Chap 1: The Awakening

Casius PoV

Casius Shaw, a young wolfblood with a unique ability to shift between human and wolf form, slowly opened his eyes. The room he found himself in was sterile and unfamiliar. Confusion and fear washed over him as he tried to piece together what had happened. His last memory was of his home engulfed in flames, his parents trapped inside. The pain of that loss still fresh in his heart.

As Casius sat up, he noticed the cold metal restraints on his wrists and ankles. Panic surged through him as he realized he was in some kind of experiment facility. The realization hit him like a punch to the gut. He was kidnapped, and no one knew. He's was alone. Fear tightly griped the young boys heart as he started to struggle against his restraints. But deep down he knew, all struggle was futile.

After what felt like hours of struggling against the chains, he slumped onto the floor as the Feeling helplessness and fear only intensified as his haggerd. Suddenly his head shout towards the door, hearing a pair of footsteps approached. The door slid open and a man and woman were in his sights. The woman had red flowing hair and piercing green eyes with square glasses. And the male with blonde hair and brown eyes. Both wearing clear white lab coats.

Casius: "Where am I." I Quietly not finding the strength to bring my voice to beyond a meek whisper.

The woman's eyes seem to flashed with excitement at the question as she spoke.

Woman: "welcome subject zero. To Urotect Facility. The future of wolfbloods everywhere. Where we strive to see what your kind can achieve when let's say…..exposed to outside forcess. You were lucky enough to be selected as our next test subject for project Apex." The more she spoke, the more dread I felt build up inside me as I began to tremble. But the woman thought nothing of it and glided across the room seemingly looking over vials of various coloured liquid.

Woman: "Mike, prep the sedative." She says as she stalked closer only stopping a few meters away. "Oh where are my manners? I'm doctor Mavis. Welcome to Apex." As she finished a sinister grin appeared on her face causing a shiver to run down my spine. Before I felt an all familiar pinch and my vision yet again descended to darkness.

Timeskip: 10 years

Sitting in the corner of a dark room

A figure with black pants and shirt can be seen. But that not his most imposing feature. Black sclera and pupil with glowing red iris that seems to be ecuding power and authority.

A lot has happened it the passsed years, and I'm a far cry from the person I was when I was taken to this facility. And the torturous experiments began.

My fist few years here, they found a way to brute force my frist wolf transformation. Something that was meant to naturally take place at teen maturity. I've lost count of the amount of serums they injected me with. One one which I under went recently. Was injected deep into my bones meant to increase both my bone and muscle density respectively and then thrown back into my cell. I remember sapzaming in pain for days before I finally stabilised. From that day I closed of myself from displaying any form

Of emotions.

It was then, that if I ever wanted what I craved to come to fruition I need to collect my strength. To gain new strength. So as the experiments increased, I honed my new brought enhancements with one thought in mind. Freedom. My strength, agility, flexibility, and senses took a massive leap from the normal wolfbloods. I wasn't to sure of just how much my speed increased, as me cell is far too small for any testing to be done on that account. But if my other improvements are anything to go by, I'm positive that it also increased. Too what level, I don't know.

Today is meant to be my final procedure before. Form what I've been hearing, They have figured grant a persudo wolf/human hybrid form. True "perfection" they called it. After this procedure I was the next morning I was meant to be taken to there sponsored branch Segolia. But I had other plans. My musing where cut short as Mavis stepped infront of my cage. A pitch black serum that seem to be bubbling.

Dr.Mavis: "My my Apex, how far you've come. I still remember when you still young a ripe, now look at you so full of promise." She stated as I just narrowed my eyes at her. She tossed the syringe gun onto my lap whilst I just looks her dead in the eyes.

Dr. Mavis: "now you know the drill, right into the nape of your neck. We wouldn't want Mike coming down to take a more brutal approach now would we?" I could see the twinkle in her dam eyes, at the mention of Mike and his methods. Looking down at the still bubbling serum. I picked i up and injected it into my neck. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5…. I waited but nothing seemed to be happening until I felt bones in my face shifting, I groaned in discomfort. Not used to the sensation as my felt my nose, high cheek bone, and jaw change until it finally settled and a released a low threatening growl as the glow in my eyes intensified.

Standing up I walked to my door of my cell and gripped it tight as 10 razor sharp claws emerged from my fingers and forcefully ripped off the door throwing it aside. Mavis took a step back in fear and shock I stalked in front of her wrapping my claws around her neck before ripping her throat at. Ignoring the woman choaking on her own blood. I walked to were the blow torch was and started to burn the lab down. Although my kind has a natural feel to fire. I felt nothing which doesn't surprise much with the horrors I've faced. As the fire started to expand, consuming oxygen greedily, the room and research was now gone.

No one else will go what I went threw I thought as I made my way up the stairs as I opened the door, what greeted my was surprisingly, a fully furnished house. "Not what I was expecting" I mumbled to myself. "Now, where Mike's" I humed clear range in my voice as I focussed my hearing and followed the faint sound of snoring. Making it upstairs. I quietly opened the door to see him sleeping. Stalking towards him quietly reaching his head side I viciously slice the tendons in his neck leaving him paralysed.

His eyes widened as he realised that he cannot move. "Interesting isn't it." I state as his eyes darted in my direction. "Here you were trying to creat a monster you could control, only to have it be the death of you. Pretty cliche if you ask me." I say as his eyes widen in fear. The playful tone in my voice vanishes and adopted a cold venomous one. "I remember you burning my family alive. It's only fair you are purged the same way" I state as I head towards the exist as he starts to scream curses at my reatreatinv figure. Noticing my attire would draw attention I grabbed some black jeans, shirt, and jack and found some boots that fit. The shirt was a bit tight as it clung to my athletic figure, exposing some muscles that one my age wouldn't normally have.

I Grabbed a dark grey leather jacket on the coat rack and made my way to the kitchen, maxing the open the oven doors I set the heat at max and pores kitchen oil all over the floor making a trail to the front door. Taking the electric lighter I got from the cabinet I lit it a threw it at the trail and disappeared into the the streets. A few seconds later an explosion could be heard with fire fighters rushing to the scene.

After walking a few blocks I stopped to take in my surroundings. It didn't take me long to realise I was still in Manchester. Taking a deep in a deep breath I revel in my aquired freedom.

Continuing my walk down the street. I realised I fantail have control of my life. And I wondered what's next. It took me a few minutes before an image of my childhood friend flashed in my mind "Maddy" i whispered to myself. A light smile graced my face for the first time in years, the feeling felt foreign to me. Hopefully she's still there I thought to myself as I set a destination in my mind.

It's time to return home.
