The three canisters sat on the workbench. They held the key to everything, or perhaps, the ultimate destruction.

Cane stared at them, his posture rigid.

“We have it,” he rumbled.

“Now we find the antidote. We use this to disarm them.”

Viper let out a disbelieving laugh. He tossed his cigar butt into a rusted bucket with a hiss and reached for his silver flask.

“Antidote? Cane, what in the hell are you talking about? You think we got a lab full of eggheads and microscopes in here? We’re a damn u

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   The Blood-Hound Pack

    Viper stood before us, the canister clutched in his hand, his face of terrifying excitement. The scouts, Rico among them, stood in a tight semicircle, their faces of nerves and awe. This was it. The moment of no return.“Alright, Cane,” Viper said, his voice hoarse, a tremor of anticipation running through it.“Give me the good stuff.”Cane, his expression grim, took a deep breath. He had a small, sterile syringe. With a precise motion, he drew a small amount of his own blood, thick and dark, into the syringe. This wasn't just blood; it was his essence, his very alpha nature, being offered as a sacrifice.He injected a measure of his blood directly into the amber serum canister Viper held. The glowing liquid swirled, taking on a silver sheen as Cane’s DNA infused with the concoction. It looked beautiful, deadly, like moonlight captured in glass.Viper didn't hesitate. He uncapped the canister, raised it, and, with a gulp, swallowed some of the glowing contents."Bottoms up," he says a

Cane, what in the hell are you talking about? You think we got a lab full of eggheads and microscopes in here? We’re a damn underground militia, not a pharmaceutical company. What we have is a weapon. The same weapon they used. It’s already been developed to turn men into… well, into what Silas is. Or, what his soldiers are.”He gestured to the canisters with a cynical twist of his lips.“This isn’t about reversing the process. This is about leveling the playing field. We’ve got the base serum right here. And we’ve got the booster, the stuff that made those Iron Claw monsters flip trucks like toys. That’s what we need

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   This Is Our Territory

    I checked my side mirror. Five sets of LED headlights were cutting through the darkness behind us, arranged in a tight formation.They weren't police. These were Aegis Zenith tactical outriders, mounted on pitch-black electric interceptors that were faster than standard bikes, heavier, and they outmanned us five to two."They're closing, Cane!" I yelled into the comms."I see them," Cane’s voice came through, low and steady even though he was leaning his Wraith so far into a ninety-degree turn that his knee-puck sparked." They’re trying to pit-maneuver us into the concrete. Don't let them get alongside."The Aegis riders moved with synchronized precision. Two of them split off, surging forward to flank me. I saw the lead rider reach for something on his thigh."Oh no, you don’t," I hissed.I kicked the Ghost down two gears, the engine screaming in a pitch that felt like it would shatter the fairings. I steered sharply toward the nearest rider, faking a collision. He flinched, his fro

    Cane stood by the pedestal, his fingers curled around the canisters of glowing, amber serum. He was right; the clock was ticking.But my curiosity took over once again."We need to know the 'why', Cane," I whispered, my voice echoing in the cold."Make it fast, Eloise."I went further through the folder. The first thing I saw wasn't a military record, but a grainy, scanned police report from twenty-five years ago. A small town in the Appalachian foothills. The photos were black and white."It started with a slaughter," I murmured, scanning the lines."Silas was sixteen. Caspian was ten. Their parents were killed. A rogue pack tore through their farmhouse in the middle of the night. The report says the boys were found in the root cellar. Silas had pinned Caspian to the floor, covering the boy's mouth so hard he nearly bruised his jaw, while they listened to their parents being eaten alive through the floorboards. The report says their parents' blood rained down on them. Caspian was dre

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   The Heist

    Cane and I were crouched on our bikes at the mouth of the bypass, two miles out from the marina. The water here was bone-chillingly cold. The air in the tunnel smelled of wet concrete. Above us, the muffled sound of midnight traffic on the coastal highway was the only reminder that a world of light still existed.Viper and his men were stationed on the surface in "civilian" cars, idling in the parking lots of nearby parks, ready to jam the marina’s local comms and create a distraction the moment we breached the interior.“Comms check,” I whispered into my helmet, the sound of my own breathing loud in my ears.“Loud and clear, Princess,” Viper’s voice crackled through the earpiece.“The tide is at its peak. You’ve got a four-minute window before the pressure in that pipe becomes too much for the engines to fight. Once you’re in, you’re in. If you stall, I can’t pull you back out.”Cane looked at me, his visor up. His amber eyes were glowing in the dark. He reached out, his gloved hand

  • The Wolfpack's New Receptionist   How Do We Get In?

    When Cane and I stepped through the heavy steel door, Viper was hunched over a rusted map table that looked like it had been salvaged from a naval scrap heap. The table was covered in hand-drawn blueprints and scribbled notes. Surrounding him were three of his most trusted scouts.“...impossible to hit from the street,” one of the scouts, a man known as Rat, was saying.His finger tapped a specific point on a blueprint of a waterfront estate.“The security at the perimeter is Aegis Zenith tactical. If you try to go through the front, you’ll be dead before you see the door.”Cane moved past me. He leaned over the table, his knuckles white as he gripped the edge of the metal.“Give me a reason why we’re staring at blueprints instead of riding to the Glades,” Cane growled.“Every minute we sit here in this hole, Silas is killing my Pack. I can feel them, Viper. I can feel their pain.”Viper slowly straightened up, a silver flask in one hand and a cigar in the other. He took a long drag,
