Howl took watch for his friend. He watched Hunter's sleeping silhouette.

He remembered what Mica had said about him...he and Evelynne were the leaders of a large community of thieves. From what Mica has mentioned before, they weren't just any thieves...they were also killers. And they were behind the castle raid, and the assassination of the royal family. Only for gold and a governless world.

Sickening...

Howl sighed to himself and looked around him. He turned his gaze back to Hunter.

Why? Why would Max even let him in? He still doesn't get that ....what's even more confusing is that Shadow...even though he admits why...is settling down and letting Max take the stand; But knowing a guy like Shadow....why would he even let this happen? There was something odd...real odd about this situation.

So many questions swirled in his mind. For a person like Hunter...he's not one to ask to join a group of people who are using his territory. Even if he's a loner, he wouldn't ask anyone if he could join...he shouldn't be asking at all...after all....he IS, or was, the leader of a group of more than a hundred thieves!

This isn't making any sense...and that's another thing that doesn't make sense to him. How in the hell is Hunter a shapeshifter? And what's weirder is the fact that he has no one but himself now. We've heard what happened to Evelynne...but what about the rest? Where were THEY at? And were they Shifters too?

Scarlett's dead, and all the cursed wolves and shapeshifters changed back or died. Except for Howl and his friends...but....this was a different curse....well....more like a wish cast by a former friend.

The thought of Matthew made his heart wrench.

God...

He's been with him all his life...just and innocent and naive kid, a good guy, never one to hurt anyone. Now he's...something else.

The thoughts swirled in his head, round and round.
