All Chapters of Fangs And Fur: A Werewolf Story : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

It was a hot summer night in July. The people of Perkins were either outside their homes, trying to catch a stray breeze or populating any of the clubs and bars downtown. It was a sleepy little town, but it came alive on days like these, when there was little else to do than to watch the twinkling stars outside or party till sunrise.Clyde Roberts was behind his counter, having a busy night as customers came and went. This was his favourite time of the year, when everyone suddenly needed a cold bottle of beer to try and wash away the sweltering heat of summer. He was all smiles as he cleaned a glass with a dust rag, a glowing cigar bouncing in his mouth.Things had been very heated up in the town some few weeks back, when the Russian laboratory in the nearby woods had suddenly gone derelict. The Russian scientist who had made the laboratory his abode for more than two decades had mysteriously disappeared, and so had the people working for him. Cops and other authorities usually ignore

Eric's heart raced as he ventured deeper into the dense forest. He still had no idea where he was headed, but the pull in him was getting stronger. As he walked, he thought of Lauren, his mind consumed with thoughts of her safety. Every step he took was guided by an unexplainable force, a magnet pulling him towards something unknown. It was as though the attack from those rabid wolves had somehow tied him to them, forced his will under theirs and made him do things that an otherwise sane Eric would have objected to.The weight of the responsibility Lia had placed on him pressed heavily, but he was determined to protect Lauren from her vicious father, no matter the cost. He stopped and stared through the canopy of leaves and branches above. The sun was beginning to rise already, painting where he stood a brilliant mix of orange and yellows. Hikers and other nature-loving people would soon come out for their rounds: perhaps a quick rest wouldn't be so bad anyway. He would rest for some

Eric's heart skipped a beat at Doctor Makovsky's words. Lure Lauren and her mother here? "What do you plan to do with them?" He asked, his voice betraying a hint of defiance. "Why drag them into this? You already did that, didn't you? You used Aidan to kidnap Lauren so she could be with you. And it didn't work."Doctor Makovsky's smile widened, breaking through his poker face. "Sure, it didn't work the first time, because neither of them wanted to be with me. But this time...""...Things will be different." Eric echoed. He looked up at Doctor Makovsky slowly. "This time, you're using a bait. Me.""I want my family to witness firsthand the extent of my power and influence." The doctor continued. "They have defied me for far too long, thinking they could escape my grasp. But they will soon realize that no one can escape the fate I have designed for them. Katherine...she's a strong woman. And I know she loves her cop husband. But ultimately, she belongs to me, and so does Lauren. They're

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

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.
