Theo's Epilogue...
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoCIsEJznK
He held Rosalind in his arms for what felt like ages. He squeezed her tightly as she sobbed into his shoulder. He tried to think of something to say that would reassure her, but he came up blank. What could you possibly say to console someone who'd just accidentally killed their mother? Instead of speaking, he hummed a soothing melody and held her closer.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFr6XfrK4h
A few minutes later, Chandler, Duke, and Heath appeared out of the forest clearing. Chandler immediately rushed to Gregorio's side.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHROavE4k27
Gregorio reached out a trembling hand and caressed Chandler's cheek. "My son." He whispered, then fell unconscious from the blood loss.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXprBu6rAwU
"What the hell happened here?" Chandler shouted.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAD6CHAh5w
"Your Pack Mother is dead," Theo said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBpiqZr3Gk
"How?" Duke asked. He seemed to take the news in stride.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfoUqgbCz4
Rosalind's cries got louder.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11CzvzFziR
"I'll tell you later," Theo said. "For now, we should focus on getting medical attention for your Pack Father."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRBAKatA5T
During the following days, they'd managed to find a back-alley doctor who knew a few things about werewolf biology. He was willing to treat Pack Father Gregorio, and not ask too many questions.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM2kb4PBnE
Rosalind had insisted on retrieving her mother's remains alone. No-one stopped her, they all knew that was something she needed to do for herself.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyudxQR0rF9
They buried their Pack Mother in an unmarked grave behind Gran's cabin. They held a small funeral out of respect, but no one shed a tear during the service.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kNNazUVTC
Theo wasn't particularly fond of the deceased, so he spent his time comforting Rosalind. After the service, she squeezed his hand. "Thank you so much for being here for me."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqSLDfheBz
He squeezed her hand in return. "Of course, you've supported me more times than I can count, the least I can do is be here for you now."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWeBaGKWrO
A fraction of a smile spread across her lips. She glanced back at the grave. "Can I have a few minutes alone? I want to say goodbye."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWMkEIvRVY
Theo nodded, he released her hand from his grasp and walked away. On his stroll through the forest, he encountered Chandler. He was leaned up against a tree with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
Theo ransacked his brain for something to say. The best he could come up with was, "How are you holding up?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvVZLzK1MF
Chandler took a long drag of his cigarette. "How does it look like I'm doing?" He didn't look well. His hair was wild and unkempt, and he had large bags under his eyes.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UQ15W9diw
Theo tried to change the subject. "How is your father doing?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKePGa3cJew
He shrugged. "He's alive, and that's enough."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc93pgPi2m
They stood in silence for several moments.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmvPqHrrnx
"Do you need something?" Chandler asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kgu0bjroY
"Yes actually," Theo intended to ask someone else for this favor, but since Chandler was asking, "May I borrow your cellphone?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6So2L51FE
He raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLykquvy9aV
"Because I don't have one, and I'd like to call my mom. She's moving soon, and I'd like to let her know I'll be staying in Rosewood for the remainder of my days."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFEsw8YhHo
"The remainder of your days? Are you dying or something?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8vu7HO9s
"I'm going to go feral any day now."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRJmmh5LY0
Chandler typed in the passcode to his phone. "Fine. You can use my phone. Consider it your Make-A-Wish. Don't go through any of my stuff, it's private!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiOzVfb8nc
"I have no interest in your personal life."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHqm4WYF2O
That response seemed to satisfy Chandler.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5oSkAdkdY
Theo accepted the phone and dialed his mother's number. He took a few steps away, so Chandler couldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPlMD57ccl
"Who is this?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezNx37WQUf
"Hi, Mom."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDArSNxO3vg
"Theodore?" Her voice cracked on the other end of the line.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalqfvj9j8a
"Yeah, it's me.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2zQCfayzS
"Please, tell me you're alright! I haven't heard from you since you stopped by the house, and I assumed the worst!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H1TGjurNK
He sighed. "I'm doing well, physically speaking, anyway."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXP4x6e6mk
There was a long pause, then his mother said. "How much longer do you have?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcgFVPlLd8
"Not long, now." He could hear her soft cries on the other end of the line. He decided to say what he'd planned to before he lost his courage. "I'm not moving with you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYg6rsVCz8
"What? Where will you go?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUlr4RD0pL
"I'm staying in Rosewood. I don't want you to be the one who has to kill me. I want you to remember me as human."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OtmnjjIFH
