"Cmon papa, can't we read just one more book? Pretty please?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDt8espgyH
"But we've already read ten tonight."

The small child gave his father a pleading look.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc4EWhQ0HM
"I think it's time for you to get some rest."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3099yYAvg
He let out a disappointed whimper. "Okay."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1nfAm9usJ
"Good night, Theo."

"Papa, what will happen if I lose control again?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEAQv2eTbb
The father lovingly stroked his son's hair. "All werewolves lose control sometimes,"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8x0DrzLBU
"Even you?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFYRqpwngO
"Even me. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything I know. You'll have your transformations under control in no time!"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bn69alMrY
"You promise?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynzzARZpHE
"I promise."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJVlW2hVHN
They were startled by a loud pounding on their front door. "We know you're in there! Open up!"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevGCtiPT3y
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?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEbRy0IRbw
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lWk6q3SV
"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.

"That's ridiculous!"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz64KZMt3uu
"Is it?"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHhVm8oNp9
"You need to leave." His father stated firmly.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcNDD0HNlw
"Randel Lovell, it's taken us a very long time to find you. I can't believe you actually thought you could run away."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuELc5VCx2t
"Listen, We're not hurting anyone out here. Please, just leave us alone. We won't cause any trouble."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxrPJecqAt
"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."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfrnh8Agus
"I've heard enough!" His father growled.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GHQT4QziQ
"This is your last chance. Tell us where the cub is hiding!"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLw1v2BAGp
"Over my dead body!"
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtq6Uk0sTK
"Very well then."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ZuGj659v
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."
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBRUtY3tub
"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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EDfiWrIxN
Theo tried to be still, but he couldn't stop trembling.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5na0UIyvc
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.
267Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGG6Yje6yK
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.
