My Werewolf System

At the end of the day, Midwak was a member of the pack, and although he hadn't helped out with the situation with the One Gang, he had played a big part in the situation with The Phoenix Gang.

Whether it was for his own purposes or not, he was crucial to the Howlers Gang for more reasons than one. One of those being he was the reason why they were able to perform the ritual to form a contract with who knew what.

Thanks to him and the information he provided, they had now averted the crisis of the full moon, with a catch of course to the agreement.

"Well, I'm not surprised someone like him wouldn't want to turn up to something like this," Gary answered. "It's been a while since we've checked up on him, but he's been looking after Notsburg well, right? There haven't been any issues."

"Right," Kai answered. "I checked in with others that are in Notsburg, and there hasn't been an attack or anything. He just hasn't been replying. I've been too busy with everything since we've gotten back with the One Gang to even look into matters, so maybe we should try checking it out after."

Kai nodded and agreed. In his mind, there was only one troublesome opponent they needed to deal with in the country left, and Midwak might be the key to winning that battle, so keeping a good relationship with him was important, no matter how unbearable he was.

Eventually, Kai shooed Gary away, getting him to mingle with the guests. He could see that there were a lot who wished to speak with him. He went around greeting himself to every table.

Clem and AJ talked to him about what had occurred and what had happened recently. Then Gary moved over to those from the AFC, talking with the past students who were mingling with Crowley, asking what it was like living in Slough.

Apparently, Numba and the others were even thinking about moving there. At one point, he had met with Austin, who wasn't with the group of people he thought he would be with. He was at a table with two others.

"Hey, it's Vere and Vlad, right? I know it's only been a couple of times, but I can smell you guys," Gary said.

"Smell, do we stink?" Vere asked.

"Ah, no, it's just… ergh," Gary was trying to quickly think of a situation to pull him out of the one he was in. Often smells were a stronger memory pull for him.

He remembered each scent of a person better than their looks and names, but it was embarrassing to explain all of this.

"I'm just joking about it," Vere replied. "I know your Altered form. It's like it's based on a dog, right? I don't think there's a single person that doesn't know your Altered form now."

"Wolf," Gary corrected. "But that doesn't matter. It's good to see the two of you getting close, I see."

Austin took a step away from Vere as he realized they were practically touching shoulders, and his face was turning a little red.

"Vere was worried sick about Austin," Vlad eventually said. "I don't understand why they both won't admit that they just want to be together. It would be a lot easier."

"Vlad, what are you saying!" Vere shouted and went to hit him on the shoulder, but he quickly avoided the strike.

"And what about you, Vlad? Is everything okay now?" Gary asked.

"Yeah, everything is fine. Your friend Tom checked me out, and he said it's as if the infection was never there in the first place. My mind is clear, and I can transform into an Altered fine with no problems at all," Vlad explained.

Vlad was an infected Altered, but he still had some sense in his mind. He was constantly following Vere around like he was some type of bodyguard for her. The two clearly had a connection, perhaps through the events they had all gone through.

When Gary had defeated Harvor in his strange Shadow form, all of the Altered that were infected had returned to normal. This included those that had been locked up by White Rose as well.

"It's good to hear that, and I hope the two of you enjoy your time together, Austin. Have some fun, go crazy, make some babies," Gary said as he turned around, leaving him be.

Eventually, he made it to Elijah, Sandie, Frank, and Kanu. To him, Gary saw this as the White Rose table.

"You guys seem to be drinking a lot, especially you, Kanu," Gary said as he saw Kanu practically downing another large beer and asking for another.

"Hey, the White Rose would never pay for something this extravagant. They're a bunch of stingy guys, you know that, and I'm seeing this as part of my retirement party as well," Kanu replied.

"You… retired?" Gary asked.

"Yeah, he handed it in just a couple of days ago," Elijah answered. "Good thing is White Rose agents are allowed to retire early because of all of the stress that comes with the job and all."

"Honestly, I think it's a good thing."

"Don't worry too much, kid," Frank said. "You still have us in the White Rose, and we can help you out."

"Hey!" Sadie said, kicking Frank on the shin. "We are agents of White Rose. We don't work for them, but if there is something wrong, feel free to report it to us."

Gary couldn't help but chuckle at the group. It went to show that there really were all sorts from everywhere, and not each group was filled with bad or good.

Gary felt like it was a shame that Chen hadn't come as he had done a lot as well, but based on the limited interaction he knew who he was.

Just then, a stir was causing a bit of commotion among the people, as they turned to look at who entered, and there was constant gossip.

A group of three individuals, dressed in black clothing, and one in a black robe had entered into the room.

"Looks like important guests have arrived for you, Gary," Kanu said. "That's the Dark Guild."
