@troybaines

The time has been set in a time where mystery and murder go hand in hand like love and lies, where alphas can find true love with the right omega. Troy, the pack leader of a wolf mafia, has a deep hatred for cats after the loss of his brother. Life seems humdrum until he comes across an ice dragon that strikes his fancy and has a secret of his own. Things heat up when one of Troy's closest friends turns up dead and the wolf has been accused. What can he do? And who's the real murderer?

Story based on Gary K. Wolf's "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?"


Who Framed The Mafia?

It was a beautiful morning in the city and Troy rubs his eyes as he was waking up to start the day.

Neville, the basset hound butler, came in with a tray full of food and a cup of coffee. "Good morning, sir," he was as he gingerly placed the tray on the empty side of the large bed his employer slept in. "I take it, the usual one night stand, sir?" he asked noticing an array of condoms on the floor.

“Yeah… hope I wasn't to loud… it's been a very stressful few days," Troy said.

"Well, as the alpha head of the mafia, it's only natural that you feel the need to find your perfect half to mate with," said the hound as he picked up the condoms, "Albeit more excessively on the hookups than usual."

“Well I know they are out there somewhere but for now I'll take the stress relief where I can get it" Troy said rubbing his tired face and sat up in bed to enjoy breakfast

"Well, don't forget you have that meeting at the iceberg this evening with the owner, Harold Ajax, sir," he said, "He mentioned gaining a new attraction called 'The Snow Prince'."

“Very interesting. But thanks for the reminder I was going to go there anyways it's Friday, mother performs on Mondays as well. I never miss it" Troy said with a smile

"I'm sure she'll be happy to see you. She's booked a reservation next to the stage so you could see the newest addition," said the butler, "She said, and I quote, 'it could help you find your better half'."

“If I had 50 grand every time I heard her say that" Troy said with a chuckle

"And also, Razor called to say that Piddles is back in town with his gang of cats again," said butler as he pulled out a neatly tailored suit for Troy.

“Oh joy…" Troy said taking his suit

"Should I summon the men to the meeting room?" asked the hound as he stepped into the bathroom and then came back, "I also drew you a bath, sir."

“Great thanks" Troy said as he grabbed his cloths to take into the bathroom. “But no I think should be fine just let everyone know to be on alert"

But when Troy entered the bathroom, he saw no water in the tub. He looked back at his butler who held up a piece of paper with a drawing of a bathtub. "Fooled you," smirked the hound.

“It's to early for jokes" Troy said but couldn't help but laugh

"Your mother also wanted to make sure you start your day off with a smile," he added as he took the empty tray from the bed and then went out of the room.

Troy smiles as he made himself a bath

Hours later, Neville had summoned two imposing wolves to accompany Troy to wherever he needed to go. They stood at attention as their boss approached.

“Dale, Henry how you boys doing?" Troy asked

"We're fine, sir," said Dale as he got into the driver's seat, "Where to?"

“The coffee shop gotta get my extra caffeine kick" Troy smiles

"Yes, sir," said Dale as they drove off to Troy's usual favorite coffee shop. The place was busy with the usual customers, though when Troy entered, everyone went silent.

Troy then got in line to wait like everyone else even though the silence and stares at him

When it was his turn, the cashier asked him, “What will it be? Same as usual?"

“Yes please" Troy said with a smile

She made her way to the espresso machine and then brought out a hot cup just to Troy's liking. Just then, the door opened and in came two cats dressed in big overcoats. One was bigger than the first one and was missing one eye. The second one, had one eye squinting and he smoked a cigar. "Well, long time no see, Baines," said the shorter cat.

“Piddles," Troy said paying for his coffee tipping the barista a large amount to share between the worker

"So, word on the street is that you're trying to find a mate, ain't that right, Blinky?" he asked. "Right, boss," replied the big cat in a deep, gruff voice.

“That's none of your business" Troy said sternly

"If I'm in town, it's all my business, shee?" quipped Piddles stepping closer, "Besides, it wouldn't hurt to broaden territory connections every once in a while."

“Well this is my territory so what are you doing here?" Troy asked taking a sip of his coffee.

"Let's just say it's none of your business either," snarked Piddles, "But if you must know..." He looked around making sure no one was listening, "I'm expecting a package or two."

“Better not be in my turf cause gonna have some issues, pussycat" Troy snarled softly

"Well, don't forget cats have nine lives, shee? Cross my path and you get the concrete paw, shee?" he snarled, "Come on, Blinky. We're leaving, myah." "Coming, boss," replied the one-eyed cat following his leader.

“Pussy" Troy huffed heading back to his limo

"Did Piddles bother you again, boss?" asked Henry looking concerned.

“Yep…went on about his 9 lives bullshit again though," Troy said.

"He's just trying to get under your skin, sir," said Dale, "We all know he's only meow and no scratch."

“Yeah your right but he does have packages coming in as well" Troy said

"You mean catnip and stuff he calls 'milkshine'?" asked Henry.

“I'm sure of it" Troy said finishing his coffee

"Should we intervene, sir?" asked Dale as he rested a hand on his gun belt.

“Nah let's be the better gang" Troy said

“If you say so," said Dale as they drove away.

Through out the day they made various stops checking in on other mafia family members on their business and seeing how businesses that are under his protection are doing and safe from harm and getting payments that are due as well.

Finally, night came and he arrived at the Iceberg Night Club. Henry stepped out to open the door for Troy.

“Thanks," Troy said as he stepped out of the vehicle

Inside, a walrus grinned and went up to welcome the wolf. "Troy, how are you?" he asked shaking Troy's paw.

“I'm good Harold. How's the family?" Troy said with a smile shaking his hand back in return

"Your mother's inside waiting to see you, and my boys were putting on a good show for everyone," said Harold as he led Troy inside to reveal some tigers on the stage.

Troy nods as he went to meet up with his mother and smiled seeing the tigers perform.

"Troy!" said the wolfess waving to her son as he approached and hugged her, "I'm so glad you made it. Aren't these tigers adorable?"

“Honestly, these cats I don't mind. They are adorable." Troy said with a smile hugging the wolfess tightly

"So, have you found your soulmate yet?" she asked, "You know how I want to see you settle down. And I want to spend the rest of my remaining years spoiling my grandchildren."

"Not yet mom...this takes time" Troy said with a smile rubbing her hand

"And shall I ask my boys to get you?" asked Harold as he rejoined them at the table with a beagle waiter came up shirtless except for a bowtie and a jet black speedo with a collar and cuffs.

"Heh nah," Troy would say with a smile

Before long, the tigers had finished their dance and everyone applauded as they left for back stage. Troy's mother sighed as she waved to one of them and he winked back at her. "So cute," she giggled.

Troy chuckles "yeah they are"

Suddenly, there was a throng of wolf whistles, catcalls and cheers as several people came forward to the stage. "Well, here's the main attraction as I promised," whispered Harold winking to Troy, "Almost half the alphas and omegas here want him to be theirs. But he's not that easy." At last, a spotlight fell upon the curtain as a voice began singing. And as the voice sang, out came the Snow Prince, a blue dragon with red hair, bright green eyes, silvery horns, and beige under belly. He wore a pair of white slacks and sparkling waist coat with snowflake patterns. His voice was rich and fluent as he made his way along the stage. As he made his way down, he slowly opened his waist coat to reveal the six pack abs underneath. A lot of the women watching as he passed by crooned and fainted on the spot.

“Whoa..... Who is that?" Troy stared at the Snow Prince

"Nathan Aurora Draco," whispered Harold softly, "The Snow Prince... And an omega."

"No kidding" Troy said as he kept on watching him

Nathan made his way over to them and Harold grinned as the dragon pulled out a handkerchief and was polishing the walrus' head with it. Then he sauntered over to Troy while caressing the wolf. Their scents hit each other like a sledge hammer, though somehow, Nathan managed to continue through it while he watched Troy blush and the wolf's breath grow heavier and his tail wagging. The dragon winked at Troy before slipping something into the wolf's jacket pocket before returning to the stage and the song had finished. Everyone there was applauding and whistling hoping for an encore.

"What...just happened..." Troy asked looking over at Harold in shock at the performance

"I think the prince has sent you a royal invitation," chuckled Harold winking pointing to the card in Troy's pocket: a backstage pass.

“huh... interesting. I better go see what he wants then" Troy said looking at the pass

Back stage, there were several different dressing rooms and each one had the sounds of moaning and flesh against flesh along with the heavy scent of musk in the air.

"heh....well looks like this just ain't about performing as well.." Troy said with a chuckle

When he arrived at the last door, there was a large snowflake that had the letters: "Snow Prince". Troy knocked. "Come in," called a voice from inside. When the door opened, the wolf's nostrils were met by scent of peppermint. But the scent wasn't coming from any air freshener or scented dragon. When Nathan got up to greet him, only then did Troy realize the scent was from the dragon himself. "I'm glad you could come," he said smiling, "Have a seat. Can I get you anything?"

"ummmm at the moment no." Troy would say with a smile as he took a seat

"I'll bet you're wondering why I invited you here," said Nathan as he sat down on a sofa and lay back revealing his slim body. He now wore a soft blue robe that seemed trailed behind him while his wings were wrapped around his shoulders like a cape.

"Yeah I'm curious about that," Troy would say

"Well, let's just say it was an agreement your mother and Harold agreed to see if we're 'compatible for each other' as they put it. Me? I'd like to get know more about someone before diving headfirst. How about you?" he asked as he turned his body to lay on his chest to reveal how round and firm his rear looked to Troy.

“Yeah I agree. Heh well I'm not a fan of being arranged but I don't mind getting to know you and chat." I would say with a smile

"Well, from what I heard, you keep yourself busy as a business man," he said, "So, what is it exactly that you do?"

“A wide variety of things. Just depends on what I'm doing" Troy said

"Not anything illegal hopefully," joked Nathan with a small chuckle.

“Nah" he said with a slight lie but shared the chuckle with him

Nathan smirked. He could tell Troy was hiding but didn't press further. He kept his eyes on the wolf. Studying him. "Well, now that you're here, I'm all yours for tonight," he said, "And if you be a good boy, you can have me for more than one night... If you like."

“Maybe we shall see. Like I said not a fan of arranged meet ups but maybe can see about doing things more and hanging out maybe" Troy said with a smile

"Good, it's settled then," said Nathan sitting up with a bright smile, "Harold already made arrangements for me to come and live with you."

“I'm sorry… what?" Troy says

"That's right," said Nathan, "Your mother called Harold about having one of his workers to come over and keep you company, and he asked me to do it. Naturally, I could never disappoint my adoring fans. But I never imagined it would be with such a tall, handsome wolf as you."

“Well this is my first time meeting you I rather get to know you before I have random people I don't know come stay. I'm open to the idea still but I don't like last minute things being put upon me plus my house is really not in the best shape for people to be staying the night in" I would say sternly yet nicely

"And I suppose you'd like to explain to your mother why you refused the one gift she wanted to give you this very night? Especially when she worked so hard to make it special just for you?" replied Nathan stepping closer and then got on his knees offering Troy puppy eyes. "Won't you give little ol' me a chance?"

