Nadine let herself into Madam Yvonne's shop, “You called me.” She said as she sat down on one of the wicker chairs.
“Yes.” Madam Yvonne said pouring some tea into two cups. She brought them over to where Nadine was, and offered a cup to her.
“No, thanks.” Said Nadine, as she remembered what happened the last time she drank Madam Yvonne's tea.
“You sure? It's really good.” Madam Yvonne asked as she sipped hers and let out a moan of relish.
Nadine shook her head. She twiddled her thumbs and looked at Madam Yvonne, “You called me.” She reiterated.
“I need a situation report. Have you started hunting? Where's the lycanthrope blood that I asked you to get?” Madam Yvonne asked.
“Umm, I haven't found any lycanthrope.” Nadine said uneasily. She wasn't about to tell Madam Yvonne about the idiot Lycan Throb.
“Oh well! Let's not rush you. I'm pretty sure you'll get one.” Madam Yvonne consoled.
“Another reason I called you here is to give you your enhancers.” Madam Yvonne stood up and went to a shelf where she she brought out a miniature crate of vials filled with some green bubbly liquid.
“What's that?” Nadine asked distastefully.
“Dragon Rage.” Madam Yvonne announced.
“That sounds like some street drug.” Nadine said skeptically.
Madam Yvonne looked outraged, “Excuse me, I brew these myself.”
“What's in them?” Nadine asked.
“I can't tell you. It's a trade secret.” Madam Yvonne wanted to be indispensable to Nadine.
“So what does it do?” Nadine asked.
“It heightens your senses and your strength which means; you'll become stronger, faster and more agile.” Madam Yvonne explained.
“Wow!” Nadine explained.
“Yes. But, the effects begin to wear off after one hour. Also, there's a fair usage of one vial a day. An overdose could lead to liver failure, sensory overload and inevitably death.” Madam Yvonne warned ominously.
“Death? Liver failure?” Nadine asked, alarmed. “Does that mean that if I take two vials in a day that I will die?”
“No, you won't. But it's advisable not to. You don't want to push your body.” Madam Yvonne smiled.
Nadine nodded, somewhat relieved.
“You've been so kind to me. When do you want me to start hunting for the lycanthrope that gave you that scar?” Nadine asked.
“Don't worry. Maybe after you find your man.” Madam Yvonne said, placing her hands on Nadine's shoulders.
“So, do you want to taste the Dragon Rage?” Madam Yvonne asked.

Two days later, Nadine quietly stalked a man on his way home. She suspected that he was a lycanthrope.
Some days ago, she had gone to a spa get her legs waxed when she'd overheard one of the workers complaining about a very hairy customer that came to get his body waxed every three days.
“His hairs grow so fast.” One had complained.
Nadine had picked up on that. It meant that the man either had severe hypertrichosis, or he was a lycanthrope.
Upon glimpsing his huge form, Nadine decided that it was the latter.
Since that day, she had watched him and found out some things about him like; his name was Dustin and he was a construction worker. He didn't have any social life and was curt to the point of rudeness when talking to people.
Sometimes, he'd bear a bandage or two.
Suddenly, Nadine lost him.
“Impossible. He was just in front of me.” Nadine mused. She decided that he was on to her. Immediately, she brought out a vial of Dragon Rage and emptied it down her throat, remembering the first time she had done so. She felt like she could fight and elephant and win. She whipped out her pistol and made sure it was fully loaded.
Then, she proceeded to look around for Dustin slowly, her senses of sight and hearing heightened.
She heard a footstep to her right and pointed her gun in that direction. Of course, Dustin simultaneously pointed a stiletto at her.
“Who are you and why have you been following me?” Dustin growled.
“How do you know I'm following you?” Nadine replied, not giving an inch.
“Your smell.” Dustin replied.
Nadine didn't think that her scent was that outstanding, which was further proof that Dustin was one of them.
“I know what you are.” Nadine said.
“Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?” Dustin said haughtily, not bothering to confirm or deny her accusation. Dustin thought that he could take Nadine in a fight, after all, she was but a human.
“I have a fetish for your kind.” Nadine said smoothly.
“Do you now?” Dustin smiled. He liked having sex with humans more than going at it with his own kind.
“Why don't we go back to my place?” Nadine smiled, putting her gun back in her hip holster. That way, she could trap him and question him to her heart's content.
“Nah. Mine's closer. I can't wait.” Dustin said and kissed her roughly.
Wether it was the enhancers or her abstinence, Nadine didn't know but she found herself returning Dustin's kiss just as eagerly, their tongues and teeth clashing.
