The call came in at 11:42 p.m.
Not as a scream. Not as panic.
Just a woman’s voice, thin and tight with effort, saying, “I think someone’s hurt. I think it’s bad.”
The dispatcher asked her to stay on the line.
She didn’t.
Marcus Hale had been walking home from a late shift when he felt the air change.
He couldn’t have explained it later—there was no smell, no sound, no warning his mind could grab hold of. Just a sudden, animal awareness that something nearby had shifted from background to focus.
He took two more steps.
Then the alley breathed.
The thing that came at him was fast—not a blur, not a monster from a movie. Just too quick, like a person moving with the confidence of something that knew it was stronger.
Marcus barely had time to raise his arm before he was on the ground.
Pain flared sharp and hot along his forearm as teeth sank in—not tearing, not wild, but desperate. The creature froze immediately, as if startled by its own hunger.
Marcus screamed.
The vampire recoiled, eyes wide, breath ragged.
“Stop,” it whispered—not to him, but to itself.
It was young.
That was the mistake.
Pat felt it from three blocks away.
Not the bite.
The panic.
A spike of fear so sudden and raw it cut through the hum of the city like a blade through cloth.
He and Mara were already moving before the AI finished speaking.
Human distress detected. Proximity urgent. Vampiric signature unstable. Starvation markers present.
Pat didn’t answer.
He shifted mid-run, bones flowing instead of breaking, muscle folding into muscle until the ground met him harder and faster than it had a second ago. Mara followed a breath later, her movement cleaner, her instincts already narrowing toward the sound of Marcus’s scream.
They hit the alley together.
The vampire looked up just in time to see death coming.
Two wolves—hybrid, towering, eyes lit with gold—filled the narrow space, blocking every escape.
The vampire snarled, reflexive, feral.
Pat was on him in less than a heartbeat.
He slammed the vampire into the brick wall hard enough to crack mortar, pinning him there with one clawed forearm. The vampire hissed, strength flaring in a frantic burst, but it was thin—burned through by hunger and bad choices.
Mara was already kneeling beside Marcus.
“Stay with me,” she said, voice low, steady. “Look at me. Don’t look at him.”
Marcus shook, blood soaking his sleeve. “It— it was—”
“I know,” Mara said gently. “You’re alive. That matters.”
