"Maddy said to say hi." "Dacia Turner." "Segolia Corporation." "Humans and wolfbloods working side by side in science!" " They have to see you change." " No!" "Where are you?" "Get me out of here!" "She made me an offer I couldn't refuse." "It means you've nothing to fear from me now." "Maddy can come home!" "Where is she?" "Maddy and her parents have already left the country." "Canada, by cargo ship." "They'll have new identities when they get there." " Call the ship." "You can get them back." " It's too late." " You said you could help." " I said I'd try." "There must be something we can do." "There is." "I'm going after them." "To Canada?" "You can't just go to Canada." " Watch me!" " Rhydian!" "♪ A promise that I keep ♪" "♪ I'll never share, I'll never speak ♪" "♪ To my grave, the secret goes ♪" "♪ The beating heart, the beating heart ♪" "♪ Of mystic creatures wandered far ♪" "♪ Through these veins a wolfblood flows ♪" "♪ Through these veins a wolfblood flows ♪" "I can't find it." "It's in there somewhere, Ollie." "Oh, Joe, don't do that!" "I thought you had to be in school early today!" "Yeah." "I forgot my homework." " Come on, I don't want you to be late." " Hate wearing ties." "You look very handsome." "You off, then?" "Yeah." "Will you be home for supper?" "Uhm..." "I might be going out." "Okay." "Whoa... what brought that on?" "Just... thanks for looking after me." "You'll appreciate her one day, boys." "In your dreams, Rhydian." "See you later, alligator." "In a while, crocodile." "Oi!" "You're being ridiculous." "You can't just search the whole of Canada for her." " How are you going to get there?" " I'll work something out." " How?" " Instinct." " She's in hiding." " Wolfbloods can always find their pack." "Hey..." "I thought we were your pack." "But you're not wolfbloods!" "I..." "Guys..." "I've got to do this!" "So do it, then!" "Now, then." "Work experience starts next month, so it's time to start thinking about where you'll be doing it." " The school..." " Sorry we're late, sir." "Coldwell Lane was flooded again, we had to go round the long way." "And did Rhydian come via Coldwell Lane?" "Because he's late too." " How would we know?" "We're not his keeper, sir." " I just thought..." "Ooooh!" "Thinking about your futures... your strengths and weaknesses." "Well, I'm good at losing mates." " Everything's changing, isn't it?" " Like it's all falling apart." "Mum!" "What's happened?" "She's been shot." "Hey, you." "Ready for lunchtime?" "What you doing at lunchtime, Harry?" "Something romantic?" "We're just recording some music, it's no big deal." " No big deal?" " Yes, Harry, no big deal!" "There are more important things in life than music, you know!" "Uh-oh, trouble in paradise!" "Sorry." "If you don't want to do this, you know..." "No, I'll see you in the music room at lunchtime." "He's so obsessive." "Oh, obsessive." "Right." "Not like you've had any experience of that before" "Look." "I like singing, and I like Harry, but we want different things, and he can't see that because all he cares about is my voice." "Maybe you should tell him this?" "Or maybe I've lost enough friends for one day." "A traveller was on our territory." "He came looking for us with a gun." "Jana took wolf-form to lead him away but she wasn't quick enough." "Take her while I look for a key." "Come in..." "Put her on the sofa." "Here..." "I thought it would heal." "I have the remedies to prevent infection." "What about the tame wolves... will they help?" " They're not here any more." " What?" "Dr Whitewood found out about them." "They're on their way to Canada." " What is "Canada"?" " What does it matter?" "You said they'd be here to help, and they're not!" "How long has Maddy been gone?" " They left the week after you did." " Oh, Rhydian." "So we brought our alpha for nothing?" "No." "Rhydian can help." "Can't you?" "Of course he can." "Yeah... ah..." "let's get Jana upstairs." "Take her up the stairs." "The cheek!" "Now he wants our help." "Well, it does say urgent, Shan." "Right..." "Follow my lead." "I feel sick!" "Shannon!" "What did I say about the ammonium sulphide?" " Sorry, Miss." " Right, everyone out!" "You two, get to the medical room and get checked out." "Everyone, wait in the corridor until the smell clears." "No, on the bed!" "Put her on the bed." "It's soft." "It's comfortable." "On the bed." "So, how can you help?" "Hospitals." "With you doing the talking, we could go there." "You can't do that." "The hospital will call the police." "They'd do blood tests, find out what you are." "So no hospitals." "Then, what are you going to do?" "We must return her to the pack." "Uhm..." "Well, we'll get Tom's mum over." "She's a doctor." "A healer with human tools and medicine." "Wait outside." "Ceri will stay with me." "Tell him