“Uhmm…I am sorry, but I am quite busy right now. I think you have the wrong person.” Adrian replied as he must play hard to get because it would be suspicious if he agreed right away.
“Do not worry as I will not harm you. I heard the story that you told those has-beens and I could not help but notice the deep sadness you portrayed when you told your story.” The hooded individual stated as she showed her face to Adrian.
The hooded individual is actually a woman who has short unkept brown hair. She also has brown eyes and the aura of ferocity that every werewolf possess. It is further accentuated by the small scar on her eyebrow and a horizonal scar on her nose.
“My name is Nikita, and I was once like you, but I succeeded in taking my revenge with the guidance of my Alpha. You are now a lone wolf without direction, and you need an Alpha to guide in the right path.” Nikita stated.
“But those three that I went hunting with are doing fine despite not having an alpha.” Adrian replied.
“That is why I told you that they are has-beens. They will become old and die in this small village, but you are still young. You can have a glorious future and become a figure that many like you can look up to.” Nikita proudly stated.
“Wow! She is like those networking scammers that praise and tell you of the future but in the end, it would be you who do the hard work.” Adrian thought as he kept a straight face.
“I know that you came to me with good intentions, but I cannot trust someone without proof arbitrarily. I want to know that I am not being led astray because the three hunters before told me to be careful of your group.” Adrian replied.
“I know that trust is not earned in a day so let me tell you that we will have a gathering this evening. Even our Alpha will be there to see our progress. It will be held deep in the forest so meet me here after the sun sets. If you become one of us, then you will not need to endure humiliation of being a servant boy.” Nikita stated as she bid farewell.
Adrian and the other two went to the inn to discuss what they are going to do next. They can finally verify if the Alpha really does have intentions of starting a war between species. They gathered at the room that Adrian rented.
“What did you guys observe from their hunt earlier? I am sure that you noticed something strange right?” Adrian asked as he does not want to go in blind.
“It seems like they treated the hunt earlier as training. They did not look very powerful as they are in the early hundreds, but I noticed that they did not stop despite being injured.” Solstice commented.
“I also noticed that it was odd that they were pushing themselves to the point that they do not care about their injuries. I know that we werewolves have amazing regeneration, but it is still slow to the point that we need respite every time we are heavily injured.” Lycan added.
“The way her recruitment sounded is very alluring though as she is focusing on the point that I can be better but the only way she proposed for that to happen is joining them. It reminds of those people who do pyramid scams. They tell you the supposed future but not the process to get there.” Adrian replied as he has experience talking to those types of people.
“You have nothing to lose anyway as you will just be there to see if they are really planning an uprising.” Lycan stated. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚
“I am not afraid, but I am a bit concerned because she had that confident look that I will join their group no matter what.” Adrian replied.”
“That is because unlike your race, those above us are rather magnetic to the common people of our race. I noticed it as for vampires, it is the purebloods while for the werewolves it is the Alphas.” Solstice commented.
“It seems that werewolves and vampires coming from the same ancestor is becoming true. Our two species might be more identical than we thought.” Lycan stated as he grabbed Solstice’ hand.
“I am actually surprised that you two have yet to go on an actual date.” Adrian replied as he stood up and activated Soul Form Transformation on the two once more before heading out to meet Nikita. 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t
Nikita stayed true to her words and waited or Adrian. Both entered the forest without any hindrances and Adrian did not have to have his head covered so that he does not know where they gather. It just goes to show that Nikita is extremely confident that Adrian will join their cause.
Soon, a light from afar could be seen and they arrived in an area where there is a relatively large campfire. There was about twenty people surrounding the campfire and they all bowed towards Adrian’s direction. They did not bow before Adrian but to the person next to him which is Nikita.
“It seems that she is quite special in this group of people. She could even be one of the betas that the alpha trusts seeing as she basically worships that person.” Adrian thought as he introduced himself to the others.
“It is nice to meet you all. My name is Fang and I hope you treat me well. I am still not sure if I should join but Nikita told me that this group can make me powerful. I hope it exceeds my expectation.” Adrian stated. The other people did not speak to Adrian and just nodded to acknowledge his existence.
“Do not worry. They will warm up to you once you really decide to join us. Welcome to your First Howling. Here you can just be yourself and become free from the judgement of society.” Nikita said to defend the cold welcome that Adrian received.
