Chapter Thirty-Nine

Clapham Common, South London, full moon

The leader of the Wolf Brothers went by the name of Warg Daddy. Leader of the Pack, they called him. That had been his idea. He’d always been obsessed with werewolves, so the possibility of becoming one was beyond awesome. Trouble was, it was proving to be harder than he’d expected.

First you had to catch yourself a real live werewolf. Then you had to make it bite you without letting the goddamn motherfucker kill you. Neither step was easy. Kidnapping those dogs from the kennels had been a dummy run. Pretty stupid idea, now he came to think of it. What use was it getting a goddamn dog to bite you? All you got was a nasty flesh wound and a risk of catching some horrible disease. They’d had to get rid of the dogs in the end. That idea was going nowhere.

So now they were trying to catch themselves an actual werewolf, which was turning out to be difficult. He suspected that half of the Brothers didn’t even believe in werewolves. Perhaps more than half. Maybe most of them. But that didn’t matter. Warg Daddy was their Leader and they would do what he said. The biggest problem was that the moon was full only one goddamn day a month. How could you work with that? But Warg Daddy was no quitter. The Pack depended on him. He had come up with a plan that seemed workable.

You wanted to catch a fish, you needed bait. Same thing with a werewolf.

The trouble was, who? Most of the Pack looked pretty unappetizing to Warg Daddy. Too much facial hair, not enough baths. He wouldn’t fancy sinking his teeth into any of them unless he’d downed a good few pints to warm himself up. No self-respecting werewolf would want to gobble one of the Wolf Brothers in a hurry. They needed a more attractive morsel. That’s what they were doing now, trying to find one.

With hindsight, the girl who had been looking after the dogs would have been just perfect for the job. A cute redhead, barely sixteen by Warg Daddy’s reckoning. He’d happily have nibbled her himself but the chance was gone. Hindsight was a good thing for sure, but not as helpful as foresight. They’d just have to locate another suitable girl.

In fact, Warg Daddy couldn’t believe his luck. One was coming their way right now.

They’d stationed themselves up on Clapham Common in the hope of picking up a tasty late-night jogger. The Common was a good place to hang, big enough to hide in, popular enough to find some innocent passer-by to accost. And it had been where the Beast had first been spotted, exactly one month previously. A Ripper murder had taken place here recently too. Half a naked torso discovered next to a muddy track. The police were still searching for the other half. Good luck with that.

The sky had been clear earlier, but a cold drizzly rain had begun to
