"Cmon papa, can't we read just one more book? Pretty please?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPZct8Wj4g
"But we've already read ten tonight."

The small child gave his father a pleading look.

"I think it's time for you to get some rest."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUiyUftjS6
He let out a disappointed whimper. "Okay."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pAQWM82L2
"Good night, Theo."

"Papa, what will happen if I lose control again?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS97Ao2ceA5
The father lovingly stroked his son's hair. "All werewolves lose control sometimes,"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtddWIvpIBb
"Even you?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPRWigONvJ
"Even me. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything I know. You'll have your transformations under control in no time!"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfB776qoLX
"You promise?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bZIN57mMq
"I promise."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgn42WiugM
They were startled by a loud pounding on their front door. "We know you're in there! Open up!"

His father's face went serious. "I need you to listen very carefully. I need you to hide under the bed and don't make a sound until I say so. Do you understand?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs6sGGzZXO
He nodded. Dust clung to his clothes as he crawled under the bed. It was so dark he could hardly see anything.

"You can't just demand to search our house without a warrant!" Theo's mother shouted from the other room.

"As a matter of fact, we can, Mrs. Lovell. The Silver Huntsmen have a reason to believe there are rogue werewolves living in your home," said a woman's voice he didn't recognize.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fvlhTrRPK
"That's ridiculous!"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WHnbU4Faf
"Is it?"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjTufcBzqM
"You need to leave." His father stated firmly.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sr4N32moo
"Randel Lovell, it's taken us a very long time to find you. I can't believe you actually thought you could run away."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDMZJpe5S0
"Listen, We're not hurting anyone out here. Please, just leave us alone. We won't cause any trouble."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95QyAQeLzs
"Which one of you is going to be the one to shoot the cub when it goes rabid? Yes, we know you have Mixedblood cub. You know you're going to have to put it down sooner or later. We're here to make the job easier for you."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxeG5WzbS
"I've heard enough!" His father growled.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHdVNrjB1Y
"This is your last chance. Tell us where the cub is hiding!"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ6LAx47wV
"Over my dead body!"
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGbSf5AC4I
"Very well then."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERhky0MPWv
Theo never knew how loud the sound of gunshots were until he heard them followed by his mother's sobs, on that fateful night. "Pack Father Gregorio, search the house for the cub. We'll secure the perimeter to make sure it doesn't escape."
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6UWOmG1sy
"Yes, ma'am." The man's footsteps got louder and louder. "What a waste of a Pureblood," the man muttered to himself as he left the room his father's body was resting.

Theo tried to be still, but he couldn't stop trembling.
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6vouHLQoK
The man ripped the blankets off the bed. His shoes were now visible from Theo's hiding place. He was forced to watch in horror as the man picked up the bed, leaving Theo completely exposed. He stared at him with malice in his eyes and pointed a gun right at his face. Theo couldn't do anything but sit there, completely petrified, unable to breathe. His eyes began to fill with tears.

His hand shook as he placed his finger on the trigger. He just stood there with the gun in his shaky hands for an eternity. He slowly lowered the gun. He dialed someone on his phone. "The cubs not in here. He must have escaped somehow. I'll meet you at the rendezvous point." Without another word the man turned and left. Leaving Theo all alone in the dark and empty room.