“Hehe alright but how about this we can do things in here but I still wanna get to know you before I let ya stay at my house. That sound fair?" He said with a laugh

"Whatever you say," he said as he stood up and straddled Troy's lap and opened his robe to reveal his bare chest to the wolf.

“Looking good Nathan" Troy huffed

"Thanks," said Nathan grinning as he ran his hands all along Troy's broad chest, "Now, it's your turn, stud."

Troy huffed happily as he then undid his shirt and suit revealing his broad chest as well

"So firm," purred the dragon as his hands were feeling the broad pectorals on Troy's chest, "You must work out a lot to have a body this good."

“I work out at least a few hours a day in the evening" Troy said

"And what do you do during the day?" asked Nathan as he began grinding his crotch against the wolf's tinted bulge.

“Mmmmmmm just checking in on my businesses making sure things and running smoothly" Troy said with a huff

"Care to name a few?" asked Nathan as his hand slowly slipped inside Troy's pants to grope his crotch.

“Mmmmmm…a few gun stores….several pawn shops and a few bars…. But also run a really nice restaurant on 5th st." Troy moaned out

"Sounds like the kind of business a guy does when dealing with death," said Nathan surprised, "Guns and pawns? Are you guards or just hunters or something else?"

“You sure are asking a lot of questions for a dancer and singer" Troy said with a huff “you're not a cop are you?"

"Do I look like one?" asked Nathan as he slid down to open up Troy's pants. The moment the fly was open and underwear pulled down, the aroma of wolf musk hit the dragon's nostrils. "Woof!" he huffed softly looking at the fleshy rod before him.

“Mmm heh no but you sure ask a lot of questions like one" Troy smirked as Nathan started at the wolf's hard cock

"Let's just say I'm trying to imagine what type of person the client is," said Nathan smirking, "I have a talent for guessing." He opened his mouth to slowly lick the side of Troy's cock before swirling around the tip.

“Mmmmmm oh yeah then from what you think I am then?" He would say with a huffing moan

"I see you as someone who never worries for anyone outside of your pack," said Nathan as he licked Troy's balls after pulling the wolf's pants down further as he smirked, "And you find me attractive."

“Semi correct. But I do find you attractive though." Troy said with a huff

"See? I do have a talent for guessing," teased Nathan as he leaned up as he whispered, "And I can tell you're looking for your better half." He leaned down as their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss.

“My mom told you that one didn't she" he would say with a soft sigh

Nathan chuckled. "Maybe... But you have this aroma about you... Pine with something else... Lemon? It's sweet... Alluring even."

“Probably my shampoo I use to clean myself with" Troy said with a chuckle petting Nathan's head

"It's not that," said Nathan taking a deep inhale, "It's something spicy yet mild... But I can't... Place..." His words trailed off as the aura was proving too much for him to think straight. He had to stay focused.

“Hehe are you gonna keep sniffing me or we gonna have some sex hehe" Troy chuckles

"Please... Take me," panted Nathan as his own scent was growing heavier and his body was growing hotter.

Troy huffed setting Nathan onto his back on the couch huffing happily rubbing his cock against the dragons entrance

Nathan had opened his robe to reveal his nude body. His cock was hard and leaking pre all the while, but the sweat on his body was producing more musk for the wolf to inhale.

“Mmmmmm you smell so good Nathan.." Troy huffed out

"Please," whimpered Nathan as his heat was unbearable and his insides were cramping and needing relief.

Troy huffed and slowly pushed his cock into Nathan's ass with a huff

The dragon gasped as he felt his inner walls stretch. "Oh! That... That feels good," he moaned panting heavily. He wanted to say it was his first time, but it was already too late at that point. However, he didn't care as a wave of relief came over him as he was taken.

“Mmmmmm god you feel so good inside!!!" Troy moaned now drilling into the dragon deeply and lovingly

"S-So do... You," whimpered Nathan as his cock was still throbbing and leaking pre while his g-spot was being hammered overtime.

“Mmmmmmm I'm gonna blow!!" Troy moaned out loudly

"Do it!" whimpered Nathan, "Cum inside me!" He clung to the wolf as if he was his only source of life, and little did he know, he would be.

Troy moaned loudly cumming hard and deep into the dragon

The dragon gasped as he felt his insides fill up and he felt something cramp up like an egg inside him getting fertilized. He panted heavily as he felt his heat simmer down and he snuggled into Troy's embrace. "That was... Good," he whispered softly.

“Mmmmmmm glad you enjoyed it. Hate to blow and go but after that could use a smoke and a stiff drink" Troy would say with a huff

"Okay... Can I at least have your address and number?" asked Nathan softly, "I'll share mine if you share yours."

“I'll give you my number" Troy would say with a smile handing Nathan a business card which had his name and his phone number and that was it

"Aww... Don't I get to move in?" he asked offering puppy eyes.

“Maybe soon if things go well for us" Troy would say

"Okay," said Nathan smiling as he pulled out his phone, texted Troy's number and waited for the wolf's phone to respond. On Troy's phone, there was an address. "In case you need help," he said smirking, "Not that you'll need it. I'm sure a big wolf like you can hold his own."

“Yeah I'll keep it in mind though" Troy smiles texting back and sure enough he had his address in the response “please don't share that yo anyone." He said his smile turning into a semi serious tone

"I promise," said Nathan softly offering the wolf one last kiss. As Troy left the room, Nathan sighed and looked to his phone. There was another text. This time from the chief of police. "Well, the cover worked," responded the dragon texting back, his heart heavy.

“Good keep in touch" he texts back

Meanwhile, Harold was in the back of his club speaking with someone. "So, Ajax, you got the merchandise?" asked Piddles as he lit a cigar. "Of course, I have the merchandise," said the walrus, "Good," replied Piddles, "I need a case of milkshine, one bag of cement, and three balls of yarn." "Coming right up, Piddles," nodded Harold but as he turned to look inside he stopped, "Looks like someone found the catnip." Piddles looked inside and groaned, "Oh brother!" There was Blinky smelling the catnip and purring as he revealed his muscular chest and rubbing a ball of yarn all over him. "Blinky! I can't take you anywhere, shee..." muttered Piddles when the back door opened to reveal Troy.

“What the fuck is going on here?" The wolf growled angrily

"SCRAM!" yelled Piddles as he picked up Blinky and threw him into the van before driving away. Harold was startled. "Troy, please. I can explain," said Harold.

Troy storms back inside “what's there to explain Harold?" Troy said

"Look, my club is a public place and I have the right to deal business with whoever can fill my pockets. Piddles offered me some ice in return for the milk he keeps asking for to make this milkshine," explained Harold, "Nothing harmful."

“Yeah out of everyone had to be him you had to serve? I pay you well don't I?" Troy said standing next to the door to head out to the floor again.

"Yes, but so do all my other customers," replied Harold, "Honestly, Troy. What's come over you? I thought you'd be happy with a little extra income."

“Nothing" Troy said with a huff

Just then, Nathan and Troy's mother came out. "What's going on out here?" asked the dragon as he was back in his robe again. "It's nothing, Nathan," said Harold, "I'm sorry, Fiona, but Troy caught me during one of my normal business visits."

“Yeah with a rival mafia. Piddles" Troy snarled

"Mafia?" asked Nathan surprised. "Troy, you promised that you wouldn't fight," replied Fiona, "You know how I hate seeing you hold grudges." "It wasn't that big a deal," replied Harold.

"big deal? I don't wanna see you doing business with them again" Troy said going to leave when Harold then said, "Why don't you work with them then?" this then made Troy turn around grabbing Harold and slammed him against the wall "get this straight buck tooth...I DON'T WORK FOR OR WITH CATS!!!" he growled angrily and threw him down to the ground and left angrily. Nathan then quickly helped the walrus up then looks at Fiona who had a very sad look on her face for she now remembered what is causing the outburst "Whats his problem?" Nathan asked for he was now genuinely curious about it

"Cat killed his brother," she said softly, "Drowned him in the river." Nathan was shocked looking back at Troy's disappearing form. "I... I never knew," he said. Harold sighed. "Nathan, how about you and Fiona head home?" he said, "I'll lock up."

They nodded and walked out together "I'm really sorry about the outburst Troy had...ever since Balto was killed he's held a resentment over certain cats." Fiona would say

"Like this Piddles guy?" asked Nathan as they returned to his dressing room where he got dressed again in a t-shirt and jeans. Around his neck was a snowflake necklace. "How long ago did he lose his brother?" he asked.

"About 6 months ago" she would say

"That's awful," said Nathan, "Do... Do you want me to drive you home? My car's parked out front."

"nah. I drove here myself as well, I thank you for the offer and sorry again about Troy's outburst" she would say kissing the Dragon's cheek

"That's okay," said as he accepted the kiss, "Well, if there's anything I can do, just call me." He gave Fiona his number before he left and went home to his apartment in town. Meanwhile, Troy was already back at home feeling furious as he had a bottle in one hand and a glass in the other.

he then sat at his desk and would open the bottle pouring a couple drinks before looking at a photo album which started out between him, his mother and a few other mafia family members but soon started getting into the pages that had him and balto together and he would tear up and cry a bit as he spent his night drinking and looking through photos

Back with Nathan, he woke up the next morning having a cup of hot chocolate mixed with a peppermint mocha creamer and looked out the window at the city. "Well, time to go back to my cover job," he thought when his phone buzzed. He looked at it and sighed, "What's up, Chief?" He listened until his eyes widened. "What?" he gasped, "I'm on my way!" He hurried over to the Iceberg Night club where there were police cars, yellow tape and reporters flooding in. The blue dragon showed his badge to the officers outside and he walked in to see a water buffalo standing next to a body covered up by a sheet. "What happened?" asked Nathan as he came up.

"The doorman at Mr. Ajax's apartment called for a welfare check on his place cause apparently he never made it home" the buffalo would say, “Word is that wolf iced him"

Nathan was shocked. He knew Troy was part of the mafia, but he didn't think he would stoop that low. "Were there any witnesses?" asked Nathan as he examined the body as the corpse was placed on a stretcher.

"Yeah they are being interviewed by the detectives as we speak" The chief would say

Nathan raised an eyebrow. "Uh, I'm a detective," he pointed out, "Who are they speaking with?"

"The other detectives, it would be a conflict of interest AND Blow your cover if you got involved interviewing the witnesses that saw you at the club" he would say

As the corpse was being moved, something fell off Harold's limp wrist. Nathan reached for it, but then a cane jabbed his hand pinning it down. "Ow!" he yelped and looked up to see a human male dressed in a black fur coat and fedora, red sunglasses, red gloves and a black suit and tie. His shoes highly polished black. But the one thing that stood out the most was the man's hair: Black on his right side and white on the left. "Is this dragon removing evidence from the scene of a crime?" demanded the human to the water buffalo.

