The conversation between Kai and Dean seemed to be leaking out bigger secrets than he would like, and it seemed the two of them would need to have a further conversation than he originally thought. Getting here, he imagined himself just leaving instantly.
“Xin, can you make sure Gary’s family is alright, protect them at all costs, I know you can do it,” Kai asked without even turning to look at her. Instead, his eyes were just fixed on the large man in front of him.
“I will,” Xin answered, knowing it was her cue to leave, she knew this by the fact that she didn’t understand everything that was being said. When she headed back into the room, there was a thought lingering in her mind.
‘Is Gary still hiding something from me, something bigger than being a gang leader.’ It was a crazy thought to have, but with his family turning up like so, it might very well have been the case.
Kai started to walk over, heading into one of the empty VIP rooms; he was sure it wouldn’t be empty for long. He had already given the order for the hospital to try and treat as many people as possible.
They would foot the bill for all the hard work that was placed into it, but that was if the Howlers would still exist after this to even pay off such a thing.
After entering the room, Kai made sure the door was shut before continuing his talk with Dean.
“You said before that you weren’t like Gary, you weren’t like me, but you seem to know a lot about the whole situation, and how could you even suggest something like that!” Kai asked, moving his hand; he was furious.
“I already said before that my matter is a complicated one, but yes, I know that Gary is a werewolf and I know that you are one as well. You should be able to tell from my smell what I am anyway.”
Kai sniffed the air a couple of times and he was right, the smell coming from Dean suggested that he was completely human. This was more mind-boggling for Kai, but it wasn’t the important matter at hand.
“If you do know about the werewolves and everything that it’s like being one, how could you suggest something. Gary would never do such a thing!” Kai stated.
“You’re right, Gary would probably take it into his own hands, try to fight as long as possible. It’s worked out for him so far because his enemy was small in number but never something like this, and right now, Gary isn’t here, you need to look at the situation fully.
“You’re a smart kid, I’m sure this option has entered your mind a few times.”
Dean was right, Kai, who was one to go through all of the options possible at their disposal, had of course thought of this. However, with him not being the gang leader, nor the one that was originally a werewolf, he thought it wasn’t his place, it was something that Gary should have decided.
He would have never had this power without Gary, so he didn’t want to use it hazardly.
“You’re a werewolf, and I’m sure Gary has already turned others as well. If you gather them up and turn as many people as you can, that is your power and chance to win this war,” Dean suggested.
“Do you know what makes a Werewolf stronger? It’s their pack. The larger their pack is, the more power the leader is as well as the rest of you. Werewolves were meant to hunt together, not split apart.”
Gritting his teeth, Kai was thinking about it more, more about the suggestion on hand.
“But the power, the responsibility of being a werewolf is a strong one. The hunger we have, the urge to keep it inside us. If that power gets out to those that we can’t trust, then there is a chance they could use it to hurt others.”
“Not if the pack rules have been set,” Dean stated. “I know Gary, in his rules he probably has it that normal people can’t be hurt, right. All of them will have to follow the rules.
“The larger issue at hand is…”
It looked like Dean wanted to say something else but had decided to keep it in anyway.
“The way I see it, you have two options: you either go ahead, turn those in the Howlers and fight back, or lose everything that you built up to the Phoenix group. They haven’t even started to attack you at full force yet.
“You’re going up against one of the Kings, so you can’t afford to hold back your punches!”
Dean’s voice was booming with strength. He sounded like a strong commander, and a person that had been in this situation himself before.
Thinking about the options, Kai started to imagine what was happening around Slough, the people he had met on his way here; he was sure there were even more of them getting hurt.
‘If we turn the more loyal ones like Park, then things can work out, we can still keep it a secret. We just need more power right now, and it doesn’t look like Gary is going to get out any time soon.’
“But you know, right, turning people, there is a chance that they might die,” Kai stated.
“If you don’t do this, even more will die,” Dean said. “Gather up the people who you trust, and you’re willing to turn. It’s getting late; even your attackers will need to rest and regroup.
“During the night, that is our chance. Bring the rest of the werewolves, and we will turn as much as you can, but just turning them will be useless. Bring them to me, and I will train them to use their deadly instincts against the enemy, and they will be what they need to be to win this war,” Dean stated, with a special glow in his eye.
‘Is Gary’s father really not a Werewolf, because right now, he’s giving me even more pressure than one. I guess, his family are just like this,’ Kai thought clenching both of his fists.
“Fine, it’s the only choice we have.”
