Epilogue

ONE MONTH LATER . . .

"I told you she'd be back," Grand said in a triumphant tone.

"Mark my words. You jes' lucky you was able to get back in

your car real sneaky and come home after she went to sleep.

But you mighta made both of you al sleep better if you would

But you mighta made both of you al sleep better if you would

have trusted her to not hold your condition against you,

especial y after saving her life. She would have let you stay,

but what do I know? I'm an old lady."

"Grand!"

"I'm not tel ing tales out of school, she real y has taken a

shine to you." Grand raised her eyebrows and continued

working on her peach cobbler. "Some things are jus' natchel

at y'al 's age."

"She's bringing her brother . . . and I wanna pass his

inspection," Justin said, changing the subject. "I don't want

him to think I'm dogging his sister."

"So now you're making jokes at your own expense," Grand

said, chuckling and shaking her head.

"You know what I mean, Grand . . . C'mon."

"Al right, al right," she said, waving him away. "You'l do

fine--you don't judge him, he won't judge you . . . and he knows

what you are. She told him."

Justin closed his eyes with a groan.

"Everything is fine . . . Ain't been no kil ings lately here this

last month."

He stopped and stared at his grandmother. "Why not,

Grand?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention that I locked them other wolves up in

their swamp shack, the whole den . . . By now, they probably

turned on each other. Serves 'em right. Sorry I didn't get that

she- devil, too . . . Woulda saved you kids the trouble."
