Rolling his eyes, Mitch began stomping loudly to get the children’s attention. “Frankenstein’s the big monster,” said a little girl. With a sigh, he got up off the living room couch, picked up the giant bowl of candy, and then walked to the front door, slowing his pace and making his steps jerky as he neared. Through the large picture window at the front of the house, Mitch could see their eyes widen with interest. “I am a doctor,” he said to the children as he crouched down to their eye level. “Nothing to be sorry for.” Frederick waved her off casually. “We don’t touch people.” She looked up at Frederick from underneath her lashes, keeping her head respectfully lowered. “Billy!” The cub’s mother rushed forward and dragged him aside. “See, he has a doctor uniform.” He tugged on Frederick’s white lab coat as he spoke. “Who’re you dressed as, Alpha?” asked the latest princess to grace Frederick’s doorstep. “Happy Halloween.” He opened the door and smiled down at the young ones crowded on the mat. “We’re coming!” Frederick hustled to the front door of the Alpha house, his white lab coat billowing behind him.
