Gary was hesitating on whether he should accept Blake’s offer. Billy was his responsibility, and he hated the thought that his friends might get involved. The fact that the Omega wolf had attacked them still haunted the teenager, especially since it had boiled down to dumb luck that none of them had gotten killed that night.
However, Blake was different from the rest. In the first place, he was an Altered Hunter, belonging to a group of people who risked their lives to kill Altered on...

After Gary had told Blake that the two of them needed to talk about something, they had made their way outside to the bench next to the art block. This time, the green haired teenager was the only one to sit down, while the young Altered Hunter insisted on standing.
“Oi! Earth to Blake, are you here with me?” Gary waved his hand in front of the other high schooler’s face. “Is everything alright with you? Were you out and about with your Dad yesterday or something? You...

Hanging outside the school window sill wasn’t exactly a normal thing that students did these days, yet Blake had done exactly that. The high schooler had done so out of great concern for his fel- …No, he had done so because it was his duty as an Altered Hunter who was worried about an Altered possibly being at his school!
Seeing White Rose agents at their school meant that there could be even worse things roaming around the school than Gary. Which was why he needed to act...

However, before Gary could ask about that day, Marie surprised him with a question of her own.
“Are you an idiot?”
Now the high schooler was really confused. One moment, Marie had been thanking him, yet the very next she was insulting him?
“I’m sorry, that came out wrong. I just don’t get how you can not get scared in these situations. Back then, the black colour gang members seriously outnumbered you. There was also a good chance that everyone could have jumped yo...

The Wolf’s Pool Club was finally open for business, yet it was hard to say whether it was a success. The place was busy, and Gary was hardly able to catch a break as he was busy serving people and answering their questions. There was a good flow of income coming in at the same time.
The reason Gary found it difficult to call it a successful opening or not, was because ninety percent of the customers were from Austin’s school. At first, when some of them arrived, they had ...

Today was Sunday, and in the past, Gary would have slept in until close to noon. However, today he had woken up at 7 AM sharp. The teenager had gotten used to waking up early ever since his mother got hospitalised, so that he could prepare Amy some breakfast… even though it was usually just a sandwich or some cereal.
As usual, the first thing on his morning ritual’s agenda was to check his Status.

Coming back after a short while, Tom was surprised to see that the chains were all still intact and that his best friend stood there butt naked. He deliberately avoided gazing around a certain area of Gary’s, instead hurrying to unlock all the locks.
“So what happened?” Tom asked. “Wait, before you tell me, please change into these!”
Fortunately, one of them had actually prepared a set of extra clothes.
As soon as he put on the boxers, Gary ran in a cert...

The preparations were complete and with a few tugs it looked like Gary was secure.
“I’m not so sure about this, Gary, you broke out of my parents' storage unit with ease. I’m worried you might be able to break out of this one as well.” Tom shared his concerns.
“It won't be like last time.” Gary stated confidently. “I’m not sure how to explain it, but I feel weaker now that the full moon has passed. I should still be able to use its power to transform me, but it sho...

A week has passed, and eventually the next weekend had arrived. There wasn’t as much worry on Gary's mind as there usually would be. For one, he had around three more weeks until the next full moon, then the condition of his mother had also stabilised, and while it hadn’t improved, at least it hadn’t worsened either.

Right now, Gary couldn’t help but feel a little awkward when trying to approach Kai. As such, he believed his next best bet would be to ask the two women that seemed to always be by his side. In a way, their background was just as mysterious as his.
Slowly, Gary inched his way over to the bar, cleaning away from where Austin was. Here, Marie had taken a break and was currently sitting on a stool with a notepad out. The high school girl also had her phone out, and from what he could se...

Gary’s head was sulking down and for some reason he was finding it incredibly hard to take another step forward. The teenager stood outside the boarded up place that the group had recently taken ownership of.
As for why he was unable to walk forward, that was something Gary didn’t know himself. Perhaps it was because he was avoiding seeing a certain someone.
‘Why? … why do I feel so guilty?’ The green haired teenager wondered, clenching his two fists.

Kai was watching his underclassman carefully, assuming that Gary might intend to switch the tube out or something at some point, but seeing him do nothing was causing sweat to run down his face. Seeing the blonde teenager so nervous only strengthened Sadie’s belief that they had caught their suspect.

Kai had gone around the back of Gary and was gripping tightly onto the chair. It was a clear sign that he had been backed into a corner. This was the first time he had ever heard of something like the
‘Altered Investigation Force Act’, so of course he had nothing prepared to counter that. When coming in, he had been hoping that he could use his meagre legal knowledge to get his friend out of this situation.
Seeing that Kai was speechless, Gary could only assume that w...

After Blake deliberated whether he should try to go via the vent he had at his disposal to try and listen in to what was happening, in the end the young Altered Hunter decided to go with his original idea. He looked outside to make sure there were no students out there, but luckily the teachers’ lounge, as well as the printer room, were facing away from the main road. He was worried people would think he was falling and shout out towards him, revealing his location or worse creat...

Having a White Rose agent read him his rights just stressed the fact that Gary was in a very serious situation. He wasn’t sure whether to be happy or not that the two were pursuing things the legal way and that included the recording in front of him. Just as Tom had said, they seemed to be treating him as a suspect… The only question was for what? Was this about Billy… or something else entirely?

When Gary heard his name, his heart immediately started to beat more rapidly. It was making him worry that with all this added pressure that he might suffer from heart problems one day, but perhaps being a Werewolf would make him immune to that.
It would have been one thing if they had been looking for a ‘green haired teenager’, but the two White Rose agents had specifically called him out by name, which of course had led to everyone turning around and staring at him. Gary didn’t ...

More and more often, Gary found himself being put in situations that forced him to lie because the truth was just too bizarre and there were things he needed to hide no matter what. Making matters even worse, he had more than one secret and all of the people around him only knew certain parts or had been lied to in regards to others.

It was then that Gary attempted to lift Austin at that moment. The loner could feel this, but he could only laugh at that idea.

Seeing Gary charge in, Austin stretched his arms out wide, and held them by his side, waiting for Gary’s next move, which turned out to be a thigh kick he had practised with Innu countless times. Alas, once again, at the perfect time, Austin whacked the green haired teenager’s foot away, almost parrying it, and stepped forward, quickly throwing a fist of his own aimed at Gary’s stomach.

After their impromptu meal, they drove on and soon reached a part of town that wasn’t in the best of shapes. It was between the borders of Chavley and Cipher, two territories belonging to two different gangs, making it a problematic area. Most of the fighting between the two colour gangs would be in this area, meaning any type of night business would struggle.
The car had eventually stopped outside what looked like a boarded up bar. The windows had hard cardboard covering t...

Leaving the venue the group returned to the car where Marie's mother was busy waiting for them. The middle-aged woman had stayed behind the whole time, though it would seriously surprise Gary if she was unaware of what was going on at such a place.

Garys’s arm was still extended out in a punching position, his head facing the floor. All the training he had done, it was so short that he had almost forgotten it in the fight, but still somehow he was able to pull it off. In a way, Gary was expecting for something to happen, for his opponent to get back up, but before even lifting his head something else happened.

Unlike a few moments ago when Gary had been hit and had fallen to the ground, this time the crowd went silent for a few seconds. Watching the whole fight, it had been obvious that the Vicious Twins were the ones winning the fight so far.
