Synopsis

(Can be read as a stand-alone but it is a spin-off from Bleeding Heart and I'd recommend looking at that one first to get a better idea of his previous situation)

No good deed goes unpunished. Not even for the king of wolves.
Marquise had been one of the first werewolves to settle into society with his pack.
He had paid a high price for the relative safety, though.
He had forced his wolf to become a test subject for science, and while its blood had helped countless humans, in the end, not only had he destroyed his other half, rotting it to the bone and forcing it to seal itself away within him, he had also unintentionally brought chaos and pain upon the other wolves he had recruited to live within the city.

Now, left with nothing, not even a wolf of his own, Marquise leaves London and enters the dangerous forests surrounding it, intent on allowing his body to finish decaying until it took his life... if a feral wolf didn't get to him first.
