8 months after the defeat of Wolfbane, Amoux and the pack were living in peace. It was quite the adventure Amoux and his family went on. They visited different dimensions, where they visited a world with anthropomorphic animals, Amoux meeting Kitsune, and finally defeating Amoux's evil counterpart with the help from his daughter, Luna. Lot has happened since then. Apart from the pack, Carla was once again pregnant and the gender is confirmed to be a boy. She was almost due. Chris was in his room, writing in his journal as Luna enters. "Hey Daddy." she said. "Luna, to what do I owe in your presence?" asked Chris. "Well, Mom is having her cravings again, more than last time. So I thought I come by and ask you something." said Luna. "Oh? And what might that be?" Chris asked. "What was it like when you were young? When you were told about the Mythic Wolf?" asked Luna as Chris chuckled. "Want to hear a story huh? Well alright then." he said as the two sat on the bed. "It all started a long time ago." said Chris.

*Many years ago*

In the city of New Urbem, we see a 16 year old Chris, practicing in the woods with his father Malcolm.  "I was 16 years old when I became my father's protege. We would go out to practice everyday." explained Chris. "Well done, Chris! You've been having successful training and I believe you are ready." said Malcolm. "Thanks Dad! I'm really excited!" said Chris. "Now Chris, the important thing is...if you want to protect the innocent, you must never and I mean NEVER, reveal your identity to anyone. Even those you care about. Because if ANYONE knows your identity, more lives will be at risk." said Malcolm as Chris nodded. "And that moment, I swore to protect the innocent. The very next day was when I met your mother." said Chris. Chris met Carla and the two became friends. "We hung out every chance we get and one day, I took her to meet your grandparents." said Chris. He and Carla arrived at Chris's house. "Mom! Dad! I'm home." he called out as Claudia and Malcolm approached. "Hi, sweetie. Oh! Who's your friend?" asked Claudia. "Mom, Dad, this is Carla. Carla, these are my parents." said Chris. "Hello." said Carla. "Nice to meet you, young lady." said Malcolm. "So how'd the two of you meet?" asked Claudia. "It's...a long story." said Chris. "Well, alright then. I just finished making dinner. So how about we talk more in the dining room?" said Claudia as they went in to eat. "So your mother explained to your granny how the two of us met and eventually she introduced her to your other granny and eventually your grandmothers became good friends. There were times when your mother was in danger. Throughout the time we've spent, I was in love with her. But if she knew my secret, then her life would be in serious dangers if my enemies knew of her." said Chris. "So when did you do your first crime fighting?" asked Luna. "Well, it was 3 years after my training. Because at the time, supers were illegal and my parents forbid me to fight crime during those 3 years for my safety. There were times where I was eager to fight but thankfully, I was patient." explained Chris. As 3 years go by, Chris was out in the city in his original suit with his weapon in hand. "My first criminals were a group of crooks robbing a bank." said Chris. As the cars were speeding off, Amoux gave chase. "I was so excited! Especially the fact that I can turn into a wolf." said Chris. Amoux then threw one of his axes at the car as it hits the tires, causing the car to crash. Amoux approached the car as the crooks got out with bags full of money. "Guys, guys, let's talk." said Amoux as he sheathes his staff. "Get him!" said Thug #1 as they charged but Amoux quickly knocks the two down with a couple of take down moves and takes the money. "You want some, buddy?" said Amoux as the thug growled as he charged towards him with a baton. Amoux then dropped the bags as he had a fist fight with the thug. 

*Flashback End*

Chris and Luna were grabbing food. "So I was fighting the thug and eventually defeated them all." said Chris. "Wow! So what happened next?" asked Luna. "After I handled the crooks, the cops arrived and at the time...supers were illegal. So I had to book it before the cops could get to me. When I got back, things were chill until Rick Dicker, the chairman of the NSA, arrived at our house." said Chris.
