Dog Man: An Epic Novel Novels & Stories

He would hunt me down in whatever part of the world I disappeared to. I agreed to his conditions and I started working with him. Maria was very surprised that Dante was willing to let me work. On my first day, I met Geremia, who was Dante's cousin and head of security. "I finally meet Dante's little pet," he told me. "I am not his pet", I fired back at him. He chuckled in response and patted my head. "Little and fierce. He has always had a thing for fierce creatures" he replied. "What do you mean?" I asked curiously.

***************** Dracula had met one of the dogman's the previous day and asked for their help in the search of the one who had interrupted their ritual and ran with the entity. It was sunny and the clouds were like white cotton candies in the sky, meaning Dracula would fry to death if he had dared to step foot out. "Darn you, Azel!" He cursed and watched as the dogman rushed out of his house, stopping every now and then to sniff the ground. Three hours gone and the dogman returned with his tongue hanging out and his eyes as red as a Ruby gemstone. "I found something." He spoke, transforming back into a man with black hair and no clothes. "Hop on my back."

Before she can even step out, Red and Dark shove past her and run to our simple little run-down cabin. A tired sigh made her shoulders slump. She placed her hand in his, and the man helped her from the cabin while White waited stoically. Only when she looks back at him does he leap down. Dust billowed around his white fur, but he didn't take a step forward until Pearl did. He kept a quiet pace with her, and she kept a slow pace with the solid bag the men carried for her. The two men give the hellhound lounging near her door a shifting look. The pet’s crimson eyes followed their movements, but it didn’t so much as lift his lazy head. Pearl bent and pushed her fingers through his coarse hair,

“Where was I again? Ah. Right…” The story. “It was about a dog,” I said lazily. “A small, greedy thing… well respected among the others. The leader of its pack. It had everything it should have, everything at its level, anyway.” A rogue lunged from my left. I caught his wrist mid-strike, twisting, bone snapping under my grip like dry wood. Before he could scream, I drove him into the ground, the impact cracking beneath us as a wild grin stretched across my lips.

“And one day, while I was in one of my fake disguises,a barista at a café, you walked in. I noticed the awkward energy around you and how tired you looked, yet you gave your turn in the queue to two older women. You stood there like your mind wasn’t even with you. You took your order and left. ‘What a weird girl,’ I said to myself. A few weeks later, that same human girl from the coffee shop was in my territory, at the pack doctor’s house? I was more than shocked. That was when I picked your scent. It was the same as when I first met you. But when we met again at school, you scented differently. I’m a master of disguise. That was how I realized,you’re a human among wolves.”

Would anyone else be able to save her? Fay was considering this when the insane dog came running. "Woof!" it said, opening its huge mouth to try to bite her arm. Fay let out an uncontrollable scream. At this crucial juncture, a man swiftly approached her and shielded her. She could only see his silhouette since he moved so quickly. He then grabbed a stone off the ground and gave the crazed dog a forceful blow to the head. The insane dog continued to bark after a loud impact. The man then struck it several more times. The crazed hound was dead inside this time.

"Elena, are you a dog? Why do you always come sniffing around?" Her face turned red with anger. She was about to snap back at me when a tall figure stepped out from behind her. It was Antonio. He was wearing a casual suit, looking like he was on vacation. When he saw my dirt-stained face, his expression shifted to one of surprise. "What's going on?" he asked Elena, but his gaze never left me. Elena immediately faked a tearful expression, her eyes turning red. "Don Antonio, I didn't expect Bella to find out that we're here and stalk us all the way here. I just wanted to talk to her about it, but she cursed at me..."

She asked, his eyes moved back to her. “Just a few minutes back,” he replied, “Did you bring Dimitri with you too?” she asked, “Yes,” he replied while turning back and I noticed a german shepherd running towards us. The color of his fur looked beautiful under the sunlight. He looked huge and powerful but to me, he looked like a living teddy bear. I watched as Penelope pet him and he kept licking her face. I stood aside and watched Penelope and Flora with Roman and Dimitri. They must be very close to the boy and the dog, I thought while watching them.

One hand around her neck the other handing by his side, he had long sharp nails and I think I heard a roar from him. The roar was less guttural than that of the one I heard from Cain but it instilled fear just as successfully. What caught my attention most was his burning red eyes in the dark. The sight terrified me to the bone. This was different from the wolves, they had a sense of warning and intimidation to them but from this man, I only sensed death.

“We only need to speak with her.” “Access denied,” the man snapped, raising his bow. My men bristled, ready to tear him apart, but Novel held up a hand. She took a slow, cautious step forward into the "no-man's-land" between the two groups. “I know why your pack is dying,” she said, her voice ringing clear through the ruins. The man scoffed. “You know nothing, girl. Run back to your protector before you end up dead.” My blood turned to fire. I reached for him, my claws ready to lengthen, but Novel’s gaze stopped me. I let out a frustrated huff, forced to trust her.
