BACKGROUND.
For as long as he could remember, James was raised knowing he would be the next Lin to take over the alpha title, following in his fatherâs footsteps. That was all his father wanted, to continue in the Lin legacy and make sure the alpha spot remains with the Lins.
From a young age, James would follow his fatherâs every step when it comes to alpha duties. However, his dad didnât just care to have a son who knew how to get the job done, but a son who was built and shaped for that position and for him, that included methods of verbal abuse and violence that would shape James into a cold and strong future leader. He had also raised his son on the basis of loyalty and family.
Itâs no surprise James was obsessed with the idea of being alpha, of being powerful and respected and feared, just like his dad. He had been counting down the days till the wolf inside would wake up.
Eight years later came his sibling, Thea. It was clear from the beginning that his dad never wanted her, that he had only ever planned on having a son. And that had been the first time James realized that his dad was a hypocrite, not that it made him act out or anything, he still feared his dad and wanted to make him proud. It didnât help Thea and their mother had a tumultuous relationship too. However, the siblings were close from a very young age and James had been protective of her for as long as he could remember, taking on the role of both a brother and a parent for them.
In line with the traditions and rules of the Lichen pack, his werewolf curse had been triggered at age thirteen and after that James found a freedom and power heâd never experienced before.
A huge shock in Jamesâs life came at age twenty-nine, when Thea ran away suddenly. Not yet an alpha and unable to give out orders, he had practically begged his father to allow the pack to help him. Instead, James was met with a punch and a refusal, so he had set out and searched for Thea on his own. He lost count how many times he searched.
It was only a few weeks ago that a Crimson pack member found his sibling and dragged her back to NYC to his doorstep, and to say he had been keeping an eye on them since then would be an understatement, too scared heâd lose her again, having them stay with him and work at his bar.
PERSONALITY.
James possess all qualities that would make a good leader; however, he also has a ruthlessness and coldness in him that is the result of his fatherâs upbringing methods. Heâs more animal than human and prioritizes Thea and his pack above anything and anyone else. He has a hunger for power, and wants to make sure the Lichen pack is the strongest there is. He isnât scared of using cold blood to get what he wants. Very few people see a gentler, more easy going side to him, namely Thea and his beta.
