>> I'm seeing the pack eventually setting up a shared living thing for some of them. And having a nice set of "dens" that pleasant but safe.<<
They're already starting to think that way with houses and yards. Buying or building a sharehouse would be great.
>> One thought is that a property with an old mine (of some safe sort) or a small cave system might work. Refit things to make there aren't any unexpected exits and add lights, water and some other things <<
Awesome idea. :D Feel free to prompt for that.
>> Some chambers could be for one or two weres, others might be a complex to be shared by a bunch of them. <<
Yeah, depending on the type of mine, that could work. Some have been turned into municipal shelters.
>>Hmm. Thinking back on some playground designs from the mid to late 60s, you could do an above ground setup using premade concrete cable vaults, and large diameter pre-made concrete pipe. Join them together, cut some windows (add bars if necessary) and intersperse with some open areas that are securely enclosed (one playground near where I lived then had a couple of large "cages" made of rebar with openings for the kids to crawl in and out.<<
Zoos routinely use various types of concrete to sculpt their exhibits. They also use natural elements such as rocks and logs. This sort of thing would work great for werewolves, whether indoors like the den they already have or outdoors like Randie's yard.
>> You'd want to add toys and fancy things up, but there are a lot of premade components that could be put together to form dens and the like.<<
Yep. The zoo toys were a brilliant idea. Werewolves need enrichment or they're more liable to roam.
>> And the rest of the month, you leave the gates unlocked and let the kids swarm over and thru things. :-) <<

That's one option, but a more modern version is shotcrete. It's popular for making monolithic domes. These are easily connected to form schools and other complexes. If you look at the largest category of homes, you can see various styles including multilevels, clusters, and lines of domes linked together like habitrails. For werewolves, one or more domes could be furnished as dens.
