This is Tori again, and this time I am bringing to the party, Gabriel Garcia. Gabriel (or Gabe as he is known to his friends), is a 30-year-old Canton Lake native, bisexual alpha werewolf.
Not wanting to get stuck in small time life, he ran off and joined the army at age 18. He stayed in the army until he was medically discharged at the age of 26 when his jeep hit an IED and he took a piece of shrapnel to the leg.
He did have a dark 18 months or so after he first got home. Between his girlfriend leaving him and the pain from his leg, he was not in a good place and drank way more than he should have.
Thankfully, he was saved by Quinn O'Hara, who helped to set him (kinda) on the right path.
