Emilie was on her way to the bakery to not only get pastries but to see her son. She wanted to be away from her husband since he was too busy as always. Especially since the fashion show was a distraction so that he can find the magical brooch.
"I hope he's there today," Emilie thought.
Once she arrived, she saw Marinette's parents opening the bakery, "Ah, our first customer" Tom said.
"Good morning. I hope I'm not interrupting anything" Emilie said.
"No, we were just opening," Sabine said.
"Mom?" Adrien saw his mother.
"Adrien?" Emilie walks up to him.
"What are you doing here?" Adrien asked.
"I've come to get some pastries and to see my boy," Emilie said.
"You're Adrien's mother?" Sabine was shocked.
"Yes, I'm Emilie Agreste" Emilie replied.
"Oh, reunion," Sabine said.
Felix walked in but was still wounded from last night and saw his aunt hugging his cousin.
"Aunt Emilie?" He spoke out.
"Felix?" Emilie gasped.
"What happened to you?!" Adrien noticed Felix's patched-up wounds.
"A werewolf fight last night" Felix let out a dog whine.
"Oh god!" Emilie and Adrien helped him up.
"You need some rest," Adrien said.
"Hold on. Aunt Emilie, what are you doing here?" Felix asked.
"I've come to see my son and the bakery. Yes, he told me after me and my husband arrived" Emilie said.
"I saw the fashion show but I'm very pissed that my uncle stole the magic wish years ago and it turned me into a werewolf" Felix growled.
"The same wish that made me a werecat," Adrien said.
"We were the sacrifice," Felix said.
"I really wish I could have stopped him from doing that," Emilie said sadly.
"But it did lead me and Felix to a different fate than isolation," Adrien said.
"We learned how to survive during these years," Felix said as they carried him upstairs.
"Relax Felix" Emilie brought Felix to the bed.
"Gabriel will pay for this. He's very inhuman and cares nothing" Felix growled.
"I agree with you but the town doesn't know we are the werecreatures. What we need is something to make him expose the truth without lying" Adrien said.
"That's not going to be easy," Emilie said.
Just then Marinette came upstairs, "Huh, Mrs. Agreste? I wasn't expecting you here" Marinette said.
"Ah, hello there," Emilie noticed her.
"I suppose Adrien told you everything that's been happening," Marinette said.
"Yes. He has. I'm so glad he and my nephew are alright" Emilie said.
"But Gabriel still got away with it for too long" Felix sits up, "The werewolf within me took away my father but my mother was scared of what I did"
(Flashback, 10 years ago)
That night when Felix realized that his uncle made that wish, Felix became the sacrifice and he screamed in agony, staring at the full moon. Fur started to rapidly grow on his body, his fingernails grew into claws and his teeth went sharp with a long wolf snout.
"AAAAAAAAAROOOOOOOO!!!!" He howled loudly.
"Who the hell is here?! Felix?!" Father barged in with a shotgun.
"AAAAAARGH! Father! Help me!" Felix uttered before he was fully transformed. His primal behavior made him aggressive that he can't control his rage.
"Felix! Don't come any closer!" His father aimed the gun at him.
"ROOOOAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!" Felix couldn't help himself and he shoved the furniture at him in aggression.
His father got knocked at the wall, dropping the shotgun. The young werewolf snarled as he approached. Felix tried to maintain control but he couldn't control his predatory behavior making him savage. He attacked his father brutally and killed him.
Amilie soon heard the noise and ran in horrified. Felix snapped out of it at what he has done. He whined like an actual wolf after seeing his mother looking terrified. Felix jumped out the window, never to be seen again as he was forced into exile from his home.
(End of flashback)
"My god" Marinette gasped.
"For years I wanted to get Justice on my uncle but never found him until now," Felix said.
"Felix, killing him won't heal your scars. What he did was wrong to wish for something that wasn't worth it. What he didn't realize is that having a family was more important than greed. If we weren't werecreatures, I wouldn't have met Marinette nor would you have met the girl you like" Adrien said.
"Adrien's right and you wouldn't have met Kagami," Marinette said.
"Gabriel never thought about the consequences and he never felt guilt for what he did to my son" Emilie wanted to put an end to her husband's madness.
"Sooner or later, he'll face justice," Adrien said to his mother.
"He's a very powerful man. No one will believe me or you" Emilie said.
"Tomorrow is the masquerade ball night. There's this ancient artifact that the gypsies have. Rumors say that it's from Egypt and it has the power to compel the truth without lying" Marinette said.
"Alright. If we could get our hands on it we might be able to expose him" Adrien said.
"Easier said than done. I'm a master of stealing" Felix said.
"That's how you survived for so long?" Adrien wondered.
"Stealing means surviving without having angry mobs chase a werewolf" Felix glared.
"Oh, then we're even since I stole food too," Adrien said.

A while later, Ladybug and her Werecat have stopped a bunch of thieves robbing the bank and are taken to the Palace of Justice to be either executed or punished. Cat Noir wanted to transform completely, and prove to Paris that he's not an evil monster but that moment isn't exactly the moment just yet.
"Well these crooks are gonna spend their lives in cells, Kitty" Ladybug said.
"Meow" Cat Noir rubbed his sides on her.
"Good kitty" She pets him between his ears.
"Well done heroes," The captain of the guards said.
"That feline with fur is like your animal sidekick," The lieutenant guard said.
"What can I say? Everyone needs an animal sidekick" Ladybug said.
"And very wild like a panther. I must go, milady" Cat Noir licked her backhand and jumps up to the roof.
"See you soon kitty cat" Ladybug waved.
He came back to the bakery through that window, shifting back to human form. He saw Félix coming back with something in his hand. Adrien guessed that he did steal the ancient artifact without getting caught by the guards.
"What's that?" He asked.
"TA-DA!" Felix showed the artifact.
"I can't believe you did that. You could've been a real sly fox. Literally" Adrien said.
"Says the werecat that can't become a cat burglar," Felix said.
"Yeah, and you're naked" Adrien looks down and up.
"I've been naked a lot of times whenever I transform my whole life" Felix walks to the bed to grab another spare of clothes.
"And you don't feel embarrassed?" Adrien asked.
"Nope" Felix puts on his pants, "Not so easy to steal clothes as a puppy"
"Well, I hope one day there are pants that expand to any size," Adrien said.
"I gotta warn you. This artifact is literally made of gold. Unless you have gloves" Felix puts on his shirt.
"I am wearing some already" Adrien showed his gloved hands.
"It may protect you but your bare skin won't. Just don't remove your gloves" Felix said.
"Got it," Adrien said while examining the artifact.
"From what I heard from the gypsies, they say that it only works on those who have lied. The relic of Maat compels the wearer to reveal the truth" Felix explained.
"Ah, then the plan is to put it around my father's neck to reveal the truth," Adrien said.
"Tomorrow is the masquerade. He's going there too. Your mom doesn't like this but a way to distract him" Felix said.
"Good idea. Milady got me my costume ready. You might need one as well" Adrien said.
"Already have" Felix gestures to the peacock-themed costume.
"What about your queen?" Adrien teased.
"Dragon theme," Felix said.
"You really want to see her again. You like Japanese" Adrien said.
"Yeah, I love their culture," Felix said.
"Hey boys. Ah, you got the artifact?" Marinette asked.
"Yep. I got it un-noticed and replaced it with a fake" Felix said.
"You sneaky son of a bitch" Adrien said.
"The fake one I put in its place is made of brass than gold," Felix said.
"Well done, puppy" Adrien patted his head.
"I am not a puppy" Felix smacked his hand away.
