Steve grumbled under his breath. This was a dirtier war than he anticipated. He was searching through caves to eliminate Taliban insurgents

  A week ago, he and his team of marines lost a man, killed while fighting a freaking giant out of the Bible! The man stood over 12 feet tall, red hair with six fingers in each hand and two rows of teeth, like in the Bible!

  He emptied a whole clip of bullets together with his teammates before eventually killing the giant! But in debriefing, he was ordered to not speak of the encounter, after the military confiscated the giant's body and disappeared

  He hated this kind of cndestine stuff. Things like this made it difficult to trust his life to the government, who did these things. He wanted to know the truth what was going on

  Now, one week ter, he was out on another hunt with his team of marines, only with two strange new members joining the team to back them up!

  Something about them were strange. Their names were Becker and Szoboszi and the General on the base called them "mutts" in a dismissive manner. They seemed like good enough soldiers, they were fast, competent and followed orders. But something about them felt off.

  "Something feels wrong in this cave. It smells... like death" Becker suddenly said

  "Yeah, it feels off too" Steve said as he crouched and got his automatic weapon ready

  Suddenly, another giant charged forwards and pierced Lobieski with a long spear without him even having time to respond

  "Enemy attack! Fire!" Steve commanded and started unloading his weapon at the giant

  Another giant suddenly attacked him and Becker managed to shove him out of the way, both rolling on the ground

  Steve got up and he heard Becker grunting, as if in pain. He looked at him and he seemed to be ripping his own skin off!

  "Becker? Are you ok?" Steve asked

  But Becker howled and ripped his own skin off, revealing hairy flesh underneath. He looked at the other side of the cave and Szoboszi was doing the same, howling in pain

  They were werewolves! They completely transformed and ripped off their pants, and with supernatural speed, started attacking the giants!

  More giants had attacked their team by now, and the number of giants equaled the number of marines!

  "Fuck! There's too many of them" the Captain of the squad, Danvers yelled as he finished a clip in his gun

  It took the whole team to put down one giant, now there were 8 of them? The 10 marines were in the fight of their lives!

  Steve took a cymore, knowing it should not be thrown like is is doing, and threw it facing a giant

  The cymore exploded killing a giant as Becker jumped on another giant's back and started hacking with his cws

  Steve looked in amazement. Has the military always had werewolves? Apparently so, as the general referred to them as Mutts as if he knew what they were before this! And this mission... he suspected was to hunt these giants. What else did the military know? What next? Bigfoots and aliens?

  By now, 3 of the giants had been put down, but more than half his team had been killed already

  Steve gasped as a 15 foot spear pierced his stomach, thrown by a giant

  "No... I was supposed to marry Stacy when I got home.." Steve thought as he felt the spear exit his back!

  The spear pinned him to the ground, but he continued firing his weapon. He threw a grenade, killing another giant and the team medic, Ftts ran to him to give him some morphine

  Suddenly, Becker nded next to him and pushed Ftts away

  "Do you want to live?" Becker asked

  "Ngaaah! Yes... I want to live! I have Stacy to go back home to" Steve said, bearing the pain

  "Then I am sorry to do this to you" Becker said, and then bit Steve in the neck!

  Steve felt blood leave his body and felt weak, and Becker somehow had the strength to pull out the spear from Steve's body and threw it away

  Steve y on the ground while Becker growled and left to continue the fight

  Steve's consciousness went on and off, as he watched shadows move around fighting and gunshots fshing

  He couldn't even hear too well now, and everything was blurry as he was in a daze

  "Stacy" he muttered as he imagined her beautiful face and blonde hair, oh how he missed her. He felt sorry that he would never see her again

  Then, everything went bck!

  --

  Steve opened his eyes and felt his stomach. It did non hurt anymore! He looked at his wound. Besides the bloody hole in his shirt and his own blood all over himself, he was not harmed at all! His wounds were healed!

  "That's the werewolf healing ability. Congratutions. You will live" Becker said, back in human form

  "What happened?" Steve asked

  "You, me and Szoboszi, we are all that's left of our team! All three of us... werewolves" Becker said

  "Nobody else?" Steve asked, sitting up and looking around

  He saw Szoboszi, still in werewolf form eating a giant

  "Nope, all sughtered" Becker said

  "What now?" Steve asked

  "Now? The military will clean up the pce and we will be given orders not to reveal anything" Becker said

  "No, I mean... about me?" Steve asked

  "Oh... Like us, you will be able to transform at will. But on the night of a full moon, you will not be able to control the transformation. Fortunately, you will still be in full control of your body at all times" Becker said

  "Will... I be reported to the higher ups?" Steve asked

  "If you don't want to, we won't. We don't owe those bastards anything. But it will be impossible to hide on a full moon" Becker said

  "Then, don't tell them, please. I don't want to jeopardize my wedding" Steve said

  "I hope your wedding night is not on a full moon" Becker ughed
