  Stephen&#39;s Perspective
  Damn it! This bunch of damned Wolf cubs, their lair is even more meager than I imagined. &nbsp;
  We rushed into this so-called wolf-protected town as if we were crushing bugs. It&#39;s really not bad to watch those usually haughty monsters now running away in panic. 
  Carl was right, you couldn’t&nbsp;go easy on these beasts. We herded the humans out of the way like sheep. As for the useless, old, and weak werewolves? Hmph, they were just wasting air. A few crisp gunshots later, more bodies littered the ground. Watching the last glimmer fade from their eyes didn&#39;t even make a ripple in my heart. Experimental value? These pieces of trash weren&#39;t worth it.
  Setting the fire was the most satisfying part. Watching the beast-stained house devoured by flames, wood crackling in its death throes, thick smoke billowing skyward, a sickening sense of fulfill

  These evil wolves&nbsp;clearly made some kind of dirty deal with hunters, for which they even hunted their own kind.