"I don't know what I'm going to do without you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL8wEX8tDL
"You can finally move on. You've spent eighteen years of your life protecting me, and I'm so grateful for all you've done. You've made more sacrifices than I can count, in caring for me. Now I want you to take care of yourself."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeS2c8YZRH
"I don't know if I can."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexfQCuQklN
"I believe in you. I know you're strong enough to make it through this. I'm sorry we didn't have more time together."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr35X3nzAE
"It's not your fault, sweetheart."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHq8HGq7SL
"I know."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaczhU3qMyX
"I'm sorry for my actions. I know I went too far in trying to get you the cure, but I was just trying to save you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ZrmZLtHd
"I know, but you were in the wrong, and you hurt people in the process. I never would have asked you to do what you did."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnavcOgf86
She sighed. "You're right."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR38tUtOX4
"I love you, mom."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6dYh0aoQP
"I love you too, and I'm going to miss you every single day."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLZ74aSkAf
After the phone call, Theo returned Chandler's phone. "Thank you for letting me borrow it," Theo said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9JBxTqzbf
"Well, I never got to say goodbye to my mom. I thought you deserved the chance to goodbye to yours."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6AsLEO4oe
Theo quirked an eyebrow. "Do you wish you could've said your farewells?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKkvNaeDB
He shrugged. "There are some things I'm always going to regret not telling her, but honestly, I think we're all better off without her."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2k8zZtWZc
Theo gave an understanding nod.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjv74yLQTi
"Do you have any plans for your final days?" Chandler asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72uGiHd4GJ
Theo shook his head.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqSS62fJ3a
"Stay with us. You can be the first Mixedblood member of our pack."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0b4ZOwgOf
Theo narrowed his eyes. "Is that a serious offer?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2YZ9tmla8
Chandler rolled his eyes. "I would have said it if I didn't mean it. My sister would be thrilled to have you around."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmai3wAIhAV
Theo smiled. "I accept your offer."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXygrlev5d
"Great!" Chandler pointed towards the forest. "Your first mission is to go find Heath and make sure he's not eating any poison berries. Have fun!" Chandler walked off without another word.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK5AJXqjek
Theo wandered into the woods, where he spotted Heath. He danced around and sang Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCOM4j25l4
"Hello, Heath." Theo hollered, causing Heath to startle.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM3gvDzVJZ
He laughed awkwardly. "Hey bro, what are you doing out here?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOWT5Gm3qg
"Chandler sent me to make sure you weren't consuming and dangerous plants."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7YvvovaZc
Heath scoffed. "I haven't eaten anything poisonous in a week and a half."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4VMaXSUkl
"Congratulations," Theo said in a monotone as he plopped down on a dilapidated stone wall in the center of the clearing. He reached into his satchel and pulled out the book he'd been reading.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF0hCx4IOt
"So lately, I've been thinking about the time I got into a fight with a raccoon in a dumpster behind Buffalo Wild Wings," Heath said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjjsIapUcb
"Is that so?" Theo didn't look up from his book, he was used to Heath's incessant ramblings by now.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazkVe5OHgx
"Yeah, so the raccoon was hogging all the good scraps, I told him he needed to share. He didn't like that, so we started brawling."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDse22dSaWQ
"Who won?" Theo raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSLtfiOavz
"Definitely the raccoon." He rolled up his sleeve, revealing faint scars that resembled bites and scratch marks. "I got rabies."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS3LXs19hq
"Sounds delightful," Theo said in a sarcastic tone.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEab7Xpuwgi
"I haven't even gotten to the good part yet."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNW2BsXUDm
"I'm on the edge of my seat." Theo deadpanned.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzEHafTRX
"When Duke forced me to see a doctor, they gave me some medicine and a blood transfusion and I got better, so..." He looked at Theo expectantly.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lArwW6IMd
"I have no idea where you're going with this."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSd9PDoCL1
"Maybe if we give you a blood transfusion, we can stop you from going rabid!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m0xgse4Ze
Theo frowned and shook his head. That could never work. Right? He pondered the suggestion. Could it work? Perhaps if he got a transfusion from a Pureblood werewolf, it could stabilize his condition. It wouldn't cure him of Lycanthropy, but it could stop him from going crazy. This plan might actually work! It was certainly worth a try, it's not like he had anything to lose. "You might be on to something."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjyLxcZQc1
"I might?" He looked shocked. "I thought you were going to tell me it was a stupid idea."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWztQeOWTVf
Theo smirked. "I think it's worth a shot."

