After his trip to Ruin City, Dean returned to the lab to continue his work with Rickle. Their projects didn’t always require Dean to be around Rickle constantly.
Sometimes, there were even weeks between projects that involved stopping the vampires and werewolves from colliding. Rickle, after all, was a founder of NIRV, and they still had multiple projects to work on. It made Dean wonder if Rickle ever slept.
So, returning after a day or two w...

The scene continued to play in Dean’s head from the moment just before he left the pack. How he and his brother had come close to trading blows.
Sure, they had fought physically many times as kids, with Lupus always being the victor. When they got older, though, that had stopped.
Both of their strengths were far too mighty to just have a simple scuffle without seriously hurting the other.
It was because of this that, now that...

In order to meet his brother, there was really only one place that Dean could go, and that was Ruin City—the area where his brother had remained, along with the rest of the pack.
Unlike before, Ruin City was now an actual city where many people lived; it had grown in size and had an unusual quirk compared to others.
This allowed Dean to easily enter, and he was stunned by the sights he could see: how the city had integrated large parks and cy...

The fight between the vampires and werewolf races had been recorded throughout history. The stories were passed down from Alpha to Alpha, and from Advisor to Advisor.
In the case of the current Lupus clan, they had heard of the history from their own father and the only other person that was extremely well-versed in these matters was Galark.
The current right-hand man of Lupus. A certain individual in the pack would usually be appointed as the ...

Receiving the call from Rickle, Dean had left his home almost immediately. He had only taken a small backpack filled with just enough to last him five days or so.
Then in his wallet he carried a photo of his family all out together at a fast-food restaurant. Gary’s mouth was covered in ketchup, while Amy was pointing and laughing as a child.
Dean himself had a disgruntled look while Maya had a beautiful smile, she was laughing at the whole situat...

When Dean had first left the NIRV facility, almost every day he was expecting a call any second. At times he even felt phantom rings but there were no missed calls. As time went on, he forgot about the phone but had gotten into the habit of charging it once a week in order to receive a call.
When he had met Maya, his anxiety and fear of having the call come someday had come back. He imagined that the peace and happiness he had achieved he would have to leave.

Dean couldn’t quite believe what he was staring at. It was a moving rug, but not just any rug—it looked like it was the fur from his very body. Now, the feeling of his skin being ripped off him like the night of his first transformation made complete sense.
As the rug continued to move, strange devices from above the ceiling quickly descended. They started to zap the fur several times with different lasers and all sorts of tools. It reminded Dean a lo...

Now that the two had acknowledged what they were, Dean had noticed that the experiments had taken a slight turn. Rather than poking and prodding him, the experiments were more about Dean giving a lecture.
He recounted the history that was passed down to him, and explained the intricacies of the werewolf world, including their lives and customs. All of the data was being inputted into a tablet, and even his voice was being recorded.
At tim...

The experiments in the lab continued as normal. This time, there were a few more pricks and prods into Dean’s skin, draws of blood, and even more experiments. Usually, he would ignore a lot of the pain.
For one, he was used to it, and because he was a Werewolf, it wasn’t as painful as the first time turning when their fur practically ripped through their skin.
This process would be repeated a few times until eventually, the skin would no longer be ripped ...

Dean came into NIRV knowing that sacrifices would have to be made. After all, he had next to nothing to offer the researcher, nothing in terms of payment for helping him. In the worst case, he would have to force the researcher, but that was something Dean wanted to avoid.
Luckily, the researcher seemed to be interested in the project and, in return, was just asking for conditions.
‘I have no choice. I either have to fight against my brother ...

Dean felt lucky that he had run into one of the founders of NIRV. Through his research, he had found that there were three individuals who had founded the corporation and brought it to what it was today, and now he was with one of them.
On top of that, out of the three founders, this one in particular was a researcher, the man who was said to have discovered how to create an Altered from beast fossils in the first place.

It was clear that the guard wasn’t used to using the baton. When swinging it and the baton started to electrify, he turned his head away and held it by the edge, afraid he was going to get hurt.
The entirety of Dean’s body lit up, and all the workers who were coming in and out of the place turned their attention to the commotion that had occurred inside. Although they had many people come in, it wasn’t every day something like this would happen.

