Everything starts with blood.
Not as a shock.
As something that was always there.
Bulldogg has lived a life where violence, loyalty, and silence blur into the same thing. Where every choice narrows the path until there's nothing left to choose.
But when reality catches up to him - in his own home, in his own children - looking away is no longer an option.
Shari sees something different. Not the patch. Not the reputation.
What's left underneath.
Somewhere between what was and what can't be ignored anymore, something begins to take shape.
Not a club. Not yet.
Something more fragile than that.
Wolfhound isn't built on strength.
It's built on what survives.
On people who aren't saved.
But stay anyway.
And when the past comes back for them, there's only one choice left:
Stand.
Or disappear.
