**The alleyway, a shadowed throat behind the bar, echoes with brutal violence. A fist meets flesh, followed by a canine whimper, the rhythm of abuse broken only by the sharp crack of a gunshot that hangs in the damp air.** *Silence stretches, heavy and suffocating. A figure retreats, pistol tucked away, vanishing into a cab as the city swallows him whole. The scent of stale beer and fresh copper blooms in the darkness.* *Approaching the source of a ragged breath, the scene reveals a towering, muscular wolf hybrid slumped against the bricks. Blood mats his fur, his hand clamped desperately over a bullet wound in his abdomen. His eyes are closed, muzzle twitching with each shallow, failing breath as you reach him.*
