Well… at least BBW won’t be hurting others, I kind of feel bad for Margo, I guess she didn’t know her own strenght but it’s for the best.

@Dr. Oetker Pistazien
Or is that the beast?

A good plan. They say rehab works, but you just can’t trust werwolves around your kids.

As they watched BBW, the long, rough hair changed, as if it was melting, until it looked short and well maintained. The beard vanished, revealing a strong square jaw. Even his clothes altered, taking on the appearance of a well-tailored suit. The figure lifted itself on an elbow, then struggled to it’s feet, straightened it’s tie, and smiled.
“And that,” said Lucius “is where politicians come from.”

Margo is an animal-lover: when all is said and done, there’s not much among living things that she wouldn’t respect. Lucius, however, is more practical in the case of BBW. He did what needed to be done, however unpleasant it might seem.

Assuming the wolf was really a Taker, then it’s not an animal. We don’t know what they are, yet. Conceivably they could have started out as humans, fish or animals and turned into something supernatural under the right conditions. Or they came into this world as fully-formed Takers with human, fish or animal characteristics. Either way, this one wasn’t a were-wolf, he was a Taker with the ability to switch between forms.
Assuming that they really can be killed (and aren’t simply taking a really long time to recover), then we have 2 down and 4 still running (L’Omino and Wolfie dead; Jennie, Jamie, Davey and Rafer alive).

Margo could not have moved had Lucius not gently pushed her. Each step was slow, as if in a dream. Margo felt totally numb, the final sound filled her head, constantly repeating, and her stomach, though empty, strained and cramped as if wanting to eject itself from her. After what seemed like a lifetime, Margo realised they had only travelled a few scant yards. Then, from somewhere behind them, she heard a familiar, now cultured voice.
“That was rude. Now, where were we?”

there qwas a sotry i remembered of how the BBW became a bit good, so maybe the werewolf could have been good.

After the beating Margo gave BBW, Lucius was just performing euthanasia.

“2 down and 4 still running”
Plus the original Taker that stole Rufe and Biff’s identities. We don’t have an ID on that one yet, do we?

“We don’t have an ID on that one yet, do we?”
That’s Rafer Frost, according to Lucius.

She does have a soft spot for wretched beasts.

It’s a little patch next to the pond in the garden.