"Oh no, Mr. De Vil, he was just picking it up for you, weren't you Nathan?" Bogo said

"Of course," said Nathan standing up and presenting the bracelet, "He said it was a gift from Troy Baines." "Yes, we heard from the staff that he and Harold had an argument about some business deal with some cats. And the wolf was quite agitated when he found the walrus doing said business," said the human, "And just before leaving, Mr. Baines told Mr. Ajax that he never wanted to see him doing business with them again. Is that true?" "Well, I wasn't there to hear the whole conversation and I never saw which cats he was referring too," said Nathan shrugging, "Could he mean big cats, small cats, medium cats... Jellicle cats?"

“I'm sorry sir Nathan has been helping out with trying to get a hand on these mafias he was newly assigned to the case" Bogo would say

"That's alright, Chief," said Mr. De Vil, "From the smell of him, I'd say it was the pheromones talking. No matter. The wolf won't get far. My men will find him."

soon a black suv Police car came squealing in and skids to a halt in front of them

"Jackals?" asked Nathan surprised at the ones driving the car. "Yes," replied the human, "I find they have a special gift for the work."

"Alright you mugs fall out!" the lead jackal says to the others

"You find the wolf?" asked Mr. De Vil as five jackals got out of the car.

“Not yet boss but we got informants all over this town we will find him" the leader smirked a gold tooth glistening in the light

"You wouldn't have any idea where the wolf might be, Detective Draco?" asked Mr. De Vil. "I don't know," said Nathan, "Do you, Cruallen?" The human scowled. "I'm surprised you're not more cooperative, Detective Draco," snarled Cruallen, "A man has just been murdered by a mafia gang leader. Don't you appreciate the magnitude of that?" Just then, a small feral rat was making his way through until Cruallen, pulled on a rubber glove and picked up the rat. "Since I've had the city under my jurisdiction, my goal has been to reign in the violence. And the only way to do that is to make criminals respect the law." He turned and walked slowly to his car. "How did that creep become district attorney?" whispered Nathan to Bogo.

“Unfortunately he bought a lot of votes in sadly not a lot we could do about it" Bogo said with a whisper

"And what's that?" asked Nathan as the back of the car was opened to reveal a machine that had a funnel on the top and a drop slot bin underneath.

“Remember when it was frowned upon the death penalty well he brought it back for those that are anthros and their death penalty is that…he calls it the shredder" Bogo said

"I'll catch the wolf, Detective Draco," said Cruallen as he held the squirming rat above the funnel, "Then I'll trial him, convict him... And execute him." He dropped the rat inside the funnel and there was a loud grinding and slicing sound from the machine and in the drop slot came the rat's fur pelt.

Bogo looks away for he couldn't stand to watch

Nathan was shocked as Cruallen held up the rat skin. "This isn't a toy, Detective Draco," he said coming up to the dragon, "I thought you of all people would appreciate a violence-free zone." Nathan gulped nervously. "I think I'll be heading back," he said to Bogo. He secretly hoped that Troy was safe somewhere out of sight, but at the same time, he was longing to be by the wolf's side again.

Meanwhile Troy was out on the streets hiding under a bridge with cop cars flying past with sirens on with his drivers with him as security “I think we lost them" Troy panted heavily

"There's nowhere to go, boss," said Henry, "Where can we hide?"

“I don't know…" Troy said rubbing his head then realized he did know pulling out his phone seeing the address of Nathan's place and typed it into his gps “please don't be far…" Troy prayed as the gps loaded in Nathan's address

Before long, it appeared. "It's not far from where we are now," said Dale, "But how do we get there without being recognized?"

“Shadows and ally ways. Gonna have to leave the car here too. I want one of you to get the word out to the guys and tell them they are gonna need to lay low and not trust anyone till this blows over…and everyone will get a pass on their up coming payments I know there are shops under our protection that will help us sneak about as well" Troy said

"Yeah, but I think you'll be least likely to be spotted if you go alone," said Dale, "And honestly, I'm having mixed feelings about that."

“Well, Dale, why don't you come with me then?" Troy said

"Uh... The thing is... Me and Henry are a couple. Besides, I'm very recognizable to the stores that we protect," said Dale, "I'm sorry. Plus, I left my gun back at the mansion."

“I got mine. You want to use it or prefer me to have it?" Troy asked

"You take it," said Dale, "Me and Henry will cover your escape from here."

“Ok." Troy said kissing dales cheek then Henry's “be-careful…lay low and I'll see you guys when I can" Troy said with a smile

The two wolves nodded and then the three split in two different directions.

Later back at his apartment. Nathan was getting out of the shower drying his hair. Then he wrapped his towel around his waist while he looked over to see a picture of him when he was about 7 years old with his mother and father. They were at the county fair and looking so happy. He sighed softly. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad," he said, "Our luck will change." He just opened the closet door when he came face to face with Troy Baines and they both let out a shriek. Nathan backed away as Troy fell out. "How did you get in here?" he asked.

“I picked the lock…. I figured it would be safer to wait inside knowing I'm wanted for murder" Troy said

"Does anyone else know you're here?" asked Nathan trying not to sound angry.

“No not anyone….well…I had to jump around the stores I help protect to get here…and there is about 4-5 of them that know I'm trying to hide out" Troy said

"So in other words, half the town knows you're here," groaned Nathan, "Why did you do it, huh? Why did you kill Ajax?"

“I didn't I swear! After I gotten into the argument I went home drank a bottle of an amaretto sour I had made homemade that I was gonna propose to Harold to sell at his bar as a premix drink to sell at 10 dollars a glass while looking at photos of me and my family" Troy said

"Wait a minute," said Nathan holding his hands up, "You're telling me that in a fit of anger you went home and got drunk while looking at a photo album?"

“Yes. Of coarse that made me angry but I would never hurt Ajax. He is the one that gave my mother a job, no questions asked" Troy said “mom wasn't a fan of her sons joining the mafia but we did it to help our family get out of poverty and well as much we could of gotten out of it we really enjoyed it so when mom wanted a job Ajax who was my booze guy had an opening I had him hire her as the best damn bar keep in his place"

"So, why come here?" asked Nathan, "You never even invited me to your place and yet you come into mine unannounced?"

“I well I just met you and last time I invited someone I didn't know into my place well they learned real quick why not to steal from me and my family" Troy would say “plus I felt like you would accept me here with no questions asked and let me lay low here or help me lay low till I can get my name cleared."

"Listen, this really isn't the best place to hideout," said Nathan as he put on a bathrobe. Despite being glad to have Troy over, he really didn't want him to find out about his real job. Suddenly, they heard sirens outside and the same police van with the jackals pulled up. They got out and made their way to the dragon's apartment building.

“Ahhhhh!!!! It's the jackals!!!" Troy yells out checking his pistol which had a full magazine and he had another full one in his holster “I only got 2 mags. They hold 15 bullets" Troy says

"No, wait!" said Nathan, "I have a better idea." He grabbed Troy, dragged him to the freezer, opened it and then opened another door behind the shelves. "Hide in here," he said, "And don't come out until I tell you."

Troy nods. “Please don't sell me out Nathan… You're my only hope… 'cause if they get their hands on me… I'm as good as shredded," Troy whimpers

"I promise," said Nathan softly as he kissed the wolf deeply when they heard loud knocking on the door.

“Come on, Nathan. Open the door. We just want the wolf!!" The leader called out.

Thinking fast, he kept on his bathrobe but grabbed a basket and a clothes hamper and started sorting as the door handle was shot off.

Soon the jackals made their way inside

"Oh, hey boys," said Nathan calmly, "I didn't hear you come in." He was in the bathroom sorting out the laundry from the hamper.

“Alright wise guy…where's the wolf?" The leader whose name was Devin walked over to the dragon with a gun drawn

"I haven't seen him," said Nathan when the jackal looked at the soapy water in his bathroom sink.

“What's in there?" He asked

"My jockstraps," said Nathan as he pulled one out and held it in the jackal's face.

“Eek!" the jackal stumbled back but huffed looking to the others “search the place boys. Don't leave a thing unturned" Devin says as the others searched around and Troy carefully peaks out the crack of the fridge to watch on “look dragon, we got a reliable tip off the wolf is here and was confirmed by several others. Now cut the bullshit and where is he?" He growled out pressing the pistol to the dragons cheek.

But Nathan stood firm. "If you keep talking like that, I'm gonna have to wash your mouth out," he snarled as he grabbed a bar of soap and shoved it into the jackal's mouth and making him land outside the bathroom.

Soon the others started laughing seeing Devin had the soap in his mouth and blowing bubbles trying to get the soap out of his mouth trying to get the soap out but Troy had seen this as well and quietly laughed to himself watching it all unfold

Nathan smirked as he watched the jackals laugh uncontrollably.

Soon Devin got the others to stop laughing after hitting them and returned to Nathan “now as for you Nathan…step out of line and we will hang you and your jockstraps out…to dry" he laughed splashing the water in him. “Come on, boys. let's amscray," he said soon the jackals all left from the place.

As soon as they were gone, Nathan got up and looked around before placing the door handle back in place. Then he walked over to the fridge and helped Troy out. "Coast is clear for now. You okay?" he asked.

“I'm fine. I'm sorry about your apartment…I'll have it paid to get it all fixed up when all this is over with" Troy would say as he got out

"Well, it's too dangerous for you to be here. The jackals might double back here," said Nathan as he held Troy close, "But I'll do what I can to help you. Why would anyone want to kill Harold Ajax? What did he do?"

“I don't know but I have a deep feeling this goes deeper then what it's said to believe and someone wants the me dead…also I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I'm in a mafia…it's kinda something I don't like flaunting around unless I have to." Troy said

"It's okay," said Nathan, "And I understand. We all have our secrets sometimes. It's just a matter of who we trust them with. What about your mother? Does she have somewhere you can hide?"

“She might but I dunno if she would believe me that I didn't do anything." Troy says

"Well, you never know unless you try," said Nathan, "But first, I think we'd better get you a better disguise. Take off your clothes." He left Troy alone in the backroom and came back with some flour.

Troy nods doing as he was told

Nathan froze when he saw Troy fully naked and with so many muscles and a few scattered scars. "How long have you had these?" he asked as he slowly traced one of them over Troy's chest.

“Years each one a different story. I been shot, stabbed, hit with an axe, hit by 4 cars and a truck that one on my chest… Is where I got hit by an axe and also another time I got dragged 100 yards after falling off a delivery truck while running from the cops one time when I was 18" Troy smiled showing a patch of fur missing from his back

"So, how long have you been in the mafia?" asked Nathan softly as he proceeded to coat Troy in flour hoping to turn the wolf's fur pure white.

“Since I was 16. I'm about 32" he would say with a smile watching the dragon coat is body in flour

"What about your father? Barely mention him," said Nathan softly as he managed to get both arms coated in white flour.

“He died before me and Balto were born in a freak car accident" Troy says

"I'm sorry," said Nathan, "It must have been hard." He managed to get to the legs patting them making sure the flour stuck.

“It was pretty hard…" Troy said

"But I don't get it," said Nathan in thought, "If you were at home, who would want to murder Harold Ajax? And why?"

