ALPHA WOLF: The Powerlifting Werewolf War Vet

https://chyoa.com/chapter/ALPHA-WOLF.1811124

Meet John Trent; a 40-something Oregon native who had it pretty rough growing up; being from a broken home and forced to watch helplessly as his lowlife alcoholic sheriff father would frequently berate and abuse both his mother Sarah and sister Tessa. School wasn't any better as John would also be bullied there too for being scrawny and cause the superheroes he idolized, wrote letters to, role-played as on the playground during recess and read fictional comics about were the ones that didn't kill while the majority of his peers were edgy 90s kids who thought that the gun wielding, self-serious anti-heroes that were popping up all over the place were the epitome of cool and what superheroes should be as apposed to paragons like Captain Thunder who seen as out-of-date relics. Time would be on John's side though as that trend died pretty quick.

When John was 13, his mother - taking the blame for Tess after she accidentally shattered her father's favorite beer glass so she wouldn't have to endure the full brunt of his anger - was accidentally killed by his father when he hit her a little to hard and her head hit the edge of the countertop, leading to severe head trauma and blood loss.

Not wanting to feel weak & helpless anymore, along with promising his mom at her funeral that he would protect Tess, John dedicated his free time to powerlifting.

This pursuit paid off as the next time his dad went to strike Tess, John intervened - putting the fear of God into him and ensuring that the old bastard would never raise a hand to either of them ever again!

He would continue to pursue powerlifting, winning multiple championships in the process, until he turned 18 and decided to pursue a new passion - serving his country as he would come of age just 1 day after 9/11.

John would go on to serve 3 tours in Afghanistan - going above and beyond the Call of Duty multiple times, earning him the nickname,"Alpha Wolf".

He declined going back for a 4th tour, instead deciding to join the Navy SEALS which he did for a couple of years before finally deciding to go back to civilian life.

Upon returning to Oregon, John would reunite with Tessa who was now the single mother to a smockin' hot 18 year old daughter named Michelle.

To celebrate John's homecoming, they along with a couple friends went camping in the woods when later that night under a bright full moon, they were attacked by a mysterious beast that turned out to be a werewolf!

Despite being monsters, Lycanthropes aren't inherently evil but rather chaotic good soldiers of God with Red Riding Hood - the first Lycanth - being the leader of the pack. Their primary purpose is to destroy the vampires and all other unholy/ungodly evils that make humanity fear the night.

Like everyone though, werewolves have free-will and can choose to be one of those ungodly evils that make humanity fear the night. It's rare as the protector instinct is much higher in Lycanthropes compared to regular humans, but there are exceptions. This werewolf being one of them as it seemed to have a particular interest in the girls.

John - knowing full well that it was basically suicide - fought hard to give them a chance to escape, but it would ultimately end up overpowering and nearly killing him.

Despite his memory of the incident being fuzzy due to going in and out of consciousness, John remembered that the beast had bloodshot eyes that looked at him with contempt & malice as if they'd met before. Not only that, but both its fur and breath smelled like hard liquor. Not just any hard liquor, but a specific brand that was his father's favorite.

TBF, they had been drinking pretty heavily that night and the ordeal did unlock some repressed childhood memories, so it was probably just that.

Right...?

When he awoke in the hospital from a two day coma (during which he dreamt about nightclubbing goth girls, red hooded Romanian she-wolves, brief flashes of future events, etc.), not only was he a lycanthrope himself now, but he learned the heartbreaking news that his baby sister - along with almost everyone else - was dead!

There was some good news thankfully as Michelle was still alive due to her silver choker as well as finding a tall patch of wolfsbane to hide in where she stayed until the sun came up.

While some non-pure bred Lycanthropes find taming the wolf half to be a difficult challenge that can often take years (that is of course if they're not weak willed and don't kill themselves first so that they don't have to endure the painful agony of a second transformation), John was able to gain full control of himself the night of his very first transformation due to sheer force of will!

Now every full moon, John becomes ALPHA WOLF! The powerlifting, aura farming, werewolf superhero war vet who's also a devoted uncle/legal guardian to the only living member of his immediate family who isn't dead to him, and is also the one whose almost always got his six...ty-nine (but mostly his six)!
