A week later the team has started off figuring out some plans to deal with information gathered by Null.

The Artemis deals with their Legacy being tarnished while Void gets a visit from an old friend. Null heads deeper into AEON to help Holo while Holo is quarantined in his Sanctuary. Hopefully a vaccine is soon coming.

Garrett Heath is the pack Alpha; recently made redundant from a steel mill, he is determined to forge a better future for the pack, and is drawn by the opportunities of the burgeoning Northern Soul club scene. Jax is his right-hand man and the pack Fixer; from a mining family, he is connected in both the human and werewolf worlds, and makes a living skirting the law. Jo Hammond is a Prodigal; she left the pack when her secret was discovered, and has been focusing on her nursing job until recent events drew her back. Finally, Fran Flynn is still a Cub, the newest member of the pack; the events of her turning shrouded in mystery, she is looking to find a place with the pack.

Bite Marks: Northern Souls (Session 1 of 3)