“No idea…but we're gonna find out who and why." Troy said

After coating Troy in flour, Nathan looked him over. "You look like an arctic wolf now," he said, "Now, to get you into some new clothes." He checked the hamper and found some blue jeans and a red t-shirt.

Troy hesitated but then put the cloths on neatly tucking his suit into a safe place in the closet

"So, does your mom have a place to hide you?" asked Nathan as Troy managed to get fully dressed.

“Yes she does. Everyone at her bar knows me as well so I'm fully protected and won't be ratted out." Troy said

"I'm gonna take you right over, and then go around and see what I can find a way to help," said Nathan and then he texted on his phone to Bogo, "Can you send me some info on Harold Ajax?"

“Yeah. But I know for sure Ajax was looking to retire this year and hand off his shop to someone he trusts dearly to run it." Troy would say

"Just how many businesses does he run?" asked Nathan as they made their way downstairs and to an underground parking lot.

“Just that one it's such a huge success he don't needs any other ones I helped him with getting boozy and investing, well at least my crew does. I just over see it" Troy says

"Well, let's just get you over to your mom's bar and then we'll figure out the rest," said Nathan as they reached his car. It wasn't easy to go discreetly, but thanks to Nathan, he and Troy made it to the location. They went inside to see Fiona behind the bar.

“Nathan good to see you again" Fiona says with a smile “what can I get you for you and your friend" she asked with a smile

"Well, he's more than just a friend," said Nathan as he came up pulling Troy along and whispered, "He needs a place to hide."

She nods “he can take that flour off he will be safe here but I got a room for warrant officers to hide in"

"I would bring him as he was, but we had to shake the jackals," said Nathan softly.

“Yeah they were snooping around here as well" she would say

“Is there somewhere Troy can hide?" asked Nathan, “I really don't want to lose him now… Not after last night." He blushed remembering how they connected last night together.

“Yes, he will be safe and can always move him to the back of the store in a hidden room. I'll show ya" she says escorting them to where there was a hidden room with a bunch of things stored and Troy shook off the flour to remove his disguise

Nathan and Fiona backed away as the flour went flying. "Easy on, easy off, I guess," chuckled Nathan, "You feeling okay now, Troy?"

“Yeah… just being back here again bring back some very difficult memories," he says walking around seeing toys and plushies around and gasped seeing the guitar case “You kept it, Mom?" He said walking over to it

"I didn't know you could play," said Nathan looking impressed.

"Yeah when I was 9… Mom even let me play here and well I made a lot in just tips everyday I played" Troy says with a smile

"I'd like to hear it sometime when this is all over," said Nathan. He was reluctant to leave, but if he wanted to prove Troy's innocence, he had to go. "I'll be back later," he said, "I need to go check something." He hurried out of the secret room and out of the bar. The dragon felt a slight sting in his chest when he thought of leaving Troy alone. As he walked down the street back to the Iceberg club, he passed a cafe where Piddles and Blinky were sitting at. Nathan was stopped in his tracks when Blinky stood up and blocked him.

"Just where do you think your going?" Blinky says

"What's it to you, Cyclops?" quipped Nathan until he found himself pulled over to a table and there sat Piddles.

“Nathan. Just the dragon I was looking for, sheeee," Piddles would say stirring his coffee

"Hello, Piddles," sighed Nathan with a groan in his voice, "What is it you want this time? Somebody steal your favorite toy bird again?"

“No, I wanna talk to yeh… about the whole thing with Troy icing Ajax.." he would say taking a sip of his coffee.

"What about it?" asked Nathan trying to be cautious about his reactions.

“The whole case about it. I may hate Troy and his gang…but I know he would never hurt or kill Ajax. And I know your also working the case sheee" Piddles would say

"And you pulled me over to tell me what exactly?" asked Nathan arching an eyebrow as he leaned in closer. Then Piddles leaned in while Blinky stood watch.

“'Cause I saw you talking to that police chief and your badge was in plain view on your waist" he would say

"So what? Do you expect me to believe that you'll help me just because you saw my badge? Get to the point, Piddles," snapped Nathan, "What do you know about the Ajax case?"

"Troy would never do something like this...Ajax mentored Troy into helping him with his own crew and well also Mentored me. but the who thing stinks like spoiled milk… He has a huge fortune on the line not just his money but businesses that have prime locations" Piddles says

The dragon stayed silent. He didn't know that Troy and Piddles grew up together. Were they a thing to each other once? "Did Ajax leave a will?" asked Nathan hoping to stay focused on what was at stake.

"he was working on one recently but he gave us a solemn oath that our families would be taken care of" Piddles says

"Has anyone even seen this will?" asked Nathan thinking that he might have found a lead.

"Ummmm no...sadly no one has..." Piddles would reply back

"I went to his room the night he was murdered and found this plain paper" Piddles would say handing the dragon the paper

Nathan looked the paper over. Indeed it was blank. "Uh, do you mind if I hold onto this? I have a feeling this might help in the case somehow," said Nathan as Piddles nodded, "Well, I'd better get going... Oh, and thanks for the tip."

“Your welcome sheee… Like I said I don't hate the guy…. I just know he probably didn't do it. And don't worry detective…. Your cover is safe with me." He would say taking another drink of his coffee

Nathan nodded as he tucked the paper into his pocket. He was arriving at the bar when he heard phone ring. "What's up Clawhauser?" he said into his phone.

“Hey so I did some digging for you like you asked me to" He would say

"Yeah? What did you find?" asked Nathan as he was making his way back to the bar.

“So after Ajax was murdered a bunch of businesses went on a bidding war for his businesses and this name kept popping up for a bunch of them inferno industries. The biggest one is his night club. And if his will don't show up by midnight tonight they will own the iceberg" he would say as he could be heard between bites of food

"What? At midnight tonight?" asked Nathan surprised, "But Clawhauser, Ajax had more than one place of business. He had several. If Inferno industries get their hands on them, they'll own half the city."

“Yeah they put in the highest bids on most of the businesses. Something isn't really adding though. I think this goes deeper" he would say

"Well, keep digging," said Nathan, "And thanks." He hung up and was in front of the bar when he heard guitar music. "Troy!" he gasped as he ran inside. Around the corner, the jackals had been watching when they heard the music. "The wolf," growled the leader and turned to the others, "Get the D. A."

When he came walking in the crowd was cheering and whistling as Troy was jamming out on his guitar and was singing was harmoniously at the same time.

As much as Nathan liked hearing the music, he marched over to Troy and gripped his shoulder. "What do you think you're doing?" he snapped, "You're supposed to be hiding, remember?" He dragged Troy back to the secret room and then closed the door behind them. "I'm risking my neck and life outside to find a way to keep you from being killed, and what are you doing? Singing songs in a bar and putting yourself up for target practice!"

“Look I'm sorry ok…an old friend stopped in and we talked and talked. And he wanted to see if I still had it… I'm sorry Nathan." Troy said, “Music is one of my best weapons I have when I was a kid and well you saw it out there."

"And you don't think those strangers would turn you in just because you performed for them?" snapped Nathan, "Music doesn't always sooth the savage beast. I should know."

“They aren't strangers Nathan… They are like second family and have been to my mom's bar for years and well one of them, God rest his soul…. Got me into the business I'm in now and our family has been super successful then it has ever been" Troy said

"And what about the people you don't know?" snapped Nathan, "The last time my family asked a stranger for help, they ended up being mugged and killed. The world's not always a trusting place."

“Wait, that was your family?" Troy asked “I heard about that. The case went cold cause they couldn't trace the bullets.."

"Yeah... I was seven years old when they were taken from me... Right in front of my eyes... The leader had green eyes, sharp claws... They never found out who he was," said Nathan looking down at the ground.

“Wait…did he also have a very high pitch laugh to?" Troy asked

Nathan froze. "How did you know?" he asked and backed away, "Were you part of his gang?"

“No. His burning Green eyes and really sharp claws and laugh is what I remember as well…"Troy started but soon there was a buzzer and red light shining on the wall

Outside, the bar went silent as there stood Cruallen De Vil at the entrance. "I'm looking for a murderer," he stated bluntly as his jackals came up from behind smirking. Cruallen then made his way to the middle of the room. "A wolf," he said looking at the wolf customers who scattered to the other end of the bar, "A male wolf with gray and white fur with red fur patterns."

Troy and Nathan peak through the spy hole with Nathan being the main one to view while Troy got his gun ready Incase they were to be sold out. “You're not gonna harass my patrons," Fiona said with a growl.

"I didn't come to harass," said Cruallen as he walked up to a chalkboard menu, "I came to reward." He looked at the menu that said, "Baked Potatoes with Shredded cheese- $1.50". However, Cruallen used an elephant's trunk to erase the "Baked Potatoes" and "cheese" from the board. He then picked up a piece of chalk and began writing. He put so much pressure on the board that it was making a high screeching sound that hurt everyone's ears. When he finished, the board read "Shredded Wolf- $1,500,000.00".

A shaggy German shepherd seen it and whistled in amusement “hey I seen a wolf" he would say

Cruallen slowly walked towards the dog. "Where?" he asked. Nathan looked through a peep hole and looked to Troy. "I told you," he whispered.

Troy gulped as he quietly pulls the slide back then guides it back to normal to rack a round into the chamber on his gun back in the bar the shepherd turned to a husky and did a wolf whistle at him “come here boy howl for me" he laughed soon all the others laughed as Troy disarmed his gun “told ya so." He would say holstering his gun into his hidden holster

Cruallen then grinned the dog down making the laughter die immediately. Then the human's gaze fell upon the guitar. "Hmmm, not quite the instrument for a group of drunken reprobates," sneered Cruallen making everyone else look hurt and offended. The human sniffed it and then looked to his jackals declaring, "He's here!" He tossed the guitar to one of the jackals but it only landed on top of his head making his muzzle stick out of the hole making the others laugh. "STOP THAT LAUGHING!" yelled Cruallen as he turned to the leader and hit him with his cane, "HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME?! If you don't stop this laughing, you're gonna end up dead just like your idiot hyena cousins!"

"If that's broken you gonna be replacing it!" Fiona said with a growl as one of the jackals growled at her "Shut up!" he would say then looked to Cruallen "shall we start tearing up the place to find him sir?"

"That won't be necessary, sergeant," said Cruallen as he pulled out his phone and found a speaker, "For the wolf in question is going to come right to me." He then hooked up a chord connecting his phone to the speaker and selected a video of wolves howling. "No wolf can ever resist the old howling-at-the-moon trick," he said as he played the video and at once wolf howls began to fill the room. "I don't know who's the performer, you or De Vil," said Nathan before looking over to Troy.

Troy was twitching and shaking teeth chattering like crazy trying his hardest to resist

"Troy, no!" hushed Nathan frantically as Cruallen turned up the volume on the speaker making it even more tempting for Troy.

Troy shook more and more teeth chattering more body shaking sweat dripping as he was fighting hard to resist

Nathan wanted to rush over, but his shirt sleeve was caught on the peep hole latch. Cruallen, on the other hand smirked as he carried the speaker around to each corner of the bar until it was near Troy and Nathan's hiding place.

