It happened when Wolfhound was seventeen years old. At that time, he was in his third year of high school. By that time his mother and his stepfather had given birth to two more siblings, a boy and a girl each. They were respectively five and four years old.
The stepfather now had eight people in his family to feed, and he was getting overwhelmed. Wolfhound did not know what happened to his stepfather, but it was clear that his career was going nowhere. He never once got a promotion, and his yearly bonus was rather so-so. The yearly salary increase could no longer cover the living expense.
That was when the stepfather came to realize that he really did not have to feed the four brats that he did not sire. In fact, having raised them for ten years, the stepfather felt entitled to some gratitude.
Unknown to Wolfhound's mother, the stepfather started to make plans to get rid of the children and at the same time earn some money on the side.
