"Cmon papa, can't we read just one more book? Pretty please?"
149Please respect copyright.PENANA0PVfiMwqil
"But we've already read ten tonight."

The small child gave his father a pleading look.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAnOax5CsISo
"I think it's time for you to get some rest."
149Please respect copyright.PENANAWWFXxGF1iF
He let out a disappointed whimper. "Okay."
149Please respect copyright.PENANA3CraS4KiJf
"Good night, Theo."

"Papa, what will happen if I lose control again?"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAeGN2Lax5zm
The father lovingly stroked his son's hair. "All werewolves lose control sometimes,"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAhOBsP8UFkd
"Even you?"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAmSLWkn1BBW
"Even me. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything I know. You'll have your transformations under control in no time!"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAisynBcgVVt
"You promise?"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAwdRRCAfJIg
"I promise."

They were startled by a loud pounding on their front door. "We know you're in there! Open up!"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAn3blA050xT
His father's face went serious. "I need you to listen very carefully. I need you to hide under the bed and don't make a sound until I say so. Do you understand?"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAso76TDBxLk
He nodded. Dust clung to his clothes as he crawled under the bed. It was so dark he could hardly see anything.

"You can't just demand to search our house without a warrant!" Theo's mother shouted from the other room.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAfd78YpkVKj
"As a matter of fact, we can, Mrs. Lovell. The Silver Huntsmen have a reason to believe there are rogue werewolves living in your home," said a woman's voice he didn't recognize.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAzxBLJfKOT3
"That's ridiculous!"
149Please respect copyright.PENANA5knqVSIAW4
"Is it?"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAKQZrC6V6yc
"You need to leave." His father stated firmly.
149Please respect copyright.PENANA9V0xdEOx2S
"Randel Lovell, it's taken us a very long time to find you. I can't believe you actually thought you could run away."
149Please respect copyright.PENANA2xw5pdEYLG
"Listen, We're not hurting anyone out here. Please, just leave us alone. We won't cause any trouble."
149Please respect copyright.PENANAIxobz3kUKq
"Which one of you is going to be the one to shoot the cub when it goes rabid? Yes, we know you have Mixedblood cub. You know you're going to have to put it down sooner or later. We're here to make the job easier for you."
149Please respect copyright.PENANA66yEZ2qt3O
"I've heard enough!" His father growled.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAF74oAVzJw6
"This is your last chance. Tell us where the cub is hiding!"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAVgd3bL3rOC
"Over my dead body!"
149Please respect copyright.PENANAN9aq1GP8c2
"Very well then."
149Please respect copyright.PENANAxH6NAH49fW
Theo never knew how loud the sound of gunshots were until he heard them followed by his mother's sobs, on that fateful night. "Pack Father Gregorio, search the house for the cub. We'll secure the perimeter to make sure it doesn't escape."
149Please respect copyright.PENANAHb46BBd3ia
"Yes, ma'am." The man's footsteps got louder and louder. "What a waste of a Pureblood," the man muttered to himself as he left the room his father's body was resting.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAObEcKZE6pg
Theo tried to be still, but he couldn't stop trembling.
149Please respect copyright.PENANAMaLiMiejiK
The man ripped the blankets off the bed. His shoes were now visible from Theo's hiding place. He was forced to watch in horror as the man picked up the bed, leaving Theo completely exposed. He stared at him with malice in his eyes and pointed a gun right at his face. Theo couldn't do anything but sit there, completely petrified, unable to breathe. His eyes began to fill with tears.

His hand shook as he placed his finger on the trigger. He just stood there with the gun in his shaky hands for an eternity. He slowly lowered the gun. He dialed someone on his phone. "The cubs not in here. He must have escaped somehow. I'll meet you at the rendezvous point." Without another word the man turned and left. Leaving Theo all alone in the dark and empty room.
