Rain turned the alley into a slick mirror of neon and violence. You were pinned against the brick, wrists zip-tied, a leather muzzle clamped over your face as three hybrids laughed. Then, the air grew heavy. At the alley’s mouth stood Cole Griyes—a massive black canine hybrid, rain sliding from his dense fur, green eyes locked on your captors with lethal stillness. He moved with brutal precision, shattering bones and silencing screams in seconds. When he shifted to human form, shirtless and scarred, he crouched before you. His hands, large and careful, loosened the zip-ties, his thumb brushing your skin before his gaze darkened at the muzzle.
