History
tw: drug abuse, abusive relationships
Born in Parker, Colorado. Mother was a nurse, father was an addict. Guess which one he took after most?
Not surprisingly, he was held back twice throughout his school journey. Only made it through the first three years of high school, and only really went to do drugs with his friends.
Eventually all his friends moved away.
Here is where things should have taken a nosedive. Where Patrick crashed and burned and turned into another washed up junkie on the streets.
But he met a werewolf.
He hadn’t known it then, of course. But he’d been consumed by her canine smile and the feral enigma that she was. He’d fallen in love with her.
She was the kind of person that liked to be pined for, and had a pack of lovers that she strung along with manipulation and sheer charm. Patrick followed, a sheep falling for the wolf in like clothing, until it was too late to run away when she turned her teeth on him.
Somehow, she convinced him that she hadn’t ruined his life. There were others like him who she had turned. And with the force of her will, she formed an official Pack.
Thus began a decade long entanglement. In some ways, it was better than ending up on the street. In most ways, it was just the same. A group of unhealthy people perpetuating each other's bad habits. Feral behavior that lent itself to much to the beasts that infected them. Taking turns fighting and fucking each other. A hive of debauchery, with its Queen feeding on the chaos.
He shouldn’t have been trusted to go out with Newton that night he came back to town. Something stupid was bound to happen. He let himself get too high and drunk, too comfortable.
So, really, no big surprise that he turned into a wolf and attacked his friend.
It was one of his Queen’s rules that no one could turn someone but her. She was not forgiving about it. Her solution was a fate that Patrick knew Newton didn’t deserve.
So he tried to hide it at first. Did what he could to help his friend through it well enough that they could part ways before she found out.
Naturally, she found out.
She was going to kill him. Going to make Patrick kill him. It wouldn’t have been right. Patrick couldn’t kill someone.
He killed her.
He didn’t mean to. Had lost control. Let his wolf take over. Let it use his body in a way he hadn’t even known was possible for anyone but her. Two legs, big, big teeth. The fight hadn’t been pretty, but he’d ended it.
The rest of the Pack had been there. All of them had let the fight happen without intervention. And when it was done, and their dead Queen’s body shifted back, they unanimously agreed to dispose of it without a trace.
Eating someone with four other people changes the way you look at them. He couldn’t meet anyone’s eye after that. None of them threatened to call the cops. None of them even seemed angry at him. To them, it had always been bound to happen. One of them would snap, and then they’d all be free.
They wanted to stick together, like some blood pact. Wanted him to take over. But Patrick couldn’t do it.
So he cut and ran. Wiped his phone and got a new number, ghosting everyone in his life, including Newton.
Determined not to crash and burn, he fled to Wyoming, and admitted himself to rehab.
Turns out, rehab is kind of impossible to do when you have to escape for one night a month. And way to expensive to keep getting kicked out of.
So he tried, for a long, long time. Got a job. Then another. And then another. Got clean, then fucked it up. Got clean again. Fucking it up again convinced him he needed to get the fuck out of Wyoming.
So he fled back south. Not back home. Never fucking back home. But somewhere familiar enough that he was pretty confident he could start fresh again.
