Chapter 13
Bert who was chewing the food in his mouth immediately turned around and stopped chewing, he was
quite surprised to find a man who was pointing a gun at him. He put down the spoon he was originally
holding, then quickly swallowed the food that was still left in his mouth.
Then, he raised his hands above his head and asked the man to calm down.
“Sorry, I entered your house without your permission. I''ve tried knocking on your door several times, but
there''s no answer from inside. But, when I tried to push the doorknob of your house down, it turned out
that your door was unlocked and I entered your house. The sweet smell of this apple pie led me into
the kitchen. If you don''t mind, may I take shelter here temporarily while treating my wound?" Bert
replied trying to convince the old man.
The old man seemed to be deep in thought, trying to ept Bert''s exnation into his logic.
"Then who are you and where are you from? Where did you get all those wounds from?” he asked
again.
Bert asked the old man for permission to take the ss of water in front of him, one hand pointing at
his throat, trying to tell the man he was thirsty. The old man nodded and invited Bert to drink.
"Thank you for allowing me to drink," said Bert as he reached for the ss in front of him and
immediately gulped down its contents.
After that, Bert put the empty ss back on the table, took a deep breath, and looked at the old man
with a serious look.
“Before I exin who I am and where Ie from, can you put down your weapon? Can''t you
recognize the wolf in me? Aren''t you a werewolf too? Oh to be more precise, you are a lone wolf. Will
you sit across from me and we can talk casually without pointing a gun?” asked Bert as he took back
the spoon in front of him and shoved the food into his mouth.
For a moment, the man agreed and he slowly put down his gun and ced it on the kitchen table.
Then, he opened the cupboard containing alcoholic drinks and took a bottle of the drink, then a ss
which was located not far from in front of him and sat across from Bert.
While waiting for Bert''s exnation, the old man poured an alcoholic drink into his ss, then held out
one hand to Bert and said, “John. What''s your name?"
Bert took the outstretched hand and replied, “Bert. Umm, sorry to walk into your house without your
permission, and thanks for this apple pie. As for the reason why I am here and for what purpose, I will

begin to exin.”
Bert continued his exnation.
“I was a member of the Blood Moon Pack and our previous Alpha was killed by someone within the
High Court where we all belonged. The reason why he was killed was that he was only used as a tool
for the assassin, a tool to avenge his hurt. By chance, I overheard his conversation with one of his men
about the action they hadpleted, which was to kill our former Alpha. At that time, I also saw their
figures from the neck to the stomach, because as you know, the keyhole is very small. And from the
keyhole, I saw the tattoo that was drawn on the body of the mastermind of the murder, at that time he
was wearing a kimono that did not cover his chest. The tattoo is a snake and I''ve seen it at an event.
Because of my carelessness, when I was about to leave, my body hit a table causing a sound that was
enough to make them wary and suspicious. I thought I had managed to get away, but I forgot that we
were werewolves and we could smell each other. After that, he hunted and wanted to kill me, I
managed to escape and I arrived here, "said Bert while looking at the te in front of him with a sad
look.
"I''m sorry to hear all that. Then, besides you, who else are they after?” asks John
“It should be just me, but when our Alpha died, our chef saw someonee to meet our Alpha and
chat with him for a while. Later when he enjoyed his lunch, he immediately copsed and died. At that
time, I was on the back porch and didn''t see any guestsing. So it''s possible that our chef is being
hunted too," Bert replied.
"Is your chef a woman?" asked John.
"Yes, her name is Mrs. Jenkins."
"Do you suspect the guest?" asked John.
All possibilities exist after what I heard from that conversation. In the family room, two drinks were
found which had both been finished, after which our Alpha died. Oh wait, not long after, another Alpha
came and asked why our Alpha wanted to see him. Alpha of the ck Skull Pack. He was eventually
made a suspect and sentenced to prison. Not long after, hemitted suicide because he felt his
honor and pride were hurt. This means the police missed the guest who came first. But, why Mrs.
Jenkins didn''t say anything. This makes me wonder," said Bert.
“All of this is tooplicated. Is the mastermind behind all this still in the High Court?” asked John.
“Yes, he holds a high power there and is hard to reach.”
“Then, what about your current Alpha? Is he in danger too?”
"He doesn''t know anything about all this, as long as he doesn''t know anything I think he''ll be safe," Bert
replied with a deep sigh.
“But, what if he finds out and tries to find out?” asked John as he poured the drink into his ss.
"Would you like this drink?" John offered the drink to Bert.
"Yes." Then, Bert grabbed his empty ss and gave it to John. The old man grabbed the ss and
filled it with his alcoholic drink, then handed it back to Bert.
Without waiting long, Bert immediately tried to taste the alcoholic drink, then he answered John''s
question whilebing his hair back, “If he finds out then he''s in danger, then the Blood Moon Pack
will be in danger. I don''t know what to do, I want to protect him but I am in danger also."
"The most important thing of all is that you heal your wounds first, then you can warn him about this,"
said John.
However, just as Bert was about to thank John, from the kitchen they heard a wolf howling from
the middle of the woods.
"Bert, did you hear that?" asked John.
"Yeah, that''s them," Bert replied.
