Oh and, just to help a bit, I will make you a summary of Lucas' backstory, so that if you need to refer to something or look at it again, you don't have to read it all over:

Lucas lives in a village. Has a mother called Anika and a father Hunter. He has a twin brother too, Caleb. One day, Anika, Lucas and Caleb (Lucas and Caleb was 10 back then) walks through the woods, and are attacked by a wolf mutt. They run towards the river, where Anika sacrefises her life to safe her twins, by staying on the shore while pushing them into the water. When the twins got back to the village, and Hunter heard about his wife's death, he went crazy and beat up one of the villagers, and all Caleb and Lucas could do was stand there and watch. Next day, Caleb went out with a kicthen knife to avenge his mother (a fight he couldn't possibly win). Hunter hurried out in the woods to rescue his son but when night fell, and Hunter returned, all he had found was a piece of Anika's dress and one of Caleb's shoes. Hunter became distant, and would every single day venture out to look for his lost son, clinging to the hope that he was still alive. Because of this, Lucas has been on his own, raising himself ever since then.
