"Cmon papa, can't we read just one more book? Pretty please?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZGQxBNpdF
"But we've already read ten tonight."

The small child gave his father a pleading look.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0GzRHODlM
"I think it's time for you to get some rest."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPCPsvrecQ
He let out a disappointed whimper. "Okay."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxroAEoq33
"Good night, Theo."

"Papa, what will happen if I lose control again?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndjLP2naJF
The father lovingly stroked his son's hair. "All werewolves lose control sometimes,"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOOK3M9AHe
"Even you?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2B4PqjP7
"Even me. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything I know. You'll have your transformations under control in no time!"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUopys7ewO
"You promise?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkZpcHuN02
"I promise."

They were startled by a loud pounding on their front door. "We know you're in there! Open up!"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwbpOVqny1
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?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu3nitcN2v
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNHyvJAt71
"That's ridiculous!"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLtLOKVrUU
"Is it?"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iIGj9qZLV
"You need to leave." His father stated firmly.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLrH7M8g9m
"Randel Lovell, it's taken us a very long time to find you. I can't believe you actually thought you could run away."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQWf2tAF4f
"Listen, We're not hurting anyone out here. Please, just leave us alone. We won't cause any trouble."

"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."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIslp647ofc
"I've heard enough!" His father growled.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQ9H8fzy0
"This is your last chance. Tell us where the cub is hiding!"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHpuEMuon
"Over my dead body!"
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6JjwP23JH
"Very well then."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fCof2cwsT
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."
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JKsgfx07C
"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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuxJqg3FwC
Theo tried to be still, but he couldn't stop trembling.

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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlKlWMv7zD
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.
