This universe follows the same basic plotline as the VLD universe with a significant major change: Werebeasts exist on Earth and the human crew of Voltron are werewolves.
While werebeasts exists, they aren’t very public to normal humans. Each species of werebeast has its own culture and role within their overall sub-society. The Galaxy Garrison mainly recruits predators, although they also have humans in their ranks. Those selected to be on flight crews are almost always werewolves. High ranking officers tend to be werecats. Scientists are more varied, as are other positions.
Pidge
Pidge is a werefox like the rest of her family. When she snuck into the Garrison she passed herself as an Ethiopian Wolf, which are very fox-like. She used illegal hormones, etc. to make it more convincing. It’s unheard of for werefoxes to be pilots as they are viewed to be more fragile than other predator werebeasts.
Shiro
Shiro is a werewolf, specifically a Tundra Wolf. They’re huge, tend to be black/silver/white, and look like giant huskies ngl. His fur was originally black, although it turned somewhat white after he was captured by the Galra. Despite his wolf form being his strongest form, he never used it while in the arena. After coming back to life, all of his fur turned as white as snow.
Keith
Keith is a Dire Wolf. It’s a currently extinct form of wolf and werewolf, although his father was a wolf and when his genes mixed with Krolia’s unique Galra ones, it produced a mutation that most closely resembles the dire werewolves of old. Perhaps their origin is lest terrestrial than once thought...
Hunk
Hunk, like his mother, is a Makenzie Valley Wolf (aka Timber Wolf). As one of the largest kinds of werewolves, his werebeast form is very intimidating. Unfortunately for Hunk, he doesn’t like using it often and even while in wolf form isn’t very aggressive--unless it means protecting his friends.
Lance
Most of Lance’s family are coyotes, but Lance himself (like his sister Veronica) is an Eastern Wolf (or Great Lakes Wolf). They are a medium sized wolf similar to coyotes, which is part of why he never really felt out of place in his family. That and the fact that they would’ve loved him whether he was a werewolf, werecoyote, or not a werebeast at all (like one of his nephews). He got picked on some as a kid but never let it keep him down.
No one besides Shiro knows that Pidge is not a werewolf. They don’t really care, but it’s not something they’ve really discussed since coming to space. Since their werebeast forms are in part related to Earth’s moon, being in space makes them unreliable. Additionally, Coran and Allura don’t know about it, although they have on occasion seen a paladin in wolf form. They just assumed all humans did that and didn’t see a need to ask.
Haggar does know about Shiro’s wolf form (or suspects something of it) but was unable to get him to transform. Lotor is unaware of the ability and sees humans as physically inferior to both Alteans and Galra.
As far as relationships go, there is both implied Shidge and implied Lotidge in the comic and the first story. It’s left open for development later.

This story takes place prior to The Beast Inside Us:
Team Voltron is running a stealth mission with the inclusion of Lotor. Because of the specifics of the mission, Pidge ends up being paired with Lotor, who rides in his own ship. Away from the rest of the team, they are caught by the Galra just within the orbit of a forest planet. Both Lotor’s ship and the Green Lion go down, leaving them crashed in separate (but fairly close--within a day’s walk) parts of the surface.
Lotor’s ship is wrecked. Bad. He’s lost in the forest and can’t find Pidge at all. Due to physical injury and exhaustion, he passes out in the middle of the woods. Delirious, he sees visions of a beautiful beast above him. Its fur looks soft and silky, but its features are fierce and dangerous. It’s a magnificent creature he’s never had the pleasure of laying eyes on before. He contemplates, in the briefest of moments when his mind is capable of thought, if the creature is the manifestation of the Altean equivalent of angels. And then he’s out cold.
When Lotor finally wakes up, it’s raining outside. He’s in a cave with a small fire burning next to him. At the entrance, he sees a shadow-y figure that resembles the shape of a wolf. He closes his eyes and rubs his head and when he opens them again, Pidge is walking towards him and asking if he’s okay. They wait together for Green to charge before heading back to the rest of the team. Lotor doesn’t have any more hallucinations, but for some reason he can’t shake the feeling that what he saw was more than a dream...