Dean had a plan, but it was a very loose one. If anything, he just wanted to get out of his brother's sight in case he changed his mind. Perhaps the longer he stayed with the pack and talked amongst the others, the more they would have convinced him that it was something unavoidable.
It was hard for Dean; he had practically left not only his family but everyone he grew up with, and the town he had grown up in. Ironically, if it was up to him, he would have made it ...

Dean looked straight into his brother’s eyes when those words were spoken. It was the look that Dean had been afraid of, the look he had been worried about for a long time.
“I’m not,” Dean answered almost immediately. “I have spoken just as I have always spoken. I am just passing on what our father would have wished.”
“Our father?” Lupus replied. “Whenever we speak, you always go back to him. It’s almost as if you're trying to pul...

Although Dean had all of these thoughts running through his head, he had never once asked his brother how he felt. When the two of them would meet up, they would continue as if things were normal.
But that was the thing, for Dean, he wasn’t sure if things were just playing in his head, but it felt like they were just pretending things were normal, as if they were acting and it wasn’t their true feelings.
That was when a big occurrence happened in...

Dean was already on edge with everything happening. His head was hurting, he was afraid, scared, worried, and a mix of emotions were running through him, but he didn’t want to fight. That was never his intention; it was the last thing he wanted to do in this situation.
Yet, when he was attacked by the guards who had seen him every day, with whom he grew up, his anger came to the forefront. He swiftly avoided the attack and grabbed one by the neck.

The headache that had plagued Dean’s mind at his desk had only lasted a small moment. He truly thought it was nothing to worry about, and as he got through more piles of paperwork for the entire pack and Lupus gang, he stood up and started to stretch his legs slightly.
He walked around the large office space as he would do to keep the blood flowing, but as he reached the door, his nose started to tingle. He took a couple of sniffs in the air.

Up close, with Dean seeing his brother's eye color, he realized there had been a change in the two of them, a change in status, but having grown up together and living side by side, it was impossible to just start acting differently.
It was the same for Lupus as well, which was why Lupus was having a private meeting with just the two of them to begin with.
“You know what, I’m going to make your dream come true,” Lupus said. “I can chang...

Ruin City, a while ago, wasn’t much to look at. There were remnants of buildings above that allowed people to imagine what a city was like around a thousand years ago. Old bricks, columns, and structures had lasted through time.
People would visit the city, which was currently nothing more than an attraction site, for just a few hours or so. It was nice to go through the ruins and then over to the cliff to look out.
The one standing structure...

Gary was blinking rapidly, processing the last line from his father. In just a few moments of conversation, he had learned a lot that sounded unbelievable. But to hear the final revelation...
“Wait, are you saying... Lupus, the current Alpha, the current King of Ruin City, is also your older brother, which would mean he’s currently my uncle?” Gary asked.
Dean nodded slowly, confirming Gary’s thoughts. An uncle he had never met, a life he ...

The last line from Gary’s father; he had heard it before himself, or at least in some form. One of them was from the system quest; once he became a King Grade, it was almost as if it would initiate a quest between the two of them.
Then there was also the deal that Gary had made during the ritual: within 5 years, he would take out Lupus and his group. He didn’t know why, or who he was talking to, but he knew one ...

The words spoken from Dean’s mouth had repeated in Gary’s head, and with that single phrase, it instantly caught his attention. It proved that his father knew a lot about what was going on, and probably was the only person who could give them answers.
Although many knew the truth about Gary being a Werewolf and the matters revolving around it, not everyone knew about the system he had in place. The system that told him what to do, how to get stronger, and h...

When Gary’s father had left them as a child, he didn’t really understand what had happened at the time. He hardly remembered his father’s face, only a few images of him here and there.
It was hard for him to have hatred for a person he didn’t really know, but slowly, as the situation in their family got worse, and he saw his mother struggle, he started to resent the person that had left them.
He frequently would go to school where parents would help e...

The Wolf’s Pool Club was one of the places that had changed the most in Slough. It hadn’t been affected by the fight against the Phoenix gang. There was no reason for it to be.
People weren’t in it at the time of the attack, and apart from a broken sign or so from rioting from the nearby gangs, there wasn’t much else to fix. Regardless, Kai had decided to use quite a bit of extra funds to rehash the place.
After all, the Wolf’s Pool Club was the sec...
