storyline[]
Anna, the heroine, has a brother who is later turned into The Wolf Man. In the begining, they are trying to kill an Alpha Wolf. During the fight, the Alpha chases Anna. She is cornered, and when the Alpha goes to bite her, her brother, Velkan shoots the beast but they both fall off a cliff. It was assumed that he died. Later that night, it is revealed that Velkan did survive, but only because he was bitten by the Alpha. He now carries the power of the werewolf and becomes Dracula's slave.
Towards the middle of the story, Van Helsing himself is bitten by Velkan, The Wolf Man. Velkan is killed by Van Helsing, but passed on his powers to Van Helsing. Even before he changes, Van Helsing has all his werewolf powers and uses them while he's in human form. He changes into a werewolf during his fight with Dracula. Van Helsing kills Dracula by biting him in the neck.
