Adrien thought that he should go back to that mansion since he'll get sick out there in this abandoned building. He didn't have much of a choice but his curse is still under control, mostly. He was counting on Ladybug to get rid of the curse.
He reached his mansion and rang the doorbell and the spycam came out, "It's me, father. Sheesh," He opened the door and found his father standing near the portrait.
"Don't ask. I'm still a Werecat. Ladybug will do everything she can to undo the curse" Adrien said.
"You stole my book again!" Gabriel yelled.
Adrien felt threatened and his nails turned to claws, "Enough! Stop! I just learned to control myself but you just had to be so….SELFISH!" His teeth turned to fangs and he made a huge jump to the stairs to his bedroom door, hissing angrily as he heads into his room.
"Damn it, he does not care one bit about my control over the werecat!" He shuts the doors.
"He's a monster, not you, kid. No offense" Plagg said.
"I know" Adrien sat on the couch clutching his head in frustration, "This was a bad idea to return here, Plagg. He just sees me as a monster than a son" Adrien said.
"Kid, it's not safe to survive in that filthy place. It's best to survive in a clean room like this one. You're still a kitten" Plagg said.
"Yeah but being a prisoner again without Ladybug's help," Adrien said.
"Aren't you forgetting that you need to stand up for yourself against your father? He's pulling your strings" Plagg complained.
"Until now, there won't be any strings to hold me," Adrien said.
Suddenly, the door exploded and there stood the Collector. Adrien was not surprised because his father probably doesn't know about anger issues. Didn't Ladybug give him a magical charm? Maybe a Mega Akuma broke it.
"Adrien! You stole my book! Where is it?!" Collector threw his frisbee tablet at his son but Adrien jumped out of the way as the tablet touched his TV and it disappeared.
"Father, stop this now! This isn't you! I don't know why that book is important to you! You barely even use it!" Adrien's nails extend to claws.
"Hand it over!" Collector yelled and threw another tablet.
Adrien ran on all fours to dodge it as it touches his things in his bedroom. He then jumped to his rock-climbing wall and then out of the room.
"Father's out of control!" Adrien thought.
He can't transform into Cat Noir or his father will figure out it's him. He didn't have time to think when the tablet nearly hit him but it touched the dining chair.
"Grrrr! Enough is enough! ARGH!" He ripped his shirt and transformed into the Werecat, "Don't…..make me…..hurt you!" He let out a loud roar and runs at the Collector.
"Stand down beast!" He avoided Werecat Adrien.
"MEEEEOOOOOWWWWWWW!" The beast roared but in his mind, he didn't want to hurt him but intimidate him, making him stand down and reject the Akuma.
"Stand down, my son!" Collector ordered him.
"Grrrrr!" Werecat Adrien growled as he approached him. He whacked the tablet against the wall and it broke, releasing the akuma and Collector transforming back to Gabriel.
"Adrien, stop! Don't!" Gabriel begged.
Werecat Adrien sniffed him to make sure he's not a threat again. He growled lowly and walked past him, still angry at him. For a father, he has no manners.
"Adrien!" Gabriel made him stop but the beast was in no mood to listen to him.
"Raaaaargh!" Werecat Adrien growled as he leaves him.
He walks on all fours to the kitchen to find a fish to eat. He opened the fridge and grabbed a large pike. He tore the head off the fish using his teeth and devoured it. His anger subsided and he slowly transforms back into a human but keeps his fangs on to tear the chunk of meat off.
"Rrrrrrgh… Food" He snarled as he ate.
Plagg phased through the wall to see if his owner is okay, "I suppose that you're still angry at him"
"Yeah, he thinks I still have the book," Adrien said.
"I've seen that book somewhere before but I can hardly remember," Plagg said while Adrien is too busy munching on his meal.
"I hope Ladybug knows what to do with it now that she found a way to do a ritual," Adrien said.
"Well, it might take days or weeks. In the meantime, you need to control that transformation before anger blinds your mind" Plagg said.
"Yeah you're right" Adrien nods.
