone in the city that the attackers had disappeared. So the people were heading back to their homes and houses.

The thing was, right after a great attack people would start to think about what they had lost. Think about moving, or thinking about what to do next, and it was Kai’s job to make them believe that it was a safe place.

A city needed its people for the economy to work well with each other, so he had to use every resource he could. Right now, the Howlers were helping just make things look a bit better than they did before.

“We have to use everyone we can; Ben seemed quite reluctant, but I’m sure I heard Xin on the phone; she seems to be knocking some sense into him. With the Mayor, it will be easier to get the police and local governments to work with us better as well,” Kai explained. “It’s easier to just control the one in power rather than micromanaging all the way down; I mean, did you see how many calls I had to make?”

It was strange to think that after a large-scale battle, just coming out of it all with their lives, that there was a lot for them to do. Gary wouldn’t know where to start, so he was happy he had Kai sorting it all out.

“The good thing is, the pressure from the other cities will have been lifted now. AJ Entertainment, Cardenez Electronics, and Notsburg, we’ll be able to get help from them and receive funds in due time, but the people need help now.”

After finishing pushing the car, Gary noticed something; he could see that Kai was staring off into space. There was still a deep thought on his mind and a deep worry.

“Is there anything I can do to help in all of this?” Gary asked. “I want to get this city, and the people back to how they were, so they don’t have to worry anymore.”

Kai was now the one looking at Gary. He still had no idea how Gary was able to escape, the tale behind it. He was sure Gary had gone through his own troubles to get as strong as he had done.

Yet, before they could even begin to start a conversation with each other they needed to sort out the city first; then they would get time to rest.

“After the people feel safe, then we all need to say goodbye to the ones that we lost in this fight,” Kai answered. “I think after that we can move on… I need you to be ready, Gary, because I still don’t feel safe; it felt like there was something bigger behind this attack.”

“The words from Sin, I think there might have been another King behind it, and there’s a good chance with the state that we are in we could be attacked again. You as the leader need to protect this city,” Kai stated.

Gary had a boost in his strength, and a lot of his energy had returned. He didn’t mind fighting, but after one large battle, would the Howlers really have to suffer another, along with all of these people.

“Another King, what are the chances that we’ll actually be attacked?” Gary asked.

The issues weren’t just with the Kings themselves, but the large gangs that would come with them along with their influence.

“Right now, Inferno City is up for grabs, but it’s quite clear we don’t have the power to take over it like we did Notsburg. We were lucky with Notsburg for one; we took the fight to them, the second reason was because we had Midwak who could protect it and was loyal to you.”

“Taking over a tier 1 city would be difficult, but not for another King. My guess is, and my hope is that they will ignore us and do this. It could be the Bree Family, the One Gang, or even the Lupis Gang.”

“Whoever was helping Sin would most likely be able to take over the city the quickest. I doubt there will be a large-scale battle as the other Kings might just concede to whoever gets there first.”

“Equally though, someone could choose to forget about Inferno City altogether, realizing it will belong to someone else and come for us instead… I’m worried; do you remember what I said about the Lupus gang before?”

Gary nodded; he thought about it often.

“That the Alpha Werewolf was most likely to be from there.”

“Not most likely,” Midwak said overhearing. “Lupus is the Alpha Werewolf, and he is in charge of a pack of strong werewolves.”

Midwak had confirmed their suspicions; he being an ex-member of theirs already knew about it.

“I know what you’re thinking as well,” Midwak added. “That Lupis, seeing what Gary just did, will come attack us, and he’ll do so now.”

Gary’s heart started to beat faster; fighting against another Werewolf, how big was Lupis’s Pack in the first place? How strong was Lupis? Was it something they could go against, certainly not now with the state that the city was in.

“You might not have to worry about Lupis,” Blake said, and walking by his side was none other than Innu.

Both Gary and Innu gave a nod toward each other. It had been a long time since the two of them met, but they knew there were more important matters at hand.

“What do you mean?” Kai asked.

“There’s something both of us need to tell you,” Blake answered, and Innu and Blake both looked at each other for a moment, while everyone else wondered what exactly they were going to say.
