Wolf Asylum
lied—yet again.
    â€œThat’s horrible! We can always get you another one,” Caroline suggested.
    â€œI think I’ve had my fill for today, thanks though.” Another lie.
    Caroline held her warm body against Darwin’s own. “We were starting to worry about you. You’d been gone for a long time.”
    â€œI thought you would have gone back by now. I know the way home, you didn’t have to wait.”
    â€œWe’re family, of course we wait,” she replied with a smile of sincerity.
    Darwin felt better for a moment. His lies drifted from his mind. This problem would go away in time. As Darwin looked into Caroline’s eyes she moved in and began kissing him. The act caught Darwin off-guard. With his tongue massaging hers, he found himself content in the role, and he played along. Soon enough, the two were on the grass fucking like animals where they continued until dawn.

Chapter Five
    â€œHow would you like to become a werewolf tonight?” Darwin asked his loyal Guardian.
    â€œI pledge my entire existence to you!” Robbie replied, bowing his head slightly.
    â€œThat’s good Robbie. I need someone I can trust for a very difficult job. If I give you the gift, then you must use that power to complete a mission. I can’t ask anyone else to do it. I need someone like you who has something to prove,” Darwin stated to Robbie as they walked through a deserted McCarran Park.
    â€œWhat do you need me to do?” Robbie asked.
    Darwin lay a hand on his portly shoulder gently. “As a Guardian, your role is to keep humans out of New Haven during the full moons. I must expand your job description. Someone from the outside got in and they saw me change. I need you to find them, and kill them.”
    â€œHow did they get away? If you know they saw you why didn’t you stop them?”
    Darwin continued with his half truths, “I made a mistake. I knew they were there and I let them watch me change. I was fucking another werewolf at the time. There was a thrill in it, knowing I had been caught. I assumed I could catch them after I was done…I was wrong and I lost them. If I could leave town to look for them I would but tonight is the first full moon and I am needed here. You will must find her scent and continue the hunt. I will help you find the trail, but you will have to follow it on your own. Most importantly, I need this kept between you and me. It’s an embarrassment—you understand?”
    The podgy young man nodded his head in agreement without saying anything. Darwin had his full attention and would have his undying loyalty for the foreseeable future. Robbie, like any other Guardian, wanted nothing more than to become a creature of the night. Robbie was the ideal candidate for conversion. Young, nerdy, bitter at the world—and dying for some payback. Robbie had stood out more than other Guardians for the simple fact he wasn’t an ass-kisser. All Guardians were eager to please which made telling them apart very difficult. They were after all, nothing more than human; a sub-species who happened to know a God when they saw one…and like all idolizations, they wanted the power of God, as well. If for no other reason than to command the respect they had always longed for.
    Darwin noted two months earlier that the young man followed orders to the letter without back talk—or any talk for that matter. Darwin was most impressed that around the werewolves, Robbie knew his role and he didn’t offer his flawed human perspectives on the issues brought up. Robbie merely followed the directions that were given to him and it was through this loyalty that brought him to the front of Darwin’s list for blessing.
    â€œIt’s time,” Darwin said. “Give me your hand.”
    Robbie hesitated, asking one question before giving himself over.
    â€œI know you normally make the person feed from you to make the change
