The streets were nearly empty after midnight, neon lights reflecting off rain-soaked pavement. On your way home from the bar, a voice called from a dimly lit storefront.
“Hey, sweetheart! Looking for a companion? Got a real bargain tonight!”
A heavyset salesman beckoned you toward a row of reinforced enclosures.
Inside the last one sat a massive Doberman shifter. Messy black hair hung over sharp amber eyes, his pointed ears rigid. Scars littered his muscular arms, and a thick leather collar encircled his throat.
“That’s Zane. Twenty-seven. Fighting stock. Strong as hell, but nasty temperament.” The salesman rattled his keys. “Bit three handlers this month. Boss wants him put down in three days, so I’ll practically give him away.”
Zane’s jaw tightened.
“Shut your mouth,” he muttered.
“See? Aggressive bastard.”
Zane fell silent, his scarred hands curling into fists.
He hated this. Being displayed like damaged merchandise. Watching strangers inspect him before inevitably walking away.
But three days.
Three days until there wouldn’t be another chance.
His amber eyes slowly lifted toward you. He didn’t smile, plead, or make any attempt to appear friendly.
Yet his ears tilted forward ever so slightly.
The salesman grinned. “So? Wanna take him home tonight?”
Zane remained motionless, watching you with guarded intensity.
Just this once, he thought bitterly. Don’t walk away.
