My Werewolf System

Chapter 955 Going Against the Helper

The fight between the vampires and werewolf races had been recorded throughout history. The stories were passed down from Alpha to Alpha, and from Advisor to Advisor.

In the case of the current Lupus clan, they had heard of the history from their own father and the only other person that was extremely well-versed in these matters was Galark.

The current right-hand man of Lupus. A certain individual in the pack would usually be appointed as the bookkeeper of the group. This individualʼs duty was to pass on all of the knowledge of the werewolves.

From the rituals, to enforcing the pack rules, and explaining how an Alpha bite among other things worked. These things weren’t just written down in books, because it was the duty of the bookkeeper.

The bookkeeper would also do two things. One, they would pass on all of their knowledge to an apprentice, that way the knowledge would continue to live on.

The role of the apprentice and the bookkeeper weren’t usually fighting roles, as they were to be protected third in the group the most.

The bookkeeper would even advise for this to take place in the pack rules.

The first to be protected was the Alpha, the leader, the wolf that could make a larger pack again. The second, was the Luna of the group if there was one.

Third was the bookkeeper and their apprentice. When a new Alpha was selected it was time for them to pass on what knowledge they had to the new Alpha.

However, Alphas being the leader of the pack were also allowed to pass on what they needed to others, and Lupus’s and Dean’s father, had passed on all of the information to Dean.

Lupus never seemed to care for the knowledge or the past of the werewolves, he was much more of a fighter, but Dean did care about those things.

Thinking back on the stories that Dean heard, the vampires and werewolves used to be in a constant battle. Their history had determined at times werewolves were fighting against them to protect the humans.

At others it was the vampires trying to protect the humans from them. In the end, it no longer became about protecting the humans but just going against each other.

There was too much blood that had been spilt in fighting for either side to forgive.

In a large battle though, the werewolves were badly hurt, and had gone into deeper hiding. It allowed the vampires to gain strong influence in the human world.

Part of the reason their father had stayed low, out of sight and remained in one city, was to not get the vampires’ attention. It was almost as if a silent deal had been made.

As long as they didn’t stick out their head, then there would be no need for the vampires to act.

“Lupus is now sticking out like a sore thumb, and he won’t comply with anything the vampires say.”

“Correct.” Rickle answered. “I recently learned that due to the expansion of Ruin City, and how big it has become, a messenger was sent from the vampires.”

“They wanted to speak, to know exactly what the werewolves were planning. The messenger is now dead and the vampires aren’t happy about this at all.” Rickle explained.

Dean could already picture what had happened in his head. Lupus and the rest of the werewolves were already frustrated with their trapped lives.

They had long wanted to expand and live more of a life in other cities. Thanks to their father and Dean himself, he had managed to convince Lupus into making the current city a better place for all of them to live in, so there was no need for them to go outside.

Yet now, the vampires were trying to control the little freedom they had there as well.

Lupus always used to say, who decided what was wrong? Why was the vampiresʼ way the correct way, just because they were stronger than the werewolves?

Now having built up Ruin City into a fortress filled with powerful werewolves, he would happily tell them to bring it on.

“I still don’t understand how I can really help.” Dean said.

“Don’t worry, we will use the knowledge that we both have. Knowledge is the power that we have, and the fact that what we are doing is secret, we can do this.” Rickle said.

With no choice Dean had gone ahead and helped Rickle as he had asked. More questions were asked about the Werewolves at times Dean had to travel to different cities and towns.

Investigating certain killings to see if they were that of a wolf or an Altered.

Opinions were asked about how his brother would react to certain things and what he thought he would do, and everything was somehow and somewhat working out.

One thing that Dean realized was the fast network of information that Rickle had built up.

With NIRV being in so many cities, he got information at times before even the police force. Then there were the connections to the gangs he had in different areas.

Finally, there were also the retrievers that could be used. There were many that appeared to owe NIRV a favor, either for giving them a discount on a solution or some other means.

When it came to a point where fighting had to occur, whether that be between the vampires or werewolves, they could also be used.

No one knew what a mastermind Rickle was, how he was controlling everything.

Third parties were being moved to control the movement of both sides, and for a long time, Rickle had created a stalemate between the groups.

Years went past and Dean started to think, when was the end of all of this? If their job was just to stop the two sides from fighting each other, wouldn’t this go on forever?

With no victor, their job would go on and on, and Dean might never see his family again.

Seeing if there was a way that he could end all of this, Dean had decided to go meet his brother once again. After so many years he would meet him, but he would no longer be a werewolf.
