Chapter 6
Alrics P.O.V
A pack of six, outcasts (including myself) that I have trooped together is how I will get my vengeance. We have all tasted the bitterness of being discarded, pushed away and shamed. Our plan is simple, to regain control of my old pack, and after this, all of us shall have leadership once more. Kidnapping Bryn wasn't even part of the plan, but when I saw him, I knew if we took him we could lure the pack to us. My daughter Jana, she's also been corrupted by the humans, her pure soul has been twisted into believing she is the one who must change her ways! I must reunite her with the thrill of the wild. Nothing beats running free in wolf form.
Five days we have held Bryn, and we've been slowly tracked by two of my old pack. I see them with eolas; several miles away they are making camp. Tomorrow they will find us and tomorrow we shall take back what is ours.
Maddy's P.O.V
It's been five days since Bryn went missing and three days ago Rhydian found us but he was confused to not see his brother Bryn. His mum, Ceri, has a new sparkle in her eyes, like a candle that has been lit on a dark night. It took the whole of our remaining pack to convince him and Ceri not to hunt down Bryn because we now know that Alric is his kidnapper.
Last night, when everyone was asleep, Rhydian crept into my room. He slipped under my duvet and lay down next to me. He put an arm around me, protecting me. We fell asleep that way, holding each other and not wanting to let go. I woke in the morning with him smiling at me. I smiled back and felt like I was one step closer to understanding what love is.
Today, Jana told me that she and Jake decided it was best not to become each other's alphas. With so much changing and with Bryn missing, they decided to put it on hold. I feel a distance forming between me and Jake; in the short week I was with the pack we had become very close. Now with Rhydian always by my side, Jake can't be. For now, the pack is concentrating on controlling the wolf inside because we have a special task for them, a trip into town to do some shopping. Mam and dad thought it would be great for them all to learn about the outside and to practise their new skills.
Toms P.O.V
For the past few days, Shannon and I have been planning like crazy. Everything has to be perfectly planned, practised and timed. What we have to do is simple; catch Dr Whitewood in the act. In the local museum, there are some new "wolfblood" bones that we sure as hell know she will want to get her hands on. Of course they aren't real, but she doesn't know this. All we have to do is inform the police and she will be arrested in the act of stealing them. Once she explains why she needs to see them, everyone will think she is crazy.
Bryns P.O.V
Foul smells and rotting meat is all I've smelt for five days, and rotting meat is all I have been given to eat. I have no choice; I must eat it or starve. Alric is keeping me chained to a tree by my wrist. I cannot go farther than a couple of meters before my wrist gets sore. None of Arics pack is allowed to speak to me; if they do he punishes us both. I feel more afraid as the hours go by. I want my pack to find me, i don't want to waste away like this. Several times I have used eolas to try and contact someone, but my mind seems to become too weak to focus. I can feel the difference in myself, the kind of tiredness one feels when they are becoming ill.
Thank you for reading, please leave any comments! Next time, Jake makes a painful decision and Aric comes face to face with Jana's pack.
