LV's POV

Voldemort watched surprised as Evie had somehow realized that he intended on introducing the Werecub to his Alpha and had tracked them down, only to actually shift and threaten the Werewolf Alpha as his massive body grew and pushed the Alpha towards the other side of the open space all the way to the trees. Before he could try to intervene he saw Veronique and Miss Black following, Veronique shifted as Miss Black grabbed her wand and both protected the Young Werewolf with their bodies, one as a dog and the other in her Human form.

"Darkest Lord's intended Mate, I suppose." Greyback growled and Evie actually hissed at him threateningly. "I'm not here to hurt Cub. I'm here to teach him that he isn't a monster like Lyall Lupin did. If he keeps refusing himself he'll turn into a Rogue Werewolf. He'll stop being able to think while in shifted-form and will not recognize even you. He'll strike at you and your fellow Animagi."

"Miss Peverell." Voldemort warned but a look from the Werewolf Alpha told him that the Natural Bearer was losing control of his shift. "Miss Peverell! ... Evie! ..." –Evie!– He called.

Evie looked back at Voldemort and then struggled to shift back until he was on the floor on his knees in Human form, naked. Voldemort took out his outing robe and approached, pulling it over the boy. All the while he gave the Werewolf a look, who turned his head away pointedly until the young bearer's body was hidden from sight. This was a sight meant for Voldemort only and Voldemort had also done his best to not look. Not until he had the permission to do so.

"I was taught that Werewolves can have Human Packs." Evie struggled to speak in human language barely slipping into Parseltongue, while Slippery popped in with the clothes that Evie had accidentally left behind when he had shifted into his Animagus-form, including his glasses.

Voldemort looked back at the Werecub and two Animagi, but Veronique had already shifted and didn't seem to have had the same issue as Evie. Evie couldn't be the best in everything after all. When he looked at Evie again he had already dressed himself and was returning him the robe back. Voldemort helped him to his feet as Greyback approached with his hands in the air.

"Human member Pack only works until certain point. Cub needs an Alpha to help him control himself."

"You tried to kill me as a child!" The Werecub snapped from his location behind Miss Black.

"I tried to turn you." Greyback argued. "Your father forced me away and sent me and my Pack to a Ministry of Magic's illegal facility to be experimented on!"

"What?" Veronique asked outraged.

"Lyall Lupin is anti-Creatures. Doesn't matter if they are killers or innocent. He tracks them down and if he can't capture them to be used as guinea pigs by the Ministry, he'll kill them on the spot." Greyback explained. Evie stared back at his two friends surprised and then again at Greyback, who took out his leather jacket and shirt, to show his scars from when his Wolf would try to take the wolf-poison ingredients from his body. "They tried to find out how to stop me from shifting. I was fed all types of drugs until your Mate rescued me last year."
