Theo's Epilogue...
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vUbj4EsLY
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4vaftFzgS
A few minutes later, Chandler, Duke, and Heath appeared out of the forest clearing. Chandler immediately rushed to Gregorio's side.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrK9jk3fW1
Gregorio reached out a trembling hand and caressed Chandler's cheek. "My son." He whispered, then fell unconscious from the blood loss.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCilCL77tWq
"What the hell happened here?" Chandler shouted.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKc7kWbryX
"Your Pack Mother is dead," Theo said.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCbLF1ysZn
"How?" Duke asked. He seemed to take the news in stride.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V0Dqc4L9s
Rosalind's cries got louder.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkou2L0jEf
"I'll tell you later," Theo said. "For now, we should focus on getting medical attention for your Pack Father."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsGxspQUbA
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUHjeOaeVI
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1LrGjIlli
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl9dDBov9U
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48uBbdARpV
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl71vvoZH9
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaImBZ8ZGIW
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?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP21qKJ6hN
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxbl62SutJ
Theo tried to change the subject. "How is your father doing?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIWTJCay8k
He shrugged. "He's alive, and that's enough."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvat8FZhVr
They stood in silence for several moments.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMctfH8G8I8
"Do you need something?" Chandler asked.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsVbos6JWE
"Yes actually," Theo intended to ask someone else for this favor, but since Chandler was asking, "May I borrow your cellphone?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9sgsmcBoM
He raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNRuvgIBnE
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s0gh0yAEV
"The remainder of your days? Are you dying or something?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2UhroGE8Y
"I'm going to go feral any day now."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH51XWKSDG
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!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWalWUhFuzl
"I have no interest in your personal life."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAEY5cUhnK
That response seemed to satisfy Chandler.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lvkSXMiRY
Theo accepted the phone and dialed his mother's number. He took a few steps away, so Chandler couldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJl808IJ7l
"Who is this?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB70jgHVYw2
"Hi, Mom."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lwSjBtuZu
"Theodore?" Her voice cracked on the other end of the line.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Z2SClNdz
"Yeah, it's me.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AfyJQNuyc
"Please, tell me you're alright! I haven't heard from you since you stopped by the house, and I assumed the worst!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOsgfxJGTN
He sighed. "I'm doing well, physically speaking, anyway."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FW9uQmcLK
There was a long pause, then his mother said. "How much longer do you have?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo4MGHC76B
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8bMSSvJoj
"What? Where will you go?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoiSaz98Jv
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fAi3bJdmg
"I don't know what I'm going to do without you."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxfhd9be3Y
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSmLzkFwEd
"I don't know if I can."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOWco1wQuE
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdJnE2f25o
"It's not your fault, sweetheart."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJImaDAErKl
"I know."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiorWe61N8
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9l8evso3
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1FgoIgiTa
She sighed. "You're right."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDo197wQfp
"I love you, mom."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmndfE5z2c
"I love you too, and I'm going to miss you every single day."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBi19lJkub
After the phone call, Theo returned Chandler's phone. "Thank you for letting me borrow it," Theo said.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8SffIPif
"Well, I never got to say goodbye to my mom. I thought you deserved the chance to goodbye to yours."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEd7jbQpPJ
Theo quirked an eyebrow. "Do you wish you could've said your farewells?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO2DKAGC4o
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXWCCb2wpE
Theo gave an understanding nod.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aVvgI4vr2
"Do you have any plans for your final days?" Chandler asked.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPATnJcjV3
Theo shook his head.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIyTJ4mcLa
"Stay with us. You can be the first Mixedblood member of our pack."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdrCScpEXy
Theo narrowed his eyes. "Is that a serious offer?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatasvGUpgs
Chandler rolled his eyes. "I would have said it if I didn't mean it. My sister would be thrilled to have you around."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL2ixsB2wV
Theo smiled. "I accept your offer."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ871LTSjl24
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfvf0SGzg0
Theo wandered into the woods, where he spotted Heath. He danced around and sang Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGRWxtlCzQ
"Hello, Heath." Theo hollered, causing Heath to startle.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOoKxXO1S9
He laughed awkwardly. "Hey bro, what are you doing out here?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmlIsWDK3G
"Chandler sent me to make sure you weren't consuming and dangerous plants."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIfiF6AGdq
Heath scoffed. "I haven't eaten anything poisonous in a week and a half."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuOVbugWdI
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r7LNCzvfo
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO0SQkBokU
"Is that so?" Theo didn't look up from his book, he was used to Heath's incessant ramblings by now.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmoOcCrRRu
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggcQyGK7W
"Who won?" Theo raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGLw5Pd4Cr
"Definitely the raccoon." He rolled up his sleeve, revealing faint scars that resembled bites and scratch marks. "I got rabies."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuiIH4keET
"Sounds delightful," Theo said in a sarcastic tone.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HayrHiETs
"I haven't even gotten to the good part yet."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQnB2jEzt
"I'm on the edge of my seat." Theo deadpanned.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UfGUXXOP4
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bear82DJX
"I have no idea where you're going with this."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhLl6gJQK0
"Maybe if we give you a blood transfusion, we can stop you from going rabid!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXP3rm5WYd
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnOMD8wxJC
"I might?" He looked shocked. "I thought you were going to tell me it was a stupid idea."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ltMbBNCF
Theo smirked. "I think it's worth a shot."

