It was early morning, and the core members of the Howlers had decided to meet at their usual location, the Wolf's Pool Club. However, the place looked vastly different from how it usually would.
For one, all of the pool tables had been moved, and in their place were regular tables, seats, and chairs.
There was also a significant upgrade, with several large TVs placed everywhere, including a large screen projector displaying onto one of the establishment walls. The venue was not open to the public at the moment due to the meeting taking place.
Instead of meeting downstairs in Kai's office, the rest of the members were sitting on the main floor at a table arranged in a rectangular formation. Kai and Austin sat on one side, while Marie and Olivia were on the other.
"There's a lot of important things we need to talk about, I guess, but let's start this whole thing with some positive news," Kai stated.
"The day of the full moon passed without any troubles occurring at all. Despite us eating what we normally would have, none of us reported feeling an urge to transform. At the same time, there were no troubles with any other groups."
"All of this is good news for the future, and we just need to make sure not to get involved in any troubles on a certain day in particular."
Just like the time before, all of the werewolves in the Howlers had locked themselves up and waited. The only difference was that they ate what they wished rather than starving themselves, and in the end, it looked like Gary's deal had worked.
There was one problem, though, and that was trying to avoid breaking the vow. However, Kai was pretty adamant that Midwak wouldn't do such a thing. If there was anyone afraid of losing their powers, it was him, and since nothing had happened, it seemed to be true.
"Lucky for you, Marie," Olivia patted her on the back. "You will never have to feel the lust and pain to consume someone, unlike the rest of us."
After the attack and seeing that they were all okay, the group discussed the events. What surprised them was the news that Innu had shared about the things Edvard was capable of.
"There's still no way to confirm whether or not what you two faced was a vampire," Kai replied. "I wanted to talk to Midwak about it, to get his thoughts, but I'm unsure if that's the right thing to do."
"Honestly, mind control abilities, superior strength to a werewolf, speed, and red eyes? On top of that, they knew about werewolves. Although we only have fictional information on vampires, I would say most of it points to your guess being right."
"However, Innu has gone now, and so has the head of the Altered Association. There was no trouble from him even after knowing that you two were vampires. Which means I can only assume that we weren't their target, and perhaps the other werewolf group was."
"I guess it would make sense for someone like the head to know about werewolves as well," Marie added. "Still, all of this is getting crazy. I can't believe so much is happening from when we were just in school."
"In my mind, based on what he said to you, Olivia, there might be something else we have to worry about eventually. His warning was that we weren't strong enough to deal with the Kings of the North." Kai said.
"If 'Kings' is referring to those who control the Tier One cities, then we can assume the Kings in the North are the other werewolves, as in the other Alphas," Kai stated.
Marie looked deep into Kai's eyes when he said those words. Was there something about the Kings of the North that Kai was interested in? Was it just the fact that they were other werewolves? Either way, she could see the look in his eyes, someone who was ready for a fight.
