My Werewolf System

Chapter 1027: My Last Words

The car continued to travel on the bridge across the river. Most of the cars had already stopped and pulled over to the side, as they stared at the large creature in the air and started to film it.

It wasn’t every day they would see such a creature. While others who were too afraid to film had just stopped and stayed still, hoping not to gain any attention.

There was only one vehicle moving on the bridge, a limo with half its roof torn off and several people inside.

Xin had been caring for both Gary and her brother, and she felt at that moment Jayden slipping away from her as he stood up and made a declaration.

“Keep going… there’s something that I can do… something that I have to do.”

“Something you have to do?” Austin said. “Don’t be crazy. There is nothing we can do. Just sit back down while we come up with a plan.”

Everyone in the car had roughly the same thoughts, but Xin had a fear that made her heart start to race and beat slightly louder.

She knew her brother better than anyone. He had protected her so many times while growing up.

“Jayden, don’t… just don’t!” Xin called out. “Just do as the others say and sit down.”

Harvor’s shadow was cast above them. It was the only time they could speak as the car continued down the bridge.

“We all know the truth of the situation,” Jayden said. “If we continue traveling this way, sure, we might be able to come up with some ways to fend Harvor off, but where does this trail lead to?” Jayden lifted his index finger, pointing ahead.

“The only place that can be considered safe for us is Slough. It’s clear what type of person Harvor is. He has made up his mind, and he will continue the chase all the way to Slough.”

“Your city, Gary’s city, the city where my family currently lives. Slough was just rebuilt. It can’t be destroyed again because of me.”

“No!” Xin said, careful to move as Gary’s injured head was still in her lap. “What do you think you can do? You already fought him with all you had, and look at the state you’re in. You only just started to recover.”

“If you try anything, then you will die!”

There was silence from Jayden. At that moment, Xin just wanted Jayden to say something back, to say words of comfort, or that he had a plan, that he was going to come back to her.

“If we don’t do anything, then everyone will die, everyone that was involved in this because of me. When I fought Harvor today, I was prepared for what was going to happen.”

“I’m sorry, Xin. I never expected to see you here… you are my dear sister, and you know I always have to protect you.”

Tears were flowing down Xin’s face as she couldn’t understand why Jayden was saying these words, why he was trying to upset her.

“If you’re gone, then how can you protect me? If you want to keep protecting me, then you have to live!” Xin shouted.

Jayden gave a long stare at Gary and thought back to the moments they had together—when they worked together to save Xin from the gang members.

When they sparred at each other’s house, and the several meetings and occurrences they continued to have. He couldn’t imagine that the young boy would be able to surpass him like he had done now.

“He will be able to complete my revenge. I wish I could see it with my own eyes, but I know the type of person he is—someone who always gets things done.”

“Stop it!” Xin screamed. “Stop talking like this! All of you, stop him! Stop him!” Xin screamed.

The others didn’t act. It wasn’t their place, and every word spoken by Jayden was true. Even with whatever Jayden was planning, there was a good chance it wouldn’t work, and none of them would survive this.

The car continued forward, and they could see that they were truly coming up to the end. There were only a few moments left.

“I wish I could have spoken to him more. I wish the two of us could have hung out more. Actually, I wish all of us could have hung out more,” Jayden continued.

His body started to transform. The white fur was growing all over. In the night sky, a special glow appeared over his entire body and skin.

“I have some final words that I wish to pass on. Xin, you have grown strong, a person who is capable of making your own decisions in life.”

“You have a good sense of justice, and maybe at times see too much good in people, but you have managed to surround yourself with very special people. You asked me before, right? Who can protect you when I’m gone? Well, just take a look around you.”

“As for Father, tell him that he needs to be his own voice of reason now. Sometimes, another way, although it may not be your way, can work as well.”

“And that I knew he was always looking out for us. That he tried his best for both of us after Mum passed away.”

The sobs from Xin were getting louder, uncontrollably.

“And my final words are to be passed on to him, Gary Dem… Can you tell him he would have made a good brother?”

As Jayden finished his sentence, the car passed the bridge, and Harvor was seen descending toward them.