Rosalind's Epilogue...
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViglWSuM4W
"Hey mom," Rosalind gently placed a bouquet of black dahlias on her mother's grave. "I brought you some of your favorite flowers. I remember you said you loved it because it symbolizes all the dark emotions like sadness and anger." She shook her head. "I never understood you. I don't know why you did the things you did. I never meant to kill you, mom. It was an accident. I'd always hoped someday you'd change, and we could be a family again, but..." Tears welled up in her eyes.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSdqyLdghU
Someone hugged her from behind. At first, she thought it was Theo, but when she breathed in the scent of sweat and tobacco, she realized it was Chandler.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7hXmFaVXg
"Hey, sis."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBcteYK6Tg
"Hey," she said hesitantly, not used to being called sis.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVY7lPSZzu
"I wanted to thank you for saving dad. I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost him."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycYZ0NFZwG
Rosalind broke away from his grasp. "You're thanking me for killing mom?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb34Bsz3E8G
He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "That's not what I'm saying."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxvBqL4unw
She crossed her arms. "That's what it sounds like."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAuR34KHBV
"Okay, maybe that's what I'm saying."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9zER25ADl
She threw up her hands in frustration. "You're unbelievable!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCJKteI7pK
"I don't know if you noticed, but mom was abusive." He pointed to the scratch marks on his face that had turned into a scab. "Dad isn't perfect, but he loved me. If I had to kill mom to save dad, I would've in a heartbeat."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGCA8f3uwL
"I'm not like you, Chandler."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHb9IQP2ek
"I don't want to fight with you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cizpJro35
"I don't want to fight with you either." She took a step closer.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaHSGTY2G0
"Can we have a truce?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg1rRmEq3z
She nodded.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllGpf5ziER
They both sat in the grass beside their mother's gravestone and told each other stories from the years they spent apart.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiySwxPvTKR
"Can you do me a favor?" Chandler asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns4iFPNHVV
She pressed her lips together in a thin line. "What's the favor?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU3Q874GbD
"Duke and I are going on a little trip. We should be back in a week. Will you please keep dad company while I'm gone?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Og26eo6O
"Where are you going?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIinaWYpQOJ
"We're going to make sure the last of the Wolfsbane is properly disposed of."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96egmJk03c
"Wait here." Rosalind disappeared into Gran's cabin and returned with the silver bow and arrows."Please, get rid of it, I don't care how. I never want to see it again."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kDx3vLPlX
Chandler gave a solemn nod and accepted the items. "And you'll take care of dad?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwtl7kmy8G
"Yes, of course."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW3SV0EJUq
He smiled. "He's going to be so happy to spend time with you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihGGm1yDpt
"He is?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4EBGuS3fT
"Definitely, he adores you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tHknVafrh
"He doesn't even know me."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUCZkHxMwN
He shrugged. "You're his daughter. It's his job to love you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7RhqWwZ2a
Duke walked out of the cabin with two black duffle bags in hand. He threw one to Chandler. "Are you ready to go?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtslG7EwI9
Chandler rummaged through the duffle bag to make sure everything was present. "I think so."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKotd0r3gZ
"You're leaving right now?" Rosalind gaped.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDCA0PG0ej
Duke nodded. "We need to destroy it, soon as possible, if anyone gets their hands on a bottle of Wolfsbane they could reverse engineer the recipe."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKC03B3WI
Chandler placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll be back no time."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEqwni4UkA
"If The Silver Huntsmen don't kill us first. We are still rogue werewolves, after all." Duke said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxUF0xA7ps
Chandler glared in his direction.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HNjs5xbxs
"Go." Rosalind encouraged. "I'll look after things here."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKF2fHDLMl
"No one should come after while we're gone," Duke said. "But just in case, we'll be leaving Heath to protect you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUW80KBP2n
Rosalind rolled her eyes. "I feel safer already."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QAwi0iRSg
Duke tried to suppress a chuckle.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaiieeeZ3r
Rosalind glanced around the forest. "Has anyone seen Theo?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBoqrLL71Q
"Oh, your nerd boyfriend? I sent him to go babysit Heath." Chandler said. He turned to Duke. "I invited him to stay with us."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPIQIUnyL0
"What?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoNW90kkgl
"It's okay he won't be around for long."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW95aS4x6k
Rosalind's heart sank. He was right, now that the locket was gone Theo was going to go rabid. What was she thinking? That was the problem, she didn't think. All she did was act, and look where that got her. She saw a flash of movement through the trees. Theo and Heath approached them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBtZtWILj4
Chandler gave them a smirk. "Have fun, you two."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVIQQmokws
"What about me?" Heath pouted.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw9lgRrN5A
"Not you, I hope you have an awful time while we're gone," Chandler said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMDe39SWgY
Duke waved. "Goodbye, Heath."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQYGbbcyLb
"Hey bring me back a souvenir, and get me something from the drive-through on your way home and–"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMeBWbfVHU
"Shut up Heath!" Chandler shouted as they walked away.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LsGLvqtpU
Rosalind turned to Theo. "I'm sorry about the locket, I don't know what I was thinking."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYtUEgJQpS
"It didn't work anyway," Theo said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BWRTL6bjl
Rosalind's eyebrows shot up. "What do you mean it didn't work?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxa6WjrUDN
It stopped me from turning into a wolf, but it didn't stop me from going rabid."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlWnPRmA5d
Rosalind cupped his face in her hands. "I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could do."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRq0TSaD11
"There might be. What's your blood type?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiaXJR2pKI
"O-"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH5dA5p5Z3
"The universal donor."A smile spread across his lips. "Are you willing to try an experiment that could save me?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjmIYCvc94
She gave a firm nod.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4olH3Pfvn9
Chandler & Duke's epilogue...
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIWLFABRb9
"You know, your sister is bloodthirsty, like her mom. Did you see how she handled some of those wolves? She's vicious." Duke commented as they strolled down the path.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmWgMdUwqf
"Are you concerned?" Chandler asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWqDtLaJI
"No. She's strong and fearless, and she protects the people she cares about most. So, it sounds like she's a lot she has a lot, in common with her big brother too."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx19q1CCEKJ
Chandler bumped his shoulder playfully.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsf7okUfgh
Duke froze in his tracks. "I smell two werewolves nearby."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCeezSvxDo
"Anyone, we know?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjMw6zvgCI
"One of them is my father." Duke cringed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwayuPksfWC
"No problem, I could kick your dad's ass in a fight."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6W8k6uJ3N
"Is that so." Duke's father leaned up against a tree with Pack Mother Regina by his side. They both held glasses of champagne in their hands.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlraWh5S4Wo
"Yeah, I could totally take you down, old man." Chandler clenched his fists and marched towards them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM90PXjRHh
Duke jumped in between them. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3w2UZU3on
"We heard the wonderful news!" Pack Mother Regina exclaimed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLPEo6X8mF
"Wonderful news?" Duke quirked an eyebrow.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfada52UHJj
"The untimely passing of Pack Mother Luna." Pack Father Lydon clarified as he clinked glasses with Pack Mother Regina. "I couldn't stand her."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAyugHcHHN
Regina nodded in agreement. "She was ugly, and I'm glad she's dead." She glanced over at Chandler. "No offense."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0rrC1y17O
"None taken."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZDG874RZN
"Is this the only reason you came here?" Duke asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtVYFMUkns
"Of course not." His father responded. "We're here to discuss your future. You're technically traitors to the Silver Huntsmen. We should execute you on the spot, but we are so pleased that you were partially responsible for Pack Mother Luna's permanent removal, the Council has agreed to let you live on two conditions."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCwbrx13Sz
Chandler narrowed his eyes. "What's the catch?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1xW49Rcd9
"We have decided that since you are traitors to our cause you are permanently banned from calling yourselves Silver Huntsmen, and you must evacuate your den within the next two weeks. You may retrieve any personal belongings, but anything that is property of The Silver Huntsmen must be returned." Pack Mother Regina said.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13xU8BuzHp
Duke nodded. "Fair enough."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXHnbXW5hN
Pack Father Lydon took one last gulp of his champagne, then shifted into his wolf form. "Goodbye, Duke." Without another word, he sprinted away.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEpCZdOXBw
"Give Gregorio my regards," Pack Mother Regina winked before shifting to her wolf form and following him.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJeX58VZ4P
Chandler turned to Duke. "I will not be giving the Pack Father her regards."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m03Nx74AW
Duke laughed. "Me neither."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwSUtu8nWs
Heath's epilogue...
One month later...
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi8p7uNX7w
"I hate all of you!" Duke shouted.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBdLOLYg1g
"You hate me?" Heath responded. "The person you should be hating is Theo! He's a good-for-nothing cheater!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtBRDSG3CO
"It's not my fault, I'm better than all of you!" Theo defended himself. "I destroyed you fair and square."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsGdtdamfJ
"Fair and square?" Rosalind scoffed. "You betrayed me!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rn37MdBpM
Theo shrugged, "That's life."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEuLMAvdnB
Gregorio stood up in front of everyone. "Maybe it's we played a different game. Mario Kart brings out the worst in all of you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztGEIyTMSe
"I don't know what you're talking about," Duke said. "Who the hell just threw a red shell at me!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA1Rgt4aCU
Chandler laughed manically and Duke tackled him.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMMn7YnIUI
Gregorio unplugged the Switch, causing everyone to complain. "I'm not sorry, you all need a moment to calm yourselves."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfr1N2SH4o
Heath jumped up. "Come on, Theo, I'm gonna show how I make gummy worm pizza."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC8iVSUfsv
"Do I have to?" Theo grumbled.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K6RZc7NMp
"My idea saved your life, Mixedblood," Heath said. "Now you're in my debt for life."

