When Mike, accompanied by two of his men, entered the dark lane where he'd seen the lights of the House of Crimson Windows, a two-wheeled buggy emerged from the dark.

The buggy was drawn by two soulless zombies. Unlike the real undead ones, soulless zombies were still alive—if, of course, their existence devoid of all will and emotion could count for a life.

One of the Shadow's servants sat in the coachman's seat, lashing them with his whip. Behind him, a tall cage was mounted on the buggy floor, its bars strong and thick. Inside sat a white-haired werewolf. Much larger than a normal wolf, it stood a head taller than Mike when it reared up. Its eyes gleamed crimson, as if filled with blood. Mike’s eyes went straight to the werewolf’s hairy neck. He saw a cord braided from wolfsbane and closed in place with the rune of obedience. Good. That meant that Albino would stay under control. As strong and ferocious as the werewolf was, he could neither pull the cord off nor withstand the magic of the rune—in other words, the will of whoever imposed this magic.

The buggy stopped. The men opened the cage. They shrank back as Albino sprang out, sending one of them sprawling to the ground with a casual swing of his paw. Albino was one of those werewolves who'd stayed in the wolf's body for so long, they'd all but given up their human nature. He growled, rearing up and baring his teeth, each a finger long.

Mike shoved the girl's scarf into his face. The werewolf sniffed it deep and long. He growled again, dropped on all fours, looked to his right and left, and trotted along the street past the recoiling men, sniffing the air.

Mike's men started an agitated conversation with the coachman. Mechanically, Mike rubbed his scar as he watched the werewolf disappear from under his half-closed eyelids.

Now the hunt for the one had truly begun.
