Summary
Virgil Knight isn't interested in finding a 'forever family' or whatever kind of garbage the newest social worker likes to prattle at him. All he really wants to do is survive his last year in the system and make life a little extra difficult for all the greedy, penny-pinching wastrels who look at him and see a nice, fat government check.
But, when the system decides to place him with a 'Mr. Sanders', retired government employee and adopted father to three other former foster kids, he doesn't think much of it at first. After all, retired government employee could mean anything, probably the guy worked for the IRS or someth--
Oh. Mr. Sanders was a former Hunter, a member of the special ops division employed for the sole purpose of tracking down and killing werewolves?
Well, isn't that interesting. Because Virgil Knight just so happens to be a Wolf.
So much for surviving his last year.
NB: This story's now on permanent Hiatus. I've rewritten many aspects of it into a new story tagged with (Resurgent). You can find it by going to the series containing this story.

Summary
Virgil Knight was eleven years old when he saw his people murdered in front of him. He was thirteen when he invaded the human lands to avenge the innocent lives lost that day. He was almost fourteen when he fucked up and got placed in human 'foster care'.
After four years of hiding who and what he is, Virgil has learned to blend in with idiot humans pretty well. But he is Wolf still and as a Wolf, he has the responsibility to avenge the lives of his pack. Fortunately, social services prove useful for once in his life when they place him with a retired Hunter--the same bastard Virgil confronted the day his world crumbled to pieces all around him. 'Mr. Sanders' is a mild-mannered man who runs a very successful potion shop and plays adopted father to three other mages-in-the-making. He is a gentle, compassionate person willing to give a foster brat the chance at a better life.
But Virgil knows better. He's seen that mild-mannered man slaughter children in cold blood. He's had that gentle, compassionate person turn a gun on *him* once before. He knows exactly what Mr. Sanders really is.
And he'll stop at nothing to see the blood debt between them finally repaid. No matter who has to get hurt in the process.
