Argh! The recollection/revelation that Arthur is Annette's Uncle is causing story issues. Either I have to break that relationship - which I don't particularly want to do because it is the best support of reason for Rosemary being taken into the werewolf community before she first changes into one - or I have to make a significant change elsewhere.
The option I'm leaning the most towards is making Arthur wolf-blooded instead of a werewolf. In Rosemary's original character history that's what her father was. I made him a werewolf for this story because at the time it was a better concept for what I was writing for the contest. But I like how it's been working out so far.... Argh!
If I leave Arthur a werewolf, then I think for this story I have to make it he who Rosemary watches get killed on "The Night". But then that likely ruins the reason she so willingly accepts Jonathan as her new caretaker/mentor (a scene I have yet to post here). If she's taken under the wing by a non-family member as a child, one specific person teaching and guiding her for most of her life, then when that person is killed it's natural to look for another to fill that place in her life. And it is crucial Rosemary accepts and trusts Jonathan.
If I leave in the mentor (HHH/Alpha), then what's the reason he takes over looking after Rosemary's growth and education in the werewolf community when her own father is a werewolf?
*sighs* Any advice?
