Gary was getting ready to head over to his other plans. He was going to talk to Olivia, as well as Marie, who were both Werewolves. Although he trusted Olivia less, he felt like they had somewhat been through enough life-and-death situations together to the point where he could trust her now, at least when it came to matters involving that of the gang. On top of that, she had been in charge of running a gang for the longest time. When it came to tricky business situations, he knew that she and Kai would talk things through together and deal with the situation. His biggest worry was always her trying to challenge him for the Alpha seat, but that had never occurred, so was it really something he had to worry about if she did become Luna? In the middle of his stride, though, Tom had mentioned something interesting, something very interesting. "The Alpha’s bite… what do you mean?" Gary asked. Tom straightened himself, as he got ready to say these words the right way, in order to explain everything clearly. "You know, your dad and Rickle, the two of them went through a lot. They went through a large number of experiments while your dad was a Werewolf," Tom stated. "As a researcher myself, the number of things they tested, I can’t imagine what they had gone through." "One of these things they had tested was the bite of an Alpha, and just what type of effect it would have when used on an Altered." At this point, Gary’s eyebrow was already raised toward the moon. He had bitten several Altered, hadn’t he? When he was in the prison, he had even bitten Harvor during the fight, but he never seemed to notice anything before. "I know what you’re thinking, but they sent me the data. The effects of a bite aren’t instant, but all Altered, when bitten, they eventually start to lose their powers. The process is different for all of them, but for some, it takes a week, for some, it takes longer, but it gets to the point where they can no longer transform." At that moment, Gary felt like his eyes had been peeled open. Why hadn’t he been made aware of this situation before? Couldn’t he have done things differently in the situations that he had handled already? Did they have to go through what they had been through if that was the case? When Gary thought about it further, though, there were far too many situations he had been pulled into where he had to fight or die. So it wasn’t as if he had time to wait. "That’s pretty crazy to find out. I wonder what it is about a Werewolf’s or an Alpha’s bite that allows it to work like that. Is it a permanent thing?" Gary asked. Tom shook his head in response. "So this is where things get a little tricky. The assumption is, when you bite them, whatever process normally occurs when you’re changing somebody is occurring in an Altered. The only thing is, it doesn’t end up working, and instead fights off the Altered cells in their body." "In the end, though, it fails to turn them, and the result is a loss of their powers temporarily. Soon after, they don’t turn, but they get their powers back. However, in the testing, they found something else out as well." "A second bite at the right time. When the powers of the Altered are lost, that is prime time for a second bite to work. In this case, it ends up working as the Alpha bite should do, and ends up turning the individual." "Before you get excited, there are two things to note. First, it can only be done at the right time, and second, if you miss that window, then it will no longer have the same effect. Even if you bite an Altered again, their powers will stay, and they can no longer be turned, so you only have one chance at this." Continue reading on freewebnovel Gary wondered why, when Tom was speaking, it was as if he already knew who he had in his mind, and who he wanted to speak to, and as if the heavens themselves had answered his call, right in front of him, he was blinded by a golden dress. It wasn’t flashy gold or bright white, but almost a champagne golden dress that flowed down. When following his eyes upward, Gary was fixated on the gray ash hair. Immediately, he found his footsteps gravitating towards this person. As the two met eyes, the woman quickly rushed over and then presented her hand out. "You look to be quite stunned?" Xin said. "I thought I would wear something more presentable now that I’m an official member of the Howlers. Your colors there, black and gold, right? But I thought maybe just black would have been a little boring." "Right, but you’re anything but boring," Gary said as he reached out and touched her gentle, soft skin. Despite all of the fighting and training she had been through, her skin past her knuckles was always so soft. "Do you want to dance? It seems like quite a few are dancing to this one," Xin said. As Gary looked behind, he could even see that Vere and Austin were getting onto the stage and started to dance in the center. A red-faced Gary shook his head up and down a few times as the two of them entered into the center. Seeing the sight, Tom couldn’t help but smile; things just felt kind of right, you know? "That’s kind of cute of them," a voice said over his shoulder. "I was wondering when the green one would pop his cherry; looks like today might be the day." "Ha!" Tom laughed out loud. "He’s not doing anything like that, at least I don’t think. He’s just trying to decide who his Luna is, but it’s hard because Xin… she’s not like him, but now there might be a chance." "His Luna!" another voice shouted. When Tom turned his head, he realized that his rambling might have caused some trouble. For the two that were next to him were Olivia herself, along with Marie by her side, who was staring straight ahead at Gary. **** For updates on MWS and future works, please remember to follow me on my social media below.
