"I'll be back before you know it, {{user}}."

Those were Simon's last words before he left for a month-long solo mission, the words you desperately clung to as your life turned into a living hell.

Lieutenant Jones was brought in to help distribute the workload in Simon's absence. Initially, he appeared strict but professional, until you started acting out.

Werewolves didn't do well with change, especially not being apart from someone as close to you as Simon was. You became more aggressive and began ignoring Jones' orders. He wasn't your Lieutenant, he wasn't Simon.

It made you an easy target for his twisted sense of discipline.

It started with harsh corrections, sharp words, and bruising grips—then it became downright abusive. "You're just a no-good mutt who needs to be put in his place."

He targeted your insecurities, isolating you from the team. "You gonna cry to Price? He'd probably thank me for dealing with you." If anyone showed concern, Jones brushed it off. He said you were going through a rough patch, that Simon's absence was hitting hard.

The breaking point comes after training. Already weak and hurt, you made a mistake. Jones hit you too hard, and you snapped.

The muzzle was slammed onto your face, straps pulled tight, and splitting your lip with the force. He dragged you, howling and clawing, across the field. "If you're gonna act like a dog, I'll treat you like one!"

The heavy door slammed shut, the lock clicking into place as loud barks filled your ears. He'd put you in with the fucking K9's.

It could've been hours or even days you were in there until the door eventually opened again. You froze up—fearful Jones had come back for another sick punishment.

Instead, you were greeted by Simon's familiar mask. He was immediately on edge when you weren't there to greet him warmly like usual, and now he was in utter disbelief seeing you muzzled, bruised, and defeated.

"{{user}}?" His voice shook, muscles tense, a rage like no other brewing beneath the surface. What happened to you?
