set after series 2, enjoy...
The full moon conceals it's self by thick vapour. The moon like a pearl in the thick sky, it's glow lighting up the forest below, and other parts too...
A pack of hungry wolves charge at its prey, a grey medium wolf with a red tinge leads the pack acknowledging they have gone to far. A small brown wolf nudges the Alpha, and the pack begins to howl in the moonlight, the tranquil woods sway in the ferocious wind. Suddenly, fearsome barking rings in their sensitiveness ears, without hesitation the pack begin to bolt to their own territory as the enemy gets closer and closer...
(meanwhile)
Rhydian lays solemnly in the cold vulnerable tunnels that still haunt his days. His heart aches for his Alpha, Maddy. Rhydian howls desperately but no answer comes. The wolfblood rests his pounding head for yet another night of loneliness. Another night without his Maddy.
By dawn, Rhydian rouses from his light sleep, knowing he has to get ready for another day of questions and school. Rhydian leaves the Smith's decrepit cottage and sprints off into the woods, the only thing that makes him feel calm is the woods, but it still hurts Rhydian, knowing he can't run with Maddy, although he still insists he is the faster out of the two to his best human friends, Shannon and Tom. Rhydian halts by his and Maddy's tree, his eyes filling up with salty tears. Rhydian sits by it, and closes his eyes, just thinking of the good old days.
(meanwhile)
Maddy wakes up from her heavy sleep, pain stabs at her arm as last night events cripple and haunt her. Maddy stands, wobbling slightly, remembering she is still in the wild, raw meat again. Maddy strolls to Jana's cave, concern digging into her mind. Jana walks out of the cave, tears streaming down her flustered face. Maddy hugs her best friend comfortingly. They break away, looking distraught.
"I messed up Maddy." Jana cries.
"No, you didn't, none of us knew what was going to happen Jana. Don't blame yourself, Ceri isn't and that's good." Maddy softly says.
Over the last two months Jana and Maddy have become best friends, Maddy was born to rule like Jana, and they have helped each other's pain too...
"Try saying that to the rest of the pack. "
"What do you mean? I thought they like you?" Maddy responds.
"I heard them, they don't want me as an Alpha any more. I can't even do anything now." Jana splutter.
"Yes you can. You can pull yourself together and help the pack healers sort out Bryn. You are not giving up on the pack, not now and not ever." Maddy orders firmly.
"Your'e right, thanks Maddy."
Jana nods and strides off. Maddy sighs, she saunters over to a shattered looking Ceri. Maddy nods her head gravely, and ceri does the same.
"How are you Ceri?" Maddy asks maturely.
"Tired, but I don't care, I care about my cub now. "
"I'm sure he will be OK, the pack healers are talented,It is their specialty."
"But what happens if he, you know. Can you do something for me?" Ceri pleads. Maddy nods her head eagerly.
"Find my boy, your Alpha. Please get Rhydian." Ceri mutters.
Without a word, Maddy sprints off her heart filling up with joy but pain. Too many things were on in Maddy's mind, whether Rhydian would still love Maddy, or if Bryn will be OK. Her arm is excruciating and read through her school shirt but she won't worry everyone else. What if Rhydian had forgotten her?
A few hours later Maddy arrives at the derelict school panting slightly. The female wolfblood removes some leaves out of her hair and hurries off to find him. But Maddy stops in her tracks, as she sees her beautiful (?!) Alpha come bounding towards her. Rhydian stops, uncertainty rippling in the daylight.
"Maddy, I have missed you so much." Rhydian licks his dry cracked lips, as he notices her gleaming eyes, and her glimmering hair.
"Same here Rhydian. "
"I still love you." They both announce at the same time, their stupidity is making the ambiance smooth.
Maddy grins as she is enveloped in Rhydian's arms. Maddy smells his sweet scent, finding it hard to breath,, not thinking it is real. After being a part to halves are together again. Happiness fills their minds, both of the wolfbloods couldn't stop smiling. They break apart, but their gaze still fixed on each other, not being able to look hearts beating faster and faster. Their lips met, love burned within the kiss, and exploded like electricity. They entwine their fingers together and break away looking into each others eyes.
"Rhydian I've got bad news." Maddy says.
Before any questions can be asked, Maddy is greeted by the 3'ks and Jimi and Sam, all of them smirking dubiously.
"Oh look, isn't it the beast itself! Run for your lives!" Jimi badgers. Maddy growls, starting to become very angry.
"Shut up Jimi!" Rhydian fires.
"OK, but what I want to know -why did you leave Maddy?" Jimi says casually. Maddy nudges Rhydian, her head going blank.
"Maddy had to go to visit her family in Devon, Mike and Laura's -for personal reasons." Rhydian lies.
"What's that then? An exploding sewer?" Kara jokes, everyone laughs except two. All smelling the dried mud and blood.
"Where's Liam?" Maddy demands.
