Lycurgus 1.0
Izzy Lycurgus is new in Bridgeport. To her name, she has a little patch of land and a little bit of money from her family to start out with. People have succeeded with less than this, but Izzy also has a problem.
A furry problem. Her alpha was only too happy to give her the boot to get started somewhere else, since he wasn't nearly ready to be challenged for leadership by a 90 pound girl. The city life isn't really a werewolf's first choice, but Izzy isn't going to let a silly thing like that get in the way.
After purchasing a lot, Izzy had enough left over for an outhouse. Everything else, she does outside - which, as a wolf, she doesn't object to on principle. Still, a kitchen might be nice.
One of Izzy's first wishes was to get a job in the athletic career. Since she's flat broke, she hustles right over to the sports center to apply.
No way Izzy's going to look out of shape on her first day of work - as soon as she gets hired, it's right to the gym to work on that athletic skill.
...what? She can multitask. It's first generation day one, she should be pregnant by now for fuck's sake.
Izzy isn't an idiot. She's read too many dumb werewolf romances to think it's a good idea to let the relationship get too far before revealing her furry side. Barry is surprisingly okay with his new friend wolfing out the second time they meet.
I had no idea other werewolves randomly popped up on the full moon. There Izzy was, innocently getting out of the car, protesting that it certainly wasn't her fur on the seat, and then POOF. Second werewolf.
With her first full moon in the city safely under her belt, Izzy decides it's time to start hooking that mate, and so she invites Barry over on a date.
Izzy: Look, I know dating a werewolf may be weird, and a little scary, but I promise that I'm always going to take care of you. Nothing's going to hurt you while I'm here.
Barry doesn't seem to be frightened at all.
Everyone knows that supernatural romances move quickly, okay?
And in true legacy fashion, they have a small private wedding on the bare lawn by the light of the moon, and Barry is officially Izzy's bitch mate.
With a hot-headed alpha female like Izzy in the house, the honeymoon doesn't last long.
Izzy: Oh my fucking god, I can't believe you want to quit your job to become a bartender. We can't afford that! We have to have babies, Barry, babies.
Barry: Maybe if you weren't so busy running around on all fours all the time, we'd have time for me to do what I want!
Izzy: Let's see how you feel about running around on all fours now, you ass!
Neither of them want to talk about the fight, Izzy because she lost control, and Barry because he just got his ass kicked by a 90 pound girl. For the next couple of days, they sleep together and share a house, but not a word was spoken.
Izzy comes home two nights later from partying with her celebrity boss (and becoming a celebrity herself; more on that later) to see that her mate looks a little bit different.
She likes it. A lot.
Izzy: Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have eaten that pizza that got left out on the counter for two days, but it just looked so good and I was starving after the make up woohoo...
Not sure it was the pizza, Izzy, but you just go right on thinking what you want.
Nope, not the pizza.
The worst part of pregnancy for Izzy is that she can't transform into a wolf. For an alpha that spends most of her time at home in wolf form, it's a hard sacrifice to make.
Having the alpha stuck as a human isn't pleasant for her mate, either.
Barry: Fine, I guess I'll go hunting on my own. Again.
Izzy: Kiss it, bitch, being knocked up is a full time job.
As the time draws closer, it starts feeling more real for Izzy and Barry. Soon, they won't be a pack of two anymore.
Uh, Izzy, should you really be drinking that right now?
Izzy: Uh, yeah. They're paying me $1000 to come drink a $16 drink in their crummy bar, and I get to be more famous for the effort. Do you know how expensive this whole kids thing is?
At least the money from her celebrity appearance will pay for the hospital bills, because the pup is on the way!
