Origin of the Wolf
A Toby Dunbar Story

Toby Dunbar has lived through violence before.
But nothing prepares him for the dreams.

Night after night, he watches a frightened little boy hiding beneath a bed. He watches that same boy grow colder, quieter, and more dangerous until he becomes the man the streets will one day call Rex the Wolf.

The problem is...

Toby has never lived this life.

As the dreams grow more vivid, Toby begins questioning his own memories while a series of brutal murders tears through Chicago. Every answer points toward a man everyone believes is dead.
Years earlier, inside Cook County Jail, Toby made one decision that saved another inmate named Hobo, and unknowingly changed his own life forever.

Now Detective Angela Danner is reopening the case she thought she had closed.

Hobo is haunted by a face he cannot forget.
Billy Jr. remembers a voice no one can explain.

And somewhere in the darkness, someone is carefully building a story designed to turn Toby into the monster everyone believes they see.

Origin of the Wolf is a haunting psychological crime thriller about trauma, obsession, mistaken identity, and the terrible cost of believing the wrong story.

Sometimes the most dangerous monsters...

are the ones hiding behind the truth.

5 out of 5 stars Monster in human form the wolf Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2026 Format: Kindle The original of the wolf,the name of this book suggests supernatural hairy 4 legged monster wolf,but the interesting twist is this isn't a supernatural book there is no hairy 4 legged creature just a man nickname the wolf. The story start off with this man Toby having these continuous dreams of a small boy who lock emotions and one could say evil and lock remorse.In the first dream we learn of this little boy taking the life of all pets around his house the dog lucky,the fishes and the birds which hurt his family deeply.The story continues with his father putting him out and how he come about the name wolf. He was always in the dark just watching and observing with out saying anything and because of his eyes. The origin of the wolf tells you about monster in human form atleast that is what Rex (wolf) was to me he prey on the weak like Hobo at Cook County jail.The story get more interesting when Toby arrive and notice that someone is hurting Howard. This was an amazing story about a series murderer a monster the wolf Rex and Toby seeing it all unfold in his dream.
