Chapter 77: Wolf’s howl

The look in Tom's eyes said it all. Gary saw the way he had been staring at him. No matter what had happened so far, his best friend had never pulled a face quite like this before.

‘Stop it! Stop it! Why are you looking at me like that!’ Gary thought.

At the moment, Tom wanted to reach out to Gary but his body froze up. He didn’t know what to do as it was the first time he had actually seen his best friend slightly change. Sure the other had told him what he was, but seeing it happen appeared to have awoken a primal instinct in him that made him want to run away.

Tom had seen many Altered change into their beast form, but Gary’s case was clearly different. Shaking his head, he managed to get a grip on himself and started to look around to see if anyone else had noticed. It was at that moment, that Gary himself covered up, putting his head into his shirt.
