Teeth & Claws

By Bradley Shadows

The alley reeked of piss, blood, and fear.

Caleb staggered back, his breath ragged, his body burning from the inside out. His hands trembled, fingers twitching like they were ready to break-ready to change. He could hear his heartbeat pounding, too loud, too fast, too strong.

"Stay down," the man in front of him ordered. Black tactical gear. Combat boots. The kind of guy who'd seen war. The kind of guy who knew how to put things down. "You don't want to do this."

Wrong.

Caleb wanted to rip the bastard's throat out.

A gunshot cracked the night. White-hot pain seared through his ribs. His vision blurred, tunneling into something red, animalistic. His pulse thundered in his ears, drowning out everything except one thing-the change.

Bones cracked. Skin split. Muscles twisted and realigned. The bullet popped out of his body as his flesh rewove itself, stronger, faster. His human self burned away, leaving only instinct, hunger, and rage.

The hunter's eyes went wide.
