Due to the size of this story, it's a PDF file.  If you're not seeing it, click "download."  It's overall a pretty lengthy story and I don't begrudge anyone for not reading the whole thing in one sitting!

This was written for the "Wolves Arting Wolves" theme challenge over at :iconwerewolvesatheart: (info here: July's Theme Challenge - Wolves arting wolves?).

This was good! The ending wasn't quite where I was expecting - or hoping - it would go, but it was enjoyable and believable!

On one hand, I was rooting for Melissa. At first, I really wanted "good things" for her. As the story moved along, I found more and more little things about her that I didn't like. However, I stubbornly continued to hope that she would make good choices and do the "right thing" when it came to that part of the story. I hoped she would change for the better. I hoped she would have a change of heart and come around and be a better person. I hoped she would find happiness and answers to her questions.

As you know, that didn't quite happen.

I was horrified as I watched the trainwreck unfold, but I couldn't look away.

The rapid and jarring conclusion to the story (In a good way!) was a surprise. And the last few paragraphs were great! When Melissa realizes with heart-wrenching clarity just what she'd done and what all was going on with her mother AND with her own situation... very well done! THANK YOU!

I look forward to devouring the rest of your stories in short order and being in a daze for days (heh heh) until I get over it. :^)