But soon Troy couldn't resist anymore his eyes swirling hypnotically and when cruallen brought the speaker by them he came crashing through the wall and howls loudly

At once, the howling stopped the moment Cruallen grabbed Troy tightly by the scruff of his neck. Nathan was about to step out but the jackals raised their guns at the dragon.

“Well, well, well! Detective Draco!" Devin, the leader jackal, smirks, "What shall we do with this wall flower sir?"

"We'll deal with the revealed, undercover detective later," sneered Cruallen while still keeping a tight grip on Troy, "Right now, I feel like dispensing some justice. Bring in the shredder."

When the shredder was brought in and turned on Troy yelped loudly in fear

Cruallen smirked as he held Troy near the shredder's opening, which had been adjusted to take in his whole body. "Does the condemned have anything to say before his sentence is carried out?" asked Cruallen but he squeezed Troy's neck tightly before the wolf could say another word. "It's shame you had to learn the hard way that this dragon you were so fond of would eventually be your undoing," sneered the human, "And you detective, I believe you were sworn to rid this town of evil. For this, I'm willing to turn a blind eye on your betrayal and personal feelings for this scum right here."

Troy looked over at Nathan whimpering with looks of 'I trusted you' and sadness

Nathan looked to Fiona. "There has to be something we can do," he whispered, "I'm sorry for lying about myself, but we really need something to save your son."

“It's ok… let's not focus on that now.." Fiona says watching Cruallen struggle with Troy who was trying to not be sent through the shredder and she got an idea making a drink in a glass which Nathan noticed she was doing

"Hey, De Vil!" he called as he accepted the glass, "Don't a dying wolf deserve last requests?"

“yeah, bubble wrap would be nice!" Troy would say

"I think you wanna drink," said Nathan holding up the glass, "How about it, Cruallen?" The human then held Troy back from the shredder. "Well, why not?" he said standing Troy up, "I don't mind prolonging the execution."

Troy gagged as he was adjusted to sit up right and saw the drink knowing what it was "No thanks… I'm trying to cut down" he would say thinking it was booze but really inside was special ingredients to unleash a beast that hasn't been unlocked in years

"Please, for me?" asked Nathan, "I don't want you to hate me... The truth is... My feelings towards you were real... Now drink the drink."

"But I don't want the drink..." Troy said as Cruallen looks at Nathan. "He doesn't want the drink," he would say

Nathan groaned. "You leave me no choice," he said as he poured the drink into his mouth, pulled Troy over and kissed deeply pouring the liquid into the wolf's mouth.

Troy then felt his the liquid being forced into his mouth and swallows it and his eyes went wide his body shaking and blubbering like crazy "I'm so sorry for what's about to happen next..." Fiona said as the transformation was almost complete

Cruallen was trying to keep a grip on the wolf and Nathan was pulled down behind the counter by Fiona before Troy took his final form.

and soon Troy was getting into a fight with Cruallen and was also fighting off the jackals soon getting quickly over taken. "Help him!" Fiona Says

Nathan nodded as he punched the lead jackal knocking a bottle into his head and kicked Cruallen De Vil away from the wolf. Before long, the jackals were down and Nathan pushed the shredder over making it catch a chair and fire wood shavings everywhere. "RUN!" he yelled to Troy.

Troy looked at Nathan who then quickly went back to normal "come with me while they are down!" Troy yelled out

Nathan nodded and followed Troy. Just then, Henry and Dale pulled up in the mafia car. "Get in!" yelled Dale to the dragon and wolf.

"MY BOYS!!!" Troy yelled as he and Nathan quickly climbed in

"Get us someplace we can hide!" yelled Nathan as he saw the jackals driving after them and open fire.

"Oh hell no!" Troy growled as he returned fire going through a clip and a half but saved his ammo for they didn't have any more "go dale go!" Troy yelled as his best driver weaved in and out of traffic

Nathan screamed in terror in the back seat clinging to Troy for support. He tried his best to help, but the swerving was making him feel sick somehow which almost never happened.

"I'm sorry Nathan but trust me Dale is my best driver!" Troy said

"I don't feel so good," groaned Nathan holding his stomach. He leaned into Troy. His scent was making him feel slightly better. Before long, they had lost the jackals completely. "So, where do we go now?" asked Nathan.

Troy pant heavily and looked to his boy "the drive in" he would say to them

"Drive in?" asked Nathan, "But isn't that an open area?"

“Not the one we're going to." Troy would say

"I don't understand," said Nathan feeling confused.

"Trust me" Troy smiles as they go to a drive in that was secluded but every where they looked was mafia members and cars and each were all getting along with each other weather they were rivals or not

Once they were safe, Nathan sighed. "I'm sorry," he said, "I never meant for you to find out that I was working undercover."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Troy asked as Dale soon came back with some food and snacks giving them their requested food and drinks

"Because I was trying to find out a way to make sure nobody had to worry about gang violence and the mafia seemed to be the most brutal of them all," said Nathan, "At first, it seemed like an easy job: get to know you, live with you, and learn how your organization works and catch you doing illegal things and have you arrested." He sighed hanging his head low. "But I guess that all changed somehow. I didn't tell anyone this but... On the night we first met... I was in heat," said Nathan, "And meeting you met that need. I tried to play it cool at first but, damn! You were so hot. I wanted you, needed you... But now, I guess you'll have me killed and have my body hidden away now, huh?"

"Why would I kill someone I cared about… I really do care about you… yes, you upset me by lying to me but I felt the connection as well. I know it was literally at first site but still" Troy says eating some popcorn

"I know," said Nathan and sighed, "It was when my parents and I were coming back from the county fair... I was seven years old at the time. In those days, we enjoyed going out. Met a lot of friendly people. However, there was this one person who hated my family for all the good it did whenever others seemed bullied, hopeless and alone. This guy and his canine gang cornered us in a back alley. The man shot them with no remorse or regret. He was about to aim at me when the police sirens came up... Chief Bogo found me and took me to my grandfather... I was glad to still have family, but I never went out much after that... Especially at night. Later on, I went into the police academy thinking this could be my big chance to find the guy who killed my parents and make sure they never hurt anyone else again. I've been searching for him for 23 years now and he disappeared after that one night."

"I know how you feel… I remember seeing that in the news…. I know what it was like to deal with loss… my dad was in the same gang I'm in and well mysteriously died in a tragic car accident before we were born.... then…. my brother… he was killed by mafia...." Troy said with a sigh "a mafia…. no..." Nathan gasped covering his mouth in shock as Troy nodded "yeah we were working this big heist where it was to take a bank truck route take it over and rob a bank blind...but really didn't go to plan.... we got followed by this guy, with the same description you said...we raced around town trying to loose him… then got t-boned by a semi...broke my arm.....balto was taken and when I finally came to he had concrete shoes on and well...they threw him off the the Howlers moon Bridge…. only thing I remember of that leader...was that burning green eyes....sharp pointy claws.... and that high pitched voice and laugh…. after that he stole the heist we planned and and left me for dead…. never saw him again after that" Troy said

"Troy..." gasped Nathan as he cupped the wolf's cheek, "Just what were you planning to do with that money?"

"Just to have as our funds...to keep it...but after that I was done with heists" Troy says

"Troy... I never told anyone this but the night you mated me, I felt something in my body change," he said, "The next morning I was feeling so sick. I went to get a pregnancy test and... It was positive."

Troy looked over at Nathan "whoa....didn't know that was possible." Troy says

"I'm an omega," said Nathan, "You are an alpha. Surely you know what that means. It's not just physical attraction, but it also includes mental and emotional connection. I love you."

“It's new to me but I kinda get it and I love you too"

"So, despite what's going on right now, will you take me as I am? An undercover detective who loves you?" asked Nathan feeling his heart overflowing with hope, longing, and love.

"Of coarse" Troy smiles wrapping an arm around Nathan

Nathan smiled as he hugged Troy tightly and kissed him deeply.

Troy smiles hugging kissing back

It was then Nathan felt something poking into him. "Oh, I almost forgot," he said sitting up, "I have some details about the case I think you should hear... And half of it is from Piddles. Why didn't you tell me you two grew up together?"

“Yeah, had a business falling out and well… that's how we became the way we are…. but what did you find out?" Troy asked

"It turns out Ajax had a will hidden away somewhere," said Nathan, "And the police informed me that Harold Ajax has more businesses to fill half the city and some company called Inferno industries is trying to take over. So unless Ajax's will turns up by midnight tonight, Inferno's gonna own half the city."

“Huh... why does that business sound familiar…. but yeah if they do its game over for smaller mafias or even large mafias." Troy says

"There's gonna be trouble enough for the police department keeping the streets clear of violence," said Nathan, "And Piddles mentioned looking through Ajax's place for the will and he gave me this." He pulled out the blank paper. "It was the only thing he found there, and so I thought it could be a clue to help us. Maybe we should head in to investigate for ourselves. The only question is where do we start looking?"

"Maybe his warehouse. he owns a factory that he makes booze and wine. might be something in his office." Troy said "or even his club"

"Let's start with the office first," said Nathan, "This time, let's do it together."

agreed." Troy said dropping the magazine on his pistol and clears it sighing heavily seeing he only had 5 bullets left and knew that henry and dale didn't have anything "cant get ammo anywhere and get to my place to reload my gun takes custom made bullets and I got 5 left....gotta make em count"

"We'll just have to use our wits then," said Nathan, "Who else is in charge of the club besides you and Ajax?"

"his twin brother Harry. who comes in on occasion to help with the bar" Troy said

"I didn't know Harold had a brother," said Nathan, "He never mentioned him when I was working there."

“That's cause he's a literal scrooge Harry only has 5% but since my creditable is comprised and Harold is dead he's currently the boss." Troy said "he doesn't like to share. he was furious when he found out I got more shares then he did"

"Well..." It was then on the big screen they saw a news reel of bankers from Inferno Industries offering Harry a check for the Iceberg property. "That's it!" gasped Nathan, "That's the connection!"

"he's selling the business! Dale Henry! lets go we got work to do! to iceberg!" Troy said to the wolves

"Maybe we can get some information on why he sold out his own brother," said Nathan, "If someone's after the will, maybe he's after it too."

"I agree" Troy would say as dale and henry drove them to the club

"Cover my back," said Nathan, "I called ahead to tell him I have the will. Let's hope he buys it. If things go south, you come in."

“Got it" Troy said

Once inside, they made their way into the office. Thanks to Troy, they used a secret entrance where they saw a walrus just like Harold pacing back and forth with a gun in his pocket. Nathan came up and tapped the walrus on the shoulder scaring him. "What's up, doc?" he asked casually.

“You know you could of given me a heart attack" Harry said angrily

"You need a heart before you can have an attack," stated Nathan bluntly.

“Yeah yeah yeah…do you have the will?" He asked

"Sure," said Nathan as he pulled out a corner of the blank paper before tucking it back in again, "The question is do you have the way? Because getting something like this won't come cheap."

“You dare do this when your all alone?" He said angrily

"Who says I'm alone?" asked Nathan smirking as he watched Troy sneak in behind Harry and get something ready.

