Chapter 241 - An Alpha Wolf Is Born
Chapter 241 – An Alpha Wolf Is Born
Recently there had been a few times where Gary had thought about turning others. There was perhaps a chance when Mr Root was in critical condition, turning him would have saved his life. In the end, Mr Root's condition stabilised and he seemed to be recovering at the hospital.
Perhaps it was because of what had happened with Mr Root he thought the same outcome would have happened with Stacy. Now he felt like he had made the wrong decision. Turning her to save her might have been the right choice.
At the same time, being in this business, they were bound to run into more Alterds or things like the red-haired twins. Gary wasn’t the only one in the gang and already the others had put their lives on the line.
Which meant more strength for everyone was a plus, Gary could see it every time he talked to Kai, it was at the tip of his tongue he wanted to ask him, why not turn him?
A Werewolf and an Altered were different, and from fantasy books and more, there were many that knew a difference between the two. Gary was in fact a Werewolf not an Altered, the test by the White Rose agents proved that. Unlike the Altered this power that Gary had could be passed on to others as well.
When thinking about why Gary had hesitated in the past, the main reason would have been Billy, but Billy was the first and unstable. He didn’t even know he was a werewolf until later on the line.
The real reason why Gary had yet to consider turning others was because he had no information.
Knowledge, he had no knowledge what would happen to others that he turned, what it meant to accept them into his Pack, and whether or not he could control them during a full moon. The one thing he didn’t want to do, was test this on those he wanted to save. This was why at this point and time, Gary had come up with an idea.
A person whose life he didn’t care about had fallen right onto his lap, and she was the perfect test subject to see just what it actually meant to turn someone.
His teeth sunk down into the back of Olivia’s neck and she started to scream in pain. The sound travelled far and wide that the bottom floor might have heard her yell, but it soon stopped. It took Gary everything to stop himself from continuing to bite on her body due to the energy he had lost before, but he held out and pulled his mouth away.
The second he let go of Olivia her body started shaking on the floor. Her veins were popping all over her neck as something inside felt like it was ripping her apart.
‘If she proves to be too much trouble, I’ll kill her and get the Pawn point anyway. I’ll give her until the next full moon which is in two weeks. That’s if she survives this.’
Judging by how much she was wriggling about and in pain, how blood shot her eyes were, Gary wasn’t too sure if every single person could survive such a thing, but eventually the system screen had appeared.
[You have successfully created a Beta Werewolf]
[Grade: Pawn]
‘A beta wolf, not an Omega wolf? So it’s different from Billy?’
[ Werewolves created by the user can only be at the same Grade or Below as the creator. Werewolf created that are Grade lower will automatically join the Pack. Werewolves created at the same Grade will turn into Omega wolves.]
When Gary first bit Billy, he himself was only a Pawn Grade Werewolf. Which meant no matter who he turned they would always become an Omega wolf, but this time it was different since now Gary was a knight.
[An Omega wolf must be submit or be defeated before joining the Pack]
Gary knew this was true because the option to invite Billy into his Pack had appeared after defeating him.
[Congratulations, your state has now changed]
[Omega Werewolf – Alpha Werewolf]
[Alpha Werewolf title will now be applied]
[Please select a name for your Pack]
It looked like Gary couldn’t do anything else until he picked a name, nor see information from the system. He wanted to know what benefits this title had, as he was sure there were some as stated the time before.
Looking through the screen he could see that Olivia seemed to be somewhat passed out on the ground, but she was clearly alive as he could hear a heartbeat. Which meant he had time to mess around with the system for a little while longer.
[The Howlers]
Gary chose this name since it was already the name of their current gang, he thought it was fine to call his Pack the same as well. Having two names would just confuse him anyway.
[The Howlers Pack has successfully been created]
[Current members]
[Alpha Werewolf – Gary Dem]
[Grade: Knight]
[Beta Werewolf – Olivia Pearl]
[Grade: Pawn]
[The Luna position is currently empty]
[A Luna wolf holds the same position as the Alpha wolf but the position can only be filled by a female. Having a Luna in the Pack will create more benefits for the entire Pack.]
[There is currently no one suitable for the Luna position. The Luna wolf must be at the same grade as the Alpha wolf]
So much information about this Pack stuff was coming to Gary at once, as it seemed like what he thought he knew about the system was only the tip of the whole thing.
‘So that means that Olivia can also increase her grade somehow and then fulfil this Lunar position. But if I’m reading this correctly it would mean she held a position similar to that of an Alpha, kind of like a sub captain on a team. That I definitely don’t want.’
For a split second, the image of another girl appeared in his head who he thought might do well to fit the position.
[Werewolves can increase their Grades but are unable to grow to a grade beyond that of their Alpha.]
Only now Gary was starting to understand how important the Pawn point was. If he was able to upgrade himself, then all those under him could grow as well. He still was unsure if there were other benefits though to going up a grade.
‘System since you seem to be awfully chatty today. I was wondering, does this mean that they can create other Werewolves as well?’
[Werewolves can create other Werewolves, but they will only produce Werewolves a grade lower than themselves. Pawn Grade Werewolves are not able to create other Werewolves. All Werewolves created by them will automatically enter the Pack.]
‘Huh, but then what about me?’ At least it looked like Olivia wouldn’t be able to turn people for now, but what the system stated then made no sense to him.
Gary waited for an answer but no such thing had occurred. He wondered if increasing the Grade did anything else. For now, it looked like it was just a way to control other Werewolves and to get strong Omega Werewolves to join his Pack.
What was the benefit of that though, unless Gary was to create his own Werewolf army unless that’s exactly what the system wanted him to do?
‘I’m starting to worry a little bit..is there someone else with the same system as me? I did get it from that suitcase after all. Or if there are other Werewolves they probably already have people under them growing their forces.
‘It’s a little scary to think that way. It’s almost as if a Werewolf belongs to another Pack, then that immediately makes you their enemy. Is that why the system is focusing on this aspect so much?’
In the middle of his thoughts. The system came up with one more notification.
[The Beta Werewolves will always follow the Order of the Alpha Werewolf]
[Once in a Pack, one can not leave without the permission of the Alpha Werewolf]
[Werewolves are able to challenge for the position of the Alpha once a month regardless of their rank]
[There is an exception to all rules, and that is on the day which the moon is at its strongest]
The last line worried Gary quite a bit. Was it saying on the day of the full moon, Werewolves were just wild beasts? Even if he ordered them to do nothing they would still hunt anyway?
‘I guess I really might have to get rid of her before then..or lock her up or something?’ Gary thought.
[Please state the five absolute rules for the Pack, that all Werewolves must follow.]
[Even when the Alpha is not present, all Wolves in the Howlers all be forced to obey these rules.]
[The rules do not apply to the Alpha.]
[The rules may be adjusted whenever the Alpha wishes through the system.]
A big smile appeared on Gary’s face as he thought of this, this was the safety net that Gary needed. When defeating Billy, he read that the beta Wolf had to do the Alpha wolf's bidding, but he was worried.
What if he wasn’t there, did this mean he would have to keep an eye on Olivia at all times? If that was the case she could try to stab him in the back in other ways, even though she was a beta wolf.
He still needed to know just how absolute these rules were, but he could test that. After all, she was his experiment for all of this.
‘The question is, what should I have as the rules?’
