"What did she do mama?" I'd asked timidly.
"Dear, she tore through the village and shed innocent blood. The white coat that shone so beautifully was stained in the lives she took that day, her mouth full of the cloth of gold and belly full of the food she stole. Music played no more, and childrens voices were silenced forever. This is what happens when the Mother Wolf comes. The wealthiest and kindest are slaughtered out of greed. A Mother Wolf cannot be tamed, and we pray everyday the Moon Goddess does not send one to us."
Now I knew such stories were told to keep kids from behaving badly. If we acted out, our parents would threaten to send the Mother Wolf on us. They were dangerous, uncontrollable. And it was just the type of fear I needed to get rid of Lily. I'd have to plan it carefu
