Beth's truck was parked in front of the facility on the other side of the road. The rain had stopped, her windshield fogged and dripping with water. She looked at the building with mixed feelings of fear and hatred. She'd worked here for so long, longer than she wanted to dwell on.

The place had been a mental and physical prison, and she had thought she would never escape from there. Dr Makovsky had had a hold on her: he'd convinced her that the things they were doing were for a greater good. She had never been a very strong-willed person, and her fragile will had crumbled under the doctor's influence. He had a way with words, that man. Deep down her conscience knew nothing she was doing was any good, but she'd managed to convince herself that it was.

Until she had Changed Mike on that fateful night, four years ago. How the doctor had convinced her that the serum she made was to change a werewolf back to human, she didn't know. But she'd found herself making the serum, although someth

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    Battle

    "Oh, whoa and a half!" Axel exclaimed, his mouth gaping open. The number of werewolves that poured out from the forest was impressive, and Axel was truly in awe as they faced Dr Makovsky's horde, snarling and pawing the ground."That's Jacob's pack!" Beth whispered, shaking her head proudly "He had a change of mind! They came through for us!"Dr Makovsky was momentarily shocked by the appearance of more wolves. He looked like he had been expecting people, not werewolves. But he quickly rearranged his expression and faced the werewolves head on. The largest of the wolves, a black monster with flecks of gray in his coat and teeth like a shark's, gave a panting doglike grunt. As he moved forward, between one step and the next he seemed to curl and change like a piece of paper in flames. The wolf became a stocky curly-haired man that Beth recognised as Alpha Jacob."We didn't come for a fight." They heard Alpha Jacob say to Dr Makovsky "We came for one of ours whom you seem to have with y

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    Saved

    The sound of battle had roused Aidan from where he was sitting. He was still on the rooftop, had been there since Dr Makovsky had subdued him with just a flick of his wrist. A whole day had passed since that incident, and Aidan had left the roof only for bathroom breaks and lunch. He couldn't leave the facility yet: he hadn't gotten the antidote he wanted. Besides, he had no other place to go now.Before he'd come to Dr Makovsky for help, he had been a free bird of sorts, squatting with people who would keep him, moving aimlessly, never staying in one place for too long. He'd shuttled between Perkins, Rodstone and other small towns in the area. Even Beacontown had been no stranger to his wanderings. He'd once stayed for a week with an old lady mere houses away from where Lauren lived. He'd seen Lauren once or twice although she'd never seen him, and so when Dr Makovsky had asked him to be his eyes and ears, he'd been able to find her easily. Aidan raked his fingers through his dark ha

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    Silver Agony

    "I thought this night wouldn't get any better." Aidan said sarcastically, his eyes glowing with barely concealed anger. His father, once he saw who they were, began to Change from his wolf from to his human self. He walked forward, keeping a safe three meters between himself and his son."You have guts, son. Coming back here." Jacob said. His voice was cutting, but his eyes were calm with a hint of sadness. Lauren could tell that he was trying not to let the emotions get to him."After all that you've done, you shouldn't even think of coming back." He continued. "Release the women to me and go, and never come back again."Aidan on the other hand wasn't as calm as his father. He gripped Katherine convulsively and glowered. Lauren could feel the anger rolling off him in waves. "You're a fine one to talk." He growled."I never wanted to be like this." He continued, his voice quivering "I wanted to have a normal life, finish high school, go to college. And you ruined my life. I could have

    "Fuck!" Beth screamed and kicked at the door. She was at Dr Makovsky's office door with Axel, her nerves severely frayed. They'd gotten to the door in order to fetch the manuscript for the werewolf antidote, only to find out that his office was under lock and key. She should have known. That manic doctor wouldn't leave his office open, not even if the building was on fire. She'd worked for him for years, she should have known what he would do."Fuck fuck fuck!" She swore angrily and hit the metal door. The door wasn't like any normal door. There was a doorknob in it, but no keyhole, which meant that it was opened or locked through some other means. Whatever. The door was locked, period.The hallway in which they stood was eerily empty. All the scientists that worked for Dr Makovsky had used the sacking of the science laboratory as an opportunity to escape, almost as if they'd been waiting for the opportunity. Only the security alarm still blaring and the sounds of battle outside coul

