After the show, Leo didn’t want to leave—and Gabriel didn’t want him to either. So instead, he kept Leo and his family close for the entire meet and greet.

They sat off to the side on a couch, Leo still cradling the signed DarkRay like a sacred relic. Fans filtered in—some with signs, some with tears—and all of them noticed the boy. When they heard the story, they didn’t just cheer… they swooned. Many asked for selfies with Leo, others gave him high-fives and hugs.

And then came the videos.

Phones were everywhere.

Someone posted a slow-motion clip of Leo’s solo with the caption:

“From Music Shop to Spotlight: Gabriel Just Made This Kid’s Whole Life. 🐺🎸”

Another video caught Gabriel slinging an arm around Leo during the meet and greet, captioned:

“Protect this werewolf cub at all costs.”

The hashtags started to trend within hours:
#LittleWolfLeo
#BassHero
#GabrielMadeMeCry
#FeralFamily

Later that night, when the venue had emptied out and the lights dimmed, Thane and Gabriel walked the family to their SUV parked along the side lot. Leo still held the bass tight, eyes glazed from joy and exhaustion.

Thane walked behind them, eyes scanning quietly—not out of fear, just instinct. Gabriel, all smiles, carried a box of extra merch they’d tossed in for fun—T-shirts, picks, a signed setlist, even a few of Jonah’s broken drumsticks.

A couple of straggling fans across the lot spotted them and started filming. And then another.

As Gabriel handed the last items to Leo’s mom, one fan muttered into her phone:

“He walked them to their car. So no one would touch that bass. I’m gonna cry.”

Another posted a video of Thane leaning casually against the SUV like a protective sentry, captioned:

“Gabriel’s the heart. But Thane is the shield. Alpha energy.”

And yet another, tearfully filming from behind a row of cars, added:

“I just saw two werewolves walk a kid and his family to their car so he could get home safe with a gift bass guitar. Humanity restored.”

The next morning, the hashtag #FeralGuardians hit number one on Twitter. The photo of Gabriel and Leo on stage was already framed on the shop wall back where it all started, and people across the country were lining up for a show they had to see.

Feral Eclipse wasn’t just changing music.

They were changing lives.
