'Do you have a free time tonight then?,Gina asked slowly twirling her hair.
'No I don't',Daryl replied briskly and walked away. Gina frowned and went another way angrily as her footsteps could be heard landing loudly.
★★
'You heard about the party tonight',Sam chuckled.
'Yeah even before you heard,Max said.
'You know that's not fair,he grinned. 'Are you coming?, Sam asked looking at Max slightly worried about this new body of his.
'I don't know' Max mumbled thinking alongside the same thought Sam had.
'Dont worry. Nothing is gonna happen tonight',Sam said patting Max on his shoulder. And Daryl came over
'Hey guys,he smiled at them. But as if on agreement they looked away the same time and headed outside.

Kado drank his liquor and licked his lips for a while. 'I don't support the idea. It means we are downgrading ourselves', he said still holding the cup.
'I know. But I want us to survive this. I don't want any more casualty. If we must cooperate to achieve that then so be it', Thawn replied convincingly and also giving Kado a dark glare full of daggers.
'Have you thought about it carefully? others won't go with you on this mission', Kado managed to say aware of the eye daggers coming his way and he didn't want to see Thawn's bad side, not now though.
'Dont worry bro. I will convince Grey myself. Even though,I will get hurt I will be good'.
'You are our only light brother. Don't get extinguished', Kado slowly sighed in defeat as he looked at his brother.
'I can't.Instead I will shine brighter',he smiled and hugged Kado.

' What do you mean dad?,Luke asked.
'I mean we have other hunters more advanced than us. This weapons are old and have some witchcraft to it.'
'Do you know who they are? Gina asked impatiently.
'Am just speculating. Am not sure yet', Grey replied.'But we need to be careful',he warned.
'Its not our problem. We are not werewolves and we don't have one here'. Gina said non-challantly and grabbing some things
'I have to get ready freaky for this night party' she said before walking away.
'She doesn't give a damn about this family legacy huh. I wonna get prepared for the party too',Luke mumbled the last part but it seems Grey heard and gave him a stare.
'You wont go to the party ',Grey said looking at him straight in the eye.
'Hell no!', Luke protested.
***At the Party***
'Its rocking!,Sam shouted.
'Yeah it is,Max murmured looking around.
'Hey brother'....Max was surprised. 'Wade,what are you doing here?
'I came to enjoy ur party with you bro', Wade smiled towards the duo.
Max chuckled and was ready to join the party fully when he saw Gina and Daryl. 'awwh,his morale dropped.
'Cmon let's find a girl',Wade said with a bit of chuckle and went into the party.
'You see that! Sam exclaimed.' That's why I like your bro!', he kept on rambling till he discovered Max was no where beside him anymore.
Meanwhile, Max had saw a girl and walked over to her.
'Hi,he said shyly. 'Do you care for a dance?', he asked still expecting a rejection.
She smiled and replied'Okay' and held out her hand with a stunned Max leading her to the dance floor. Both started dancing and the party started getting lit and lit until a certain scent entered Max's nose .
'Can you wait for me here?, He said tracing the scent back.
After a while, Wade looked around and tapped Sam 'Have you seen Max?
'No...he should be.....He was right beside me. where the hell did he go?', Sam cursed internally as he feared the worst may have happened.
'I should look for him' Wade cuts in and walked away.
'Cmon not tonight', Sam grumbled as he hit his palms on his fore head slightly and he followed Wade
***
Max saw a black figure standing on a car.
'Who are you? Max asked.
'I should direct the question to you',Thawn said uncovering his hood.
'Why'd you smell like that?,Max asked.
'Thats because we are the same,Thawn replied showing off his claws.
'Am not anything like you! Max shouted and ran towards him rushing attacks
Thawn keeps dodging the attacks and grabbed him and smashed him to the ground then threw him away. Max landed on his kneel and groaned. 'Not tonight! Then Wade came out .
'Hey what have you done to my brother!? He ran towards Thawn and blew him.
Thawn grunted and grabbed Wade and threw him onto the wall,knocking the wall,Wade passed out slowly
'WADE!,Max shouted and claws sprouted and his eyes became blue in colour
'Hold on....what are you?', Thawn couldn't believe what he was seeing. A werewolf with a blue eye color. He's not an alpha nor a beta of any pack.
'You dare touch my brother! Max flew very high and pounced on Thawn.
Thawn grabbed Max neck and tried to smash Him but Max twisted his body and smashed him instead. He slashed Thawn in the arm. Thawn groaned loudly,he rolled on the floor and kicked Max who knocked the wall and landed badly on the ground....Max spat blood and growled.
'So strong for a werewolf!....Wait. How'd became a werewolf?', Thawn was desperate to know now realizing how strong Max was.
'Dont ask me stupid question! Max rushed attacks while Thawn dodged them and jabbed Max who fell on the ground. He pinned his finger and snapped it as Max screamed in pain.
'How did you become a werewolf?,he asked again adding more pressure
Max was groaning heavily and he was released by Thawn. Too weak to attack,he laid on ground and panted.
'Who is your mother?,Thawn asked.
'My mum died a long tym ago'
'What about your father?
'Hes alive...Why asking about my parents?
'I need to know who of them you gained your wolfism from'
'None of them is like this',Max said.
'Did someone performed the Wolf Ritual on you?
'No! Max was losing it. 'Hell what does that even mean ?', he thought.
'How then did you become a werewolf?
'I was BITTEN. A wolf bit me'
'Bite? A wolf doesn't bite. It tears'
'Why do everyone keep telling me that shit!?,like he's supposed to tear me to pieces or something!
'Nothing like that has happened before,' Thawn said with a serious face. And he was going to say more but he noticed more some people were coming over.
'I will find you' he said disappearing into the darkness. Others arrived.
'. Are you okay? Sam asked as he walked forward first and held Max
'What happened here?,Luke asked too.
'Am fine.just a ...night thief' Max said going over to his brother and carried him.
'Lemme call 911',Sam suggested. Soon the police and Paramedics arrived.
'Are you okay?, the detective asked slightly worried at the scene he was looking at.
'Am okay. Thanks dad',Sam replied.
'What about Max,are you good?', Dad asked looking at Max
'Am good sir', Max replied briskly
'What happened?
'It was a night thief', Sam cuts in and explained everything in a make up story. Detective Hardy looked at his stepson intently and then looked at Max.' Is that true?
'Yea ..it's true', Max looked at Sam and praised him internally for his talent of lying despite he hasn't told him the real story
'He knocked your brother over?', Hardy asked with a little skepticism but he had no choice than to believe whatever the two boys told him. As the story Sam laid out was a pretty convincing one at that.
'Yeah', Max replied.
'Okay. You can go home...Party is over. Your brother will be fine okay. Hardy looked around and saw the marks on the wall, he shook his head.
'Okay sir' and Both of them watched as the paramedics took Wade away.
'You were really strong enough to take your stand',Luke said patting Max. Instead Max looked at him with a mean gaze, with his fist clenching which made Luke shivered a little. Sam noticed this and immediately grabbed Max away from Luke who just stood there wondering what had happened between them. 'Did I offend him before or something?', he wondered.
They all went away from the scene except from Hardy who stood staring at the wall. 'What could have cracked this wall like this in a fight? its either they are not telling the truth or the story has another part, he wondered to himself.
Meanwhile in a far corner a guy could be seen staring at the wall as well then as soon as people start to walk over he went into the party with a smirk slowly forming on his face.
