"So the secret to creating the most epic meal of all time is stuffing a corn dog from Sonic into a Taco Bell burrito, and then you put Nutella on it," Heath explained.

Theo had been hearing tales of the unholy abominations Heath called food all evening long. All Theo could think about was a quote from the movie Jurassic Park. "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." That's how he felt about Heath's choice of snacks. Did Heath ever think twice before creating the culinary equivalent of Frankenstein's Monster? Theo didn't think so. Bizarrely he envied Heath, he didn't seem to have a worry in the world, apart from coming up with new edible monstrosities. Life must be happier for the unintelligent.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbPgFGPwbG
His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of screams coming from the other side of the stone wall. Theo pressed his ear against the wall in an attempt to discern what was happening on the other side.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZstmxa195
"Control yourself at once, Rosalind." Pack Mother Luna shouted.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1xQb0gNeg
Her demands were met with the sound of a fearsome growl.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtiDIIiFvp
"This is your final warning Rosalind, shift back to your human form, or I'll have no choice but to incapacitate you."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnNGSJxI1Y
The sound of growling grew louder and the council erupted into chaos.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsBVnZEoBR
Theo stood up and ran towards the door.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkO2iQt23s
"Hey, where are you going?" Heath called after him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHx8zKHHgf
"Rosalind needs me." That was all he said before he sprinted out of the room.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6UPaZ1ok5
"Hey, wait up!" Heath jumped up and ran after him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ45HkcahN
Theo rushed down the hall, even though he wasn't sure where he was going. He ended up in the room Rosalind had been staying in. Something silver caught his eye. He raced into the room and grabbed it. It was a silver bow and a quiver full of silver arrows. All werewolves were weak against silver. He could feel it slowly draining his life force every moment he touched it. If he was about to face The Council of Alphas, he was going to need any help he could get.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TP4MVExI2
Heath barreled into the room after him. "Damn, you're fast." Sweat dripped from his brow and he panted heavily.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcw8UaaZF
Theo seized the opportunity and held the sharp tip of one of the arrows to Heath's throat. "I'm leaving this place, and I'm taking Rosalind with me. If you stand in my way, I'll carve open your throat."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIkJMqzaFx
Heath raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay. Please keep that silver away from me! Ooh, I have an idea! You should let me help you escape. I know every inch of this place, and I will personally escort you out of here."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGHKzT6CGC
Theo refused to back down. "You would betray your pack? Why?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHveNOnzK4
He shrugged. "Because I hate Pack Mother Luna, she's always treated Chandler and I like trash, and I want to spite her."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlknnB0HoVi
Theo glared at him as he lowered the arrow. "No funny business."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgA1WAbnOW
Heath nodded vigorously. "No funny business, understood."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoN8jOf8Mj
Theo signaled for Heath to lead the way, and he happily obliged, leading the way through the winding corridors of the den.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtOpQr95Hz
Things were going well until they reached the outside of the banquet hall, where they were confronted by one of the alphas. "Halt Mixedblood. You are under arrest in the name of the Silver Huntsman."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNah4lZY5T
"Move aside!" Theo shouted as he aimed an arrow at the Alpha. Theo didn't trust his archery skills enough to fire an arrow, so he hoped his empty threats would be enough.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOHX9Uwpz
The Alpha bared their fangs. "I'd rather die than yield to a worthless Mixedblood."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjbZDF4PQe
Theo pulled back the bowstring. "That can be arranged."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp22Uej7xYB
The pair entered a staring match that seemed to last an eternity. The alpha made the first move and pounced at Theo. In the heat of the moment, Theo recalled everything Rosalind had taught him about archery. He widened his stance, relaxed his muscles, and released his grip. The arrow flew into the alpha's shoulder. Theo didn't stick around to see if they were okay. He pushed past the wounded alpha and sauntered into the banquet hall, with Heath trailing behind him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgTKO19U9b
The banquet had erupted into chaos. Rosalind stood on the table in her werewolf form, growling at Pack Mother Luna. She had knocked most of the food onto the floor during her frenzy. Half of the werewolves were trying to evacuate, the other half were preparing to fight.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd3sMn2zSi
"You guys missed one hell of a party," Chandler said by way of greeting. His speech was somewhat slurred. This could be a good thing. It'd be easier to overpower him if he was intoxicated. Theo hoped it wouldn't come to that, he wanted to avoid harming anyone else tonight, but he wasn't leaving without Rosalind.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxbWeewmqr
Theo inched towards the end of the table.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx13PacJO7V
Several of the Alphas whispered among themselves.
"Is that a Mixedblood?"
"What is a Mixedblood doing here?"
"What is it doing?"