Rosalind's Epilogue...
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmzRUWaAqQ
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqtfUVJe7j
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJjAa5FvUH
"Hey, sis."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskjuO9pmsN
"Hey," she said hesitantly, not used to being called sis.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8jrJm6m4d
"I wanted to thank you for saving dad. I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost him."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4fjDvD1L9
Rosalind broke away from his grasp. "You're thanking me for killing mom?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvgUcYEZn
He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "That's not what I'm saying."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5R4eoRzaf
She crossed her arms. "That's what it sounds like."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3JrbFo4IX
"Okay, maybe that's what I'm saying."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AIY9snIv4
She threw up her hands in frustration. "You're unbelievable!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPpMuVbtLR
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKnQhWIlNU
"I'm not like you, Chandler."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o2luX5Gj3
"I don't want to fight with you."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUO3qrJXWY
"I don't want to fight with you either." She took a step closer.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEEotZ6u6a
"Can we have a truce?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7crp83Nwhv
She nodded.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduAWW7fcZW
They both sat in the grass beside their mother's gravestone and told each other stories from the years they spent apart.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQS9MEUN0
"Can you do me a favor?" Chandler asked.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWQFNir4ts
She pressed her lips together in a thin line. "What's the favor?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUZ7eR3TBd
"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?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LmHercTeS
"Where are you going?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUz7j107Nb
"We're going to make sure the last of the Wolfsbane is properly disposed of."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yKh1QTgcJ
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR00adjaWH1
Chandler gave a solemn nod and accepted the items. "And you'll take care of dad?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4N6dTN5mW
"Yes, of course."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN0taZnH5b
He smiled. "He's going to be so happy to spend time with you."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXipyiADsb
"He is?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEJcB5SJwk
"Definitely, he adores you."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mEofEONDg
"He doesn't even know me."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ69Md9hJ56
He shrugged. "You're his daughter. It's his job to love you."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QhXOmumwi
Duke walked out of the cabin with two black duffle bags in hand. He threw one to Chandler. "Are you ready to go?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5g9NDcXN6
Chandler rummaged through the duffle bag to make sure everything was present. "I think so."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGvdlz8iob
"You're leaving right now?" Rosalind gaped.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ODkjE7458
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4uJbuesLb
Chandler placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll be back no time."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIX4PrzQqm
"If The Silver Huntsmen don't kill us first. We are still rogue werewolves, after all." Duke said.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z60xzCj1h
Chandler glared in his direction.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dQfNK9feq
"Go." Rosalind encouraged. "I'll look after things here."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVI25U2tf
"No one should come after while we're gone," Duke said. "But just in case, we'll be leaving Heath to protect you."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI9a8IaymT
Rosalind rolled her eyes. "I feel safer already."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBMm82fn4r
Duke tried to suppress a chuckle.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1WdulqxDD
Rosalind glanced around the forest. "Has anyone seen Theo?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbLWKsPXw1
"Oh, your nerd boyfriend? I sent him to go babysit Heath." Chandler said. He turned to Duke. "I invited him to stay with us."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPrqLXjHd8
"What?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqT68ZgqV3
"It's okay he won't be around for long."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k7J7TF9Gy
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVxKl2V2Fy
Chandler gave them a smirk. "Have fun, you two."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma02nZCCoY
"What about me?" Heath pouted.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIkykVxaeL
"Not you, I hope you have an awful time while we're gone," Chandler said.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5coEWkNAX
Duke waved. "Goodbye, Heath."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb48BbQLhWl
"Hey bring me back a souvenir, and get me something from the drive-through on your way home and–"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3a8YIhi1Y
"Shut up Heath!" Chandler shouted as they walked away.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxUvuWGiV7
Rosalind turned to Theo. "I'm sorry about the locket, I don't know what I was thinking."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdThSpLZit
"It didn't work anyway," Theo said.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfxumiD6x7
Rosalind's eyebrows shot up. "What do you mean it didn't work?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHut2of7hDx
It stopped me from turning into a wolf, but it didn't stop me from going rabid."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxSTCBkk8t
Rosalind cupped his face in her hands. "I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could do."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYmax8TYBM
"There might be. What's your blood type?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSZuJJPWBC
"O-"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr07ix0DpC
"The universal donor."A smile spread across his lips. "Are you willing to try an experiment that could save me?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVXlqRWmIA
She gave a firm nod.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlnJ9MQRIw
Chandler & Duke's epilogue...