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    Anger

    Lauren glared at her reflection in the mirror and raked her hands through her chestnut hair. She felt frustrated, hopeless and on edge, moreso because she had been waiting for Lia for hours. Dammit, where was the she-wolf when you needed her?She dropped her hands and picked up her phone to check the time, making a mental note to give the werewolf girl a good shaking when they meet. Her eyes immediately traveled to the metal band around her left wrist and she shook it experimentally, knowing it would do nothing. The band wouldn't break, no matter how many times she shook her wrist. She had tried everything from incessant pulling to screwdrivers and knives to even dipping her hand in the fireplace, hoping the thing would melt off but no luck. She'd suffered a first degree burn but it had healed pretty fast, which made her even more furious. She didn't want to heal if it meant the wretched band would still be on her wrist.She groaned and stood up from her vanity mirror and paced her ro

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    Funeral

    They went to the burial site in Beth's van. Axel drove with Beth in the passenger seat and Lia, Lauren and Mike at the back. The journey was spent in relative silence, as they were all dreading the tears and howls they knew would happen at the funeral.Lauren was left in silence to think about everything that had happened in the past few weeks. She seemed to have grown several decades older since she'd first heard about the captured werewolf in the woods from Eric. So many things had happened since then, good and bad.Her heart lurched again as she thought of the first time she had seen Aidan: an injured lone wolf in a cage full of police dogs. Her heart had gone out to him since then. Now she knew that all that had been a ruse by him to get to to her, but it didn't stop her smiling with nostalgia as she thought of that time.She knew Aidan had gone through a lot since his father Bit him and left him for dead. Her own change had been better in every way; she'd had Beth and Axel to hel

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    Rabid

    Lauren led Aidan to her cabin, a safe distance from the funeral site. The place was the same as the last time she'd been there, only that she'd left Aidan in the cabin and he had not locked the door. It swung open easily and she padded in with Aidan following suit.The sleeping bags they had used during the last full moon had been packed, most probably by Aidan. The floor was dusty and the corners were full of cobwebs from weeks of unuse. Lauren walked over to a threadbare sofa before the only window in the room and leaned forward to open the curtains. Then she turned and sat on the sofa, smiling at him."Come on." She said, patting the seat beside her "Come sit with me."He moved forward slowly and came to sit by her. She saw that he tried to leave a safe distance between them on the sofa and she moved forward, closing the space. She looked at his face and saw that he was looking at her with a terrified look. He looked trapped, like a deer before the headlights of a truck, about to b

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    Blackout

    At some point mid-run she morphed into wolf, a terrified chestnut-coloured beast running through the forest like the wind. Somewhere in the corner of her mind that wasn't populated by fear she worried about what was happening at her cabin, if Aidan was fine. They were very similar emotions, worry and fear, and she soon she found herself scared that something would happen to him.Within minutes she found herself at the site of the funeral. She looked around frantically, but everyone was gone. The funeral seemed to have ended. The chairs had been packed and the black decorative drapes had been folded and put away. She snorted in frustration and turned her back on the funeral site, running towards her house on all fours.She got to the back lawn of her house that connected the house to the woods and stopped in front of the hedges for a moment. She looked behind her at the depth of the forest, it seemed to be full of suspicious, eerie movements. She shuddered, shaking her large brown wolf

