Chapter 348: Clever Wolf

If Kai had known beforehand how much the process of being turned into a Werewolf would hurt, the teenager might have been far less eager to go through with it. He was no stranger to pain, but even if he were to add up every single painful experience throughout his life, it would still pale in comparison to the change that had started after Gary's Alpha Bite.

After what felt like multiple lifetimes, the pain had eventually subsided, only to be replaced by an overwhelming sense of hunger. His stomach was growling in protest, demanding to be filled as it started to emanate an entirely different kind of pain. Fortunately, his nose informed him that a source of food was already nearby.

Without losing a moment to think about it, Kai bent the metal bars of the cell that had held the two teenagers and followed the scent. Behind the door, one lone Underdogs member was busy staring at his phone. The moment he looked up, Kai was already in front of him, using one hand to claw at his chest, while holding his mouth shut with the other. The man died without being able to let out more than a whimper.

Then he feasted. Before the teenager had even realised what he had done, his meal had lost both its arms. Now satisfied, he felt compelled to make sure that Gary was taken care off, yet he could feel that this was more than just his own thoughts. Nevertheless, he did what he felt was right and fed the green-haired teenager with the corpse's extremities.

Part of him was surprised to see that Gary managed to eat it in his clearly unconscious state. The moment Kai had held a leg in front of the other teenager's mouth, he chomped down on it, and it disappeared as if the Alpha Werewolf's mouth had been a black hole.

Kai briefly wondered whether this was a normal reaction, or if this was a conditioned response due to the bloody smell, which he himself found appetising now. Still, he knew that he should not waste time here. He made sure to free his friend from the chains, not forgetting to pick up his mother's knife.

On his way out of the abandoned police station, the Underdogs member that tried to stop him, became Kai's unwilling test subjects, allowing him to get more used to his new body. Things that had taken Gary weeks to learn, Kai had picked up on in around an hour.

Kai had to admit, this kind of body was amazing. Were it not for the gruesome torture-like transformation that had really made him wish for death more than once, he might even be mad at Gary for not having turned all the Howlers ages ago. Ever since the day his mother and Simon had died, Kaihad trained his body to the best of its capabilities, yet… he was now easily able to surpass his former limit without even trying.

Unfortunately, not everything was great. For one, he found out that part of him prevented him from using outright lethal attacks against the gang members… though it didn't take him long to find a way around it.

Kai also quickly discovered that the more enraged he became, the more his body would change in turn. There was an easy trigger for Damion's son, something that would always get him angry, and that was remembering the scene that was haunting his nightmares… the last moments of Eleanor Hamper's life.

“Use your weapons against Altered!” One of the men in the back shouted, as he fired the bolts from his crossbow. With his enhanced vision, Kai was able to avoid both bolts as he darted from right to left.

'The other crossbows were firing three bolts. That number seems to be the limit to the weapon, so there should be at least one more before I will have a break.' Kai analysed the situation.

The next second, he could see the third one coming towards him, while at the same time, the one who had used the weapon had started reloading the weapon. Seeing this as an opportunity, Kai focused on his legs, and suddenly his shoes ripped apart as long nails appeared.

Spinning his body, the Werewolf hit the long body part of the bolt, kicking it off course and right onto another person that was approaching him with a strange orb looking weapon with a rounded end. It looked a bit like a spear, but Kai wasn't willing to find out what would happen if he touched it.

The man was electrified by the bolt that pierced his chest, falling to the ground.

'Seriously, Gary, it feels unfair that you kept this to yourself all this time.' Kai thought, happy to be able to accomplish things with his body he would only have been able to dream about.

“Were you just playing with me, so that I would throw you in with your buddy?” Damion asked, now holding both axes in his hands, the smile on his face gone. “I don't know how you did it, unless… could it be…? Were you behind this whole thing in the first place? Did you pay off Greeny to bring you the package? Shit, if I had known that there was enough stuff in it to turn more than one person, I would have used it on myself!”

This was normal to think, as an Altered turning others into Altered was never heard of before.

“You know, when I gave you one of these axes, I did it because I considered you to have come one step closer to succeeding me as the leader of the Underdogs. I didn't think I would have to use them to take you out with them. Oh well… I bet if I hand two of you over to them, my reward will be even greater.”

While his father was rambling, the other gang members managed to get in some type of formation to surround Kai. At the front of the circle, they held out their large Anti-Altered weapons that had the sparks at the end.

A couple of the crossbow users were now standing on top of cars, pointing their weapons towards him, then in between, there were those that had the most lethal weapons, swords, clubs, and spiked weapons.

Nevertheless, the one he was most looking out for was none other than Damion himself.

'Did I grow overconfident after learning of my powers… no, I can still do this.' Kai thought, as he saw one of the inner circle members thrust his spears forward.

Moving his leg as fast as he could, Kai kicked the head of the spear through the round part. The weight and power of the kick caused it to crash into the others, but the second the Werewolf's foot had touched the end, the teenager's whole body experienced an electric shock going through it.

Soon, he felt another prod him in the back, with the spark travelling throughout his body. In anger, Kai grabbed the spear end behind him, and lifted it up with all his strength, in doing so the man was also lifted into the air, before being swung at the end and crashing into the others.

Now Kai had one of the Anti-Altered weapons in his hand, he was planning to use it against the others, that was until he felt himself being hit in the side by three bolts at once. The shock was larger this time, and the fur on his arms was reverting slightly, as he was losing strength.

'Damn it, just who gave them access to so many of these nasty weapons?!'

“Stop hiding behind your men! Why don't you fight me on your own, you coward?!” Kai shouted towards his father, who had yet to do anything.

“Do you think it's fair for a normal human like me to go up against an Altered like you?” Damion questioned Kai, shaking his head. In the meantime, a few more bolts were shot towards Kai, yet mid-air, something wrapped around them, before retracting back like a toad's tongue.

A few clangs were heard as they fell on the ground. Turning their heads, the Underdogs members could see two figures run towards them. Leaping up in the air, they landed right in front of Kai.

“Gary… Olivia.” Kai said, unsure what else to say. He was curious to find out how they had found him, since he had only told Olivia the address of the abandoned police station, but that question would have to wait for later.

Gary pulled out the bolts from Kai's body, allowing him to heal a bit. “Looks like I'm not the only one who rushes head on into things without asking for backup.”

Smiling, Gary stood up and looked at Damion, who seemed to be thrown in with anger.

“I don't think, this many against one person is fair, either.” Gary stated. “You know, Damion, I don't think you're fully aware of what you're dealing with.”

Hearing this, Damion couldn't help but let out a scoff laugh. “Do you really think it makes a difference how many of you losers show up? Even if all three of you were Altered, it wouldn't make a difference.”

Now, it was Gary's turn to smirk. “You might be right… if we were your everyday Altered that is. There is something you should know about us wolves, we always hunt in packs!”
