3rd Person

Maddy bolted down the stairs. She couldn't lose three people in one day. She had to stay strong for Rhydian, fill his head with the hope of Sophie's survival, but it seemed dismal. After seeing Sophie... And if Emma became injured as well Sophie wouldn't have a chance... Rhydian was close behind her now bounding down the stairs, two at a time. They both stood, frozen in shock. Two huge alpha wolves were sprawled on the floor. They skidded to their feet and growled at Maddy and Rhydian. Saliva dripped from their bared teeth and their amber eyes narrowed. Emma and Daniel were quivering in the corner. Emma was nuzzling Daniel who had a gash in his left side. He was whimpering in pain. The two wolves shifted into human form. An enormous man towered over the two teenagers. He had a jagged jaw line and shaggy hair, a large scar was engraved on his face and ran from his cheek to his forehead. He had huge, muscular limbs and menacing eyes. The other was a boy. He looked extremely like the first man. They were either brothers or father and son. But he looked more innocent and less menacing and scarred. Like he could still have his opinions swung.

Maddy growled at them and she and Rhydian let their veins grow inky and their eyes cloud over.

"What do you want?" she stood with her feet apart and hands by her sides, ready to change and attack at any moment,

"Revenge," The man smiled showing stained, yellow teeth. It made Maddy want to gag.

"Our packs have no feud!" She snarled, bearing her teeth.

"Don't be so sure,"

"If you lay a finger on them..." Maddy began, but her voice trembled at the thought of this beast of a man attacking her parents.

"I will kill you," Rhydian finished her sentence. His voice was steady and threatening. He growled at them and the ink crept further and further. The man almost laughed at Rhydian and folded his arms across his chest.

"You wouldn't dare," he said, cockily.

"Try me," Rhydian had a growl in his voice now, and he was fidgeting with the adrenaline pumping through him. He could transform at any moment. The boy looked slightly scared at the thought of Rhydian changing. He clearly didn't want to test his patience.

"We don't want any trouble," Maddy said, trying to keep her voice even and serious throughout, "Leave now and you won't get any,"

"Is that a threat?" The man scoffed, but there was a hint of fear in his laughter.

"After what you did to my sister I wouldn't hesitate,"

"You mean the halfblood? Your pack?" The man let out a horrible, fake laugh, "I never even thought tames would stoop that low," Rhydian's blood boiled. Maddy gripped his hand to restrain him. They just had to wait this one out. If Rhydian changed there would be nothing to stop the others changing and attacking. But thought they talked big Maddy and Rhydian knew they would be no match for a fully grown alpha male, let alone one with a cub as well. Not that the boy was really a cub, he was probably their age at least.

"What do you want with her?" Maddy dug her nail into the hand that wasn't in Rhydian's. She was no desperately trying to contain the wolf. Keep your cool, Maddy, keep your cool.

"She's a halfblood,"

"And?" Maddy raised her eyebrows.

"She deserves to die!" The alpha roared. The teenager glanced from Maddy to Rhydian. He then looked at the man and gulped.

"She shouldn't be punished for what she can't help!" Rhydian yelled across the room. A plan was formulating in Maddy's head. She needed to know when to pounce. But if she shifted her gaze from the men for even one second they would follow her eye line... She had to keep Rhydian talking. She squeezed his hand. He knew what to do.

"She shouldn't have been allowed to live!" The man shouted, focusing all his attention on Rhydian. Maddy took her opportunity. She cut a glance over at her parents who were now back in human form. They nodded. They understood. But when she returned her gaze to the alphas the boy was staring at her. Maddy held her breath. It was make or break. But he just held her gaze, not blinking his amber eyes. But he changed them back to a deep hazel colour. Only for a second. But it was long enough; he was on their side.

"NOW!" Maddy yelled. Emma and Daniel (despite his injuries) pounced on the alpha from behind. Taken by surprise he hadn't even had time to react. The became a mass of tangled limbs on the floor. Maddy and Rhydian pushed the teenager to the side and pinned down the man. Rhydian wacked the hard part of his forehead against the soft part of the man's nose and knocked him out, like he'd been taught. Maddy couldn't help laughing as he did so. But they could only celebrate for so long before reality started to sink in. Daniel was weak from the effort or attacking and collapsed on the ground.

"Maddy, bandages, Rhydian, medicine box," The two stood up and spun around expecting to see the boy who had helped them. But he was gone. Panic rose in them both: Sophie. They looked at each other and raced upstairs.

"Sophie...!" Rhydian began but they swung open the door and Sophie was simply sitting up anxiously in bed.

"Oh, thank God," Rhydian breathed and he ran over to Sophie and hugged her, gently. He planted a soft kiss on the top of her head. Maddy smiled. Why had she ever been jealous?

"W-What?" Sophie stammered through Rhydian's grip. He released her and put his arm around Maddy when she moved forward. They seemed almost like a proper family already.

"We thought that... Did you smell someone?" Rhydian asked, remembering Sophie's super senses.

"Yeah... two wilds. Two alphas, father and son," Sophie said, then she saw the worried look on Maddy's face, "Is everything okay? What the hell happened?" Then it dawned on her, "They came back for me, didn't they?" Maddy nodded. She heard a yelp of pain from downstairs. She knew her mum would be dressing her dad's wound.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't know they'd follow me. I tried to make my scent like a maze but they must've seen through it," Maddy smiled, meekly. Sophie was fine but her father certainly wasn't. And the wild packs were the least of their problems. Whitewood would act fast. And they needed to as well. They needed a plan.
