Story Guide

Episode 1

A London painter named Rory has spent twenty years putting a silver wolf on canvas — and now the wolf has come for him in the flesh. Wolfric, leader of the northern pack, corners Rory and calls him Liam, the lover he lost two decades ago. Rory insists he's someone else entirely, but Wolfric says he would recognize that scent even if Rory were nothing but ashes.

There's a bitter history here: Liam once swore he never wanted to see Wolfric again, not even in another life. Wolfric's answer is that he'd drag him back from hell itself. Rory just wants to run.

Episode 2

Rory keeps denying everything and threatens to call the police. Wolfric isn't impressed — human police can't handle the leader of the northern pack, and they certainly can't handle what's closing in. The Vatican's hounds have already picked up Rory's scent.

Wolfric tells him the hounds would drain every drop of his blood, nail him to a cross, and burn him to ash, because Rory is Liam reborn, the most powerful of their kind. He offers a cold choice: stay and die with the fanatics, or come with him. The order is clear — the painter must be taken alive.

Episode 3

Wolfric sets Rory's dislocated ankle, warning that if he doesn't fix it now, Rory won't walk tomorrow. Rory's protests don't move him. Wolfric notes that in his last life, Liam took three silver bullets without a sound — this version has gone soft.

Rory fires back that he is not Liam, not anyone's leader. He's a painter. He lives in London. He has his own life, and no one has the right to drag him into a manhunt. Wolfric's answer cuts deep: his mark is carved into Rory's soul, and Rory has spent twenty years painting his face.

Episode 4

Soaked and shivering, Rory is told to get out of his wet clothes before he catches fever. What follows is a raw, ugly clash — Rory shoves Wolfric off, calling him a pervert and worse, begging to be let go.

Wolfric doesn't flinch. He throws Liam's past back at him, claiming Rory once begged him for exactly this. When Rory keeps denying it, Wolfric says his body is far more honest than his mouth — that every time he comes near, Rory's body answers its master. Rory still swears he isn't him.

Will Rory keep fighting the pull, or is the wolf already right? Watch and find out.