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    FIRE AND SHADOWS

    The sight stopped Lauren in her tracks.The room was massive, its walls lined with industrial shelves and crates. But it wasn’t the size or the clutter that made her freeze.It was the wolves. Dozens of them, filling the space, their eyes glowing with an unnatural red light. Each one snarled and snapped, their lips pulled back to reveal razor-sharp teeth. Lauren had forgotten just how terrified she was of these animals. She'd never seen so many of her father’s creations in one place before. These weren’t ordinary wolves. They were rabid, their movements jerky and their stares too focused.“They’re waiting for something,” Aiden muttered under his breath, stepping slightly in front of her. Lauren’s throat was dry. “Yeah,” she whispered. “A signal from my father to attack us.”The wolves didn’t attack, but their growls deepened as another sound entered the room: a door creaking open. Lauren and Aiden turned sharply toward it.From a side entrance, Dr. Makovsky stepped into view, wipin

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    THE SUSPICIOUS BARMAN

    "Wait!"Lauren stopped suddenly in front of a small building that was a bar. The bar in question was different. Its windows were dark, and the sign above the door was faded and cracked, barely legible in the faint glow of a streetlamp.“Aiden,” she whispered, tugging his arm. “Circle back.”He frowned but followed her lead, doubling back until they stood in front of the bar. Lauren pressed her face against the glass, squinting to get a better look inside.There was only one person inside, a lone barman. He was wiping down a glass, his round face glistening with sweat under the dim lights. The place was empty. No patrons, no music, not even a hint of life. “This doesn’t feel right,” Lauren muttered.Aiden glanced at her. “It’s Perkins. Nothing here feels right.”Lauren ignored him. How could this bar be empty when the rest of the town was practically bursting at the seams with music and alcohol? It made no sense.“I’m going in,” she said abruptly, already placing her hand on the door.

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    PERKINS

    Running as a wolf was exhilarating. The forest blurred past Lauren, trees and shadows twisting together into a single dark ribbon. She felt the earth under her paws, the wind streaking through her fur, the thundering of her pack all around her. It had been so long since she last did something like this, and for a few brief, wild moments, it was easy to forget why they were running in the first place.Eric.Aiden ran beside her, his sleek black wolf larger and faster than the others. His golden eyes flicked toward her, and for a split second, Lauren thought she saw something in them. Determination, maybe. Or worry. Whatever it was, it pushed her to run harder.Soon the edge of the forest came into view. Perkins was never much to look at. It was a grimy little town with cracked pavement and neon signs that flickered like they were running on borrowed time.Lauren shifted back into her human form first, and walked around to thaw herself out. She wiggled her fingers that were stiff from t

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    PREPARATION

    Lauren stepped outside, frowning when she saw Beth and her mother, Katherine, hovering near the doorway, clearly listening in. She folded her arms and asked, “What exactly are you two doing out here?”Beth and Katherine exchanged a sheepish look. “We were…just curious,” Katherine admitted, glancing away.Beth nodded, her voice quieter as she added, “We wanted to know what was going on. It sounded…serious.”Before Lauren could respond, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned to see Mike emerging from the room, looking more relaxed than he had a moment ago. Katherine noticed him as well and asked, “Is everything okay now?”Mike nodded. “It’s fine for now, but we need to focus on stopping Dr. Makovsky for good.”Lauren’s stomach tightened. Just the mention of that name was enough to make her blood boil. But before she could reply, she heard something—a series of voices and footsteps coming from outside the house. Her heart jumped, and without a word, she moved quickly toward the front

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    MIKE'S CONFESSION

    Mike sat in silence for minutes, while Lauren waited. His face was shadowed by more than exhaustion; it was weighed down by something that couldn’t be spoken aloud. She’d been around him long enough to know his moods, but this was different. This was heavy and dark. “So, you found him,” she prompted. She tried to keep her voice steady, almost afraid of setting him off. "Did he...did Scott recognize you?"Mike didn’t respond at first. His hands clenched together on the table, knuckles white. “He wasn’t...he wasn’t Scott anymore.”Lauren bit her lip, not sure of what to say. She knew what he was hinting at but was terrified to hear it. “Mike… are you saying he was—?”“Rabid,” he finished, voice cold, clipped. “I went there to ask him for help, and I found... a monster. A wolf that wanted nothing but to tear me apart. And the worst part? I could see him—Scott. My friend. My best friend… just trapped, like a ghost, in those cursed red eyes.”Lauren reached for him, her fingers hovering n

