Prologue: The School Of Hard KnocksDarkened Alley Way, Outside Leonetti's Restaurant, Temple City... Unyielding and merciless hunger pains ripped through the body of a small and incredibly thin lad with slick black hair down to his shoulders and crisp blue eyes as he attempted to make himself move through the dark black puddles on the rain-slick sidewalk as the cold and disorientation brought on by his slow starvation made it quite difficult for him to navigate the vast streets and winding alleyways before him. He was shirtless, one could see the thin build of his muscle tone and a bit of his ribcage from one glance when anyone bothered to look upon him. His legs were covered in torn and ill-fitting brown trousers that seemed to ride up his caves as he ran. His feet were bare, a mistake if ever there was one to be made given all the dirt and grime on the streets and sidewalks. They were covered in water and filth as he continued his long run zipping by establishment after est
Chapter 36: A Most Indecent ExposureThe Bedroom, Apartment 42, The Bowerstone Apartment Complex, 4th And Flint Street, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... Once more Baddwulf found himself awakening in bed alone as Amanda had already taken off before he'd elected to open his eyes. Staring up at the ceiling in the center of his king-sized bed had been something he had not often had time to do given his busy schedule but he did a bit of reflecting now and again. Despite his disappointment at not having her around come morning, he supposed it was a lot easier than having an awkward morning after conversation given all they had done the previous night. Baddwulf sighed as he took a few moments to collect himself and shake the thoughts of the previous night from his already weary mind. He yawned and shook himself as he sat up in bed trying more or less to ignore the bulge that tented the sheet that had been wrapped around his waist as he attempted to get his day started. He
Chapter 35: An Ode To Days Gone By The Bedroom, Apartment 42, The Bowerstone Apartment Complex, 4th And Flint Street, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... Baddwulf's eyes opened to find him staring at the ceiling of his apartment bedroom as his bare chest rose and fell in the silence that surrounded him. He felt the rather pleasant weight of Amanda's head resting against his chest and sighed realizing that she had not yet left him, as she'd been prone to doing once she'd had her fill of his cock and ventured back out into the big wide world. His weary mind had been plagued with thoughts both unseemly and whistful as he lay there on his back still staring up at his ceiling and heavily contemplating the what-if portion of his rather chaotic lifestyle. He hadn't much liked the quiet when he'd been home, too much room to think and thinking had never done him any favors. Baddwulf thought back to all the times he and Amanda had ended up in this exact same position. Him lyin
Chapter 34: The Nature Of A Blissful Distraction The Bedroom, Apartment 42, The Bowerstone Apartment Complex, 4th And Flint Street, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... The sound of the headboard beating against the nearby back wall echoed along with the working of the bedsprings and the occasional moans and grunts that had filled Baddwulf's bedroom. Amanda's eyes rolled into the back of her head as her pert breasts bounced in reaction to the jolting rhythm of her lovely naked body moving along Baddwulf's mattress. She'd been glistening with sweat and every bit as hot and bothered as Baddwulf had been during their act as she continued to cling to him. The werewolf brute's body flexed between her thighs rocking her along his bed as he growled and snarled in the wake of her tightness clenching around his cock as he pummeled her sodden sex in the wake of their increasingly desperate need for release. Amanda's moans continued to fill the bedroom as Baddwulf towered above h
Chapter 33: An Intimate Distraction From A Dismal Reality The Bedroom, Apartment 42, The Bowerstone Apartment Complex, 4th And Flint Street, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... Slowly, Amanda led Baddwulf into his bedroom and closed the door behind them. She sighed as she ran her hands along his chest noting his constricting attire and making it a point to remove each article one piece at a time. The glow of Baddwulf's eyes being the familiar golden-yellow hue that often indicated his level of lust put a smile on Amanda's pale face as she finally stripped him down to his trousers and took a moment to kiss along his bare abs and unbuttoned his slacks easily spying her prize as it rose to the occasion to greet her. Amanda looked up and treated Baddwulf to a sly smile before moving her soft warm hand to his massive cock, stroking him as he grunted while looking down at her. He had never been a fan of her sucking him off, as he had been quite keen on kissing her during th
