The cabin that Joyce and Dylan Rand were spending their vacation residing in was in a snow-covered atmosphere, but it was bliss to both of them. As Dylan returned to their vacation home, he again gushed over the setting and thanked his wife for choosing such an amazing place to celebrate their 30 years together. "I absolutely love this place," said Dylan. "Thanks so much for suggesting it." "It's the perfect place," replied Joyce. As the couple held hands, Dylan noticed that Joyce's right hand was bandaged. "What happened?" "Oh, it was just a scratch," chuckled Joyce. "Say, could you open the curtains for me?" "Sure, hon," Dylan replied as he walked towards the living room window and opened the curtains. A full moon appeared in the night sky, and while Dylan enjoyed the sight, Joyce removed the bandages from her right hand, which was suddenly clawed and covered with hair. Joyce sprouted more hair on her face, and gave a fang-filled sneer at her husband. "Beautiful, isn't it?" asked Dylan. "Yes," Joyce said with a sinister snarl, "absolutely perfect!" The villainous wolf woman lunged at Dylan and mauled him to death, fulfilling a murderous plot that began after she caught Dylan with another woman. Joyce was bitten by a wolf on that same day, and after her first transformation that night, she realized that she had the power to enact a vicious revenge against Dylan. "Happy anniversary," the evil Joyce snarled before unleashing a sadistic howl at the moon.
