My Werewolf System

Since entering the room, Sadie had been keeping an eye on the other White Rose agent. His actions seemed a little too strange and annoying, but truthfully, she didn't think much of it.

She just kept her eye on him because his actions were bothering her. As it turned out, her vigilant behaviour led her to realize that her fellow agent had transformed his hand.

"Traitor!" Sadie exclaimed urgently, as there was no time to waste.

At that moment, the White Rose agent abandoned his position by the window and made a beeline towards Haze, a long stringer protruding from his finger. It seemed he disregarded everything else, fixated solely on impaling Haze's head.

Haze's eyes widened in terror as he could see his life flash before his eyes. Despite being a trained fighter and the attack being quite obvious, his current condition made it impossible for him to move out of the way.

The stinger approached the side of his temple, but before it reached, a hand swung down, breaking it off.

"You’re an idiot if you think we’ll just watch you kill him!" Kanu growled, baring his teeth. The two canine-like teeth elongated — they were long and thick — and there was a fierce look in his eyes as the pupils slightly narrowed.

Kanu seized the man's arm, effortlessly flinging him over his shoulder. The sound of the White Rose agent's shoulder popping echoed through the room as he collided with the sturdy wall, causing bricks to cascade down upon him. Knocked unconscious, he would remain incapacitated for some time.

"Hiru! What’s the meaning of this?" Kanu demanded an explanation.

Hiru was startled. Having jumped out of his seat, he was unable to act properly and just kept looking at his own agent on the floor and everything around him.

"I... I'm just as confused as you. Tomas has been an agent for six years. He's been a part of my squad for four! This is the first time he has done anything of this sort, and it’s not like he has a grudge against this guy…" Hiru stammered, but after taking a deep breath he figured that the best course of action was to apprehend his agent for the time being and ask question him later.

While kneeling down to handcuff the unconscious Tomas, rage built up in Captain Hiru as he realized the repercussion this incident might have on himself, his position, and his goal to become the next Chief.

"You better hope you're dead! Because if you wake up, I will ensure you endure a hundred hells!" Hiru seethed.

Observing the scene, Kanu concluded that Hiru's reactions were genuine. Either that, or he was might switch careers to become an actor. The former seemed far more likely, especially considering how much his colleague cared about rising through the ranks.

"That was a good call, Sadie," Kanu commended his own agent, heading over to her and tapping her on the shoulder. "I knew it was a good thing to bring you on this, but how did you manage to call it? You acted before he did, which might have very well saved his life."

"Oper!" Hiru bellowed from the ground. "Get over here and make sure this traitor doesn't go anywhere. I need to go contact someone about this."

The other White Rose agent did as told and walked over.

"Thank you, sir," Sadie replied, somewhat proud of herself as her face blushed a little. "I actually noticed that he had been acting strange since the beginning, but that's when I saw in the reflection of the mirror that he had transformed part of his hand. Since Haze has been cooperating so far and without entering a crazed state, there should have been no reason for him to transform, so I called it out."

Stroking his chin, Kanu sensed a discrepancy. "The mirror! Why didn't the engineers notice Tomas's hand transformation? Could it be that there are others involved in this scheme?"

Kanu quickly turned his head, but he was too late. Oper, who had been walking toward Hiru to help him out, had his hand on top of Haze's forehead. Blood dripped out from his ears, mouth, and eyes. His head was held up only by the restraint.

It was clear that there was no saving Haze.

"The White Rose does not hold sway over anything, and all of you are delusional if you believe otherwise!" Oper grinned.

Before he realized it, Kanu was right next to him, in a bent-over position. It was as if he had teleported. Swinging his arm from a bent position, it slammed right into the stomach of Oper, bending his body inward like a closed book.

He went flying, crashing not only into the wall but directly through the wall. Standing up straight, Kanu breathed heavily. His arms were bulkier than before and slightly longer as well.

"Our duty was to protect him. A White Rose base is meant to be the epitome of security, yet he died in fear... we failed him. The least I can do is exact vengeance upon the one who took his life," Kanu declared.

Sadie and Frank had been unable to see their Captain take action. It was also the first time they had seen him so enraged. It was undeniable that neither one of them had any clear idea about his true strength.

As Kanu walked forward, Hiru quickly stood in his way.

"Stop, Kanu!" Hiru ordered. "I can’t let you do that. Haze is already dead, but there is a chance that Oper could be the only one who can give us the information we need."

Advancing a step, Kanu abruptly veered to the side, leaving Hiru struggling to keep up as Kanu swiftly closed the distance. With one hand, Kanu lifted Oper off the ground.

"We have Tomas and the engineers to question, which means we don’t necessarily need him," Kanu answered. Using his fingers alone, a click was heard, and Oper's lifeless body dropped to the floor.
