(On Hold) A'luna Of Blood

chptr 20

Credit to where credit was due Max had planned everything out to a t having Levi and his grass and the apartment in the werewolves not even knowing anything about his little situation that he had going on with Levi he had even foolproofed the car plan using a decoy version of Levi when they were switching out cars a bloody double replaced the real Levi in the ice cream truck that the werewolves had caught on to using the body double to move the real Aaron into an actual ambulance going directly to the pharmaceuticals building which was less dangerous and more of a straightforward thing that posed much less of a threat in kept hearing in a much healthier condition so they could get the prosthetics and stuff the bleeding as soon as possible Max in that moment did show signs of emotion but kept himself stoic for the sake of keeping up an image having been taught so by both him and Aaron's father growing up another difference they possessed is Aaron was creative and fluttering with his emotions allowing them to show while Max only spared it for those he trusted and knew very well on so many different occasions people try to use max for his wealth and status having been exposed to this over the past few years he had grown up to it and learn to face it with his own kind of demeanor of a stoic man who gives nothing but takes everything at least that's what he chose to think of himself as everything he would give is through his business even then it wasn't directly him giving to the public it was his image that was being polished by the business while he handled the more internal affairs especially when it came to sorting out the shortage of werewolf blood the most they could ever do at a time was you substitutes from local vampire clans that didn't follow the treaty which was risky business as it was rogue vampire clans posed threat to his men and Max himself but he kept them at Bay and the relationship worked he got the blood he needed to mass produce it but it would never be truly enough unless he managed to get access to alive werewolves as their blood was more potent and possessed stronger attributes Max walked on along his balcony his thoughts you mean between left and right constantly he then thought of Levi remembering how he found him when he first saw him when he was brought to the pharmaceuticals barely on the brink of death with bloody scratch marks everywhere and missing an arm as well as major cuts on one of his eyes the prosthetics that were developed for him we're costume fused with the silver infused wolfs bane just for extra protection as wolfsbane wasn't a poison but it acted like a antibody to the werewolf genome upon consumption it would shut down all of the werewolves ability making him seem like any other human so as long as levi kept that on him his little friends if they got close and touched him would be just as fragile and feeble as any other human also with the past few days of monitoring he could see that levi was getting quite used to prosthetics Levi's condition improving every other day eventually getting to the point where you learn to crush glass with his new prosthetic arm and his stage 4 cancer being completely taken care of just by giving him a new heart that they bought risky business but one that he needed to make sure happened so Levi could make it fast and speedy recovery because they couldn't start doing testing until Levi was in tip top shape though the blood testing that they had been doing minor signs appeared but nothing too big it seems that when a werewolf meets it's mate the mates bloodstream would produce a small amount of specific pheromone that would create a scent that the werewolf could follow that's how the werewolf would identify the mate Max found that this pheromone could be used in combination with wolfsbane to be both an aerial nullifier as well as a cleansing spray or an aerosol that you would buy in the supermarket change or stop the scent being emitted that's what allowed him to completely shut down the scent in the car Max's tacked was unlike any other that's why so many people feared him in the business world after his father's death and inheriting the company Max was ruthless quickly changing up the way that they worked removing the bad images from the corporation and replacing it with a more in air quotes friendly approach that fooled the public into believing that the business was completely harmless and had nothing to do with anything bad they just simply sold medication to help people feel better but deep down Max knew it was never about helping people it was never about producing truly good medicine it was out of the power that he spent so much time working the more he improved the business the more improved for him the better he would look in the eyes of the public and soon the better he would look in the eyes of the world
