"There's something else going on here." you think as you run your fingers through your growing beard. "Hormones alone can't make hair grow this fast."
As you contemplate this, looking at your reflection in the mirror Pops comes into the bathroom behind you.
"So, by now you've probably guessed that your changes aren't just because of the homones." He says offering you a cigar as he puffs on his own.
You take it from him and ask, "What is it then?" You bite off the end, spit it into the toilet and Pops lights it up for you.
"Simple really," Pops says and taks a long draw on his cigar, "You're Grizz's son now. The blood sharing ceremony brought you into the family." Pops says smiling at you, "You're becoming a bear like the rest of us hairy bikers, but you're now a little more bear than man now, if you get my meaning."
Your eyes go wide as you realize what Pops means and he chuckles.
"Yep, you're a werebear just like Bull, Snake, Tiger and Wolf and you've become my grandson since Grizz shared his blood with you." Pops says.
You take a draw on your cigar and look at yourself again in the mirror. Pops scratches at his thick grey beard and then pats you on the shoulder.
"Come on down to dinner Gus. You're daddy's home and so is your brother Richie. I'm sure you, Richie and Grizz have much to talk about.
