Theo's Epilogue...
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrizYPmi488
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9qnW0JWOD
A few minutes later, Chandler, Duke, and Heath appeared out of the forest clearing. Chandler immediately rushed to Gregorio's side.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20zq5TShaJ
Gregorio reached out a trembling hand and caressed Chandler's cheek. "My son." He whispered, then fell unconscious from the blood loss.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8CJYgfLmx
"What the hell happened here?" Chandler shouted.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMT16ocqyA
"Your Pack Mother is dead," Theo said.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJavMPdvMu
"How?" Duke asked. He seemed to take the news in stride.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSpduHzCvk
Rosalind's cries got louder.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw0C0vJPRA
"I'll tell you later," Theo said. "For now, we should focus on getting medical attention for your Pack Father."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9LqAJ9Pwf
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXAjSL6Grn
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmBTFMHpPN
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWnipv67TN
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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYv3Su7fT8
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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLGJwYm4YK
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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmme2lM6PKL
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?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozy3voazpF
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzLlLm7zCp
Theo tried to change the subject. "How is your father doing?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl8TQCF8pc
He shrugged. "He's alive, and that's enough."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi79YzrODK
They stood in silence for several moments.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgt92HOx3V
"Do you need something?" Chandler asked.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ298s0SsOm4
"Yes actually," Theo intended to ask someone else for this favor, but since Chandler was asking, "May I borrow your cellphone?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZfFo44SVX
He raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtG2O8lz7e
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBkfAW3262
"The remainder of your days? Are you dying or something?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vf4H45yqd
"I'm going to go feral any day now."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOMh0DPuT5
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!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1JrAPl0uE
"I have no interest in your personal life."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx00dJONWP
That response seemed to satisfy Chandler.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lubC5Bkll
Theo accepted the phone and dialed his mother's number. He took a few steps away, so Chandler couldn't eavesdrop on their conversation.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGQ4N2YCz
"Who is this?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsR4Z97oT9
"Hi, Mom."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70a59Zo6L6
"Theodore?" Her voice cracked on the other end of the line.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa8bwFqIyp
"Yeah, it's me.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSevSzlvxk
"Please, tell me you're alright! I haven't heard from you since you stopped by the house, and I assumed the worst!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ99XBMQKGZ
He sighed. "I'm doing well, physically speaking, anyway."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhc1fPijZA
There was a long pause, then his mother said. "How much longer do you have?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQOi0Imut
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyUSYSnhvx
"What? Where will you go?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbngrakvpN
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J001NaoJ8
"I don't know what I'm going to do without you."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2kJkflu7V
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzSRKY5cDj
"I don't know if I can."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWunxITcZWH
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUmMplX1w0
"It's not your fault, sweetheart."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ECfiuzYc
"I know."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQT5BDlzSO
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HWTkK2qdk
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaAL6257vg
She sighed. "You're right."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrW9XkUMHe
"I love you, mom."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSveLEjNnQs
"I love you too, and I'm going to miss you every single day."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ojSgs7MrY
After the phone call, Theo returned Chandler's phone. "Thank you for letting me borrow it," Theo said.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0mbPfhLC9
"Well, I never got to say goodbye to my mom. I thought you deserved the chance to goodbye to yours."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOBq8slHoE
Theo quirked an eyebrow. "Do you wish you could've said your farewells?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zmnZ5HoU8
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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTSPhJI5yU
Theo gave an understanding nod.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Q8wuqR7j
"Do you have any plans for your final days?" Chandler asked.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIebq0iVZsI
Theo shook his head.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH65c2lWps
"Stay with us. You can be the first Mixedblood member of our pack."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbfvLs8zQk
Theo narrowed his eyes. "Is that a serious offer?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQgZFyqGv
Chandler rolled his eyes. "I would have said it if I didn't mean it. My sister would be thrilled to have you around."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqdlyLsuc0
Theo smiled. "I accept your offer."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsuCAOA52F
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoNg3bg3kA
Theo wandered into the woods, where he spotted Heath. He danced around and sang Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQnGG8r0hi
"Hello, Heath." Theo hollered, causing Heath to startle.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCXnO1Adp0
He laughed awkwardly. "Hey bro, what are you doing out here?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoHiLELtmR
"Chandler sent me to make sure you weren't consuming and dangerous plants."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYhWrUkAVr
Heath scoffed. "I haven't eaten anything poisonous in a week and a half."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RGEAuezHl
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcbIzKm61f
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jWo9FBAvt
"Is that so?" Theo didn't look up from his book, he was used to Heath's incessant ramblings by now.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dUhI8D2tA
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVuVNnq7oe
"Who won?" Theo raised an inquisitive eyebrow.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVow39MHepZ
"Definitely the raccoon." He rolled up his sleeve, revealing faint scars that resembled bites and scratch marks. "I got rabies."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbaAzgIXSX
"Sounds delightful," Theo said in a sarcastic tone.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74O7yQbVO0
"I haven't even gotten to the good part yet."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqajNafHod
"I'm on the edge of my seat." Theo deadpanned.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwK0uGF416
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBpxsRLbri
"I have no idea where you're going with this."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KsSRgHWRf
"Maybe if we give you a blood transfusion, we can stop you from going rabid!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfob1p3jVPt
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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOjUsLMeLt
"I might?" He looked shocked. "I thought you were going to tell me it was a stupid idea."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH8q25PkaF
Theo smirked. "I think it's worth a shot."

