My Werewolf System-Novel

The three students from the AFA had decided to get a check up as well. It looked like the doctors already knew that they were altered while treating them, and they assumed that this had to be a hospital that the Howlers had been dealing with.

It was common for gangs to have relationships with hospitals because a lot of their members would end up coming there. The one that was giving the doctors direction and had informed everyone of everything was Olivia.

Kai, Marie and Olivia, were the three that knew about the Howlers' businesses the most, and with Olivia having handled a reasonably large gang herself in the past, Kai had always asked her opinion on things, which was why she was taking over now.

At first she thought it was quite a pain, their leader was off at the AFA, while the two of them were practically running the gang. It was a strange set up, to say the least, but maybe it was the werewolf part of her… lately she had been finding it harder and harder for her to hate Gary in his position.

Izzy had just finished having a checkup and bandages had been wrapped around her shoulder after it had been disinfected and it looked like the doctor had a few words to say to her before leaving.

"You're an altered, so it's expected that your recovery is quite fast. There is no need for you to stay at the hospital." The doctor explained. "However, as you might have noticed yourself, for some reason the direct wounds on your shoulders are struggling to heal. They are healing, just at a slow rate.

"Although I hardly get the chance to treat altereds, from the data we do have shared across hospitals, it is a little unusual, but I would say it's nothing to worry about. Just if the problem persists I would get it checked, perhaps by the medical staff at the AFA, it is more likely that they have a better understanding of what is going on."

Izzy wasn't particularly concerned about her wounds so much. Her body felt fine, a little weak, but it was expected after being involved in a fight for her life. At the moment, she just wanted to know how everyone else was.

When leaving the room, Izzy could see that in the seats there were two others that had been waiting for her, Ian and Numba. Ian's head was on Numba's shoulder, it looked like he was patiently sleeping away with dribble running down the side of his mouth onto Numba.

It was safe to say that she didn't need to ask if Ian was okay, as he was back to his usual self already, but Numba didn't look the same, because he was just looking dead straight ahead, not even looking at Izzy and not noticing the pool of spit that had built up on his shoulder.

​ Eventually, the two of them made eye contact.

"Hey… you still have bandages on you. I thought you would have been healed by now." Numba commented.

"It's okay, it's just a precaution." Izzy replied. "What about Gary… have you gone to see him yet, or talked about what he's going to do? I'm not sure about the relationship between him and the Kai person, but the two of them seemed to be pretty close."

For the three at the AFA, they were always classified as different at their schools, to the point where they didn't make many friends. It was safe to say that Izzy, Ian and Numba, along with Gary, were the closest friends they had.

It was to the point where they had almost forgotten that he had a life outside of the academy. It looked like Gary didn't just work for the gang, but he was a big part of them. It reminded Numba of himself, because it was the same for him.

Hearing Izzy's question, Numba started to think back to a call he had not long ago with his father. He had updated his father on the situation, how the one with a fox-like mask and grey fur had been attacked quite badly, and seeing the note it was certainly an attack from the Scatterbugs.

"I imagined that the Scatterbugs would have acted but I thought they would have sent a full force to deal with the Howlers. That young one was a talented member of the Howlers gang and he had a good head on his shoulders." Harry stated.

"If I was to guess, an attack will eventually come. They have weakened the Howlers quite a bit with this one move, and weakened their confidence. I'm sorry to hear about the situation you have been put in… I will leave the decision of what you wish for you and your friends to do in your hands."

Numba thought about it for a while, he was hesitant, an attack from a single person… Was this something that the Howlers could survive, and what about Gary? Surely he would stay to protect his hometown, there was no convincing him to come back to the AFA for safety.

"I can tell your hesitating." Harry added. "But let me tell you one thing. This attack, it was most likely more of an assassination attempt on the leader of the group. That Kai fellow had made the biggest scene, it was almost as if he wanted them to believe that he was the leader of the group.

"I have a feeling that the boy also predicted that this would occur as well, but remember, the Howlers still have a leader. Someone that all of those strong people we met, including Kai, choose to follow. There has to be a reason for it."

——

It was the one thing, the Howlers were a strong group, they didn't just have Kai, so it always made Numba wonder where was the Howlers' leader? At a time like this, when one of his members was in the hospital, why hasn't he made an appearance, or decided to do anything?

If his leader was this type of person, then Numba didn't have much hope in the group after all.

When the three walked back to the main reception area of the hospital, the automatic doors had opened, and a group of people had entered. The three of them had paused because they had recognised the gold and black uniforms, and although they hadn't seen their faces, they did somewhat recognise the body shapes of the others.

Innu, Marie, Tyler, and Austin had entered the hospital. Every single one of them with a serious look on their face.

"Those guys… they must be the ones that wore the masks and were with us at the factory right… it has to be them." Ian said.

Out of all of these here though, there was still no sight of the Howlers' leader, which was just making Numba even more infuriated.
