Chapter 552 The Alpha Trap

Back in Slough, the heart rate monitor in one of the hospital room private rooms started to pick up speed. According to the doctors, the patient lying there would wake up in due time. His vitals were strong and once he fully healed he would be back to normal. However, even the doctors would be surprised as the rate Kai was getting better.

After the introduction of Altered, doctors and other medical staff would learn how to take care of them. In essence, they were like super humans with fast recovery times, but Kai was not an Altered. His body, after receiving the energy he needed had begun healing himself, starting with his vital wounds.

The heart rate machine started to beat faster, his heart rate was rising, and eventually while lying in bed his eyes opened. Immediately Kai sat up right gasping for air, sweat on his forehead.

'What…what was that?' Kai wondered as he grabbed his chest, followed by his chin. Although his brain wasn't awake enough to process what had happened to him, he could still remember a sense of danger in the final moments before his unconsciousness.

"Did you have a bad dream or something?"

Turning his head, Kai noticed that there was someone by his side, but it wasn't who he had expected to see.

"Aunt- Miss Degrace." Kai called out as he recognised Marie's mother.

"It's okay, feel free to call me Aunt Kiki or Aunty, it's just the two of us after all."

"What happened to me? How did I get here? Where are the others?" Kai asked a barrage of questions.

It was at that moment, as if someone had opened a floodgate that the memories started to come crashing into his head. It felt like his brain was starting to split in two parts. Once the pain was over, Kai finally remembered who he had faced at that time, and how badly it had ended.

"The others…" Miss Degrace replied slowly, seemingly trying to fish for the right words. She had been asked to look over Kai in their absence. The grown woman had been prepared to look after him for a few days, so seeing him awake already left her no time to come up with an excuse.

"I can already guess from your reaction." Kai said as he placed his hand on his head. "Just tell me how long ago they left. I need to get out of here."

Kai started to pull off the needles, the tags and other things connected to his body as he was ready to rush toward Notsburg to help the others.

"They left hours ago, and you just woke up, Kai. It's a wonder you're already awake, but your body clearly needs more rest." Miss Degrace argued, her arms crossed. "You won't make it in time to help them, so let's just trust them. Don't you trust that Gary can do this without you?"

Kai's eyebrows were furrowed as he was in deep thought. He had shared a lot of the information that he had gathered for their counter attack, so the Howlers wouldn't attack them without a plan, at least. Nevertheless, there was one variable that Kai hadn't accounted for in his plans.

'I predicted that they might go for me, even for me to be out of the fight, but I never expected there to be another Werewolf…and the words he spoke… This whole thing, it's all a big trap to get Gary to fight him!' Kai thought.

"Aunt Kiki, I get that you're worried… but I still need to go. It's because of me that this war started. I was the one who decided to help the Cardenez family and I was the one that was overconfident. I trust him, but there is something he doesn't know!" Kai decided as he got up and most of his naked body was being shown to Miss Degrace, hanging in the free air.

The casino was a large building that actually had multiple floors. All casino operations were on the first floor, but on the second floor was where Slith, the leader of the Scatterbugs currently was at. He sat in his large chair, in the room full of jewels in their display cabinets wall to wall, but he wasn't alone in the room. Inside, there were ten of the strongest Scatterbug members in the room.

All of them in one place, all of them waiting to eliminate anyone who pushed open the doors, not that they expected anyone to enter anyway.

"They're doing a lot better than I thought." Slith noted as he stared at a large screen on his desk. It was the cctv to the casino. Several video feeds around the casino showing how everyone was doing.

"Im'm losing a lot of men!" Slith shouted slamming the desk. "Oh well, I guess that just means less wages to pay." He started to laugh.

Meanwhile, standing by his side as usual was Midwak, and he too was intensely staring at the screen, looking at each of the Altered forms carefully.

"What's wrong?" Slith asked as he could feel anger coming from Medwakh. They had stayed in the room because of him in the first place. He was the one that had warned them that the attacking force was strong so they should wear them down.

"Nothing… it's just that they are a lot weaker than I expected." Midwak admitted, which came as a surprise to Slith.

What would one expect from a Tier-3 town gang in the first place?

What Midwak was looking for were those like him, those that belonged to the Alpha.

'I can't believe it…the Alpha is here, but there is only one other Beta wolf!' Midwak found it hard to contain his frustration. 'I could smell the fresh scent on that guy, but I thought I was unlucky. Are you telling me that this Alpha Wolf is really so new that his entire Pack consists of three members?

'What has he been doing this whole time?! This damned Alpha, he deserves to get his Pack stolen from him!' Midwak thought, but his plan was soon coming into action, because right outside the double doors, Gary had finally arrived.
