Trying to gather what had happened, Gary was looking around the cell and noticed the chains on the floor. At the sa ti, the cuffs were no longer around his wrists, but they didn't look to be destroyed. Instead, the cuffs were open.
‘The chains are not ripped off either, it looks like soone went and got the key, and all this blood on the floor… there’s too much of it to be mine and Kai’s alone… did I sleepwalk and eat soone?’ Gary started to wonder.
Even if he had eaten up his upperclassman’s entire hand, sothing he was sure he would have rembered, it shouldn’t have possibly been enough to heal him up, leading to more and more confusion in the awakened Werewolf’s mind. That was when Gary decided to open up the system screen and assess the Pack tab.
[Howlers Pack]
[Alpha Werewolf - Gary Dem]
[Grade: Bishop (1/15)]
[Beta Werewolf - Olivia Pearl]
[Grade: Knight (0/5)]
[Beta Werewolf - Kyle Hamper]
[Grade: Pawn (0/1)]
‘Phew, I’m glad Kai successfully turned into a Werewolf… however, should I be happy or sad that he didn’t beco a Knight Grade Werewolf? According to the system I received a Pawn Point, so I could upgrade him to assign him a class, but according to Olivia’s account it takes so ti, and assuming he fighting right now it could be a death sentence. At least, I hope he is the one fighting. I don’t see the Bond Mark I have placed on him…’
Checking on his Mark skill, he saw that the number had gone down by one. Fortunately, Gary had seen Kai's na appear in the Pack tab, so he knew him to at least be safe. Still, finding him might prove troubleso. He had already tried picking up his scent to find Kai’s location, but it was hard to make out, especially since it had sowhat changed, most likely due to him turning.
‘... well, after hearing his story, and judging from where we currently should be, he has to have gone after Damion. I have yet to receive the daily notification about how much I have left until the full moon, so I can’t have been out for too long, but I can hear so struggling sounds, so I should better check up.’
Stepping out of the cell, Gary abruptly stopped as he discovered a dead person. A gang mber who looked to have been brutally slashed across the chest multiple tis. On closer inspection, Gary could soon see that his limbs had been removed and only the torso of his body was present.
‘Shit!’ Gary took a few steps back. ‘Was it this guy? … it has to be. He slls the sa as what was in the cell. Did Kai kill him and bring him to ? But how’s that possible? The Pack Rules should have prevented him from taking soone’s life unless in a life or death situation.’
Thinking about this more, Gary realised that the rule might be a bit more open for interpretation than he had initially believed. He didn’t know whether it had been a life and death situation for Kai himself, but the life of him as the pack leader had certainly been in danger. The Werewolf made a ntal note to experint in the future whether Pack Rules could be overridden in cases where his own safety depended on it, or if they were enforceable as long as he made them more specific.
Either way, it appeared as if he would have to thank the blonde teenager for filling up his Energy and Health. He gave the corpse a silent thank you for becoming his food as he went past it. He was a little worried about what else he might see, his hand was hesitating on turning the handle.
‘At least I know that Kai is still alive out there… wait a second, the Pack Rules!!! How much can he actually do against Damion? It might have been one thing to kill soone to ensure my safety, but how much is he allowed to do once I was fine again?’
It was then that Gary swung the door open and discovered that he was in a large building that was scattered with blood. There were two guards by the door, both had been severely hurt, but Gary could hear a faint breath from one of them. He quickly knelt down to check on the gangster.
“Tell what happened to you… was it a blond haired boy? Was it Kai?! If you tell , I can save you.” Gary bombarded the dying man with questions. His eyes looked weak, still bleeding from the wounds on his body, and unsure whether he could talk or not, Gary went and looked at the other person. Unfortunately, he was already dead.
“...mon…ster~” The first man eventually revealed with his last breath. Seeing this, and the wounds, the circumstances spoke for themselves. Although Kai should be bound by the Pack Rules, from the looks of it injuring a person to the point that they were close to death wasn't out of the question, and letting them bleed out didn’t seem to be a problem either.
‘Damn it. It looks like the Pack Rules are a far cry from being as loophole free as I had hoped… what have I done? With as much anger as he has… What happens if he becos another Bill? Shit, I don’t want to have to kill him…’ Gary thought, and decided on running through the building towards the noise.
Running through, Gary soon realised that he was in so type of abandoned building, that used to be a police station, though in hindsight the cell room should have already been a big hint. There didn't seem to be many guards, which seed a little strange. The Werewolf had expected Damion to have brought the remaining mbers of the Underdogs to this place, if only to make sure that he wouldn’t escape.
Soon, though, Gary could hear the sound of groaning and a few loud bangs here and there.
‘Please, let not be too late…’ He silently prayed.
When turning the corner, he could see a female standing in the large reception hall, just by the double door entrance. She was surrounded by four people, each one ard with Anti-Altered weapons, with two more lying on the ground, seemingly knocked out.
“Screw it, even more of yo~ oh, it’s you. That saves having to look for you.” Olivia smiled. “Well, don’t just stand there, help out here!”
