The full moon looked down upon the town of Stoneybridge. At the edge of the town, a teenage girl with ginger hair and blue/green eyes sat at the bottom of a tree. Her name is Shannon Kelly. She had a laptop on her and appeared to be looking at something on the screen. A shadow appeared in front of Shannon.
"Tom, you scared me," Shannon said, once she realised that the shadow was one of closest friends.
"What are you doing out here?" Tom asked as he looked at Shannon's laptop. Tom looked shocked.
"Shannon you didn't. Maddy isn't going to be happy" Tom said.
"It's for research Tom. Maddy doesn't need to know about it" Shannon said.
"She's our friend Shannon," Tom said.
There was a rustling sound in the trees and a twig snapped.
"Erm, Shan. I don't think we are alone anymore" Tom said as two wolfbloods appeared in the clearing.
"Yeah. They look familiar." Shannon said. "Rhydian, Katie?"
The two wolves nodded in return.
"It's Rhydian and Katie," Shannon said.
The two wolves tensed at the sound of another twig snapping.
"They brought friends," Tom said.
Three more wolfbloods appeared. They didn't look friendly.
"I don't think they are friends," Shannon said. "We need to get out of here"
Shannon, Tom and the twins (in their wolf forms) hurried towards Maddy's house. The two humans knew that the only way in was to open the hatch that dropped down into the Smith's den. They worked together to open the hatch and allowed the two wolfbloods to jump in.
"Now what?"Tom asked as he looked at the three wolfbloods approaching them. Tom and Shannon jumped into the den and closed the hatch.
The following morning, Rhydian, Katie, Maddy, her parents, Tom and Shannon all walk outside to see if they could find any sign of the wild wolfbloods.
"There's not much scent," Daniel said.
"The wild wolfbloods didn't stay long" Emma added.
"They had no reason to. They hate the human world. Rhydian and I didn't think they would follow us this far" Katie said.
"Who are they?" Maddy asked as she looked at Rhydian.
"Aran and Meinir are just beta wolves then there is Alric," Rhydian said.
"Who's Alric?" Daniel asked.
"The alpha" Rhydian said as they walked back into Maddy's house. Daniel and Emma started to make breakfast for them all.
"What happened while you were with the wild pack?" Emma asked.
"I broke the rules," Rhydian said.
"What rules?" Emma asked.
"Alric and Rhydian had a bit of a misunderstanding," Katie said.
"It wasn't a misunderstanding, he hated me because I was new and didn't follow the rules," Rhydian said. "That's the same reason that you hated Katie and me"
"Rhydian, Katie we don't hate you," Daniel told them.
"You threw us out of your pack," Rhydian said.
"This has nothing to do with that. It's about why there is a wild alpha male running around our territory." Daniel said.
"We didn't mean for this to happen," Katie said.
"Well done, Mum," Maddy said.
"Maddy, they chose to go with their mother. They come back and bring even more trouble with them. What am I supposed to do? Welcome them with open arms" Emma asked.
"Yes because we are their pack," Maddy said.
"The only left because we found out," Shannon said.
Rhydian and Katie walked out the house and into the woods. A lot had changed since they left and it looked like they would need to do more to earn Maddy's parent's trust again. Outside the twins stopped walking.
"Rhydian, we need to stop and think about this," Katie said.
"What's there to think about?" Rhydian asked.
"Alric is still out there looking for you," Katie said.
"I know, Katie," Rhydian said.
"Rhydian, Katie" Maddy called. The twins turned around.
"Don't worry about us. We will leave" Rhydian said.
"You have nowhere to go," Maddy said. "Come back to the house"
"Maddy has a point, Rhydian," Katie said.
"Your parent's don't want us there" Rhydian added.
"I think its because they're scared that you're not telling us everything," Maddy told him. "But you know what. I don't care. Maybe you two did some bad things out there? Who cares. All I care about is the two of you"
"Ok, we will come back but what are we going to about social services," Katie said.
"Let's talk to my Mum and Dad" Maddy suggested as they made their way back to the house.
Daniel and Emma stood in the kitchen and looked up when they walked in. Tom and Shannon sat at the table eating breakfast.
"Ok, first we need to make some calls to social services and the Vaughns" Emma said.
"No, you can't ring social services, they will send us to a home," Rhydian said.
"Don't worry, there are people that we can talk to in that department, wolfbloods that work with the authorities, they can solve problems that we can't?" Daniel said.
"Wait, like a wolfblood mafia", Tom said sounding excited. Shannon looked at him.
"Frist we need to get Tom and Shannon home so they can change for school," Emma said.
Bradlington High.
Daniel and Emma sorted everything out and the twins had a cover story. The school had no problem with the twins returning and said they looked forward to welcoming them back.
Rhydian and Katie walked into the school sports hall, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up.
"Rhydian, Katie," Katerina said. "Where have you two been?"
"There was a misunderstanding with our foster placement but we are back now," Katie said.
"That's a shame," Jimi said.
"Yeah, it is," Katie said. "Why are you wearing your Pajamas? Is there a Pajama party that we didn't know about"
"No, it's Judo," Jimi said.
"That's for kids," Katie said.
"Ok, let's see if you can grab me like Kay did," Jimi said.
"Game on," Katie said as she put her bag down and joined Jimi on the matt.
Katie stood with her feet about and watched Jimi. When she saw that he was grinning at his friends, she took her chance and grabbed him. Jimi looked shocked as Kaite put him back down on the floor.
"Told you," Katie said.
"Wow, Katie. That was impressive" Kara said.
"Thank you," Katie said.
After Lunch Rhydian and Katie found themselves walking into Mr Jeffries history class.
"Hurry up, Rhydian and Kaite" Mr Jeffries said. "You're already three months late. Let's not make it worse"
"Sorry sir," Katie said.
"Ok, let's continue with our lesson on World War 1"
Katie started to make notes while Rhydian stared into space.
