Staring at the bleeding corpse, Mike expected to feel some disgust or revulsion.
After all, it was only natural to have an averse reaction to such a bloody scene, or at most, indifference.
However, the reality was different.
His nose twitched as he stared at the corpse, and instead of aversion, he felt an odd hunger. His stomach growled as a weirdly appealing aroma, and he found himself salivating.
Right now, he didn't feel like he was staring at a mauled corpse, but a large buffet that was only for him.
Despite the 'hunter's high' he was currently feeling, Mike was still aware of and in control of his actions, so he could tell that his reaction was off. At least, by normal human standards.
The thing is Mike is a Lupine, and his preferences vary quite differently from normal human. His absurd appetite was already a clue to this, but this only solidified the fact.
