"Cmon papa, can't we read just one more book? Pretty please?"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ079tRNJ99h
"But we've already read ten tonight."

The small child gave his father a pleading look.

"I think it's time for you to get some rest."
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncZZEYRCb9
He let out a disappointed whimper. "Okay."
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk90J6hiee
"Good night, Theo."

"Papa, what will happen if I lose control again?"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvMXD0dsUR
The father lovingly stroked his son's hair. "All werewolves lose control sometimes,"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lbv5bU3hr
"Even you?"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjM0PtFjk
"Even me. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything I know. You'll have your transformations under control in no time!"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0o4Vko6s
"You promise?"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEh29xed8A
"I promise."

They were startled by a loud pounding on their front door. "We know you're in there! Open up!"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpgMQslwnk
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?"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aqSoNsgcY
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.

"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.
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4L3XvzrWF
"That's ridiculous!"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzT39u8GbY
"Is it?"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEC1GZgCG2
"You need to leave." His father stated firmly.
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VlVUq752G
"Randel Lovell, it's taken us a very long time to find you. I can't believe you actually thought you could run away."
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmckLXRE5o0
"Listen, We're not hurting anyone out here. Please, just leave us alone. We won't cause any trouble."

"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."
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUk47DFF64
"I've heard enough!" His father growled.
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ192qOw30FG
"This is your last chance. Tell us where the cub is hiding!"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcXwpqhXN5
"Over my dead body!"
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxBBUyyyT8
"Very well then."
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBRtUROvBN
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."
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqT9Q5MjQ9
"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.
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaRuXtNViA
Theo tried to be still, but he couldn't stop trembling.

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.
