Howlers Fall Apart (Part 2)

Kai continued to sob, and it didn’t look like he was going to stop anytime soon. But at the very least, he wasn’t trying to run anymore.

The group decided it was best to return to the manor and sort things out from there. On either side of Kai walked Austin and Innu, silently escorting him back.

Both of them were strong, and importantly, not Werewolves. It had been Gary’s decision to assign them this task.

Even if the others hadn’t fully realized it yet… something felt off. Meeting a Werewolf from another pack triggered something instinctual. Gary didn’t want anyone making a move they’d regret.

More than anything, Gary wanted Kai to feel safe, to feel at ease. But how could he, when he was being escorted like a criminal?

As they walked, Gary’s fists were clenched tight by his sides. His knuckles had turned white.

I shouldn’t have left everything to Kai, he thought bitterly. I should’ve stayed awake… I should’ve kept watch over everyone!