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn9plLzz3P
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUmhwcCsn3
"Are you concerned?" Chandler asked.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0aYKzwhIe
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7SaaUxoBL
Chandler bumped his shoulder playfully.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19makFGv9b
Duke froze in his tracks. "I smell two werewolves nearby."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5BVcMMj8J
"Anyone, we know?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYuvUksXZH
"One of them is my father." Duke cringed.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWXSBKoyWJ
"No problem, I could kick your dad's ass in a fight."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqO6xfl8MI
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJMntUoNss
"Yeah, I could totally take you down, old man." Chandler clenched his fists and marched towards them.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrZYTiBbK0
Duke jumped in between them. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF9CO2XW86
"We heard the wonderful news!" Pack Mother Regina exclaimed.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnGF27h30W
"Wonderful news?" Duke quirked an eyebrow.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t1aGlpM9j
"The untimely passing of Pack Mother Luna." Pack Father Lydon clarified as he clinked glasses with Pack Mother Regina. "I couldn't stand her."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmScN7GmURs
Regina nodded in agreement. "She was ugly, and I'm glad she's dead." She glanced over at Chandler. "No offense."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUXVgSDILi
"None taken."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLW56Q4nxM
"Is this the only reason you came here?" Duke asked.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOxl2ZBtIK
"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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduXYVUYzpW
Chandler narrowed his eyes. "What's the catch?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiuQIfdZy8
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclH4HqjdkC
Duke nodded. "Fair enough."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1xArWurG3
Pack Father Lydon took one last gulp of his champagne, then shifted into his wolf form. "Goodbye, Duke." Without another word, he sprinted away.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXCzFCSAx
"Give Gregorio my regards," Pack Mother Regina winked before shifting to her wolf form and following him.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnNFmkB78c
Chandler turned to Duke. "I will not be giving the Pack Father her regards."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDbxCS0aDa
Duke laughed. "Me neither."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpM4Jk8vi0
Heath's epilogue...
One month later...
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7PYOnyE1B
"I hate all of you!" Duke shouted.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU85zdIPsuT
"You hate me?" Heath responded. "The person you should be hating is Theo! He's a good-for-nothing cheater!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKHk1HdK1v
"It's not my fault, I'm better than all of you!" Theo defended himself. "I destroyed you fair and square."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlbtYtRzEt
"Fair and square?" Rosalind scoffed. "You betrayed me!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Peq6yFSE
Theo shrugged, "That's life."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXXgFQTroV
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."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRdrQXPcvs
"I don't know what you're talking about," Duke said. "Who the hell just threw a red shell at me!"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AOYHiVWvD
Chandler laughed manically and Duke tackled him.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLecfw5q2SN
Gregorio unplugged the Switch, causing everyone to complain. "I'm not sorry, you all need a moment to calm yourselves."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm2Me0KHO0
Heath jumped up. "Come on, Theo, I'm gonna show how I make gummy worm pizza."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr72IzWtgGc
"Do I have to?" Theo grumbled.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq7OHYxyb9
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhSsteOJqa
"Awww," Heath whined.

"Bummer, I was really in the mood for gummy worm pizza." Rosalind joked.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcvbRYcFuE
Theo kissed her forehead. "I suppose I'll have to order you one."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMQF4mqz4J
She smiled. "You have soft lips."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxihCw197QC
"The better to kiss you with, my dear."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkLHf9zERm
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?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7tZIaVDOH
"Almost everyone I know is in this room," Rosalind said.

"I think Heath should open the door," Chandler said. "He's the most expendable."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAnZGqSNMU
"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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIaBMWVqcN
"It's Halloween?" Heath exclaimed. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4yBwyJDjc
"Because we're grown adults, Heath," Duke responded.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoWw5s3kHg
"Yeah, when you're an adult without children, Halloween is just another day," Chandler added.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9CSeFc67e
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.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPHhmhHTpe
"How should we celebrate?" Rosalind asked.
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvrE8gim0X
"Let's do werewolf stuff," Heath suggested. "The moon is full tonight. It's the perfect night."

Theo stood up. "I'll go with you. I'm going to shift soon anyway."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNJfqkiT1z
"I'll go too." Rosalind cracked her knuckles. "I need more practice moving around in my wolf form."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KUQtCHQh3
Chandler and Duke joined them by the door, "We can't let you guys have all the fun without us."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUXpusCc9w
"Wait for me!" Gran said. It's been too long since I've felt the wind in my fur."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ114NiDAcjJ
Gregorio smiled. "Someone has to make sure you stay out of trouble."
439Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYguGdG7djz
Together, they shifted into their wolf forms and ran off into the night as a family.