Rosalind's Epilogue...
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Uo7Wgoop
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKimaS5JReP
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2JipIfkrS
"Hey, sis."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioczZKvXbP
"Hey," she said hesitantly, not used to being called sis.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eqvIyl2To
"I wanted to thank you for saving dad. I don't know what I would've done if I'd lost him."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bBJYM2PcU
Rosalind broke away from his grasp. "You're thanking me for killing mom?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnL2x9u8e4
He rubbed the bridge of his nose. "That's not what I'm saying."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XUV9Qxhwt
She crossed her arms. "That's what it sounds like."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndxKALS41S
"Okay, maybe that's what I'm saying."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWD1dsJnut
She threw up her hands in frustration. "You're unbelievable!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS5qP07Inm
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK7bTQHWmg
"I'm not like you, Chandler."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXxJmn4I9Z
"I don't want to fight with you."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDmVDTUmPK
"I don't want to fight with you either." She took a step closer.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSMEkBPQyb
"Can we have a truce?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16cescYwEP
She nodded.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdyjSXZyr0
They both sat in the grass beside their mother's gravestone and told each other stories from the years they spent apart.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjzFAW6T6
"Can you do me a favor?" Chandler asked.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yaAlgteoA
She pressed her lips together in a thin line. "What's the favor?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6IA37q2rf
"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?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg8zqJTkgV
"Where are you going?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbar28KUXy
"We're going to make sure the last of the Wolfsbane is properly disposed of."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIrqVfjfMo
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGOjADR5rx
Chandler gave a solemn nod and accepted the items. "And you'll take care of dad?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGr1jSTETj
"Yes, of course."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jTH9pNNou
He smiled. "He's going to be so happy to spend time with you."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWrkBAqdVK
"He is?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwwwBHVyC
"Definitely, he adores you."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyOd0SKhfS
"He doesn't even know me."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu0V2Mu6on
He shrugged. "You're his daughter. It's his job to love you."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUz3uuRB0
Duke walked out of the cabin with two black duffle bags in hand. He threw one to Chandler. "Are you ready to go?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOwB3AqYZR
Chandler rummaged through the duffle bag to make sure everything was present. "I think so."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRogr0WCSF
"You're leaving right now?" Rosalind gaped.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FJJz3Odyn
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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrML0iCB0u
Chandler placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll be back no time."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5VmGCSsmQ
"If The Silver Huntsmen don't kill us first. We are still rogue werewolves, after all." Duke said.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT9OiR4nhq
Chandler glared in his direction.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEHNmBxsFe
"Go." Rosalind encouraged. "I'll look after things here."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDD9dr4KUh
"No one should come after while we're gone," Duke said. "But just in case, we'll be leaving Heath to protect you."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB9YExMnlh
Rosalind rolled her eyes. "I feel safer already."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KOZ5kxJFW
Duke tried to suppress a chuckle.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq4BySb2UI
Rosalind glanced around the forest. "Has anyone seen Theo?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ3U0FLbfo
"Oh, your nerd boyfriend? I sent him to go babysit Heath." Chandler said. He turned to Duke. "I invited him to stay with us."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi5qt14ZD2
"What?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRh8Pteic6
"It's okay he won't be around for long."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYDSbW6ZAd
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSpluvEhMW
Chandler gave them a smirk. "Have fun, you two."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp27jdHVzDG
"What about me?" Heath pouted.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPVI9HbduC
"Not you, I hope you have an awful time while we're gone," Chandler said.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1epiwcWkg
Duke waved. "Goodbye, Heath."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixBQAIWIbE
"Hey bring me back a souvenir, and get me something from the drive-through on your way home and–"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAOjqoC3KN
"Shut up Heath!" Chandler shouted as they walked away.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsyih9xIbm
Rosalind turned to Theo. "I'm sorry about the locket, I don't know what I was thinking."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCxln9vAyE
"It didn't work anyway," Theo said.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO0xwxolrR
Rosalind's eyebrows shot up. "What do you mean it didn't work?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0fD61qByR
It stopped me from turning into a wolf, but it didn't stop me from going rabid."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rJLoCOgkh
Rosalind cupped his face in her hands. "I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could do."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E9EwkYYY2
"There might be. What's your blood type?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4mq9A4i74
"O-"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX09YXl4O6O
"The universal donor."A smile spread across his lips. "Are you willing to try an experiment that could save me?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8IFzbig5r
She gave a firm nod.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZVvvIjGyG
Chandler & Duke's epilogue...
