Epilogue…

"Ian, where are those keys?" I shouted through the many rooms of our house.

"Love, I've told you already! They were in your hand two seconds ago!" I heard him yell.

"Ugh!" I shouted, entirely frustrated.

I felt a tug on my shirt.

"Mommy?" A tiny voice said.

"What?" I said a bit harshly and immediately regretted it. "I'm sorry, sweetie. What do you need?"

A pair of amber orbs stared up at me. "I'm hungry."

I sighed. "Logan, you are going to have to go the kitchen and get yourself a snack. Mommy's a bit busy right now."

Logan crossed his arms and pouted. I almost laughed out loud. He looked exactly like his father.

"Then I'll make Daddy get me one," he said, huffing in his four-year-old voice. "Daddy!"

Ian walked into the room, running a hand through his already-tousled hair and holding a stack of papers. "What is it, Logan?"

"I want a snack," Logan insisted.

"You can get one," Ian said.

"But…" Logan widened his eyes and stuck out his bottom lip. "I'm hungry…"

I gave Ian a look that said "If you give into this, I swear…"

Ian sighed in defeat. "Alright, Logan, what do you want? Come with me," Ian said.

I shook my head as Logan followed Ian into the kitchen.

"Mommy!"

My shoulders slouched. "What is it, dear?"

"I need to show you something!"

Our seven-year-old daughter came sprinting out of her room with enough energy to put Dan to shame. Her glossy, black hair bounced as she halted to a stop in front of me. Her jade eyes fluttered when she waited for me to speak.

"What's so important?" I asked.

"I want Daddy to see me, too!" she exclaimed, waving her arms around frantically.

"Ian! Caroline wants to show us something!" I yelled, and Ian came strolling into the room.

"Mommy! Daddy! Watch this!" Caroline said.

As I saw what she was doing, my breath left me and lots of old memories came rushing back.

"Oh no…" Ian muttered as he gazed in awe.

I looked at my beautiful daughter who was now a midnight-black wolf with sparkling, jade eyes. She howled for effect. Caroline began to change back and she gave us a proud grin. I shot a terrified glance to Ian, but he looked like he was stuck in shock. Caroline spun around and smiled once more.

"So…can I stay home from school today?"
