The boy was brought to a local orphanage while they attempted to locate his family. After arriving at the orphanage, one of the staff realized this was not an ordinary child, he was a werewolf pup. The staff member quickly reached out to the elders of the nearest pack. Howling Pines pack took the boy in, where he was quickly adopted by a young couple.

Around the time the boy reached age 10, Anthony grew tired of pretending to be his father and told the boy his true origins, much to the dismay of Veronica. Dominic didn’t take the news well, and began to question whether that had anything to do with the abuse he had been receiving from his father, why his parents were no longer caring for him, and why he ended up in such a situation instead.
