April 21st 1984, Hero, a 6'8", golden furred wolf is again in one of his drunken stupors, his female mate, Kera, a 5'8", light grey furred wolf, was lying down as she was very heavily pregnant, leaving a 4'5" five year old pitch black furred male wolf, Wolverine, to look after his mother.

Both Wolverine and Kera had over the last couple of years, been heavily abused by Hero, why did Kera not take Wolverine away from her abusive mate?, where would she go?, no one wanted to be saddled with a beaten female and an equally beaten male pup. Wolverine, though he was still a pup, was beginning to turn his fear of his father into pure hatred, he knew that one day soon he would have to stand his ground and face his father down, but right now, he was just a pup and not a very strong one at that, he would just have to continue to look after his pregnant mother.

April 24th 1984, in one of his few moments of sobriety, Hero was playing the dutiful mate by caring for Kera, he had told Wolverine to get some sleep as he would need it to get himself through the next few days. Wolverine curled himself into a ball and slipped into a fitful, uncomfortable sleep, though he needed a good sleep, he also knew that Hero could fall back into his drunken stupor at any time, so he would need to be ready to take over at a moment’s notice. Hero managed to stay sober for a few days, during which time he would happily play with Wolverine and then head back to check on his mate.

April 26th 1984, It is the very early hours of the morning, Wolverine is sleeping, Hero is standing watch over Kera, suddenly, Kera doubles over in pain, her waters break, and she begins her contractions, she knew now that her new pup was about to make its way into the world. Four hours of painful labour later and a small male wolf pup is born, Hero now looks down at Kera with a loving smile on his muzzle and speaks.

"Oh Kera, he is beautiful, so tiny, so weak, but he's all ours, what are we going to call him?"

By now Wolverine is at full attention, standing by his father, and speaks.

"Father, if I may, how about Wolfern? after all he is my baby brother. It would be so cool to have similar names"

Hero looks at his son in a wistful way, and ponders the name of the newborn.

"Wolfern, Wolfern, Wolfern Steel, yes I like that, what do you think Kera?"

"I think Wolfern is a superb name, well done Wolverine, from here on in he will be known to all who meet him as Wolfern Steel. Welcome into the world little Wolfern, Wolfern and Wolverine, what an absolutely divine double act, you will both be wolves to be reckoned with, one day my sons, you will both be Alpha's and have packs all of your own"

May 1st 1984, After yet another sleepless night, thanks to a certain newborn pup, Hero heads back down to the bottom of a bottle, if only he could live up to his given name and be the hero he started out to be all would be well, but alas, Hero was drunk again, and the cocktail of booze + tiredness = one very abusive wolf, and that is how it would remain for a long time to come.

Time moves on, it is now some six years down the line, Wolfern has gained a new nickname through being friends with a few other pups, the nickname of Wolfie. In secret, he loves the nickname, and is only too glad that all the wolves around use it, since ever since he could talk, he'd hated the name Wolfern. In fact the only two wolves, who still use his full name, are his parents.

April 26th 1990, a very special day for Wolfie, it is his sixth birthday; it would also be the day that he would remember for the rest of his life. Wolfie had been outside the modest pack home, which as with most wolves was a cave, he was clothed in some brand new items of clothing that his parents had given him for his birthday, he was now playing with some of the other pups, and as with all young pups or humans alike, he accidentally tripped and fell to his knees.

His knees where grazed but that was not the worst of it, he had ruined his brand new pair of pants, he began to cry and limped into the packs den, his mother took pity on the pup.

"Sssh, little one, its okay, I will take care of your grazed knee, and then I will repair the tare in your pants"

Kera placed a loving kiss upon the pups forehead, then suddenly Hero burst in, completely out of his skull with drink, he noticed the hole in Wolfie's new pants, he went ballistic, first striking Wolfie hard across the muzzle, then striking Kera even harder across her muzzle, the force of the slap sent her reeling towards the wall of the cave, her head hit the solid wall, by now Wolfie was crying and screaming at his father.

An eleven year old Wolverine could hear all the commotion and ran into the room, the sight that met the wolf's eyes was too much for him to take, his mother lying motionless on the floor, his six year old brother screaming and in floods of tears he turned to Hero.

"You did this, I am going to make you so sorry that you ever turned to drink and began abusing us"

With that, Wolverine charged at his father, his right paw balled up into a fist, he raised his paw and landed a spectacular upper cut to his father’s muzzle, unfortunately it did not faze his father. Hero landed a huge slap to Wolverine's face sending him to the floor, but what Hero hadn't noticed was that a neighbouring packs Alpha named Julius Thorpe, had also heard what was going on and stood in the entranceway of the cave, just in time to see Hero strike Wolverine and watch the wolf hit the floor. Julius now slowly and calmly walked over to Wolfie and spoke.

"Wolfie, do me a favour, help your brother over to my packs cave, I will bring your mother with me"

Without question, Wolfie began to wipe away his tears and slowly got up from his seat and helped Wolverine back to his footpaws, then led the dazed wolf out of the cave and into Julius's pack cave. With the two wolves now out of sight, Julius looked at Hero with hate in his eyes and spoke.

"You disgust me, you give us wolves a bad name, okay Mr. Big wolf, you want to hit someone, hit me, and see how far it gets you, I have stood by for far too long allowing you to abuse your loving family, I will stand by and watch no longer, you think that you are wolf enough to take on an Alpha like me, then go ahead, give me your best shot, but make sure that I stay down, because if I ever get back up, I promise you this, I will bury you"

Hero did indeed take a lunge at Julius, though it was close to Hero's full power punch and it connected quite nicely to the left side of Julius's face, unfortunately for Hero, it was not enough to make Julius even stumble. Julius stood there for a couple of seconds rubbing the side of his face, then without another word he tensed all of his left arm muscles, balled up his left fist, pulled his arm right back and let fly, sending Hero flying to the floor and out cold.

Julius now gently lifted Kera's body from the floor and headed from the cave towards his own to hopefully repair Kera's injuries and help look after two very frightened pups.
