Since all is well, keep it so: wake not a sleeping wolf. William Shakespeare. Alpha Armstrong looked up from his papers with no emotion on his face to give Hugh any clue as to why he was there. Hugh held the Alpha’s gaze keeping his expression as blank as he could. “Remember that deal you did a couple of years ago for the tenements in Edinburgh?” asked Alpha Armstrong. After a brief pause, Hugh realised that the Alpha hadn’t got him there to talk about Annie, he pulled his senses together and mustered an answer. “Yes Alpha, we did very well out of it as I remember.” “Well I hear from my contacts that another has come up for sale and they are trying to sell it on the quiet. It seems they don’t want to deal with us again, I wonder why?” said Alpha Armstrong with a wry smile. “Look at price and if you think they are worth it, buy them for half the asking price using any method you have to.” “Yes Alpha” replied Hugh feeling unbelievable relief. The Alpha handed him a file with all t

For the man dealt in a lost land of boulders and broken men. G.K. Chesterton Edward Addison sat at his desk silently fuming, he had just has a meeting with Adair the stupid prick son of his cousin and his thoughts were running out of control. Just when he had tried to do something almost legitimate he’d been out manoeuvred once again. He needed this tenement badly as his illegal activities had generated so much money he was having trouble moving it through his usual channels, currently he had £120,000 pounds piled up in a warehouse across town and he needed to move it. He flicked through the file Adair had got from Crozier, where the fuck the guy got his information from he had no idea, it was all there though, everything, every plant he had in place, the routes of the drugs, the money, everything. “FUCK” he shouted out loud. The first time was bad enough, he’d only let it go because it had taken years and a lot of money to get Adair in place but Crozier was taking the piss now.

He’s mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf. William Shakespeare. Thompson was pissed off, he had been sat outside Hugh’s apartment building for almost twenty four hours and there was no sign of the fucker. They had been sat out here in shifts since fucking Wednesday and there was no sign of him, he had gone north but surely he had to come back at some point. Every time a car left the building, if they couldn’t see who was in it they had to follow it. So far, he’d followed someone to visit their parents, he’d tailed someone to dinner and another to the airport for fucks sake. Thompson was starting to think he had made a mistake and the fucker wasn’t in there at all. This had to be where he’d had gone, otherwise Crozier had rounded a corner and disappeared in a puff of smoke so he must live here, right? This was taking too much man- power as far as Thompson was concerned, there were four cars here all just waiting. Addison was really spooked by this guy and Thompson didn’t blame hi

Bathed in his darkness he howls my name, pure blooded and true I follow him into the moonlight. N.R. Hart. Knox and Sabine ran for hours, relishing the feel of the ground rising up the mountainside under their paws and the wind blowing their fur out behind them. Annie looked forward to these runs as much as she looked forward to her weekends with Hugh. On reaching the summit, as they rested for a minute by a small tower of stones, Hugh mind linked Annie. “My daughter has asked that you come for Wolf Moon Dinner next month.” “Oh!” answered Annie, surprised, “That sounds great, I’d like to meet her.” “Yeah the thing is, it won’t just be Lyall, it will be everyone, Lyall and her mate, Lennox and his and all the kids.” “Oh, right.” thought Annie hesitantly. “I’ll understand if you rather not, I mean I can see that it would be quite daunting.” Hugh added quickly. “No it sounds great, really.” answered Annie. “We would probably leave the next day as I haven’t told Alpha Armstrong

Dark Wolf, You are as dark as night But I hope to see a white heart. Feathertail. Hugh and Lennox entered the building quietly after removing their trousers and shirts and hiding them outside the building in case they needed to shift. Knox tried to push Hugh up the stairs towards Annie but Hugh pulled him back, Annie was safe, he was beginning to wonder why he had been so worried, he should have known she was more than capable of taking care of herself against humans. What Hugh needed was to know how many they were up against, in nothing but their shorts, they crept along a corridor towards the sound of a radio. At the end of the corridor was a set of wooden double doors each with a window made of toughened glass. The radio was tuned into a local radio station and as Hugh and Lennox peeked through the window, they could see seven or eight men in dust masks and white overalls sat at a large bench weighing and bagging up what looked like class A drugs, either heroin or cocaine, Hugh
