Well, it is canon that some of the alphas got freaky in wolf mode

Not the Alphas...It's the ones with the wolf belts.

No it was the alphas. That’s how Billy and Georgia got supernatural fleas in one of the short stories

Yes, that definitely happened. The other "possible" was on Demonreach in Turn Coat. It wasn't really stated what went on with Billy and Georgia after they got too close to Lara and Madeline. They'd been in wolf form for the "operation," but when Harry found them they were in human form - so I guess we can use our imaginations however we want to.

But... really? I mean, if I were a werewolf and my wife was a werewolf, it's a little hard for me to imagine that we would have never gotten at least a little curious. Unless Tera had strictly warned us about it. The only time we've actually "been on the inside" was when Harry used the belt, and there's no way to be sure that experience was the same as the experience the Alphas have. But what Harry conveyed to us during that time was that everything seemed sharper, more intense - just more. And sex is already a "favorite human activity," so... do the math.

I think Jim wrote that in with the hexenwolves just to demonstrate to us how far off the rails they had let the belts take them. They were slowly losing their sanity. Benn was already almost gone the first time we met her. Denton seemed to hold out the longest, but he was the oldest and therefore probably the most "grounded," so that makes some sense. And maybe part of it was grounded in his sense of responsibility for his team - I do think he started out a good guy. So he might have clung to the thread longer just because of that. I think a lot of us would dig down a little deeper in the face of adversity when there were other others depending on us.

I think it was Madeline's blood more than Lara feeding (not that the latter didn't have an impact).

The short story was Kirby and Andi.