"Should we try to stop it?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcddnkPlKU
Theo ignored them. His only goal was getting to Rosalind. He wasn't far now. "Rosalind, I need you to relax."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYkb9cYuya
She jerked away from her mother and faced him. She peered at him with a look of fury in her eyes and let out a low growl.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJVEzyiNI9
"Rosalind, I need you to relax." He extended a hand towards her. There was a high probability of her biting his hand off, but it was a risk he was willing to take. She inched closer and sniffed his hair, then she pressed her forehead against his. "I knew you wouldn't hurt me." He entangled his fingers in her thick brown fur. "I'm going to get you out of here, but I need you to work with me, okay?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fpTiVWkTK
She let out a sharp wince and passed out.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8omFMQ089
He shook her. "Rosalind!" Therewasa small tranquilizer dart buried into her dense mass of fur. Theo looked up to see Chandler holding a tranquilizer gun.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmorfIS05Ba
"Excellent work, Chandler," Pack Mother Luna raised a brow and smirked. "It's about time you did something useful for once in your life."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4mgUnMfuh
"I'm not going to let you abuse me any anymore, mom." Chandler's voice quavered, but he didn't back down.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroqe9dpxA7
Luna let out a humorless laugh. "Stop being dramatic. Me? Abusive? Please, I've never laid a finger on you."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2QhBLf6Jy
"You criticize everything I do, and you belittle me in front of the pack, I can see it in your eyes, you enjoy humiliating me!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1GkpBbXLm
"Sticks and stones, Chandler. If you're not tough enough to handle a little criticism, you're certainly not fit to lead this pack. If you were less of a failure, I wouldn't need to correct you so often."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ARfHnRjvn
Chandler fired a tranquilizer dart into her neck.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QTvnzMt0C
The remaining Alphas gawked at him in disbelief.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS96VtsWy2
"The party is over, assholes!" Chandler announced. He slung Rosalind's unconscious body over his shoulder. He motioned for Theo and Heath to follow. He guided them through a secret passage within the walls, which lead them outdoors. The full moon greeted them as they ascended from the underground cave.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA718sbolc
"The Pack Mother is totally gonna kill us when she wakes up," Heath remarked.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgMnV7npJJ
"Which is why we'll need to outsmart her." Theo said.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1AfOgSCdE
Chandler scoffed. "That's not possible, no one can evade the Pack Mother for long. Congratulations, boys, we've irrevocably screwed ourselves. I hope you've both completed your bucket lists."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkusoQbUpGt
Theo crossed his arms. "Well, I've managed to evade her for twelve years and counting." He argued.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv65br4Vt4H
"Yeah, well now she has a vendetta against you personally. Let me tell you something about my mother, She never lets go of a grudge."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN5hmmVM7F
"You should listen to him, Mixedblood." Duke stood in the center of the path, holding a pistol fully loaded with silver bullets.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwUUbmReWh
"Get out of the way, Duke," Chandler said, not a bit intimidated.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYJPsajY5w
"You've both lost your damn minds! I could picture him pulling a stunt like this," Duke pointed an accusatory finger towards Heath, "but I thought you were better than this Chandler."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIitWiXWOv
"Oh, you want to tell me how much of a disappointment I am? I'm sorry, but you're going to have to get in line."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbIVgZScJk
"Don't try to make yourself the victim here! You betrayed your pack! You betrayed me!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsUn1E9bjV
"This isn't about you. This is about me protecting my little sister."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXXYxDkbs0
"From her own family?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsZaiK0tYn
"Yes!" Chandler gestured around them. "She deserves a better life than this. She deserves a better mother than the one she was born with. She deserves a father who's willing to stand up to mom. She deserves a brother who's not a total screw-up. I can't give her any of those things, but I give her a life better than mine."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8egnSPg8j
Duke's hands shook, as he moved his finger towards the trigger.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjBLLtb3Ed
"Run away with us, Duke."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRM9jGgLpk
"I can't," His voice quavered. "My loyalty is to the Silver Huntsmen, and I have a duty to fulfill."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wgRU1Wnnz
Chandler shook his head. "I don't think you really care about hunting rogue werewolves. I think you want something else."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwEZIhWlPf
Duke clutched onto the gun tighter. "Like what?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyGWBHFDRt
"Validation. I think what you truly want is to be told that you're enough. I'm sorry your father has never told you that you're good enough. I know you think my mother's approval can fill the void your father put inside you, but it can't." Chandler took a step towards him. "You're good enough for me, Duke.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGweohP7gx8
"Shut up!" Tears sprung to his eyes. "You don't know anything about me! You're nothing!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5cE1IazRW
Chandler gently removed Rosalind from his shoulders and handed her to Theo. He took another step towards Duke. "If I'm nothing, stop being a coward and put a bullet in me, already." He strode forward. "I've officially gone rogue, so complete your duty as a member of The Silver Huntsmen and kill me."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf7HQG8yls
"Chandler no! Don't do this, man!" Heath wailed.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4SAQFnIQ4
Chandler shot him an icy stare, warning him to stay back. "Deliver my body to my beloved mother and become the Alpha you were always meant to be." Chandler took two more paces forward."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo22kz8bB5p
Duke's entire body trembled.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxOowjdqQa
"What are you waiting for? This is the final step in your journey. If I'm dead and Rosalind is gone, you're guaranteed to get promoted." He took one final step. The pair were only inches apart. The tip of the pistol rested against his forehead. You can kill me, but please let everyone else go." He said in a hushed whisper. "Do it."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3g01zZAP
Duke lowered his head. He released his grip on the gun, and it clattered to the ground.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Uy0FnqqL
Chandler squatted down and picked up the pistol. He pointed it towards the sky and pulled the trigger. Nothing happened. The safety was on. He let out a loud cackle. "I knew it!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjumhs202Bp
Duke gave a sour, disbelieving laugh. "No, you didn't."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNMwkUbDc6
You may have a superior sense of smell, but you're not the only one who can smell a lie," Chandler winked. "And I was pretty sure you were bluffing."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn6MCpGZQG
"How sure?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU7b7AZbm2
"Like sixty percent."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r0h90LCoR
Several wolves howled in the distance.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86RC06yGS
"They're coming for us," Theo whispered.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr89yf4BiF
Duke reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of car keys. "Try not to shed in my jeep."
