The Vampire Queen tested fear. Now the Werewolf King tests anger. Caleb is sober. Caleb is in love. And Caleb is furious — and he doesn't know why.
The second card in Pumpkin's Hearty Deck is awake. The Werewolf King glows yellow in the dark, and something inside Caleb is growing. Jealousy. Rage. A heat in his blood that feels exactly like the old craving for a drink.
Cora sees it happening. The tight jaw. The clenched fists. The sharp words he catches just before they leave his mouth. She knows what anger looks like — her father taught her that. But Caleb is not her father. Caleb pours the bottle down the drain. Caleb calls a friend. Caleb walks to the forest instead of the liquor store.
The Werewolf King doesn't care. The card wants a fight. And the wolf inside Caleb is howling.
Meanwhile: Sienna's mother arrives in Pumpkerville — and three phrases of terrible Korean melt everyone's heart. Tessa and Luke have their first real fight, and Tessa learns that an argument doesn't have to mean the end. And Caleb finally faces the inheritance he never wanted: his father's rage.
"The wolf doesn't die. You learn to walk with it."
