Aleksandra (Lex) and Aleksandar (Alek) Eiriksen are the product of an affair between a Werewolf Pack leader and Veela temptress. Adelina (their mother) seduced Eirik (their father) while his wife (Kari/Dorian’s Mother) was pregnant with his first child (Dorian). Adelina convinced Eirik to set aside his wife and child and marry her. Kari died in childbirth and then Dorian was sent to an orphanage. Adelina was the one to tell Eirik of Kari’s death, which seemed to clear the lust-filled haze he had for Adelina. She kept Dorian’s existence a secret since she was pregnant with her own children and did not want them set aside. Eirik never forgave himself or Adelina for abandoning his first wife.

When the twins were born, Eirik bit Alek giving him the werewolf “curse/blessing”. Adelina refused to let him bite Lex. The Veela blood proved dominant in both her children who seemed to take their fair looks from their mother. This caused some strife between Eirik and Alek, whom he thought was far too pretty and soft to be a worthy heir. Eirik was unnaturally hard on Alek, though he doted on Lex. Both children did their best not to anger their father, but Eirik was always angry at Alek. In some ways Alek was the recipient of Eirik’s anger over their mother’s seduction. While he blamed Adelina for seducing him and taking him away from his true love, he took his rage out on his son, often calling him inferior and throwing his first son, who would have been a better heir, in Alek’s face.

While his sister Lex was raised primarily by their mother, Alek was raised primarily by their father. They lived in the same home, but Eirik was insistent that Alek become a “real man” and prove his worthiness of the blessed bite he’d been given. Eirik would beat Alek whenever he failed to accomplish a task that, by all accounts, was far too advanced for Alek’s age or skill-set. Beatings were a common occurrence in Alek’s life, and while he hated his abusive father, he grew to resent his mother for not intervening, especially when the twins were younger. Once when they were children and their father was being particularly vicious toward Alek, Lex sent a curse her father’s way that nearly killed him. Adelina took blame for the curse as Eirik hadn’t seen his attacker preserving the Father-Daughter relationship, and creating an even further rift between their parents. Fortunately however, Eirik was not as hard on Alek…at least for a little while. Alek, on the other hand, became even more distant with his mother, viewing the whole event as her protecting Lex while she never protected Alek.

Four years ago their mother passed away, but not before revealing the truth to Lex, who in turn revealed the secret to Alek. They had a half-brother. Their father’s eldest son was alive, and adopted by a wizarding family. Alek forbade Lex from ever mentioning their brother to their father (he hadn’t needed to forbid it, as she was not so stupid as to confess anything of that nature to such a wretched man) and insisted he wanted nothing to do with their brother.

When Eirik went missing two years ago, Alek took over the pack and Lex decided to look for their elder brother against Alek’s wishes. Alek knows that his sister is pursuing a career as an Auror, and supports her even if he does not understand her motivations.
