Jana looked up at the wall with its different coloured ropes hanging off of it. When Shannon and Tom had said they were going climbing, she thought they meant going to the woods to climb a few trees. Like any other wild wolfblood, she had learnt how to climb as soon as she could walk. But the human way of climbing looked complicated and if Jana was being completely honest (she would have never let the pack know of course) she was a little afraid of heights.

She watched as Tom and Shannon began to climb and followed them grabbing at the handholds and footholds. It wasn't too much different from climbing trees, she thought, in fact it was a little bit easier- the wall had been designed for climbing. She caught up to her friends in a matter of minutes.

"Stop showing off," Tom said jokingly, as he tried unsuccessfully to grab at a handhold to the left of him.

"That's wolfbloods for you," Shannon said, as she climbed past him.

"I'm not showing off," Jana argued, "I just learnt to climb when I was very young."

"I never thought your father would have taught you how to climb," Tom replied, "I thought wolfbloods wouldn't need to know that kind of stuff."

"My father didn't teach me," Jana answered, "Rhydian did?"

"What do you mean Rhydian taught you?" Shannon asked.

"We grew up in the same pack," Jana clarified, "Our parents were best friends."

"Oh, yeah," Shannon replied, "I never realised that before."

"I wonder what Rhydian was like as a toddler," Tom mused.

"He was a nightmare apparently," Jana answered, "Always getting on my father's nerves. But he was only ever nice to me, always looking after me. We were best friends."

"It must have been difficult when he was taken into care," Shannon began tactfully; "It sounds like you two were really close."

"He wasn't on his own originally," Jana replied, "But yes, it was difficult, especially for Ceri and Bryn."

"What do you mean he wasn't on in his own?" Shannon puzzled.

"Rhydian and I both got taken into care," Jana explained, "We managed to run away but Rhydian got caught and I wasn't able to help him."

Shannon and Tom looked up in shock.

"I was so happy the day he came back to the wild pack," Jana continued, "It was good to know that he was alright and that he still remembered me- well sort of."

"You never forgot him?" Tom asked, "Did you?"

Jana shook her head.

"Why didn't you tell us before?" Shannon asked.

"I didn't want to complicate things between Rhydian and Maddy," Jana explained, as she began to climb again, "I knew how happy they were. I knew I loved Rhydian too but I knew he didn't feel the same way. I didn't want to cause any problems."

"I wonder why Rhydian didn't say anything," Tom pondered.

"He doesn't remember much of what happened," Jana clarified, "I suppose things like that effect people in different ways. He suppressed his memories, I didn't. It wasn't until Ceri told him, when I came back to Stoneybridge, that he began to start remembering everything again."

"He could have still talk to us about it," Tom argued, "After he found out."

"He doesn't like to talk about what happened," Jana replied, "He says it's all in the past and he just wants to move on with his life."

"I understand," Shannon said.

"There's something else I should probably tell you. In wild wolfblood culture there's a ritual," Jana began, "It's like what humans call adoption. It can only occur between wolfbloods unfortunately. It recognises when someone has been like a parent or a sibling to you. Rhydian and I took part in the ritual when I was dying. So, technically Rhydian and I are siblings now."

"Wow," Shannon said.

"I'm sorry that humans can't take part in the ritual," Jana continued, "Otherwise I would have asked you guys too, and so would Rhydian."

"It's ok," Tom said, "We're a pack."

Jana smiled, "I wonder when Rhydian will visit us."

"Well," Tom began, earning a swipe from Shannon.

"You two know something don't you?" Jana asked, "You have to tell me."

Shannon smiled, "It was supposed to be a surprise."

"Sorry!" Tom said, waving his hands in surrender.

"Is Rhydian coming back here?" Jana asked excitedly, stopping at the top of the wall, "Or are we going to Canada? I can't believe it, I always knew Mrs Sweeney like us, but I didn't think she'd pay for all of this."

"Rhydian's coming back here," Shannon said, "And we're then going to spend the rest of the summer in Canada before Tom and I start college and I assume you're going to start working for Segolia."

Jana nodded, "Rhydian made me promise to give it a go. They've given me a job with their security team."

"That's brilliant," Tom said.

"Yeah, well done you," Shannon added.

"I wonder why they're giving me all these opportunities," Jana said, "Surely that slice of pizza couldn't have been that amazing or maybe it's just because I used to be a wild wolfblood. It's not like I'm good at science- I barely passed my exams."

"Look," Shannon began, "Segolia wants you. Not just because of your DNA or your past. They want you, I'm sure you'll do well there."

"Shannon's actually really jealous," Tom said, "She has to wait until after uni to work for them."

"What are you going to do after college?" Jana asked Tom, "I know you're going to study sports science and physiotherapy but I thought you wanted to work for Segolia too."

"I'm thinking about it," Tom admitted, "It would be good for us to all work together."

"I wonder what Rhydian's going to do;" Shannon pondered, "Now he's found Maddy."

"I think he said something about working for security too," Jana answered, "And I know Maddy's hoping to work for them as well- she wants to study environmental science apparently."

"That sounds great," Tom said, "Let's hope they give us all jobs at the same headquarters. That would be amazing."

"Well at least we'll all be back together soon," Shannon answered.
