"Cmon papa, can't we read just one more book? Pretty please?"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bm1xSxWac
"But we've already read ten tonight."

The small child gave his father a pleading look.
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTRkapvlhD
"I think it's time for you to get some rest."
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQz9gjcoK0
He let out a disappointed whimper. "Okay."
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNA0fXnm7f
"Good night, Theo."

"Papa, what will happen if I lose control again?"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfhnAoZNf7
The father lovingly stroked his son's hair. "All werewolves lose control sometimes,"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhBURIcRbL
"Even you?"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXvN5Mz3dC
"Even me. Don't worry, I'm going to teach you everything I know. You'll have your transformations under control in no time!"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18ver7Avwt
"You promise?"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlKcU00gqO
"I promise."

They were startled by a loud pounding on their front door. "We know you're in there! Open up!"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GTOQpsqDS
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?"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jmn1ys2eb
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.

"That's ridiculous!"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsQsNDZobi
"Is it?"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtweM7l5KjR
"You need to leave." His father stated firmly.
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGBYosAm26
"Randel Lovell, it's taken us a very long time to find you. I can't believe you actually thought you could run away."
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2XLt9PUbR
"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."
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBlyE27zNr
"I've heard enough!" His father growled.
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOZivg9G44
"This is your last chance. Tell us where the cub is hiding!"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fR1SW8XKV
"Over my dead body!"
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zLHgvWn36
"Very well then."
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6UjHvTssG
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."
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PBsOodlDi
"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.
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVgVadyRM5
Theo tried to be still, but he couldn't stop trembling.
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV13prZWNvg
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.
