Wolf, en Garde

What choice do I have? It’s not like he’d see things my way if I was upfront and open about any of this. What am I supposed to do? Should I try saying, Hey, Dad, I can’t stand living in Wolf anymore. As a matter of fact, I’m going to shrivel up and die if I have to. Besides, I met this vampire dude who wants to take over mankind…and have I mentioned that he fucks like a goddamn animal?

Mrs. Connor fluttered at the air with one hand. “Of course. Lyle, of coursehe does. You two talk. I’ll stay out of it.” She offered them both a bright smile. “You know where I am if you come to a decision that needs my assistance.”


She left the room. Vaughn spent a long time staring at his coffee until the silence got too heavy for Lyle to handle. “Can I get you a fresh one of those? That must be ice cold by now.”