It's true. Since Theo started getting blood transfusions, the signs of madness slowly disappeared, and he had better control over his transformations. He sighed. "Fine!"

"You're not making gross food in my kitchen!" Gran shouted.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeXizu9UeG
"Awww," Heath whined.

"Bummer, I was really in the mood for gummy worm pizza." Rosalind joked.

Theo kissed her forehead. "I suppose I'll have to order you one."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnhO354EzS
She smiled. "You have soft lips."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D5Xk4pGM1
"The better to kiss you with, my dear."

She leaned in and they locked lips. She ran her fingers through his hair and he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"This cabin is too small," Heath remarked.

"It's only temporary," Duke said.

There was a loud knock on the door. Everyone glanced around the room. "Are we expecting anyone?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5xtJ5Eh8h
"Almost everyone I know is in this room," Rosalind said.

"I think Heath should open the door," Chandler said. "He's the most expendable."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ61VrWjAvv
"I think you should shut up for once, Chandler!" Heath retorted, but willing opened the door.

Several children dressed in colorful costumes stood on their doorstep. "Trick or treat?" They shouted in unison.

"It's Halloween?" Heath exclaimed. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBaRhGe9lI
"Because we're grown adults, Heath," Duke responded.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrNzx12No5
"Yeah, when you're an adult without children, Halloween is just another day," Chandler added.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQQJNU61Wq
Heath covered the children's ears. "Don't listen to them, Halloween is magic, no matter how old you are." Heath handed them each a giant bag of gummy worms. "Here you can have these now that my pizza dreams are ruined."

After the children left, Heath declared that they must celebrate the holiday.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXeZlNZr3u
"How should we celebrate?" Rosalind asked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj80CwJ1xL
"Let's do werewolf stuff," Heath suggested. "The moon is full tonight. It's the perfect night."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5oMHgToom
Theo stood up. "I'll go with you. I'm going to shift soon anyway."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNhhlLpmgc
"I'll go too." Rosalind cracked her knuckles. "I need more practice moving around in my wolf form."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZahIGhgbA
Chandler and Duke joined them by the door, "We can't let you guys have all the fun without us."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xd4xXGuHy
"Wait for me!" Gran said. It's been too long since I've felt the wind in my fur."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3A4XOPSnQ
Gregorio smiled. "Someone has to make sure you stay out of trouble."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKEjslnkRC
Together, they shifted into their wolf forms and ran off into the night as a family.
