Unknown Location, Las Vegas, Nevada....
Pain filled the panting Duko's body as he rushed to get as far away from the casino and Rae as his legs could possibly carry him. His ears had been filled with the call of the moon and the only words that seemed to come to mind was a direct warning for him to run. So he did, the white hot glow of the moonlight beamed against his exposed flesh as he ran on two legs than on all fours to get himself a safe distance as he felt his teeth shift and fangs elongage and protrude from his mortal mouth before it contorted into the makings of a vicious dog-like snout. He awoke after another of his horrific dreams to feel his heart beating within the confines of his chest as if it were intent on exploding amid his ribcage which began to ripple and expand to unnatural proportions. His fingers began to grow elongating as much as his fangs had as he shuffled into the elevator and rushed out the front door wearing only a pair of boxer shorts following his chat with Rae about their possibly plans for their future.
She'd gone to bed and he attempted to do the same but the pain struck him causing immense confusion and discomfort. It increased as the moments passed and his weary mind barely had time to issue a warning for him to run. He followed the instruction to the letter realizing that he would have possibly been putting Rae in great danger had he stayed or lingered longer than necessary.
The agony was intense and he nearly doubled over when he reached the lobby passing by tourists too preoccupied by their shifting fortunes at the games to see him slip out the back exit. He burst into the alley and kept running, his lungs burning and his nostrils flaring as the formation of what appeared to have been a snout formed where his nose use to be. More pain as his muscles contorted and elongated as he rushed passed the alley and into the darkness that beckoned.
Far from the line of sight of any man, woman, or child, Duko collapsed onto the ground as his flesh was ripped from his rapidly shifting bones as they expanded and contorted into something grotesque and vile in appearance. The pain was immeasurable as his screams and growls filled the night as Luna's song beckoned in the distance. His cock grew larger and became tucked into a thick pouch of flesh and dark fur as his testicles shifted becoming larger and more prominent. His arms stretched and packed on more muscle, his abdomen stretched as well as his spine increasing his already towering height while his hands shifted into razor sharp claws that sliced through the flesh to reveal their terrible appeal.
Duko sprouted a tail, a large sweeping thing that came from the fused portion of his tailbone and flickered via the unleashed nerve endings that caused it to wag behind him. Thick coating of saliva dripped from his powerful canine like jaws as his whimpering in the wake of the pain became the only sound aside from his growing bones and brutally stretched skin echoed in the distance.
The pulsing of his cock, which slipped from the thick fur pouch between his legs was extended some revealing the slick pinkness that dripped expelled seed yellow in color and possibly quite potent. An aggressive howl rumbled from deep within the throat of the now visible creature, a beast clad in black fur with keen triangle like ears that stood at the top of his head and a massive torso double the size of the one he had as a mere man. His legs were bent at the knee powerful and capable of running vast distances should the need arise.
The mind of the creature had gone from screaming for the need to run to the calling of a base desire long dormant within the confines of the man whom had not known of his truly terrifying nature.
Blood.
His eyes shifted from the recognizable dark blue hue to the deep glow of bright red that signaled the onset of a deep and ruthless blood lust increased by the innate desire for conquest via by force or sexual gratification when unleashed via the light of the full moon. The coppery scent of blood filled the flaring black nostrils of the fiend as more saliva dripped from it's largemouth soaking the ground in it's slickness.
The creature had not been one to be controlled despite the valiant attempts of the fleshy prison to hold it. It could smell the weakness of the mortals that surrounded it, the fear that coursed through them was intoxicating in it of itself and the thrill of the chase only made the beast that much more excited to be out into the world once more.
The mortal had been powerless to stop it this time, the chase was on, the hunt was at hand and the howl that filled the night sent waves of terror through the people whom had been unfortunate enough to have heard it.
It was free at last.
Free to hunt.
Free to destroy.
Free to spill the blood of the weak that crossed it's path.
The black furred fiend took off toward the more populated areas of the desert town, itching for a fight and a meal alike .

The Penthouse Suite, The Silverwire Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada....
Rae awoke in the middle of the night to find that Duke had not been beside her. She'd been asleep for quite some time, but knew he'd been beside her when she felt the warmth of his body against hers. She'd still been exhausted from the emotional aspects of the previous day when those strange men came to assault him and he'd done his best to comfort her as she attempted to get some rest. The coolness on his side of the bed indicated that he'd been gone for a while as his pillow and side of the bedding remained a mess. At first she attempted to reason that he'd gone to the bathroom and that she didn't have anything to worry about, but there wasn't a sound coming from behind the door nor the familiar scent of his cologne or natural musk when she concentrated hard enough to notice it.
Duke had definitely taken off, but she saw no sign of him having put on any clothes. Rae panicked as she recalled something similar happening when the thugs had him out in the hall but when she opened the door she saw only the empty hallway. Unsure of what direction he might have gone in, but desperate to find him nonetheless, she quickly got dressed and rushed out the door after stuffing the key card into her back pocket determined to find Duke before he got hurt or worse, hurt someone else.

Unknown Location, Las Vegas, Nevada....
Duko awoke with a pounding head and the taste of blood on his tongue as he rolled onto his side feeling the effects of having run a marathon as his muscles ached and his bones seemed quite sore from whatever happened to him the previous few hours. He was stark naked and shivering a bit from the cold and the odd level of moisture that surrounded him. He could see only darkness and wondered what happened that lead him to such a place. His muscles felt heavy and his vision blurred as he rolled onto his knees feeling the exposed flesh of his cock brush against the cold stone ground. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt as if there were certain urges that were taking over due to his apparent affliction and he had not the experience nor the willpower to combat them.
He thought he was losing his mind when he caught the familiar scent of his wife Rae amid the darkness and once more passed out unable to get over his headache.
