Werewolf AU: Details
In Dwayne's werewolf alternate universe, much of his life is the same, except for one thing: his younger brother, Aaron, always in trouble, found a new way to get himself in way over his head. Namely, on one of his numerous jobs gone bad, he got himself bit and infected.
After a few months, however, Aaron grew to love the change and the power it gave him, and that led to him deciding that the absolute best thing that he could do was to share the gift with his older brother. Aaron, in wolf form, sneaked up on Dwayne one night and mauled his leg, infecting him with the virus. A month later, when Dwayne started running a high fever and hallucinating on the full moon, Aaron showed up and explained what he had done, waxing ecstatic about the new opportunities that the Change would give them.
Dwayne...didn't quite see it that way. He managed to survive the first change, and get control of his wolf self after a struggle. The betrayal led to a catastrophic falling-out with his brother, however, ending with Aaron fleeing for his life, and Dwayne taking his own life in his hands to try and come to terms with now being a werewolf.
At 45, he's been a wolf for over ten years and has gotten used to the life. Generally mellow and mostly a lone wolf, he's content to keep company with his human lover, a recently-bitten were that he's helping adapt to the new life, and a handful of other fringe types that he feels comfortable and supported by.
