I double checked the house in Vince's pack was still secure. I could tell that someone had been trying to get in. There were boot prints on the front door, and cracks in the glass door. Thank you for werewolf proof glass. I used a little magic to fix the glass door and then I reenforced the house before I sealed my bedroom and closet doors.

She smiled, but I watched it slip away. "You promise you will be careful? Even when it's all done?"