“I wanna see that will smirky face" Harry said pulling out a gun

"Don't you believe me?" asked Nathan feigning innocence until he saw the gun in Harry's hand.

“No I don't!" He said reaching into Nathan's coat ripping out the paper and saw it was blank and growled meanwhile Troy was grabbing the water dispenser “is this suppose to be a joke!?" He growled stuffing the paper in Nathan's pants

Nathan reached behind him and grabbed a bottle of champagne and began shaking it. "No," he said as he aimed the cork at Harry's face, "This is!" At once, the cork flew out and hit Harry in the eye. "NOW!" called Nathan to Troy.

Troy then hosed the walrus with water and punched him and the walrus fell to the ground and Troy picked up the gun he dropped “get up!" He said angrily pointing the gun in the walrus face

Nathan then brought over a paper shredder. "Now that we have you with us, we're gonna listen to you spin the Inferno scenario," said Nathan, "A story of greed, sex, and murder. And the parts we don't like... We're gonna let it out."

“You got it all wrong boys I'm a business men not a murderer" he would say as Troy grabbed his tie “everyone has a hobby!" Troy growled stuffing the tie into the shredder “plug it in babe"

The dragon nodded as he did so and then turned on the switch as the shredder pulled the tie in. But Nathan stopped half way as Harry spilled the beans.

“The truth is I had a chance to sell the club…and I was offered a large sum! I really couldn't refuse" Harry cried out

"Even at the cost of someone's life? Your own brother?" asked Nathan, his hands near the switch, but they were unaware of the gun that was emerging from behind the curtain.

“I swear I didn't kill him! I hated him for not giving me a larger share but I would never kill him" Harry said “there more?" Troy asked “if I share I'm a deadman" he said as Troy turned on the shredder on briefly then shuts it off “your deadman now if you don't share" Troy growled

Nathan looked behind him and gasped. "LOOK OUT!" he shouted pushing Troy down as an unknown gun man shot at Harry first and then at the wolf and dragon. Luckily, Nathan and pushed himself and Troy down just in time, but Harry lay slumped over dead.

Troy grabbed Harry's gun returning fire which made the gun soon disappear and the duo looked at Harry. “He might have been a dick but he was a good man." Troy said then quickly made his way to the window to see if there was anyone he could see out there

Nathan carefully went to the window, but all he and Troy saw was Blinky and Piddles hurry down an alley.

“What are they doing here?" Troy growled

"I don't know," said Nathan, "Let's go find out, shall we?" He led the way with his own gun in hand and Troy close beside him.

They made their way back down to the car

"I think they went down this way," said Nathan, "It'll be faster on foot."

Troy nods and would follow

The alleyway was dark and dimly lit. "I hope you can see better than I can," said Nathan as he pulled out his own gun ready for anything.

“Oh yeah I can see" Troy said as the duo looked around

"Baines. Draco," said Piddles from behind them with himself and Blinky aiming their guns at them.

They stopped and and stared at the duo. “I always knew I would be done in by a cat," Troy said unknowingly a shadow was directing a gun at then.

"Behind you!" yelled Piddles as he shot his gun and the shadowy figure fell back dropping his gun.

“Drop it pussy cat" Troy growls at them pointing his gun

"I just saved your lives, shee," replied Piddles holding up his hand and gave his gun to Blinky, "And you still don't trust me or Blinky?"

“Well right now we don't trust anyone" Troy snarled

"Not even your own eyes?" asked Piddles pointing down at the fallen gun, "That's the gun that killed Harry Ajax, shee? And De Vil pulled the trigger." "De Vil?" gasped Nathan looking to Troy and back. "Me and Blinky followed him to the club, but we were too late to stop him, myah," replied Piddles. "That's right!" shouted Cruallen as he started running down the alley, "You'll never stop me! You're dead! You're all dead!"

“DE VIL!!!!" Troy growled and knowing there was three bullets left in Harry's gun he would shoot at him hoping one would land their mark.

However, all three missed as Cruallen ducked down another alley. "Come on!" said Nathan as he, Troy, Piddles and Blinky hurried out of the alley when they heard a siren. "It's the jackals!" gasped Piddles.

“We gotta go!!" Blinky says going to run for it but Troy knowing they wouldn't out run them on foot whistles loudly for his ride and they came skidding in “come on everyone get in!" Dale yells out

The two cats climbed in with the dragon and wolf. "So how long have you known it was Cruallen De Vil?" asked Nathan. "Before Harold Ajax was killed, and before Troy had his outburst, he confided in me that Cruallen wanted to get his hands on his businesses and he wouldn't stop at anything," explained Piddles.

“So he wanted to try and get you two to try to get along again but haven't had the chance to do so yet" Henry would say looking to piddles referring to him and Troy

"Of course," said Piddles. "So he gave you the will for safe keeping?" asked Nathan. "That's what he told me, shee?" added Piddles, "Except when I opened the envelop, there was only a blank piece of paper inside."

“That's odd…maybe it was a decoy." Troy said as dale yelled back “hey where we going guys dunno how much longer on the road we can stay on till we get greeted by cops or the jackals!" Dale said as he drove

However, Cruallen saw them coming and he dumped over a canister of oil making the car slip and slide.

Everyone all yelled and gasped as the car slid and skidded across the road “hold on everyone!!" Dale yelled as they spun out but hit a dirt path and caused the car to roll over a few times before coming to rest on its roof

Cruallen clicked his tongue in disappointment, "What an unfortunate accident," he chuckled, "Nothing more treacherous than a slippery road, especially when one driven by mafia wolves."

Soon a window was kicked out and everyone was able to get out as the jackals came skidding in

Nathan came out first and then Troy. "Don't just stand there. Help them," said Cruallen, "Put the wolf and dragon into my car. I think they'll enjoy attending the ribbon cutting at the milkshine factory."

At the milkshine factory the jackals searched Nathan “we searched Nathan boss the will ain't on him!" The leader called out

"Then frisk the wolf!" called Cruallen as he made his way from the warehouse office.

A jackal licked his chops “I'll handle this one" he says rolling his sleeve up and sticks his hand down Troy's pants feeling around and when he got a handful of sheath and balls when he couldn't find anything something snapped on his hand and he yanked his hand out a rat trap hand been stuck to his fingers

"Nice booby trap," whispered Nathan to Troy grinning.

Troy grins back “as nice as that felt I don't like being forcefully grabbed unless I'm ok with it" Troy smirked as the jackals laughed at the one's misfortune before being smacked into some boxes

Cruallen walked up to the jackal with the trap and knocked him down with his cane before looking to the leader. "Do they have the will or not?" he snapped.

“Nah just some blank piece of paper." The leader says

"No matter," replied Cruallen, "I doubt that will's gonna turn up in the next 15 minutes."

“What happens in 15 minutes anyways" Troy asked crossing his arms

"This entire area will be mine," said Cruallen, "I'm retiring as jurist and moving to a brighter position." "That wouldn't happen to be Inferno industries would it?" asked Nathan. The human turned around and smirked replying, "You're looking at the soul stock holder."

“So you're the one buying up all of Ajax's businesses. So you can have a firm grip on this town." Troy says crossing his arms

Cruallen smirked as he walked over to a huge curtain and then pulled a corner of it to reveal several sharp blades. "Can you guess what this thing is?" he asked.

“Oh my god! It's the….. SHREDDER!!!!" Troy yelled out eyes wide in fear

"That's right! Big enough to slice and dice an entire gang of anthros!" declared Cruallen as he pulled a chord and the curtain fell away to reveal a hug street sweeper that was fitted with blades instead of brushes. "Vehicle of my own design," continued Cruallen, "Thousands of blades sharp enough to cut a rhino's horn. All the mafias in the area will be wiped out in a matter of minutes."

“You know people are gonna start to wonder where all these people have disappeared to" Troy said crossing his arms again

"Who has time to wonder where someone is when they're too busy trying to buy the latest styles of clothing?" snarked Cruallen.

“Clothes? What has this to do with anything what are you talking about? What does this have to do with anthros going missing?" Troy said

"Because the clothes that are being sold are the missing anthros," said Cruallen smirking, "Several months ago, I had the good providence to stumble upon this plan of the city council's. A construction plan of epic proportions. They are calling it a shopping mall."

Troy's eyes went wide and went to say something about the anthros but tilted his head and looked at Nathan who looked aback at him and the duo looked back at Cruallen “shopping mall..? The hell is a shopping mall?" Troy asked

"One great big web of stores and restaurants showing off the latest fashion trends and magazines along with the finest cuisines found anywhere," replied Cruallen, "Organized, safe, productive. Robberies and smuggling will be a thing of the past."

“You know not all these businesses around here dabble in that" Nathan said “and I'm sure they can do just as well as this mall"

"Not after I'm done with them," said Cruallen, "The people won't be around after they are brought out and fed to my shredder. Every resident in this area will be turned into a fashion accessory! Soon, where this city once stood will be a huge string of shopping centers featuring bear skin rugs, alligator boots, snake skin handbags, white mink stoles, raccoon skin caps, poodle skirts, and wonderful, wonderful fur coats from every species like this wolf skin coat I have on now... From the late father, Mr. Baines, after I organized his demise."

Troy then looked at him. “What did you say??" He said in shock

"That's right," said Cruallen smugly, "That little car crash from all those years ago was no accident." "You monster!" growled Nathan but the jackals continued to hold them at gun point. "Sticks and stones, detective," replied Cruallen, "Of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand for you lack fashion sense and vision."

“Why!" Troy asked with a snarl when he tried to advance the same jackal that groped him then got in front of him with a knife to keep him back

"Because, he was the original district attorney and my rival for years. Naturally, I wanted him out of the way so I could proceed with my plans," replied Cruallen. "But why would they want a shopping mall when they could go to the Iceberg club for business?" asked Nathan. "Oh, they'll shop there. They'll have to," said Cruallen, "You see, I purchased the club so that I could demolish it."

“You're making a big mistake! That would eliminate so many jobs that are already there!" Troy said

"Which is why the staff will be my first products up for sale... Starting with you two," said Cruallen when there was a rumbling sound.

“What the?" The leader jackal said as the others looked around

Suddenly, a huge crash came from behind as a car rushed up knocking a jackal high up onto a ramp of drum containers. Then out popped Piddles and Blinky with their guns out.

“Piddles! Blinky!" Troy grinned. “Alright, sheee! Everyone hands up drop those guns!!" Piddles yelled out as the jackals dropped their guns.

The jackals holding the weapons did as they were told, but Cruallen wasn't having it. "Put down those guns you flea-bitten fools!" he yelled.

“Oh yeah give us a reason we'll pump ya full of lead Myah! We are done being pushed around by you!" Blinky said meanwhile the jackal on the drums flipped open his knife to cut the drum ropes

Cruallen backed away until both the cats were within target range as Piddles continued.

“And your plans will be brought down like a tower of drums" he said as the drums came crashing down on the felines

The jackals started laughing as they picked back up their weapons while Blinky rushed over to his boss.