He was about to rip her shirt when she stilled his hands, “Not here, in an alley.”
“Fine.” Dustin said and in a flash, carried Nadine in his arms and leapt faster than any human to his house.
Nadine smiled, she was going to enjoy this.
* * *
Nadine didn't get enough time to survey Dustin's apartment. Immediately they entered, he started pulling at his clothes and when he was only in his briefs, he moved over to Nadine and pulled her to him, ravishing her mouth.
Nadine could feel his erection as it pressed into her and tried to convince herself not to respond for Dave's sake.
She lost that battle when Dustin kissed a path to her earlobe, nibbling on it. Nadine felt herself get wet and she moaned aloud.
Dustin removed her t-shirt and her bra with great impatience and suckled her nipples, before biting them.
The sensation hit Nadine at her core and she pulled at his hair, causing Dustin to pick her up and drop her on his lumpy sofa.
He pulled down her panties and her jeans and immediately, he spread her legs and roughly thrust into her.
Nadine growled. Dustin's penetration had been a little painful because she wasn't that wet, but she thoroughly enjoyed it. Many times, she and Dave had roleplayed like this but nothing beat the real deal.
Nadine grabbed Dustin's firm ass and tried to get him to go deeper. Dustin laughed and thrust harder. Nadine closed her eyes and savored the sensation. She had gone without for so long.
Dustin's thrusts quickened and caused Nadine to moan as she climaxed. Dustin continued for a while before he pulled out and spilled his seed on the sofa, all the while growling like an animal.
* * *
Five rounds later, Dustin fell asleep and Nadine watched him. Sometime during the second or third round, they had moved to his cluttered bedroom.
Nadine felt like she had been thoroughly serviced, which in truth she was. She postively ached.
Nadine idly wondered if she had engaged in bestiality. At least, he had kept his human form but the guttural noises had made had reminded her of a savage beast.
Nadine remembered what Madam Yvonne said about handling a lycanthrope in human form. She decided that it was the best time to question Dustin and find out what he knew about Dave.
Dustin awoke to someone shaking him. He wondered what the woman wanted. He hoped it wasn't another round. She had been more energetic than all his other bed mates; both human and lycanthrope.“What do you want?” Dustin asked drowsily.All vestiges of sleep deserted him when he saw the pistol she pointed at him.Nadine pulled out her phone and showed him a picture of Dave, “Have you seen this man around?”Dustin looked at the picture, then at Nadine. Before she could blink, Dustin had flung her off him.Nadine groaned as she hit the wall with a thud and fell to the ground, losing her gun and her phone in the process.Nadine got up and discovered that she was not aching anywhere. That was the enhancer at work although she could feel the effects wearing off.“What the fuck do you think you're doing? Pointing a gun at me?” Dustin growled.“Questioning you.” Nadine said as she attacked him head on, only to have him duck fastly. Nadine could
Madam Yvonne hummed happily as she put some spices into the concoction she was brewing. Truly, she had underestimated that Nadine. She had been shocked when Nadine had come in a few hours ago and dropped off the vial containing some lycanthrope's blood. Madam Yvonne had tasted it and found out that Nadine wasn't shitting her.For the first time in a long time, she had hope that she would get revenge on the lycanthrope who had scarred her face.Madam Yvonne stirred her brew which contained the lycanthrope's blood and waited for it to boil.A visitor entered and immediately, Madam Yvonne positioned herself in front of the brew, effectively hiding it from the person's view.The visitor turned out to be Nick.“Ah, Nick. To what do I owe the pleasure? Are you here in your capacity as a detective or an Alpha?” Madam Yvonne said jovially.Ignoring her, Nick sniffed deeply, “I smell blood.” He said suspiciously.Blasted lycanthrope, thought Madam Yvonne. Their sense of smell was so strong that
Nadine stared at the medal around her neck as Madam Yvonne locked it from behind.“How exactly does it work?” Nadine asked, fingering the pendant.“Once a lycanthrope is near, the medal will feel hot. It's that simple.” Madam Yvonne said, pleased with herself.“How did you do it?” Nadine asked. She was sounding like one of her eager students.“There are some inscriptions made on it. The ink I used for the inscriptions have lycanthrope blood in it. Lycanthropes can tell each other in human form. This will give you the power to do so.” Madam Yvonne explained patiently.“Wow! That makes my job easier.” Nadine said happily.* * *Two days later, Nadine sighed in frustration. The medal didn't make her work any easier. It wasn't like a tracker or anything, so after walking around the streets, the medal had not alerted her to the presence of a lycanthrope.Nadine was also frustrated by her naivete. She hadn't asked Dustin to show her a picture of Marlowe or to tell her his address before sh
Nadine got to the bar and even from the parking lot, she could hear the music. 'The Devil's den' was proclaimed in front of the building with neon lights.Nadine went in and the first sight that hit her was the women dancing provocatively on the tables, wearing only bikinis.Nadine ordered a coke and the barman gave it to her. She sat at the counter and sipped her lukewarm coke as she surveyed for anyone who exuded lycanthrope vibes.“Yo. Is Marlowe around here somewhere?” Nadine asked the barman casually.The barman shook his head and went back to mixing drinks.* * *Nick stepped into the bar and flexed his muscles in readiness. He was going to get this huntress and have a word with her. He pictured her as being big-boned. Obviously, only a large woman would be able to defeat a lycanthrope.At one table, Nick saw a huge woman sitting alone and texting on her phone.He sat down next to her, “Hey. Are you the huntress?” Nick asked with the tone he used when interrogating criminals.
