Leaving The Howlers

It was clear, from the tone of the conversation and the way it had been heading, that Marie had already made up her mind. She had been wrestling with the decision for a long time, and now, she had voiced it, plainly and firmly, to everyone, including Kai.

It wasn’t a decision made lightly.

And in the end, Kai knew when a fight was already lost. He stopped trying to change her mind.

“Alright,” Kai finally said, exhaling. “I agree. But only on two conditions. First, I won’t be bringing any other Werewolves into the pack. Not from the Howlers or anywhere else. I made a promise, and I intend to keep it. I won’t undo everything we’ve worked to build.”

He looked directly at Gary before continuing.

“Only Marie will be moving over. And the second condition, she only joins me if Gary gives his permission.”
