My Werewolf System
chapter-544-1-30041322

In the large grand casino that was practically an island, the inner circle members of the Scatterbugs had been gathered. Not all of their members had come here from the other casinos, but most of the crucial and strong members of Notsburg had come on their leader's behest.

At the very top of the casino, in the pentsuite, Slith was sitting behind his office, wearing a red suit as he played around with a black betting chip. He was twirling it between his fingers and knuckles back and forth. Standing in front of him were all the Altered that the Tier-2 city had.

There were twelve of them in total, including him and Midwak by his side. On top of that, there were around 200 staff members in the casino itself that worked for the gang. Although they looked like normal guards, dealers and more, they were all trained fighters.

On a day-to-day basis, they dealt with those that came from gangs and all sorts of cities. They would often get rowdy when drinking too much or suffering a large loss of sorts. Which was why they had to be strong, enough to deal with those that came in their way.

If there was one place where Slith felt safe from attack, it was in his own casino.

"You have all been gathered today because it's come to my attention that a gang known as the Howlers might attack us." Slith explained.

The members of the Scatterbugs looked at each other with slight confusion. Coming here, they had believed this would be some kind of meeting, but not about an attack. Most couldn't even remember the last time someone had been stupid enough to attack them, much less directly at their stronghold.

On top of that, the gang's name didn't ring a bell in any of their heads. If this was a gang that they really needed to worry about, they would call the heads of the other casinos to this place.

"I can see the look on your faces, so let me say that I've gathered you here mostly as a precaution." Slith explained. "The chances are unlikely, but Midwak is the one who advised me. I've sent him out to strike at them, and it is his professional opinion that these Howlers will be more troublesome than we expect."

Slith turned to look at Midwak. Had someone else been the one to advise him, he would have called this meeting excessive, but so far listening to his most trusted aide had always proven beneficial. Just hearing about it, it was hard for the gang leader to believe that a Tier-3 town that they had nearly hired for a job could turn out to be such a pain in their side.

Midwak didn't say anything. He just looked at the other Altered, grinning to himself as he thought back to the conversation he had with Kai yesterday.

After the initial attacks, Midwak had proven too powerful for Kai, overpowering the Beta Werewolf in the fight. The injuries Kai has sustained appeared to be too much for his body to recover in a small amount of time. Midwak knew the limits of a Werewolf's body quite well, which was why he had decided to shoot out his nails, pinning Kai to a wall.

"You…think…"Kai began speaking as he was nailed to the wall, barely clinging to consciouness. "I'm… afraid…death?"

MIdwak looked at Kai, who was lifeless apart from the look in his eyes. He walked up to him, placing his hand up onto his chin holding his mouth, so Kai was unable to talk.

"Do you think I give a damn about you when you are nothing but a Knight?" MIdwak replied. "You still have the smell of a whelp on you, so you probably don't even know what I'm talking about. If there's one thing you should take away from this, then let it be this, being in a Pack is nothing special!"

Kai wanted to say something, but Midway's hand was holding his mouth so tight that he was unable to. The Omega Werewolf was right, Kai had no idea what he meant by calling him a Knight. He didn't care much about this Werewolf business, and regarded it mostly as a special type of Altered, though one that came with certain downsides around the full moon.

"I can see in your eyes that you're not going to give up your leader, but you see, after I'm done with you, your body will BE the message. All Alphas are the same. Their weakness is that they care too much for their Pack, and they get hell-bent on revenge when one of their members gets hurt!

"Do you know what will happen after I defeat him? Once an Omega beats the Alpha, I will become the Alpha of your Pack. Which means you will have to obey me whether you like it or not!!! It would be too much of a waste to get rid of you completely.

"Once I become Alpha and take over your Pack, I will need strong ones to go up against them. They will regret everything they did to me."

Kai was trying his best to follow, he could hear the words spoken by the other, but due to the blood loss and damage he was unable to think straight, unable to figure out what this Werewolf was doing to him.

"I still have a need for you, but I don't necessarily need you in one piece. I think it's safe if we remove this nasty mouth of yours, so you can't say anything to your leader. I doubt you will be able to wake up for a while after this." Midwak said as he pulled and ripped the bottom part of Kai's mouth off and threw it onto the floor.

After thinking back to what happened, Midwak stood up. "Don't worry, Slith, they will come. I only hope they bring a strong group with him. This will be our biggest step forward, trust me."

Not able to control his feelings, Midway's eyes were already starting to glow slightly yellow. Sltih knew his battle hungry ally long enough to be able to tell he was excited.

"Sir!" One of the men standing guard by the door had just been given a report through his earpiece. "It seems like someone has just driven through the barriers and is heading straight to the casino!!"

"I told you they would come," Midwak stated.