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7u72CWjEG
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXKzKf224n
"Are you concerned?" Chandler asked.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0llqPD7oNK
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEZv8WjlOp
Chandler bumped his shoulder playfully.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQNil7jPuQ
Duke froze in his tracks. "I smell two werewolves nearby."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT95QB2iaCn
"Anyone, we know?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG3fqqA22b
"One of them is my father." Duke cringed.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliOK69am2c
"No problem, I could kick your dad's ass in a fight."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzFjXZ7kz7
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox5Sc2ccQ4
"Yeah, I could totally take you down, old man." Chandler clenched his fists and marched towards them.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4ij6bnQ2W
Duke jumped in between them. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODgt9qJ3HD
"We heard the wonderful news!" Pack Mother Regina exclaimed.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1mfjgzfR
"Wonderful news?" Duke quirked an eyebrow.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNOayKYykp
"The untimely passing of Pack Mother Luna." Pack Father Lydon clarified as he clinked glasses with Pack Mother Regina. "I couldn't stand her."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOeCfos1Z9
Regina nodded in agreement. "She was ugly, and I'm glad she's dead." She glanced over at Chandler. "No offense."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQUOhbMvCb
"None taken."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVy7Sn6xI0
"Is this the only reason you came here?" Duke asked.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vd9bte4QN
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3d2daj4O3
Chandler narrowed his eyes. "What's the catch?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmIo9h4dty
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KMoxaWVOw
Duke nodded. "Fair enough."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l4p5NJFLf
Pack Father Lydon took one last gulp of his champagne, then shifted into his wolf form. "Goodbye, Duke." Without another word, he sprinted away.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQAoWlyAZn
"Give Gregorio my regards," Pack Mother Regina winked before shifting to her wolf form and following him.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0lSLzy4HZ
Chandler turned to Duke. "I will not be giving the Pack Father her regards."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNZt3eBSQF
Duke laughed. "Me neither."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CxtaFGfhQ
Heath's epilogue...
One month later...
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Pq7fnUtw
"I hate all of you!" Duke shouted.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOesTs7Oo8
"You hate me?" Heath responded. "The person you should be hating is Theo! He's a good-for-nothing cheater!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe21IWRRc5
"It's not my fault, I'm better than all of you!" Theo defended himself. "I destroyed you fair and square."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgyBZqw8h7
"Fair and square?" Rosalind scoffed. "You betrayed me!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzZT6sSsZR
Theo shrugged, "That's life."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cF3PoqsWP
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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfnKPkLP7H
"I don't know what you're talking about," Duke said. "Who the hell just threw a red shell at me!"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMlnRzI2lA
Chandler laughed manically and Duke tackled him.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QbidjqlCf
Gregorio unplugged the Switch, causing everyone to complain. "I'm not sorry, you all need a moment to calm yourselves."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAYDf0zqfV
Heath jumped up. "Come on, Theo, I'm gonna show how I make gummy worm pizza."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZlq6MWr9C
"Do I have to?" Theo grumbled.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9JEKtOXPe
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoibndpnS9H
"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."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuud8KnAXr
She smiled. "You have soft lips."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lWNj6WLhd
"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?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmclGEDcwK
"Almost everyone I know is in this room," Rosalind said.

"I think Heath should open the door," Chandler said. "He's the most expendable."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pi4PmzpMH
"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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFxsPgBfL7
"It's Halloween?" Heath exclaimed. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51iOTen7ye
"Because we're grown adults, Heath," Duke responded.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AVC9skXVX
"Yeah, when you're an adult without children, Halloween is just another day," Chandler added.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9x6LD4RAF
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.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd78vz3BLw
"How should we celebrate?" Rosalind asked.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCYrqBHyNZ
"Let's do werewolf stuff," Heath suggested. "The moon is full tonight. It's the perfect night."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrL54ix93A
Theo stood up. "I'll go with you. I'm going to shift soon anyway."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwygasDKAa
"I'll go too." Rosalind cracked her knuckles. "I need more practice moving around in my wolf form."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSvJ6eCI20
Chandler and Duke joined them by the door, "We can't let you guys have all the fun without us."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs8lZPiCm2
"Wait for me!" Gran said. It's been too long since I've felt the wind in my fur."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w0asLoGVe
Gregorio smiled. "Someone has to make sure you stay out of trouble."
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHHJO64Nwt
Together, they shifted into their wolf forms and ran off into the night as a family.
