Chapter 14 - Body Heat

Deadly still waiting in the shadows watching for the signs of turning he desperately needed from this female before him lying still upon the floor of the deserted warehouse, Nick turned his head scenting for the other female on guard duty outside. She was weak, they were all weak but he couldn't afford to turn a male, especially an alpha male who would challenge him in a fight to the death to lead this woeful pack.

Dim grey memories swirled within his half human half animal brain, burning with blood lust for the vampire he had seen, smelt and tasted. The blood licked from around the mouth of the dead female who had attacked it was so intoxicating his body stilled twitched from the memory, the blood even that small amount had healed his wound from the gun shot quicker than his body would have.

Nick was old by werewolf standards having killed a newborn vamp shortly after his own turning. Drinking the blood, eating the meat and crushing the bone to extract the last of its immortality, food from the gods for his kind. He needed fresh food to keep his own aging process at bay again, having traveled across many places without success up till now to find another of its kind.

"God help me" groaned the female on the ground, covered in wolf bites, filth, blood and fleas. Nick curled his top lip back disgusted that this third female would not turn, even after the bites which should have spread the virus.

"I'm coming little one" he whispered to her kneeling down and stroking her neck staring into her pain filled eyes looking into his for salvation. He smiled back before tearing out her throat in a rush of blood then throwing her twitching carcass towards the door. It was no good to him now so it might as well be of use to the other female, to help train her in the ways of tearing flesh, to inflict maximum damage on a body. It was time to hunt for more females he through wearily turning to the sink to wash off the blood and make himself presentable to the brainless weak ones who inhabitated those clubs.
