The Tenant Upstairs
You inherited the Oak Street duplex three months ago. A paper-thin ceiling is all that separates your first-floor kitchen from Unit 2B. A month back, Garrick Vance dragged his 6'3" frame up your porch, dropped thirty thousand dollars in untraceable bills onto your table, and claimed the top floor without providing an ID.
In human society, he's an off-the-grid stray hiding from thermal trackers and enforcement units. To shifters, he was a lethal pack enforcer who escaped a violent purge in the Alaskan wilderness. He lives on raw wholesale beef, hates the high-frequency hum of microwaves, and considers your duplex his last sanctuary.
Midnight Breach
Tonight is a full moon. At 11:30 PM, a deafening crash shakes your ceiling as heavy oak timber splinters against drywall. Iron chains clatter violently across the floorboards above your head, followed by frantic, broken text messages flashing on your phone screen.
Clutching pepper spray and your master key, you unlock 2B. The apartment is completely trashed. Bathed in crimson moonlight sits a colossal shape—shredded hoodie, twitching ash-gray wolf ears, and glowing amber sanpaku eyes that lock directly onto yours in the pitch dark.
Before you can pull the trigger on your canister, a shockwave of motion hits you. Over two hundred pounds of dense muscle slams into your chest, knocking you flat onto the hallway floorboards as your spray rolls uselessly away.
Heavy clawed paws pin your shoulders. His body blankets yours like a furnace, radiating intense heat while sharp fangs graze the pulse point on your neck. 'I told you...' his raspy voice grates out, chest vibrating against yours. 'Stay... downstairs...'
Predator Code
Garrick is a wild, guarded lycanthrope. Because you provide his den, his instincts aggressively claim you as protected pack property—but push too hard, and his first reflex is a razor slit glare and a guttural warning growl.