Chapter 32: Passion's Fleeting Spark The Living Room, Apartment 42, The Bowerstone Apartment Complex, 4th And Flint Street, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... Baddwulf had been nearly out cold by the time the door to his apartment had opened by way of a twist of the doorknob and a lone shapely figure stepped inside led by strapping red high heels and a questing pale hand with red fingernails. The lovely and semi-darkened face of one, Amanda Smalls had peered from the shadows as she stepped inside turning and closing the door behind her while taking care to lock it before shifting her focus back onto the slumbering detective sitting with his shirt unbuttoned at the collar in his trousers and black dress socks as he leaned back in his favorite armchair, clutching an empty glass that smelled of strong booze and given to snoring quite a bit. Amanda grinned rather slyly as she approached discarding her coat, and heels as she tossed them onto the sofa and slowly moved her
Chapter 31: Sympathy For The Dead The Living Room, Apartment 42, The Bowerstone Apartment Complex, 4th And Flint Street, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... After calling it a night, once he had come back from the morgue and waited at his office for close to six hours, Baddwulf made his way back to his apartment still a bit puzzled as to what had truly been happening in Temple City and right under his nose. He took a few moments to pour himself a drink, slowly savoring it after all the stuff he'd seen. While he'd been through his fair share of scrapes and dead bodies became the norm for him when living in the Gaelic Isles as a lad where people had been dropping like flies from disease and starvation, even his time in the cold labs had been another situation where he'd seen his fair share of dead bodies pile up, nothing had prepared him for the sick and twisted mutilation of someone he'd seen only a few days ago. Even if that someone was a large bull-headed brute that tri
Chapter 30: An Uneasy Reflection Baddwulf's Office Building, Main Street and Park, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... Smoke filled the office as Baddwulf sat back against his chair and pondered what he'd been knee-deep in since the moment he came back from the morgue. Jake had gone home calling it a night a few hours prior and promised to look in on Sully before heading off. It was a long and unusually quiet night the heat had still been an issue for everyone but the lack of sunlight made it all bearable. Baddwulf had been puzzled as to why so many had turned up dead in the span of a few weeks and then suddenly the back-to-back killing as well as the memory of the rancid figure he'd chased through the alley that had gotten away from him. Feeling restless and how much his reflective habit had been getting to him, Ian Baddwulf turned his attention to his secondary makeshift bar. He had always known when to stock the good stuff courtesy of his contact who smuggled thin
Chapter 29: Pieces And Puzzles Main Street and Park, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... The familiar orange glow of Baddwulf's cigarette seemed to lessen the thin white casing as the rather puzzled werewolf moved along the half-empty sidewalk his mind in deep contemplation. It had been just a few hours ago when he'd gotten into the fight with the overly large brute that spent most of his days and nights guarding the front door of one of the notorious hood Blacky Clay's establishments. Now he'd been on the slab back at the local morgue, his body torn to shreds and his guts spilling out. Baddwulf had not recalled doing that to him he had not even used his claws and awoke in the alley amid the garbage bins. The brute of a Bullman had walked away just fine of his own accord following their fight as far as Baddwulf had known it, he had not registered what had taken place after his initial blackout or if the wolf that lurked inside him had been the cause, most days he'd bee
Chapter 28: A Rancid RecollectionMain Street and Park, The Attison District, Temple City (3040)..... The orange glow of Baddwulf's cigarette had been barely making itself known as the stream of white smoke floated above it as he made his way toward his office, He'd been dressed to impress so to speak from head to tie despite his usual lack of care in terms of getting out the wrinkles. His messy black locks were slick from his most recent shower and neat as he moved along the sidewalk wearing a light grey trench coat and a black suit with shiny black dress shoes as he moved about the sidewalk pondering his next move and what to do about his two main cases. He conceded that he had been a bit brash when it came to wanting to get his hands on Blacky Clay and should have done some recon before storming the place but he had all the information he needed about who'd been on the snide little imp's payrolls, even if it did cost him a few well-healed bruises.Baddwulf had been pondering his
