Lucas has a typical life -- apart from being abandoned as a baby, raised by wolves, and having super powers. Still, inside, he feels like two people, both vying for control of himself. He's a superhero and a nerdy college freshman. He's both feral and tame. He wants to do good in the world and, at the same time, he wants to do nothing. And most of all, he wants to find his birth parents.<br><br>In this comedic tale of romance, mystery, and adventure, our hero is joined by his hunky boyfriend, his acerbic boss, an uptight college science professor, and his ex-boyfriend/once crime-fighting partner -- not to mention a whole pack of wolves -- to help foil his nemesis and uncover the secrets of his past to save his future.

The nurse lady, a woman named Joan, sat with me throughout. She started to teach me her language, dressed me in clothes, cut my hair and brushed my teeth and showed me where to shit and pee. Turns out, the corner of the living room wasn’t the best place for either. Go figure.


Time went by. My parents were never found. I learned English at a rapid rate—superhero, remember? The press stopped dropping by. The pokers and prodders stopped poking and prodding. Joan and her husband, Brett, didn’t have any children. Fate, yet again.


I called my new mommy Maude, for a time. She never understood why. I could never explain why. It just felt right, comforting.