Troy ran over as well to help him as well dig him out from the barrels

"Piddles!" gasped Blinky, his face full of panic and worry. "Tie the two cats and wolf together," said Cruallen as he pressed a control panel to lower a hook.

Soon after freeing Piddles who was ok him Blinky and Troy were all tied up to the hook

"Boss... There's one thing I wanted to say," said Blinky looking to the smaller cat, "I love you. I loved you more than I cared to admit." Meanwhile, Nathan was over on the side with the lead jackal still keeping him at gun point. "It's over, Detective Draco," said Cruallen. Nathan glared at the human as Cruallen walked away, but just as he was leaving, he slipped on some spilled milkshine that was on the floor and fell flat on his back.

Soon everyone including Troy and the cat duo were laughing at cruallen misfortune

Nathan was making his way to attack the leader when Cruallen looked up. "Look out!" he shouted as he stood back up and growled, "One of these days you idiots are gonna laugh yourselves to death!"

Troy then had an idea smiling as it seemed like Nathan did as well “so boss I know you wanna ice these guys mind if we had a bit of fun with them?" One asked

"Well, let Troy join his mate so they can watch the cats get what's coming to them and then shoot the detective and wolf," said Cruallen before walking away.

“With pleasure" the leader said as the others giggled while they were being lowered Troy looked at the cats “don't worry gut we won't let them shred you. We will get out of here one way or another" Troy said

Nathan then looked over to the side to see a huge calliope under a tarp and nodded to Troy then looked back at the lead jackal. "Everything's funny to you, ain't it, bonebreath?" he said getting the jackal's attention.

“You got a problem with that Dragon?" The lead jackal says as Troy was brought over with that jackal that was handy with him earlier up on him

"No," said Nathan, "I just thought you'd like to know something about the cat you're gonna shred," said Nathan as he pulled a lever on the calliope and pressed a button for song "Merry-go-round broke down". At once, the calliope came to life and started playing a tune. Nathan pointed at Troy. "Take it, hun!" he called.

“Piddle is his name, dealin' is his game. Now come on you dopes untie their ropes and watch him go insane!" Troy said as he found a guitar and would jam out with the music but he would slip and fall into some styrofoam box

The leading jackal started laughing followed by the others. "He's lost his mind," said Blinky. "I don't think so," said Nathan grinning.

Soon Troy came out with some glass bottles looking like he was gonna juggle them “this singing ain't my line… it's tough to make a rhyme…. if I get stuck…. I'm gonna run out of luck…ughhh…" “I'm running out of time!" The groping jackal said then gets smacked by the leader jackal as a don't help him kind of thing. “Thanks!" Troy called out throwing the bottles up and when each one came down they smash over his head

Nathan slowly made his way to helping free Piddles and Blinky while the jackals continued laughing and each one fell down and died laughing. "Troy! Keep it up!" he called, "You're killing 'em! You're slaying them! You're knocking 'em dead!"

But soon one died and would know a switch that turned on a belt that made glasses slowly roll on a belt. “I'm through with taking falls I'm bouncing off the walls. Now put down that gun I'd have some fun and kick you in the…" Troy said before a glass jar fell and hits him in the head

"Nose!" called Nathan. "Nose? That don't rhyme with 'walls'," replied the lead jackal.

“No but this does!" Troy growled and kicks the lead jackal hard in the balls and would send him flying into the shredder and would kill him which made the remaining 3 jackals gasp loudly and would open fire in Troy. He would pull out his gun that he had hidden in his pants and would be able to get one injuring him and sent him through the shredder as well then the groper and Troy would be in a battle while the other one tried getting the vehicle going but ended up getting caught and went through the shredder as well. “Hey listen jackal. Your friends are gone….your the only one remaining!" Troy said trying to bargain with him as he checked and saw he was now down to one bullet groaning loudly in misery

Nathan went over to try and turn the vehicle off, which was rolling towards Troy and the jackal, but Cruallen appeared knocking him away.

“No you don't!" Cruallen growled out. Troy holstered his gun “listen we're running out of time. If you don't wanna be a pelt like the few other friends that went through come with me and we can get you out of this mess Cruallen has put you in." Troy said to the jackal

But Cruallen pulled out a gun and began shooting at the two of them. Nathan had gotten up, but Cruallen pulled a sword out of his cane. The dragon looked around for something he could use until his eyes landed on a crowbar. They both fought each other relentlessly until Nathan's foot got stuck in a stack of wooden pallets. "Don't move," said Cruallen coldly as he sheathed his sword. He hurried away and came back with a fork lift ready to either crush or impale Nathan. The dragon grew frantic as he tried to pull his foot loose.

Soon both the jackal and Troy avoided the shots and Troy saw Nathan was in trouble and would run over to help try and free him as the forklift got closer the jackal came running in and helped free Nathan's foot “Go!!" He would say

Nathan nodded and got out of the way as Cruallen drove the forklift towards them. Before long, the forklift had turned around and was coming towards Cruallen, who was now fighting with Troy until Cruallen jumped higher than any human and his hat fell away to reveal cat ears. "Holy smokes! He's a cat!" gasped Nathan. "Surprised?" asked Cruallen looking to the others as a hairless tail soon emerged from behind.

“Not really only a a true lame brain cat could come up with a shopping mall idea" Troy would say crossing his arms

"Not just any cat," grinned Cruallen as he removed the human face mask and red sunglasses. He revealed himself to be a sphinx cat with bright green eyes. "Remember me boys?" he said in a shrill, high pitched voice, "When I killed your parents, Nathan? Or when I killed your brother, Troy? I talked just like this!"

“Oh my god….Troy gasped in fear as he and Nathan were now scared for their lives “you boys got this. I'll help when I can but you need to beat him. Give closure to your relatives!" The jackal whose name was Kal said with a stern yet motivational tone

Cruallen growled as he removed his gloves to reveal long claws. "TRAITOR!" he snarled at the jackal and slashed at the canine's chest wounding him before turning his attention to Troy and Nathan. He grinned as he scraped his claws against a metal pole making sparks fly.

“How much ammo you have left Nathan?" Troy asked as the duo backed up as the cat walked towards them while the jackal was dragged quietly away by piddles and Blinky to keep him safe

"I'm all out," said Nathan worriedly when he looked over at shredder as Cruallen turned it back on.

“I only got one left." Troy said as he saw the shredder roar to life and Cruallen continues to let the vehicle at a slow roll and started walking towards them

Cruallen smirked and jumped as he swatted Troy's gun away making it fly into the shredder making it break the weapon into pieces. Then Cruallen made another swipe at them intending to kill the pair as Nathan backed away. He grabbed some rope and lassoed the cat before them.

Cruallen growled but would grab his own gun and shot at Troy with his free hand which ends up catching him in the leg. “Ahhhh I'm hit! I'm hit!!!" Troy called out as he saw the shredder rolling toward him and rolls out of the way in time

Nathan gasped as he held the rope holding back Cruallen. He couldn't let that maniac hurt his mate until the sphinx cat turned his attention to the dragon. He grinned as he came closer. Thinking fast, he tied one end of the rope to a piece of broken wood from a pallet and threw it into the shredder. Cruallen felt the tug and screamed as he realized what was pulling on him.

“No wait wait wait!!" He screamed out yelling and whimpering as he was dragged in inching closer and closer to the blades where Nathan stood there doing nothing but as the car was a mere inches from going in screaming bloody murder the vehicle suddenly shuts off

He looked up to see Piddles standing there and Blinky with a rifle aimed at Cruallen. The sphinx cat snarled but he put his hands up just in time for the police to enter the scene.

The door closed on the shredder as it was Troy limping over to the group “we kill him….we're no better then he was.." Troy panted heavily limping and would fall down holding his leg and saw the bullet he had been shot with was stuck in his leg and he would pull it out groaning loudly In pain “thank you Troy thank you" whimpered Cruallen who got a snarl from the wolf. “Don't thank me…be thankful I chose to spare you" he would say.

"For now, you are under arrest," said Nathan as he slapped on the cuffs just as Chief Bogo and a few other officers came in. Nathan sighed, "Well, we still don't know what this has-" But he paused as he looked at the blank paper as words started to form on it. "Troy, look at this," he said handing him the paper.

Troy took it groaning as medics tended to his wound and his eyes went wide “ITS THE WILL!!!" He yelled out as he skimmed it over

"Well, what does it say?" asked Nathan as Piddles, Blinky and the rest of Troy's gang came up.

“I, Harold Ajax, being sound mind and body hear by degree of all my businesses, funds and anything personal shall be properly divided and evenly shared by my 2 greatest business partners and greatest friends Piddles his gang and Troy Baines and his gang" Troy would say looking to piddles who in return stared back and the wolf held out a hand with a smile “partners?" He would say to him

Piddles thought and smirked. "Myah," he said shaking Troy's hand, "Partners." Nathan smiled feeling glad that there would be no more fights. He was about to leave and give his report to Bogo when he felt a hand pull him back and he was face to face with Troy.

Troy then kisses him deeply “mmmmm think I can go with ya to buffalo butt? I got a gift for him. Plus kinda can't walk the best heh"

"Only if I get to keep you in my custody," chuckled Nathan softly as he kissed Troy and helped him over to Bogo.

The Buffalo then saw the duo walk over to him “good job..never thought I would see someone on the mafia help crack several cases in one day." He would say “how about another one that dates back years ago…" Troy said dropping a bullet that was cleaned up a bit but had some blood on it still in the buffalos hand “bet you a million dollars that bullet matches to the Draco case that went cold."

Nathan looked to Troy surprised. "Sure," said Bogo and asked forensics to take it in for analysis.

“Yeah he also confessed to the murder of former District attorney Elijah Baines. You got several witnesses that can back that confession up and one that can probably give you all the evidence of his dirty deeds" Troy said as a bandaged up Jackal walks over “This is Kal. He was part of De Vil's crew but changed sides and helped stop him"

After taking statements, Nathan looked to Troy. "We should get you to the hospital," he said pulling out his phone, "I think we'd better call your mother and tell her to meet us there. Fill her in on what happened."

“Good idea" Troy said as he was loaded onto a gurney and Kal laid down on the stretcher with Troy being very careful “heh I think he's gonna need a new home. Don't worry Kal. You got a home now." Troy smiled petting his head

Nathan smiled as he joined Troy sitting next to him the whole trip there. Later, Nathan was still by Troy's side when Fiona rushed in.

He was suddenly squeeze hugged by her and when she saw Kal asleep at his legs she smiled “looks like he made the right decision in the end" she would say to Nathan

"And we found out more about your husband and son, Balto's death... And my parents," said Nathan, "Cruallen De Vil's gonna be locked up for a long time."

“What? He did all that?" She asked in shock “yeah…he wanted to be the DA so he bumped dad off and…well…wore his skin as a coat…" Troy said with a whimper

"And he also killed my parents who used to support your father," said Nathan to Troy, the tears finally reaching the dragon's eyes.

