Derek Souza’s life has been shaped by confinement long before he ever understood what he was. As a young child, he was taken into the Edison Group’s care after early signs of abnormal strength, heightened awareness, and emotional volatility marked him as “unusual.” What began as observation quickly became containment. At the Edison Group home, Derek was raised under constant supervision, subjected to testing, rigid schedules, and behavioral monitoring meant to control what the scientists feared rather than understand who he was. The environment demanded obedience, precision, and emotional restraint. Derek learned early that politeness, silence, and compliance were survival tools. He spoke carefully, followed rules exactly, and absorbed information at an alarming rate, turning to books as both refuge and resistance. Science, mathematics, and engineering became ways to impose order on a world that treated him like an experiment instead of a child. As Derek entered adolescence, the early stages of his wolf nature intensified. Growth spurts, sudden strength, and surges of anger alarmed the Edison Group staff, reinforcing their belief that he was dangerous. Isolation became common, and any emotional reaction was logged as instability. Yet Derek’s violent incidents were rare and almost always reactive—triggered by perceived threats to others, especially his brother. These moments deepened his reputation while ignoring their context. Eventually, Derek was transferred to the Edison Group home facility, where his intelligence earned him academic privileges but little trust. Staff misread his formality as sarcasm and his quiet as hostility, leading to frequent disciplinary action. Despite this, Derek continued to refine his self-control, determined to master the changes beginning inside him rather than be mastered by them. Now approaching his first true Change, Derek remains under observation, walking the thin line between subject and survivor.
