Tales from HELLBOWNED

Lycanthropy

Horror
Paranormal

A kukri is still in Riley's neck when he runs. Blood loss dumps him on a riverbank. The beast falls away. The knife slides free. What remains is a man who remembers killing CJ because a voice inside him wanted meat. He crawls to a rotting shack, pours liquor on the wound, and waits for morning. Moonlight does not wait. Hunters follow the trail to the door. They do not leave it. Detective Murphy finds the wreckage and knows it is not human. He tracks Riley into the timber, meets him as a wolf, and puts him down without ending him. In a cabin far from town, Murphy stitches the ruin of Riley's body and tells him the truth: Murphy is a werewolf who learned not to become a slaughterhouse. Grounding. Tracking. Hunger redirected instead of denied. Thralls in the woods. A psychic ache toward Rhiane, who grieves where Riley cannot go. Control is not the cage. Control is owning the kill you already made and choosing the next one. Tales from HELLBOWNED is raw monster horror about guilt, mentorship, and a man who stops pretending the beast is someone else.

CJ thought his family was his anchor, but when his vampire siblings Alaric and Skye drag him into a brutal ancestral ritual, he becomes the catalyst for a nightmare.