Gabriel walks into the kitchen and Plagg goes to hide, "Adrien, are you still under control?" He asked.
"What do you want? Here to put a shock collar on me? Get me angry? Or trying to treat me like a savage animal?!" Adrien nearly let out a lion roar.
"You're a danger here, Adrien. You need to control yourself" Gabriel glared.
"I WAS under control but you threatened me. I came back because I thought I was under control but you screwed it up by getting akumatized and I almost got you killed. Don't blame me this time because the blame is on you. Not the Werecat, not me, it's you" Adrien said and munched on his meal.
"I suppose you're right for once. But as for now due to your condition, you need to stay here in the mansion until the curse is lifted" Gabriel said.
"All I know is Ladybug finds a solution," Adrien said.
"If she fails, you will never set foot outside this mansion" Gabriel glared.
"If that's the case, so be it" Adrien sighs.

Much later, Ladybug came and knocked on Adrien's window. Someone that Adrien needs to feel better since that incident.
"Ladybug? Oh, thank goodness you came" Adrien opens the windows.
"I just hope your dad isn't being too hard on you" Ladybug came inside.
"Just before you arrived, he became the Collector again out of anger for the book I stole to let you find a way to cure me" Adrien explained.
"Collector?! Where is he?!" Ladybug spun her yo-yo.
"Don't worry, he finally rejected the akuma" Adrien said.
"You didn't….?" Ladybug asked if he didn't try to kill him as a Werecat.
"No, scaring him to submission," Adrien said.
"Thank goodness" Ladybug sighs in relief.
"But I'm still very pissed at him. He says if you fail to cure me, I'll never leave this mansion ever again. I'm no house pet" Adrien growled lowly and sat on the couch.
"Oh, Adrien, no poor soul like you deserve to be punished" Ladybug sat near him.
"He just doesn't understand I need real freedom than being limited," Adrien said.
"Why don't you ever tell him that you know how to take care of yourself? You're a teenager, Adrien." Ladybug said.
"It's not that easy, Ladybug" Adrien replied.
"Parents can be difficult sometimes but they can't protect us forever. Someday when you're an adult, he has to let you go" Ladybug said.
"Yes, but most of my friends have their independence," Adrien said.
"True but everyone has opinions, their hopes, their dreams. You need to decide your future, not your father deciding what's best for you" Ladybug said.
"Mmhmm" Adrien nods. His cat ears appeared above his head, still upset about his father being very strict.
"Adrien calm down" Ladybug held him close.
"He ruins my…..nine lives…whenever I'm not perfect all the time. He thinks my friends are a bad influence." Adrien sighed.
"They are not the bad influence, he is," Ladybug said.
"That's what I always think. Filling my head with lies" Adrien said as his cat ears transformed back to human ears.
"I wish I could do something about it, Adrien" Ladybug said.
"I just have to wait until I'm 18 and move on with my life," Adrien said.
"Four years until that" Ladybug said.
His stomach growled that it was time to eat meat again, "Well, time to eat. I'll see you later, Ladybug"
"Okay, take care" Ladybug goes out the window.
Adrien groans that his hunger is really constant. His human eyes turned into feline slit eyes, "So…..hungry" He growled and ran on all fours out of the room and jumped down from the edge, getting into the kitchen but was stopped by his father.
"What's your hurry?" He crossed his arms.
"Move! I'm starving!" Adrien let an angry cat hiss.
"Fine, go in" Gabriel gave in.
"Stop looking at me like that!" Adrien hissed and jumped over him to find something that's made of meat this time. He smells fresh steak and he quickly munched on it, very hungry for fresh meat. He swallowed chunks of meat without chewing much. Like a flesh-eating zombie that can't stop eating.
"When are you ever gonna control your appetite?" Gabriel did not like that his son is not on a strict diet.
"It's the curse making me do it!" Adrien looks up.
"When it's over it's back to that diet again" Gabriel replied.
Adrien hissed angrily to think his father only cares about him getting cured instead of realizing he's being tortured by the curse.
