My Werewolf System

Chapter 1153  Letʼs Start Now

After hearing all of their pleas, and weighing everything in his mind, Gary had made a decision, as to what choice he felt was best.

“I chose… Marie to be my Luna.” Gary answered.

There was an almost defeated groan from each of them in that moment, but the heavy air that could be felt by all, that had also disappeared. The weight had finally been cleared off of Gary’s shoulders.

Kai nodded at Gary’s choice, as he thought about it himself.

‘It was a big decision to make Gary, and I’m sure every part of you wanted to make Xin your Luna. Although everyone has said this is a partnership, there is no doubt that there are odd powers out of our control that are presented to us in these forms.

‘Who knows what becoming Luna will actually do to an individual. On top of that, Xin’s current strength is great with her Altered powers and form. We might even need a large variety in our attacks when it comes to fighting in the future. It was a good choice.’

“Me, you really picked me for this Gary, do you really mean it?” Marie asked both of her hands held together and a large joyous smile on her face. “I promise I won’t disa-”

“Wait.” Xin said. “Gary… did you pick Marie, just because I didn’t answer straight away, is that the reason?”

Gary didn’t respond, because it might have certainly been the case. He didn’t know why, but he felt the words his Luna to his pack, his Werewolf side had become a part of him. When he first became a Werewolf, it felt like he was almost living two lives, having to hide one part over the other.

And, bringing Xin to be his Luna would be bringing them both together, no longer having to live this double life.

“If that’s the case, then I too want to be your Luna.” Xin said. “I’m sorry… Marie. I don’t want to step over your excitement, but in this situation it was why I was hesitant. There are a lot of things in my life growing up that I couldnʼt have because of my restrictive father.”

“Then I realised there are only two things I want in my life left, my brother, who’s gone now, and as for the second. It’s you Gary. Our talk from before I want to be with you, and I feel, being the Luna, being a part of what you have become, it will bring the two of us closer.”

“So with that in mind, with me saying I’m happy to be… no, that I want to be your Luna, will that change your mind.”

Before Gary knew it, he was already standing up in his seat.

“Alright Xin… then please… become my Luna.”

The two of them smiled at each other and stared into each otherʼs eyes, as the others started to think. How could they get in the way of that? Them trying to become Luna, would have got in the way of such a beautiful thing.

Apart from one person. Marie couldnʼt help it, as tears started to roll down her cheeks.

“I’m sorry… I’m so happy for you two.” Marie said, as she placed her hand over her eyes, and ran out of the room, out through the double doors.

“Marie!” Gary called out, but she was already gone. “Crap… I did, a really shitty thing didn’t I? I… should have thought about it, and talked to her properly.”

Over his shoulder, Kai patted it a few times.

“You did what you wanted to do, youʼre living a life with no regrets now.” Kai said. “Don’t worry. I’ll go talk to her, you deal with your new Luna.” Kai winked and walked off down the hallway.

Exiting out of the room, Kai used his ears to track down the sobbing noise. He turned a few lefts and rights until he eventually found Marie on the ground sobbing into her arms.

Walking over, Kai still stood up, leant up against the wall, and gave out a big sigh.

“Why… why.” Marie said. “Why does it hurt so much… why… I know it’s up to him… I know… and Iʼm happy for him. I already knew… he liked her, so why does it hurt so much.”

“Marie, the two of us, we’ve been together for a long time.” Kai answered. “I think it’s come to the point where I might understand you better than you understand yourself. I could tell… you liked Gary… you liked him a lot.”

“It’s normal, let all your feelings out, and when you need a shoulder to cry on. Then just cry on me.” Kai placed his hand on top of Marie’s head, and eventually knelt down till his head was next to hers. “I’ll always be here by your side.”

Marie lifted her head, and dived right into Kai’s arms. She grabbed onto him and continued to sob, until the sound of her cries filled the whole hallway.

Back in the room, Gary was still feeling pretty crappy about what he had done, and how he had gone about it. He was just caught up in the moment of everything that was taking place and that had gone on.

However, he had to deal with the situation.

“So what do we do now?” Xin asked.

“I think it might be best we try do this as soon as possible.” Gary said. “Because from what Tom said there will be a period where you will lose your powers. At the moment, the Howlers seem to be going through a peaceful period at the moment but that can change at any time.”

“The quicker you get to know your new body, the quicker our group will have all of the added benefits as well.”

It was then that the others felt an awkward tension in the room.

“Well, I think it’s best if we left you two, to do whatever it is that youʼre going to do.” Olivia said.

Once everyone had left, it was only Xin and Gary in the room.

“Ready?” Gary asked.
