"Who are you!" Hutch screamed at the intruder whom was rather large with tan fur with a dark bluish tint.

He was lying pressed down into the tall grass where no one but the couple was supposed to be.

The intruder neither turned around nor gave any sort of response before stepping out from the tall grass where he lay watching the flatland in front of him where the couple would be and upon closer inspection appeared to be an Easterner.

Hutch thought to himself that the intruder was either deaf or perhaps had potentially hostile intentions.

"Hey what are you doing here?" Hutch asked the Easterner again this time in a more aggressive tone who was behaving extremely suspiciously cautiously approached the wolf.

The intruder abruptly turned around and charged almost swiveling on the spot revealing a set of wild bloodshot eyes with a blood curdling scream.

Hutch pounced skilfully on top of his assailant hoping to pin his opponent rather than actually kill him however violently the Easterner was behaving as the Easterners were allies weren't they?

Hutch having the advantage of height made full use of it by landing square upon the shoulder of his opponent expecting a quick victory.

However, this was not the case as the Eastern wolf ploughed headlong into Hutch like a steam train merely shrugging off the impact.

He then carried Hutch forward with the sheer momentum as both opponents' muzzles clamping down onto the shoulder of the other.

Hutch gritted his teeth as the two pushed and manoeuvred in a sort of ballet of death as they bit and clawed at each other.

The Easterner had already started to gain the upper hand in the ballet as he was far stronger than he looked and was quickly winning the "ballet".

The object of which was life-and-death to push your opponent over and finish him off.

Hutch's foot dug into the dirt below which he used like an anchor to try and slow the Easterner down whom was still going forward albeit at a reduced pace.

Finally, Hutch gave his opponent a mighty shove which for the first time since the fight begin seemed to be visibly shaken from the impact.

Hutch then decided to take a huge gamble by sliding violently to the side throwing his full weight into the move.

He knew that if he failed if the Easterner could still retain his grip and the move would cause Hutch to fall over exposing his throat if he succeeded though he would win the "ballet" caused by the intruder's own momentum could cause the opposite to happen.

The Easterner didn't expect this bold move and stumbled over Hutch the sheer strength of the Easterner ultimately proving to be his own undoing just as Hutch had hoped.

He stumbled forward struggling to regain his footing allowing Hutch just long enough for him to regain his footing before his opponent could.

The intruder sprang to his feet and tried to scamper away but Hutch was swift and quickly got the intruder on the side causing his opponent to fall onto his side.

Hutch was about to let out a cry of triumph when abruptly the two started to slide down the side.

Hutch and the intruder were carried forward by the momentum of his leapt apparently he had misjudged the gradient of the slope below him and were both carried forward by the momentum of his leapt.

The two were sent rolling down biting and slashing each other as the intruder bounced slightly on the side of the slope rolling over Hutch as he did so.

The intruder quickly wrapped his teeth around his Hutch's foot and clamped down tearing through muscle and flesh and dragging him down.

Hutch gritted his teeth together as he pressed both his front paws onto the dirt in front of him and dug his claws in trying to stop himself from sliding down with the weight of the Eastern wolf dragging him down.

"Help!" Hutch cried out hoping that the couples could hear and help.

The Easterner slashed Hutch's back dragging long claw marks across his back tearing at flesh and muscle.

Hutch threw the Easterner off with a monumental effort heaving with every aching muscle in his body.

As he spun around to engage his opponent caught sight of Humphrey whom was watching the other side of the stream where he had a swim only a minute ago.

Humphrey stood there watching with mouth agape and a shocked expression on his face.

"Send help" Hutch yelled.

Humphrey stayed frozen up too shocked to do anything.

"Ah!" Hutch screamed as the Easterner charged the weaken Hutch once more and shoved him onto the ground as he mauled his back once more.

"Come on just do something!" Hutch screamed again slightly out of desperation.

"Uh okay what do you want me to do?" Humphrey yelled back.

Truth to be told Humphrey had no idea what to do in the situation had never been in a fight before and wasn't sure what to do.

"Um okay look here you" Humphrey stuttered at the aggressive Easterner with bloodshot eyes and a muzzle starting dripping with Hutch's blood.

The Easterner ceased focusing on Hutch leaving him badly mauled and started stepping towards Humphrey with slow and devious smile something like what a dentist would give just before they started their work.

Humphrey was oblivious to all this and continued "Yeah that's right err friend?" Humphrey said with a wavering voice as the Easterner stood towering a good head over him

His open mouth showcasing a set of sharp teeth glistening with saliva stained a bloody red as he prepared to chomp down.

Just then, Kate and Garth arrived growling at the attacker whom quickly backed off Humphrey with Lilly standing a little further behind.