For some reason, the next day after her confrontation with Nick, Nadine did not feel so gung-ho about hunting. In fact, Nadine didn't feel so gung-ho about anything. She looked at her apartment and cringed. Clothes and books were strewn about, take-out boxes littered everywhere and the place was so dusty.Nadine steeled herself and began to clean her apartment. While doing that, she was free to remember what had happened with Nick in that bar. Hell, her hand spotted a bruise which still hurt.Nadine couldn't believe that Nick had accused her of killing the three other lycanthropes. How could he?Nadine noticed with surprise the tears that rolled down her cheeks and she angrily dashed them away.Why did she even let Nick affect her that way? Why did she care what he thought of her? Why did she feel hurt after discovering his deceit and lies?Nadine took a deep breath and steeled her shoulders. She wouldn't take him up on his stupid offer. She
Nick didn't like looking a gift horse in the mouth, but he needed to know why Nadine had changed her mind. That day she'd called him, she had rudely stated that she was on board with his offer and had hung up on him.So here they were, at some drive through, pretending to watch a movie while they discussed their plans covertly.This was so nobody from the pack would see Nadine and Nick and suspect that she was the huntress. His pack might decide to get mob justice by lynching her, and that didn't bode well with Nick's plans. He needed her to help him, before—. Before what? He thought.Nick knew he couldn't arrest Nadine. He sighed and said to her, “Once we're through, you'll stop hunting lycanthropes and hand over your weapons to me.”Nadine couldn't believe her ears, “Ok. I'll stop hunting lycanthropes once I get Dave back. But you're deluded if you think that I will hand over my weapons to you. Those cost a bloody fortune!”
Nick was surprised that Nadine had invited him to her apartment. Sure, he had scratches and bites all over him that she wanted to dress, but he was still shocked. After all she had accused him of doing, Nick didn't believe that Nadine would still care enough to look at his wounds.He stood and waited for Nadine who went to change out of her armor.“Sit!” Nadine gave the curt order when she reappeared and Nick obeyed.Nadine entered her bathroom and came out with a tin first aid box.“You don't have to do this you know, my kind heal fast.” Nick assured Nadine.Nadine gave him a scowl that screamed 'Shut up!' and went to work, cleaning the nasty cuts.When she dabbed the antiseptic saturated cotton on one of the numerous bite marks on his neck, the pain caused Nick to inhale sharply and in doing so, he caught Nadine's scent.It was a floral scent, but she also smelled of battle.Uh-oh.Nick instantly hardened in his jeans and cursed inwardly. He had been forced to wear Marlowe's jeans af
Nadine sighed and twiddled her thumbs. Being locked in a car with Nick did nothing for her self-control. Every time she inhaled, Nick's sexy cologne filtered into her nostrils, and every time she looked at him, she remembered him doing wickedly delicious things to her.“You're nervous.” Nick noted.“I'm not nervous, I'm restless. We've been out here waiting instead of us barging into that building!” Nadine said. She and Nick had been parked outside some gambling parlor for hours, waiting for Syd, who they had been tailing for a day to come out.“You know we can't do that. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves.” Nick replied. “You're a hunter, you know that hunters can wait patiently for their prey.”“Fine. Fine.” Nadine replied, looking away. “Let's keep ourselves busy.”When she saw the suggestive glint in Nick's eyes, she groaned, “I didn't mean like that.”“What did you mean?” Nick asked, chuckling.“Uh, okay, tell me something about how lycanthropes operate.” Nadine said.“E