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    IN THE SILENCE OF GRIEF

    Lauren paced in Beth's living room, her footsteps echoing off the walls as she wrung her hands. She kept glancing between the clock and the front door. "Lauren, this room is too small for your pacing." Beth groaned. "You're making me sick just looking at you.""They should be back by now," Lauren muttered aloud, then turned to Beth. "Right? They should be back by now!"Her mother, seated on the couch beside Beth, gave her a comforting look, but it did little to ease Lauren's anxiety. "Maybe they're just taking time to rally the wolves. Things like this take time, Lauren," her mother said softly, though Lauren could tell she was concerned as well.Lauren scoffed and walked the length of the living room again. "For them to be taking this long, something must've gone wrong," she replied, glancing down at her wristwatch. The hands pointed to nine p.m., and she felt the knot of dread tightening in her stomach. Every minute that ticked by felt like a countdown she couldn't control.Without

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    THE LAST FIGHT

    Aiden’s body screamed in pain. His chest felt like it had been cracked open. Every breath felt like he was inhaling needles. He could hear muffled voices nearby, but his mind struggled to focus, swimming in and out of the haze. Slowly, he began to make sense of the conversation around him.“I’ll kill you if you touch him again!” That was Lia’s voice, fierce and sharp.Alpha Lyall chuckled darkly. “You think you’re in a position to make threats, little girl? You should be more worried about your own life.”“Let her go!” Axel’s voice broke through. “We’re not here for trouble, alright? We didn’t come to fight! Just let her go!”Aiden groaned, trying to push himself up. His arms shook from the effort, and his head spinned as the pain pulsed through his skull. His eyes barely opened, and through the blur, he saw Lyall towering over Lia, his hand wrapped around her throat. Axel was being restrained by two other Alphas, his face twisted with helplessness as he struggled against their grip.

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    THE CONFRONTATION

    Aiden stepped into the large alcove of trees. His heart was roaring as he crossed the invisible line that marked the borders of his father’s old pack. The air here was different, heavier, filled with memories of the past and the burden of what he knew had been happening. His eyes roamed around the dense foliage, and through the shadows, he saw pairs of eyes staring back at him—watchful, wary. The pack members in hiding.He swallowed hard, forcing himself not to break under their silent gaze. These were the people he had come to save. This was what was left of the strongest, largest pack in Beacontown. His father's pack. And now, they hid in the shadows, oppressed by those who should have protected them.In the middle of the camp, the hearth was burning low. And there, to one side and around a wooden table, sat the reason for all the suffering: the Council of Alphas.Seven of them, haughty-looking men, all dressed in fine suits that seemed out of place in the wildness of the forest.

  • Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story    RAVEN'S ADVICE

    The forest was eerily quiet, save for the soft crunch of leaves beneath their boots. Axel and Lia moved ahead, their heads bent close together as they whispered back and forth. Aiden couldn’t hear what they were saying—not that he cared to. He needed to be alone. His mind was too loud, filled with a thousand thoughts clashing like swords.Aiden trailed behind, letting the shadows of the trees swallow him whole. It was better this way.He knew what had to be done once they reached his father’s old pack. And he knew he had to prepare himself for it.Aiden’s eyes scanned the treeline, his senses sharp. The familiar scent of pine and earth filled the air, mingling with the distant scent of something faintly metallic, almost like blood. Familiar for an area populated by werewolves.His stomach twisted at the thought, but he pushed it aside. This was no time to show weakness. He had to be ready.Suddenly, there was a rustle behind him.Aiden’s body tensed, and he stopped in his tracks, his
