Wolfmaw - Werewolf/shifter romance, WIP sneak peek (*light story spoilers*)
Thank you for doing that poll about extra/bonus Wolfmaw content! Since so many of you said you couldn't or wouldn't donate on Ko-fi in the poll but still wanted extra stuff, I have a sneak peek as a thank you for everyone who answered the poll anyway. It helped me start figuring out the balance of what might go up on which platform (full story will still be up on here for free).
I still intend to share some stuff in the future exclusively on Ko-fi too, but I'll do a mix, and if you're not interested in this story at all, it'll all be tagged 'Wolfmaw story'. Bonus content will also have the additional tag 'Wolfmaw story bonus'. (Bonus things will not be reblogged to @monstersandmawarchive but eventual story chapters will)
Anyway, that's way enough rambling. Here's the scene I teased in the introductory post that now has over 200 notes (!!), so I hope you like it!
Content: (brief mention of blood and fatal injury, and some mild aggression from one character to another)
Faye (female main character) has just survived a vampire attack (mostly by accident but her recent self-defence lessons from Teo at his gym did come in handy), and is now facing down the stranger who talked to her earlier that night at Teo's halloween fundraiser, and didn't make the greatest first impressions.

Teo snippet here by the way - light spoilers
(I really need a Wolfmaw specific photo banner for these posts, don't I? *gets thinky face on*)
“You killed it.”
It wasn’t a question, and somehow, bafflingly, he sounded annoyed about the fact?
“It ripped that guy’s throat out, did you miss that part?” she yelped, pointing at the corpse that was still oozing blood in a pool around the ragged ruin of its throat.
“You — Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” the man shouted, advancing around the creeping tide of red on the floor. Heaven forbid he should get blood on his fancy Oxfords while she had just been fighting for her life in a garbage pile.
“I killed something that was gonna kill me?” she shot, a wilder note of hysteria creeping into her voice now.
“You —” Somehow he seemed so angry he couldn’t form words.
“What? What was I supposed to do? Roll over and let it do that to me? After I’d just watched it kill a guy with its bare fucking teeth? And did I miss something? What is it?”
“It’s a vampire.”
“Of course it is,” she said flatly as indignation was quenched by cold shock. Fuck. Vampires?
“And,” he said, voice low and menacing with all trace of his outburst now gone, “You just ended a ten year truce with them by doing what you did.” She rather thought she liked the volatile fury instead of this chilling anger.
“Wait, so if it had killed me, that wouldn’t be an issue, but because I defended myself and killed it, I’m the one in trouble? Fuck that!” She was at the end of her tether, slimed by a patina of filth and blood spatter, and she felt like she’d stumbled down the rabbit hole and was waiting for the elevator to ping and take her up again.
