Chapter 644 Starting the ritual?
After hearing the entire explanation from Midwak, Gary was unsure whether he should be happy or not. There were a number of reasons to be frightened by this whole thing. The punishment for breaking a vow seemed quite high.
On both ends, it wouldn't do them any favours. The reason why Gary had survived in the Underworld and had gotten this far was due to his Werewolf form, so if that was suddenly to be taken away, then what would he do?
Old enemies such as Ben Clove would be able to take him down, and new ones as well that would always be trying to uproot his position. Then again, the other option didn't sound delightful either.
Essentially, it was no different from a Crazed Altered. When one was unable to turn back and he was sure that the blood lust wouldn't be good either.
"I'm sure the vow with this upper being can't be something as simple as never eating sweets again either, and the more I think about it, even that would be impossible to maintain." Gary said, scratching his head.
"I would be on the edge of my seat every day wondering if someone would eat a sweet by accident, and if I told them about eating sweets, then Midwak would dangle that in front of me.
"He could threaten me to force a change the pack rules; otherwise, he would eat the sweets."
Shaking his head, the expression on Gary's face was constantly changing as he went through made-up scenarios, and the others were a little concerned for him.
"What was the vow for your old pack?" Kai asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKnowing this would give them an idea of what type of promise they would need to make, and the other would allow them to get the upper hand on other Werewolves.
Midwak shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. The Alpha never told us, and we never asked. Whatever it was, no one had ever broken it in our pack, and as for those before I can only say they have been rumours but all of that is before my time.
"I don't see why you're all struggling so much. Is it really a big deal to go a bit wild once a month?"
Kai was seriously considering this option. Right now, it was a problem they dealt with monthly, and they did have a solution, but making a vow would cause a permanent problem they would always have to worry about.
"Weren't you an Omega wolf for a while?" Olivia suddenly asked as it popped into her head. "If you were kicked out of your pack, did you still have control of yourself, or are you just like us?"
"You got me!" Midwak kissed his teeth and threw his hands up in the air. It was one of the questions he was hoping they wouldn't ask.
"I said before, from birth I have been in control of my Werewolf self, but just as you stated, when I became an Omega wolf, I was affected just like everyone else. The first turning I had experienced before coming to Notsburg wasn't too much trouble, but I am a problem solver.
"Even when joining the Scatterbugs, I had my ways of not causing trouble."
Again, the others felt like it might not be best to ask, but maybe it was a better solution than starving themselves.
"What was it? What did you do every full moon? Did you lock yourself up?" Marie asked. She was the most worried out of everyone.
She had yet to experience a full moon as a Werewolf but had been there on the other end when they had attempted to stop the others. In her mind, if the will of the others wasn't strong enough, then what about hers?
Midwak started to laugh again.
“It was an easy solution, at least for me it was,” Midwak said. “I just went down to the lower tier cities. The tier 4 and tier 5 for a little trip once a month. No one would care, nor would they really notice if they disappeared.”
Midwak continued to laugh, and as for Gary, he started to walk straight toward Midwalk while clenching his fist.
“Stop laughing,” Gary mumbled.
“Huh?” Midwak replied.
Bending his front knee, Gary went to throw a fist from underneath and hit Midwak right in the chin. It lifted his body in the air before he landed on the ground. Midwak wasn’t stunned but was surprised as he rubbed his chin.
“You f*ck!” Midwak shouted. “You come here and ask me for help, and when I tell you things you don‘t want to hear, you take it out on me! I’m going to rip you to shreds when I get the chance!”
Something had clicked in Gary when he heard that, and it was his own situation. Him and his family were so close to not being able to live in a tier 3 town and were close to moving down to tier 4. And from there, maybe their situation would have gotten worse and they would have lived in a tier 5.
The way Midwak was talking, it was as if their lives were worth less than the others. If he hadn’t had a stroke of luck, it was possible that he would be living in fear, scared of someone like Midwak roaming around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You guys are screwed anyway!” Midwak shouted. “I know about the ritual, but do you think I even know how to do a ritual in the first place? That is something only Alphas know, and someone like you, who knows even less than me about Werewolves, will never figure out how to do one.
“So good luck on trying to go down your righteous path.”
Standing there, they all felt like Midwak was right. There was now no one to turn to. So what would Gary do with his upcoming AFA match? That was until a ding was heard.

[Would you like to perform the ritual?]
‘Ah, system, I'm starting to like you more and more these days,’ Gary smiled.
