Chapter 1: Pack From The Wrong Side Of The Track:

sniff,sniff,sniff Maddy Smith and Rhydian Morris were sitting together in history class when Mr Jeffries walked in with a rather beautiful young lady who seemed to know what she was doing "is it just me or do we know her from somewhere ?" Maddy whispered so only Rhydian could hear (or so she thought), "quite right Maddy, we have met before, do you remember how we met?" Amber asked her voice gentle and soft, "um, I think it was during the middle of summer when you came down to the camp to discuss something with KC and Patsy" Maddy answered with a confident smile. "Quite right,good memory Maddy" Amber said smiling back, careful not to show her fangs. " OK class this is Amber Martins, she is your new history teacher, she'll be here for the rest of the year, so please show some respect" Mr Jeffries explained in a gentle voice. "Yes Sir" the class said in unison.

"OK guys, I want you to turn to the person next to you and brain storm some things that may have happened in the 18th century, 1700's for those of you who look confused, also there's a prize for the pair or group that get all or most of the facts right" Amber explained, the whole class got really excited and wondered about the prize and what it would be, Maddy and Rhydian begun working on the task and came up with plenty of really interesting facts, well most of what Amber told them last summer which could be considered cheating but who the hell cares, it's not like she was telling them then and there. "Too easy, seriously we've got this prize in the bag" Rhydian whispered with that cocky smile Maddy fell in love with, she blushed a bright shade of red when he caught her looking at him smiling like a Cheshire cat, he gave her a peck on her bright red cheek making her blush more and the whole class laugh. "Ahem, not in the classroom Mr Morris" Amber said trying not to chuckle herself, "sorry Amber, I'll remember that next time" Rhydian said apologetically. Ring, ring, ring the bell went and the classroom erupted like a volcano as students rushed to hand up their sheets and rushed out the door to get lunch from the cafeteria.

"I have a little surprise for you under our tree in the woods" Rhydian whispered in Maddy's ear before giving it a little nibble causing her to giggle softly, then the door flew open and Shannon and Tom walked in "oh sorry we didn't realize you were in here" Tom explain trying to hide his laughter while looking over at Shannon who isn't having much luck hiding hers "that's OK Tom we weren't doing anything too explicit" Maddy said blushing bright red "sure you weren't" Jana teased walking in the door and getting a balled up scarf ditched at her by Maddy who sat in Rhydian's lap, his arms were around her waist and his chin rested on her shoulder, Shannon giggled "seriously, get a room you two" Maddy just mock punched her friend in the arm laughing loudly with her "well we did have until we were so rudely interrupted" she answered Shannon giggling loudly.

Suddenly a loud bang came from one of the science labs, "oh no BJ and Rain got into the science equipment again" Maddy yelled down the hall to Amber who just turned on her heels and sped off in a really bad mood. "You two are in big trouble when I find you" Amber yelled furiously at both her son and daughter who were attempting to make a break for it, only to discover their path blocked by their father. "Amber get Maddy and Rhydian, they're here and they want both of them to meet them in the forest at noon" Bray explained while he kept his mischievous children from doing another runner. Meanwhile in the photography dark room Maddy, Rhydian, Jana, Tom and Shannon were still going on about how lovey dovey Maddy and Rhydian were, when Amber entered the room "my husband, Bray came here with a message for you two from Patsy and KC, they want you to meet them in the forest at noon don't know why?" She explained getting an icky feeling.

"You mean the pack from the wrong side of the track is in town" Jana said fear sparking in her eyes, Maddy started growling, eyes flashing yellow and black veins showing "Maddy calm down that's just what the wild wolfbloods call Patsy and KC's pack and a lot of stories and myths have been passed from pack to pack, most untrue but there are some with little truth in them" Rhydian explained so that Maddy would calm down a bit, "before anyone says anything we didn't really have a choice in joining the pack, you see the first time we met them I was heavily pregnant with Ellie and it was because of that we joined" Maddy explained while holding out a picture of her and Rhydian with two young girls in their arms "who is the other girl?" Shannon asked Maddy gave a small smile and answered "that's our youngest, Lily she's 1 and a half years she'll be 2 in 2 days."

Meanwhile in the forest "where are they, they've got to be around here some where?" A female wolfblood said sounding concerned, "yeah, they seemed scared, you think somethings up?" a younger wolfblood said sounding concerned as well. "There's definitely something up and I think it's got some thing to do with the hunters camped close by" the female explained, "mum do you think we could ask them if they need any help?" the younger wolfblood said, his mother took his hand and led him toward town.

"Mum what are you doing here?" Rhydian said embracing his mother and then his brother, "we came to see if you needed any help?" Ceri explained smiling at her eldest son before embracing Maddy "I'm so sorry for everything" she said apologetically and Maddy smiled and said "all is forgiven." All of a sudden Jana spotted men in black with hunting rifles in their hands 'hunters' she mouthed "probably why Patsy and KC came to town, they were chased" Maddy said tears welling in her eyes looking at Rhydian who just nodded " the kids should be safe they're with the pack down at the old summer camp north through town and it's pretty hard to get into" Rhydian explained before CRACK! a gun shot went off crashing through the window and into Maddy's neck.

"MADDY NOO!" Rhydian yelled as he cradle his mate in his arms.
