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 business was called Miller’s Construction. We asked for Mister Miller. The guy up front hollered, “Lou, people asking for you.”


I guessed they didn’t believe in intercoms. In any case, an older man soon walked out, a bit hunched over, gray. “Yeah, whaddaya want?”


It was him! I recognized the voice from the phone! “We called a little while ago, Mister Miller.”


His face noticeably blanched. I mean, he was pretty white to begin with, but now he was downright ghostly. I could hear his heartrate spike up, too. Bingo. “I already told you, wasn’t us that did that job you mentioned.”


“Can we talk privately, Mister Miller?” asked Doug in a voice far sweeter and politer than I was accustomed to. Which is to say, I’d never heard it before.


Lou’s face scrunched up, but he motioned with his finger for us to follow him into his office. “Thank you for seeing us,” I said as we sat down in cracked leather seats that had seen far better times—probably during the Truman administration.
