The next morning, the band arrived bleary-eyed and still buzzed from Cassie\u2019s accidental takeover at the venue. They\u2019d been booked for a live on-air interview at a local alt-rock radio station\u2014Z95.1 The Foxhole<\/strong>\u2014known less for thoughtful music coverage and more for fart soundboards, obnoxious jingles, and DJs with names like “Dingo” and “The Badger.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feral Eclipse stepped into the cramped glass-walled studio at 7:45 a.m., greeted by the overpowering smell of coffee, artificial maple syrup, and whatever unholy body spray Dingo wore like war paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYOOOOO!\u201d Dingo howled, punching the \u201cAIR HORN\u201d button twice. \u201cIt\u2019s your boys\u2014and girls\u2014and wolves\u2014from the band that made last night explode harder than a diet soda in a dryer! Say it loud\u2014it\u2019s FERAL ECLIIIIIPSE!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He mashed the soundboard again. Fart noise. Explosion. Goat scream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya blinked slowly. \u201cI already hate this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassie flopped into the interview couch, oversized sunglasses hiding the regret in her soul. \u201cI could still be sleeping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonah groaned, nursing an energy drink. \u201cI should<\/em> still be sleeping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel was the only one beaming, tail swishing lazily as he leaned into the mic. \u201cMorning, Foxhole!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dingo grinned. \u201cSo, uh\u2026 let\u2019s get into it. For those of you who don\u2019t know, Feral Eclipse is like\u2026 part human, part werewolf, part musical hurricane, am I right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Badger chimed in: \u201cAnd last night y\u2019all howled<\/em>. Literal howling! That\u2019s your gimmick, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thane leaned forward, eyebrows raised. \u201cIt\u2019s not a gimmick. It\u2019s just how we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dingo gave a wheezy laugh. \u201cSure, sure. But c\u2019mon \u2014 what\u2019s it really<\/em> like sharing a stage with a bunch of howling, barefoot, clawed-up werewolves?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a pause. A long one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya took off her sunglasses, locked eyes with Dingo, and said in her calmest, most terrifying voice:
\u201cLike standing in front of a speeding train made of teeth and distortion pedals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassie snorted. Jonah choked on his drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thane grinned just enough to show fang. Gabriel wagged a finger playfully. \u201cYou poked the wrong female, Dingo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interview spiraled from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were asked if the band hunted groupies under the full moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya responded by asking if Dingo hunted brain cells in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Badger wanted to know if Gabriel\u2019s claws helped him play bass better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel shrugged. \u201cHelps me open beer cans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thane was asked if his job as a tech manager was \u201cjust plugging stuff in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His audio cable was in his hand faster than a viper strike. \u201cWanna find out what this does if I wrap it around your mic?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonah was asked nothing, because he fell asleep mid-interview with his head on Cassie\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And by the time they wrapped, the station had exactly one usable clip: Gabriel laughing, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re a weird band, yeah. But we\u2019re real. We don\u2019t need fake howls or pre-recorded tracks. What you hear? That\u2019s us. Raw, sweaty, and sometimes covered in confetti, but it\u2019s us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Outside the studio, walking to the van<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya muttered, \u201cI should\u2019ve punched that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cassie shrugged. \u201cI would\u2019ve held him down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thane just rubbed his temples. \u201cNo more radio. Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabriel leaned over to him with a wicked grin.
\u201cBut what if the next one has a buffet<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
