It was well into the night, lights having dimmed in every building on the block, with the last one followed shortly by a male anthropomorphic citizen -a canine, to be precise, stepped out through the front doors of the skyscraper and making sure they...

War of the Wolf: Tartan King

Battle for Hadleigh Chapter 7: Rekindled
