“So where do we start our search? Do you have any leads on where they could be gathering?” Adrian asked as he wanted to know if they have information on the movements of this other alpha.

“We have no actual location, but we do know is that they are recruiting werewolves from the villages near Arkadia. They are using the Duke’s peaceful attitude to go behind his back and plan a revolt.” Lycan stated in a serious tone.

“How do you know that they are planning a revolt anyway? I mean, they could be doing something else by recruiting other werewolves. Maybe hunting prey or teaching them to control transformation.” Adrian asked as he was still not convinced that it is a revolt. .𝒎

“They attacked a vampire hideout which is why we know. We managed to capture one aggressor and interrogate her about why they attacked the hideout. It seems that young werewolves are pent up and want change or the alpha is using his silver tongue to rile them up.” Solstice stated.

“I did read in one of the books that werewolves have a thirst for blood and that they should hunt in order to lessen its influence. It becomes a drug to their system and if they do not satisfy this crave then they would become feral on the next full moon.” Adrian muttered as he thought more on what he read.

“If you interrogated them, why do you not get the location of their hideout?” Adrian suddenly asked as he thought it was strange not for them to know since they already interrogated a member.

“We did try. We even asked a vampire who is an expert at Charm Magic to do it, but she only told us that they meet in different locations. She also confessed that only the trusted betas are allowed to meet the alpha in secret” Solstice replied. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚

“Basically, this mastermind is very good at planning revolts because they do not meet at the same place in fear of getting discovered. This alpha also only allows the betas that he or she trusts so that she lessens those keeps close. This other alpha seems to be particularly good in guerilla warfare as well due to the fact that they attacked a vampire hideout undetected.” Adrian reviewed the information given to him.

“We have two options available to us.” Solstice suddenly stated as she held up two of her fingers.

“One would be to attempt in finding out the meeting place and use Equinox’ magic to turn invisible. The other choice would be to change Lycan’s appearance using that Glamour of yours and plant him as an inside man.” Solstice suggested.

“Why bother using Glamour when I have this!” Adrian stated as he flashed his Faceless Mask.

“What does an ugly looking mask have to do with infiltrating the meeting?” Solstice berated.

“This mask, dear sister, can morph every fiber of your being to a certain person that you got DNA from. We just need the DNA of another werewolf. Using that werewolf’s identity as a disguise, I will then attend the meeting without them getting suspicious.” Adrian stated in a smug tone because he thought of a great plan.

“So, you will become our inside werewolf while you will turn both of us into this soul form thingy so we can watch from a distance. Even if that mask of yours is really great as you described, we should still have the chance to support you if things get awry suddenly.” Solstice added.

“We should find out the location of where they recruit first. I will get you that DNA of another werewolf. What do you need so that you can transform into that person?” Lycan stated.

“I would need a pound of their flesh. The bloodier the better.” Adrian stated with an evil smile but his siter hit him in the head due to his joke.

“Ouch! I only need a strand of hair. Happy!?” Adrian stated in an irritate tone.

“Dude, even if that is a joke, it is still quite dark.” Lycan said with a squeamish face.

“He is doing his acting skit again that references some movie. Television really does pollute the mind of the young which is why I did not watch much growing up.” Solstice stated with her chin up as if she said something to be praised for.

“Uhuh…Tell that to your collection of dramas from other countries. I even saw you crying once because your favorite character in the drama you were watching did not get his happy ending. You even suddenly decide to do a hunger strike once because your favorite character from another drama died. Do you want to me to keep adding more?” Adrian teased his elder sister and started running after revealing embarrassing stories about his sister.

“Oh! You are so dead when I get out of this game!” Solstice stated as she started to run to her little brother than escaped.

“Do you not know that child violence is prohibited?! I might report you to the Disciplinary Committee you know.” Adrian shouted in response.

“That committee might protect your ass inside the game, but they cannot protect you outside of it. Hyaa!” Solstice shouted as she ran after Adrian.

“Be careful what you say because our parents are watching me play the game. Also, I have far superior stats compared to you, so you have no hope of catching me!” Adrian teased once more as he knows he has the upper hand.

Lycan, who saw the two siblings rumble, could only feel their happy atmosphere and smile unconsciously. Deep down though, he wanted to have the same playful banter with his siblings, but they are not in speaking terms due to the fight for an inheritance.

“Sometimes, I feel like the world or God only gives happiness to those that already has happiness.” Lycan thought as he smiled wryly.

“What are you doing? Come on and help me catch that blabbing twerp!” Solstice stated as she pulled on Lycan’s hand.
