Chapter 319: Oh Too Human
Chapter 319: Oh Too Human
Killian was aware of this. According to the information that Seth had given to him, the Silver Dawn Pack had only
eighty-four families. Far less than what a strong and able pack that could defend itself would have. But that was
only on paper.
"And what about the human authorities? They don’t care that there are a bunch of shifters living near them?"
"That's quite simple. Our ancestors moved here when no such nonsense as Zealots existed," explained Drakon.
"Our forefathers learned how to integrate themselves into the human community, and we slowly and steadily
made our way right into the heart of this human community. We have a history older than the zealots could ever
have, so they leave us alone. Because we have everything that we need to pass off as humans. Jobs, resources,
education, degrees and even our own little chess club— the Zealots don’t doubt us for a second. If anything,
they just take us as spreppy humans who don't like trespassers and guests." He sounded quite pleased
about it.
The car started to slow down as they passed by a family of four; the two human children raised their hands and
waved at Drakon, who waved back at them with apparent ease as if he did it every day.
"And you have also allowed humans to stay with you?" Finn observed.
"Well, it’s easy that way. The Zealots get doubtful if we don’t let human families move into homes, shelters or
apartments that are up for sale. So we can only let them in the city and stay with us," explained Drakon.
Killian frowned. "And what about—if one of you shifts in the presence of the humans?"
"That has never happened. Not for like fifty years, and when it happened the last time, we took care of it,"
replied Drakon. "Ever since then, we have worked hard on our control until we chained our beasts instead of
letting them chain us."
Killian studied the profile of the man in front of him. He was a confident man, despite being very young, no more
than twenty-seven years old, and yet he carried himself with such grace and an air of confidence that he looked
way different from any other shifter who had chained his beast. There was no wild glint in his eyes as if his beast
was pressing against him, trying to free itself of the restraints. Even the desire to look for the wilderness was
missing.
And that’s what makes these people dangerous. His beast spoke in his mind.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd honestly? Killian agreed with him. There had been shifters who did try to rein in their beasts, but they had
never succeeded. If anything, those shifters lost their minds and becrogues.
"Is that why you have picked up titles from the human law judiciary?" Killian commented, remembering the man
who greeted him and Finn at the entrance of the city. He called himself—
"Chief Kai?"
"Haha, so you ran into Kai?" Drakon chuckled. His eyes crinkled as he laughed lightly. "Oh, we had to do that. You
see, the humans are all about law and order. They felt it was weird and odd that we didn’t have a police station,
so we had to arrange for one. It was quite a hassle, preparing all kinds of paperwork."
"You guys built the police station?" Finn's eyes went wide, and Killian didn’t blhim.
‘Law enforcement’ was a term that had little to do with the shifters. After all, they had had free will for years—
maybe centuries. To believe that a pack actually started following the laws and rules set by humans was
something strange. Since when did shifters start suppressing their instincts and following human laws and
policies?
"We had to if we didn’t want to be tracked down by the Zealots," remarked Drakon. "Sheriff Carl, Chief Hart and
our very own alpha, Alpha Edward. They had been working as the heads of the police station for more than fifty
years; one after the other, they had taken over the positions and made sure that no human would sense
anything amiss. Most of the positions in the station and the head office are filled by the enforcers of our pack, so
everything is under our control."
The street turned wider, and the
houses also started to look a lot
bigger than they did earlier. The

before being built. However, as the
street started to get wider and with
more and more houses popping up
on the sidelines, Killian noticed
something. There was no presence
outside these houses. No human or
shifter could be seen. The content is

Didn't Seth say that this pack was preparing for a banquet in honour of the Moon Goddess? How were they going
to arrange for a banquet when something—when the members themselves were missing?

Of course they did. Even the weakest shifter was stronger than a human, so it wasn’t a surprise that they were
able to suppress the criminals easily.
"And what do you do with those who break the law established by you?"
