Giving Back The Black Sword

It had been a while since Gary and Blake had a moment to talk, just the two of them. Their relationship had always been a little unusual. Blake was an Altered Hunter, and Gary was not only a Werewolf, but one of the strongest out there. By all rights, they weren’t supposed to stand on the same side.

But somehow… they did.

Gary had expected to see Blake later at the Wolf’s Pool Club, along with the rest of the group. So when he showed up at his apartment door, Gary couldn’t help but wonder why.

Still, without hesitation, Gary opened the door.

“Blake,” he greeted, stepping aside and motioning him in. “Didn’t expect to see you here, but come on in. Edvard’s here too, by the way, but you two already know each other, so it’s fine… right?” he added with a slightly nervous smile.

“Actually,” Blake said, walking right past him, “I came here because I wanted to see Edvard.”
