After he has been abandoned by his parents at only eight years old, Teddy was found by a mysterious man and brought into Cambodda, one of the biggest mafias into the shifters' world. Now at fourteen years old, shifting for the first time and realizing his inner animal is a bear, the boy is forced into training to become a bodyguard...and no mere bodyguard, the one supposed to protect the new leader of the Cambodda clan... Sirius Yahontov. Shifters don't find their inner animals until they reach the age of fourteen. Being adopted by the leader of Cambodda clan when he was only seven, Sirius has never known what kind of shifters his parents were and what his animal was supposed to be. So when he finds out he is a Neko, it's plain obvious he is going to be ashamed, terrified and enraged. Especially when he finds out the boy he used to bully has a bear as an inner animal. So what better way of venting his frustration than starting to make Teddy's life a living hell? No weakling is supposed to have such a powerful inner animal anyways. Sirius will make sure to show Teddy who the dominant really is.