The Easterner might have been savage but he knew a bad fight when he saw one the little one was not worth it not for two alphas he thinks as he retreats off.

He did not even bothering to face them instead walking away with great strides as though Kate and Garth were gnats to him.

Kate and Garth kept glaring at the stranger until he was sure that he was gone.

"Oh!" Hutch let out a loud groan as he lay there beaten into a pulp.

"Hutch!" Kate yelled from where she was not leaving Humphrey's side until she made sure that her mate was safe.

"I'm fine just go" Humphrey exclaimed motioning for Kate to go attend to Hutch.

Kate nodded leaping off to join Garth whom had already started by helping Hutch up whom could still stand albeit only on three good legs while dragging the mangled one along.

"Hey Kate" Hutch groaned weekly as she came up managing to put up a weak smile in spite of the visible pain on his face.

"Hutch you're hurt!" Kate exclaimed bending down to see Hutch's twisted and mangled limb contorted in a strange manner and his back covered in deep cuts where blood oozed out matting the fur on his back.

"Yeah… I can see that just a scratch yes just a scratch" Hutch mumbled before letting out a loud howl of pain that echoed throughout the valley where the united pack made their home.

Hutch fell against Garth's side heavily causing Garth to strain himself trying to keep Hutch's weight up.

"Kate!" Garth screamed at Kate.

Kate too rushed over to help support her share of the weight narrowly preventing Hutch from collapsing ignoring the fact that her side was getting soaked with blood and the metallic scent filing up her nose.

Hutch's expression twisted from a cheery look into one of pain as he struggled to stay upright.

Just above the slight incline where the fight had taken place earlier came two Western alphas Scar and Candu whom had arrived to investigate the sounds of fighting.

Winston and Eve were behind them ever worried about their children when they heard the screams with anxiety painted over Winston's face while Eve had this rather menacing expression painted on her face.

"Winston Hutch is hurt!" Garth called out to the four alphas.

"Send more help go go!" Winston ordered Candu and Scar to send more help whom promptly nodded before turning over to Eve whom was walking over to Humphrey with teeth gritted together and a menacing look.

"Uh Eve?" Humphrey asked.

"Mom what are you doing?" Kate whom was still helping Hutch walk stared suspiciously at Eve.

"Who did it who was responsible for all this was it him" Eve declared pointing accusingly at Humphrey and a loud snarl.

"Mum it wasn't him it was an Easterner" Garth grunted under the weight of Hutch.

"So it's not his fault" Eve asked almost sounding almost disappointed.

"No!" Kate yelled.

"Eve you can tear apart the wolf who did this alright" Winston said soothingly.

At her mate's words Eve ears perked up and grinned menacingly to herself no doubt having something gruesome in mind.

Not long latter Candu and Scar arrived with four more alphas who took the burden off the couple taking Hutch over to a near-by healer.

"Ah at last" Winston exclaimed with a sigh before continuing.

"Now Kate you mentioned an Easterner wandered in here and attacked Hutch right?" Winston asked

"Humphrey too" Garth mentioned.

"My son-in-law too?" Winston announced sounding shocked.

"This is serious I think I will go have a word with Tony" he declared his eyes narrowing into a frown.

"Garth before I go do you know who that is?" Winston asked looking accusingly at Garth.

"What has this got to do with me?" Garth asked defensively wondering how he was suddenly involved all of a sudden.

"Hey you're from the East aren't you that must mean you know something don't you?" Eve said threateningly catching on to what her mate was saying.

"Well I okay" Garth tried to answer looking sheepishly away.

"Okay what" Eve asked with a venomous smile leaning closer and grinning with her set of teeth exposed.

"Well it's kind of a Eastern secret that wolf is called well no one knows what his name is called as he goes by several but I think most call him Hunter and he really dislikes omegas" Garth answered stooping slightly lower into a more submissive posture.

"Why is it an Eastern secret then?" Winston asked.

"No one likes to talk about it sometimes he bullies omega just for sport but I didn't think he would try something like that that's just…unthinkable" Garth said struggling to come up with an appropriate word.

"Well I will discuss this Hunter issue with Tony but this honeymoon for the four of you is over you will still be off duty though but you will spend it at my den where you will be safe." Winston declared.

"But Dad!" Lilly spoke up the first time since the whole incident.

"Not buts!" Winston yelled his expression seeming furious now.

"Now children you can still rest in the family den there's nothing wrong with it is there?" Eve asked with a smile although unlike her earlier one it was a pleasant one.

Lilly was a little surprised for Eve to be taking the position of the calm one as Eve was normally aggressive and bowed her head down following the rest of the group.
