I think much like how the jinn can sometimes have wildly different understandings of things- we see something similar with the weres. All species generally desire a means to reproduce- and weres are likely no exception. Mondjugen serve that function of reproduction- as well as ensuring clans don’t destabilize and fall apart. In that sense, taking the isolation approach is not only efficient, but avoids too many complications- Pete’s method is exactly what got Agent Al on their case- ironically if they had used this method as they are now Al probably would still be human. But it also means any mondjugens caught will…probably have very few chance of getting out without becoming weres. I also find it intriguing how it’s seen as saving mondjugen to make them were- but this is likely moreso about saving the clans from dying out- weres can’t really biologically reproduct and are thus left dependent on the mondjugen system- as we see with that app. It’s likely they can access date of birth records and calculate lunar cycles to determine targets. Which is very chilling as it implies weres are in positions of great power in human society- though weather they are good or not at their job can vary- Bush is typically seen as being not that great in the long run in terms of geopolitics, despite Pete’s adulation of him. Honestly a were trying to navigate human politics or organizations while keeping themselves moving is an intriguing thought experiment- we know there are weres in the church- amish weres…there’s a lot of intriguing elements at play in the woodwork. Ironically, as chilling as the isolation system is- it’s probably the least eerie way to ensure species survival and reduced collatoral damage. But for every mondjugen that is made, families are likely separated in the process, and there is absolutely a very dark aspect to their actions that doesn’t square up entirely with typical human actions- that is for sure. Weres may see this all as a sign they don’t really need to care about human morality at all- but well…as much as the weres are wolf- they are still men. The fact that they don’t want to fully become wolf all the time- seeing it as a horror and punishment- is proof of that. For all that they may see humanity as a curse and weakness…they know if there are no humans- they are no mondjugen- and no weres. For all that they desire to stay away from humans and see them as potentially lesser- they know full well that they are dependent on them. It’s likely historically places where humans were wiped out by war or plague likely saw werewolves needing to migrate or died out as they lost potential mondjugens to replace their numbers. They can proclaim their superiority over humans all day and night- and perhaps they are right in a way- but at the end of the day they likely know full well that they are dependent on humans- like it or not- in some form. Distancing themselves entirely from humans even as Ruiz wants will always remain a fantasy unless they escape into the woods- and they will never do that, save for a few of them. But then again…interacting only amongst themselves is as close as one can get to that. But even considering the less damaging aspects of isolating targets- there still is horror there. They may have no choice but do this in order to boost their numbers and well…survive the deadly games of werewolf politics and the like- but for those turned- great are the costs, and great is the fear. I may have said it before, but I honestly suspect Mahmood is praying two units of prayer any chance he can get and supplication- it’s a tradition done by those who feel they may die- and was done by some martyred figures in muslim history. Essentially, a dead man’s prayer. That and praying for his son, and fearing these clearly inhuman jinn who seek to enchant him with sihr (arabic for black magic- the word seems to derive from Ugraitic- from saharu- meaning malovelent magic- though the word sihr usually is associated with all magic- though historically that has varied, for wicked ends- reminding him of those who were kidnapped, tortured and killed in Lebanon during it’s civil war. For the weres this may be a usual process leading to a happy baptism- but for Mahmood this is likely his worst nigthmare made flesh- now he knows Ray’s warnings have come true- and Ray is too out of his mind to even talk to- and worry and fear for his son likely pervade him now. The fact this is all happening unbeknownst to Yousef is really what makes this horrifying. The coming full moon is not going to be pretty for him in the least. His worst fear is about to come to fruition. It’s a bit like watching an accident in slow motion.

I wonder if the King of the Prince's Father will also become a slave of the Orc Tuxnox. It seems clear why, the Orc saved the Prince's life, perhaps he reminds him of the Prince's Grandfather. And if so, then the Prince's Father will be even more similar, probably he will also want to turn the King into his sex slave).

Great line: "suck it like you mean it".

I love it, thank you Jack~!!

I've never used any substance, but I think which one to use first. This was a very original idea!

Sorry, but the mention of Alpha Lorraine made me flash on a pack of super bitchy Werewolf drag queens! “Oh grrrrrrul!” 🤣

Welcome back! Brilliant start, hoping you decide to continue it

Oh men, you stretch this out quite a lot... you're just as cruel as Will's father probably is!

Cool idea! I love this consensual enslavement part, and I can't wait to read more!

What is a familiar exactly ?