"We don't know, he's such a looser. Why should we care for an idiot who made us look like idiots?" Sam replies bitterly.
"Yeah." Katrina adds, everyone looks at her oddly.
"Yeah?" Maddy shakes her head, indicating for Katrina to carry on.
"What? I meant yeah, I felt like saying that!" Everyone groans, not surprised.
"Comon you lot, lets go and torment some year sevens, I hear they go to the badger club!" Jimi roars, everyone cheers, leaving Maddy and Rhydian.
"Don't worry Mads you haven't missed a lot, just some bullying, and joking, nearly killing Liam -nothing much!" Rhydian chirps, Maddy laughs dryly and looks at the dull ground.
"What's happened?" Rhydian whispers. Maddy looks at her Alpha with agony in her eyes.
"Yesterday, Bryn was attacked by another pack, we accidentally went in their territory. We don't know if he will make it." Maddy mutters. Rhydian's faces crumples, but he manages to nod.
"Which pack was it Mads?" Rhydian says in a hushed tone.
"Alrics new but old pack. He came back to Jana's pack after they started to hurt innocent people. I'm sorry." Maddy says in a hushed tone.
"Hey Maddy!" Two great voices ring in Maddys ear, the voices she thought she would never hear again. Maddy turns around to see Shannon and Tom smiling, and trying to run towards them.
"Shan, Tom!" Maddy calls. They all hug, feeling like a pack once again.
"What are you doing here?" Shannon questions, as they gather around the two wolfbloods.
"Bryn's been hurt." Rhydian whispers.
"What your little brother Bryn?" Tom says.
"Yeah." Rhydian's voice breaks. The pack goes quiet.
"We need to go to the wild again." Maddy confirms. Suddenly Jana comes rushing towards them, breathing really hard.
"Jana, what's happened?" Tom says nearly shrieking with excitement. Jana looks at everyone, bewildered.
"Nothing, I thought I could take you and Shannon to the pack whilst Maddy and Rhydian run there."
Rhydian shoves his hands in his pockets, feeling a surge of anger rippling through his veins. Maddy steps out in front, telling Rhydian to ignore Jana until he has calmed down. Rhydian grits his teeth.
"Good idea Jana. How is the pack?" Maddy asks.
"Not good, they still hate me.I heard them say that they are going to get rid of me when Bryn recovers." Jana gulps ferociously, a lump forming at the back of her sand paper like throat. Rhydian growls, anger filling him up.
"If he recovers, no thanks to you Jana!" Barks the male wolfblood.
"Good you still have energy from last night Rhydian."Maddy mocks.
"Yeah well it was a cool full moon, but now I just think of how my little brother got attacked!" Rhydian remarks. Maddy rolls her eyes.
"Bye Mads, good luck." Shannon directs her eyes towards Rhydian who is still glaring at a guilt ridden Jana.
"Yeah you'll need it." Tom adds, Maddy laughs.
"See you later OK?" Maddy smiles, her heart burning with despair.
The pack nod sadly and Maddy mouths sorry to Jana before she and her Alpha dart back to the 'frozen North'.
"Jana it's not your fault you know. Rhydian's just upset that's all." Tom soothingly says, as he rests his cold hand on her boiling shoulder.
"Right, how are we going to go to the wild, I mean we just can't walk there, it wouldn't be fair on you two." Jana exclaims.
"Ah you forget I am a genius!" Shannon says excitedly.
"No you're not, you are a new type of nerd that's all." Tom says earning a hit on the arm.
"So how do we get there then?" Jana yawns.
"The bikes of course, simple and fast." Shannon cries.
Liam watches them attentively fury swelling up in his stomach, his eye throbs after being hit by Jimi. Again, as the voice of Jimi shouting those werewolves should have eaten him - cuts him up. Liam strides out of the school, the only place where he can find answers. Liam charges towards Whitewoods lab in minutes. Liam pushes the door to be greeted by security, they step away when they see the boy, looking rather guilty. The unfortunate 15-year-old races up the gritty step, and goes further into the building. Soon he notices the two doors, separating him and the truth. Liam grins knowing he should have came here ages ago. The desolated lab is turned over for some reason, and fear strikes Liam, but he verges on. Liam opens the little lab office that he has been in countless numbers of time but this time it felt different. The stench of blood fills Liam's nose, and there she is. Rebecca Whitewood lies unconscious, a pool of thick blood next to her. The truth is stripped away from him, and numbness fills his heart. Whitewood was the only Mother figure he ever had, and now someone has taken that away from him too. Dead. A short scream puts Liam back into reality and his head perks up to see a ragged girl about his age, smothered in blood grinning maliciously.
"WHO ARE YOU!" Liam bellows, shaking uncontrollably.
"Mandy." The girl says a blank expression on her face, before darting off.
All Liam thinks is one name, that will have the truth, and he will have revenge on. One name that will always be there and how he would like to uncover the secret and show the world. One name.
Maddy Smith (two but still).