“Hey it's ok now. We stopped him from doing more harm now." Troy said petting the dragons head

"Well, one thing's for sure, we won't be seeing a shopping mall here any time soon," he said with a chuckle.

“Yeah no kidding…even I thought that was a crazy thing" Kal said sleepily

"But I think I know of one thing we can start construction on," said Nathan softly and whispered, "Us."

Troy nods as Kal hugs Nathan “I'm really sorry about every thing I have done. I sure the guys could of been the same way if you had the same talk with them" he would say.

"I'm sure they would have, but they made that choice themselves," said Nathan, "What matters is what do you choose?"

“I wanna live with you guys. And make something better with my life" he says “undo the wrongs with rights"

"Hmmm..." thought Nathan and smirked at Troy, "Think you have an opening for a third body guard?"

“Mmmm I think so" Troy smirks petting Kal's head

Nathan chuckled seeing Kal wagging his tail and looking like a puppy who found himself a home.

“Mmmmm honestly if we weren't in a hospital. I would welcome you properly" Troy chuckles

"Save some welcome for me," chuckled Nathan, "Besides, you still owe me a place in your home as I recall."

“Well it's open. Heh I think you earned it" Troy smiles

Nathan smiled as he cupped Troy's face kissing him deeply. Later after Troy had recovered and was discharged from the hospital, Nathan was in the back seat with Troy in the wolf's car.

“Dale, Henry I want you both to meet our third new body guard. Kal," Troy smiled petting the jackals head.

The two wolves smiled and then snuggled up to the jackal. "Pleased to meet you, Kal," whispered Henry into the jackal's ear.

He shivers happily blushing. “Mmmmmm such a cutie he is," Troy chuckles.

"We'll leave him with the boys for now," said Nathan, "But for now, I want to spend some much needed time with you."

Troy chuckles pulling Nathan close and they looked at where there was high pitch moaning and Henry was making out and rubbing his large paws all over the smaller canines body

Dale smirked as he looked to Troy. "We'll handle it, sir," he said, "You and our new master get settled in." Nathan paused. "New master?" he asked looking at Troy.

"hehe well don't wear him down to much" Troy laughed and looked to Nathan nodding "So Bogo came in while you were out at the office helping with paper work and well wants us to run a new crime division and well being able to run our businesses with our friends. and well he named us as the commanders, and wanted me to tell you, he has everything set up almost fully. just needs one thing from you. to see if your down with it with your husband" Troy smiles holding out a ring

Nathan gasped when he saw the ring and tears fell from his eyes. "Yes! Yes, I will," he exclaimed, "Yes!"

Troy smiled big and slides it onto his finger "this was actually my dads wedding ring. and I want you to wear it" Troy said with a smile

"Troy... This means so much," said Nathan as he wrapped his arms around Troy's neck kissing him deeply.

Troy smiles kissing him back wagging happily "your welcome" Troy moaned and there was more high pitch moaning and they looked and chuckled seeing Kal riding Henry's large dick "hehe dont break him to hard my boy" Troy laughed at Henry

"We won't," called Dale as he had his cock in Kal's mouth. Nathan followed Troy to the master bedroom where they both started kissing the moment the door was closed.

"Mmmmm heheh you know gotta admit the little guy has some spunk and tough as nails. glad you suggested that he be my guard" Troy smiles kissing Nathan again

"And I'm so glad you proposed to me," said Nathan, "And... I want you to mark me as yours. I want to spend every moment with you."

"Mmmmmm better done then said" Troy said as he huffed getting hard quickly

"Then take me, Troy," said Nathan, "Take me like there's no tomorrow."

"Mmmm with pleasure" Troy moaned rolling over onto Nathan kissing him deeply

They fell back onto the bed where they proceeded to remove their clothes trying to get to each other's bodies under the layers of fabric.

Troy huffed as soon as they got under the fabrics he would spread apart Nathan's legs rubbing his tip against Nathan's hole

Nathan lay there panting heavily as he felt their musk fill the room turning him on and putting him into heat.

Troy moans loudly in joy and would push his cock into Nathan's hole carefully

The dragon whimpered and clung to Troy. "Troy, you're turning me on so much... In more ways than one," he panted and moaned.

"mmmmmm must have really needed my dick" Troy smirks wagging happily

"You have no idea," panted Nathan as he leaned up and kissed him deeply while his own cock was leaking pre.

Troy moans and pants heavily gently stroking Nathan's cock as he thrusted into him deeply

The dragon moaned and panted as he felt almost ready to erupt, but wanted to cum with Troy.

“mmmmm don't worry hun I'm close hun" I would moan deeply

"Cum inside me!" whimpered Nathan holding onto Troy.

Troy groans loudly cumming hard into Nathan

The dragon also cried out loudly while he came with his new husband. "I love you, Troy Baines," panted Nathan kissing the wolf deeply.

“mmm I love you too Nathan Draco" Troy smiles carefully pulling out of him and a bit time later Kal walks in panting heavily stumbling in and joins the duo in bed

Nathan chuckled. "Are you alright?" he asked as Kal flopped down on top of the bed.

"those are honestly one of the biggest dicks I've taken..." he panted laying in between the duo "hehe should actually try fucking them...whew...god they have fine asses" Troy laughs petting Kal's head

Nathan smiled as he lay back on the bed. "Might want to just suck me off," he said to Kal, "Let's just say there's a bun in the oven thanks to Troy."

"hehe very nice congrats" he smiled and saw there was cum already on Nathan's chest and belly and licks it all up

The dragon sighed as he stroked Kal's head and scratched behind his ears seeing that he liked it so much by how much his tail was wagging.

he smiles big and went to Nathan's cock licking it deeply

"You're such a good boy now," he said stroking Kal's head. Nathan looked up to Troy nodding.

Troy shook his head "lets the little guy have his fun. I'm sure he wants a turn. and...." Troy smiled and went to Nathan's ear "I'm ok if he wants to fuck you... I think it would be hot to watch him fuck you" Troy winks

"Alright... But only because I'm already pregnant with your pups," said Nathan with a smirk.

"hehe hell if there is anyone else you want as well I'm okie with it just as long as I know them and that at the end of the day our love is with each other" Troy smiles petting Nathan's head

"I promise," said Nathan, "And please, whoever you're with, always remember I'm yours."

"Of course." Troy smiles and Nathan then felt a smaller tongue rub against his hole and it was Kal going to work on his hole

The dragon moaned as he kept his legs spread and some of Troy's cum leaking out onto Kal's tongue.

he moans cutely as he licked it up and Troy rubbed the jackals bare ass as he watched on

"Oh... You got me clean and loose," said Nathan softly, "I'm all yours."

he blushes sitting up "can...can I fuck you?" he asked cutely

"Yes," said Nathan nodding and he moaned as he felt Kal enter him. He wasn't as big as Troy, but the entry into his sensitive insides made him moan.

"Mmmmm I may not be big but I know he loosened you up and well… wow you feel incredible inside" Kal moaned out

"Don't stop," panted Nathan, "Keep on going. And don't pull out either."

Kal moans deeply as he would thrust deeply and lovingly into Nathan

The dragon moaned and panted when he felt Troy crawl up and kiss his mate.

"mmmmmmmm hows he doing honey?" Troy asked with a smile

"He's... He's great," panted Nathan heavily.

"mmmmm good cause he might get lucky to have another ass soon as well" Troy smiles winking

Nathan chuckled and moaned when he felt Kal pop his knot inside and fill him up.

Troy smiles big petting Kal's head "good boy Kal."

"He really is," said Nathan petting Kal's head, "A good, sweet boy."

“mmmmmm" Troy smiles kissing Kal "want one more ass?" he asked him

"Well, he's kind of knotted to me at the moment," said Nathan, noticing Kal trying to tug out of the dragon's hole.

"mmmm I want it" he whimpers greedily "look at how tight it looks" as Troy was playfully showing it off to him

"Well, maybe if he tastes you, it might help you slip out," said Nathan gesturing to Troy and watched the wolf lean down to lick at the space between the dragon's tail hole and the jackal's sheath feeling wolf saliva loosen the knot out.

"mmmmmm tastes so good" Troy moaned out

At last, Kal's cock popped out of Nathan's tail hole.

"mmmmm there we go" Troy smiles petting Kal's head

Nathan lay down and watched as Kal leaned down to lick and slurp at Troy's puckered tail hole.

“mmmmm thats it Kal....get it nice and wet" Troy huffed smiling

Once that was done, Kal aimed his cock at Troy's hole and he moaned as he pushed in all the way. "You're just as tight as your husband!" he panted heavily with his tail wagging.

“Mmmmmmmmmm and your bigger then you look hehe" Troy said with a moan

"I... I try," panted Kal as he began pumping hard and fast.

Troy laid his head back moaning loudly and deeply

"I... I'm getting close again!" whimpered the jackal and whined as as he felt his knot slapping against Troy's tight ring.

"mmmmmmm fill me up buddy!" Troy moaned out loudly

Kal leaned forward mashing his lips to Troy's in a deep kiss as he popped his knot inside and cum filled up Troy's insides.

Troy huffs moaning loudly In joy as he was filled up

Nathan smiled as he scooted closer to Troy. "I never took you for a bottom alpha," he teased, "Maybe I should be breeding you."

“Hehe well I don't mind either." Troy said with a smile

The dragon smiled as he leaned in and kissed Troy deeply. The months passed and the streets were quite and peaceful. Nathan was in the living room reading a story to three dragon wolf pups when they heard Troy come in. "Daddy!" cried the first one happily as he literally flew into the wolf's arms.

Troy chuckled hugging the pup tightly “Kids!" Troy smiled

Nathan smiled as he closed the book to reveal a fourth one on the way. The three pups were all talking at once when Nathan came over. "Alright, kids. Our deals was is that you could stay up until your father comes back," he said, "Now say good night." The pups groaned and looked to Troy as they simultaneously said, "Dad, do we have to?"

“Do what your father says. Or I'll have to bring in Kal with his famous tickle monster" Troy laughed.

The kids giggled as they ran upstairs. "Good night!" they called hugging their father once more before hurrying off. "So, how's Piddles doing these days?" asked Nathan as he snuggled into Troy's arms.

“Doing really good. We came up with a battle of the bands competition coming up next month" Troy said with a smile

"That sounds fun," said Nathan, "And how's he doing with Blinky? Heard they started to adopt."

“They are great and actually adopted a rabbit boy" Troy said

"That's so sweet," said Nathan smiling and he sighed as he looked at a picture of Harold and Troy in front of the Iceberg Club when the wolf was 18. "Do you think Harold would be proud?" he asked softly.

Troy smiles seeing the picture and take it looking at it as well “I think so." Troy said with a smile “I'm sure Harry is too. Ike I said he might have been a dick but he meant well. I'm sure they are happy to see their businesses are in good hands"

"And I'm happy to have saved the wolf who was framed by a cat who haunted us both for years," said Nathan as he held Troy's face and kissed him.

Mmmmm me too" he kisses back

As they kissed, they could feel Harold's spirit looking down on them with a soft smile. He was glad to see Troy had finally found peace. The wolf was truly happy.

The End.
