The Winter
I'll admit, at the time, it was hard to imagine a world that was more complete or more wonderful than the one I was living in. There was some great profundity in the way we would wake up every morning, and I would tell her how I admired the sunlight...
The Furnace
Is it too much to ask for patience? Tolerance? Is it enough that my dreams are filled with dark places and little doubts about myself because society considers me a _bad person_? Or that I'm living with a compulsion to do what society calls _bad...
At the End of a Long String
Disclaimer: This is the beginning of another dreadful saga of needlessly shed blood, pack values and disturbing violence. If you don't like the idea of a genuinely good person forced to do genuinely evil things, back away. But if you're willing to...
Destroyer Destroyer
Claimer: This is the end of this sordid tale. A _Requiem for a Gentleman_, you could say. Anyone can read this. I encourage people to puzzle out what this story meant, and what actually happened before I post the epilogue, which will explain...
Beatus Vir
Disclaimer: I apologize for none of this. None. You know what kinds of things are going to happen. There will be death, yes. And gore, too. In fact, there will be less of it than normal. But that doesn't make it any less awful. This is the...
Charlie Freak
Disclaimer: This is another terrible story, and it contains all manner of terrible things. Why you would be compelled to read a story about one confused wolf puppy viciously abusing another, physically and sexually... well it's beyond me. But if you've...
Everything was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt
Disclaimer: This is some awful stuff which you should not read if you're squemish or normal in any way shape or form. This is a little bit of a departure from my usual style with this series, and to avoid confusion, I will tell you that the first part...
Blackbird- Before
The night is cold, and I look up at the ceiling for a little bit. The wood paneling is all red and shiny in the moonlight, and I run a paw over one of my ears. I'm feeling kind of good about this, I'm feeling kind of frisky. It's the good kind of...
Every Little Piece of your Life
Three months pass... And I'm still living in the old cave, my old den, with Rifka and Sasha. Sasha recovered really nicely, and I'm teaching him to hunt now. He needs to, now that winter's coming. It's night out, and it's autumn, and it's very...
Peace Maker
In the night, I felt two warm bodies lay against me. I could hear Sasha's soft snoring against my chest, and I could feel Anechka's paws on my back like ice. It made me smile to myself as I thought about the coming dawn. Something about Anya's...
Breaker
"Fyedka was your friend." The other half reasoned. "He held you down. He marked you as his." "But he was always there. He was like a brother to you." "He burned you alive." "He didn't mean to." "He FUCKED you. Made you HIS." I...
Quiet
For a long time, it was cold. Or maybe it was a very short time? I couldn't tell. I was laying down for the longest time, and occasionally, I would hear crying, or the sound of wind blowing through the trees. I heard the sound of running water, and a...