the truth." "Tell him." "The bullet is too deep for me to remove." "It's poisoning her." "If we don't get it out..." "I will die." "They don't know, do they?" "They'd replace me as pack leader if they thought I wouldn't live." "It is their nature to need a strong alpha." "Tom'll know what to do." "This is all wrong, we should not have brought her." "This is her way." "Wolfblood and human, helping one another." "I don't trust the boy... or his mother's faith in humans." "Where's Rhydian?" "What have you done with him?" "Back off, you two!" "They're here to help." " She can't be..." " Ssh..." "Tom... you need to get your mum here." " What?" " It's Jana's only chance." "Are you insane?" "My mum won't do that." "Can't you persuade her?" "You know her, she's all about rules." "The first thing she'll do is call the police and then call an ambulance." "Which you need to do right now." " 'Hello?" "'" " Hello?" " It's Rhydian Morris." " Well, that's weird." "The only Rhydian Morris I know is on his way to Canada." " I need your help." " What do you want?" "I need a wolfblood doctor." "Mislaid someone, Harry?" "A singer, maybe?" "This is a private rehearsal, Jimi." "Maybe you should pay more attention to gossip, Harry." "Then you'd know your beloved Shannon did a runner from chemistry" " and hasn't been seen since." " Shannon?" "Missing school?" "Shannon and Tom." "'It's going to be Okay.'" "Dacia's bringing a doctor..." "a healer from Segolia." "What is this "Segolia"?" "A pack?" "It's a giant company." "It's like the human version of a pack." "But with wolfbloods in it, and most of the humans don't know." "This healer will be wolfblood?" "No, they'll be the best doctor available... human or wolfblood." "Do you want one of us, or the best healer?" "What is this?" "Food for Jana." "Hot dogs." "Dog?" "!" "No!" "It's not... it's just a name." "I will take them to her." "So Bernie's retired to Spain, and Katrina's family have taken over the cafe!" "Guess what colour it is now?" "Every colour?" "Correct!" "It was so good when we were a pack." "Yeah, it was really good fun." " You could stay... just till you get your strength back." " Yeah." "Get away from my alpha!" "Aran!" "Tempting her to stay in your world." "We just want what's best for her!" "How would you know what's best?" "You are not wolfbloods." "You cannot tempt her from us." "No-one's tempting anyone anywhere." "You are lying!" "That is why you brought them here!" "You came here for our help, and that is exactly what I'm getting!" "Rhydian!" "Is she...?" "She is alive." "Just." "I'm looking for Rhydian." "I'm Dacia." "He asked for my help." "Where is your wolf?" "Are you wild?" "I am true wolfblood." "You've scrubbed your wolf out." "I've never met a wild wolfblood before." "Your hair smells of flowers." "And the rest of you smells of poison." "Dacia!" "Where's the doctor?" "With another patient." "It'll be a while till he can get here." "We can't wait!" "Jana's dying." "This isn't right." "She should breathe her last in the wilderness, like the wolf she is." "A wolf?" "Don't write me off yet, Meinir." "You are my pack." "A wolf..." "Like a wolf!" " Yeah, I've got an emergency." " Finally!" "You're sure you can do this?" "If Ceri can..." "I can." "In here." "On the table." "That's not a dog." "I may not have told you the whole truth." "Ceri Jones." "I'm a zoologist." "I study wolves." "We found her in the woods, and called Dr Jones here." "She said we needed a vet." "She's been shot." "What a shame." "Such a beautiful animal, too." "It's probably best if you all wait outside." "What are you doing?" "I'm sorry, but this is better than allowing her to suffer any more." "Are you doing what I think you're doing?" "That is a wild animal." "It knows it's dying... otherwise you would have been attacked." "I'm sorry." "Whoa... wait a minute." "I have no choice." "Look at me." "Look at me." "She won't hurt you." "She just wants to meet you." "To get your scent." "Come." "I will introduce you." "Put out your fists, like this." "Gently." "Don't be scared." "It's all right." "It's Okay." "You are a healer." "It is what you were born for." "Take the bullet out and clean the wound." "She's under anaesthetic, right?" "Right." "So what if she loses the wolf?" "Becomes human?" "I hadn't thought of that." "Ceri won't allow it." "How can she stop it?" "Jana's unconscious!" "Who are you, the wolf whisperer?" "What happened to Maddy wasn't your fault." "I shouldn't have blamed you." "I'm sorry." "At least she's with her family." "So take my advice... for a little while, stay with yours." "Sorry!" "Oh, no." "It's Harry." "You're going to have to talk to him sometime." "Go on..." "Hi, Harry." "Are you Okay?" "I heard you and Tom got poisoned in chemistry?" "Yeah." "We breathed in some gases." "The nurse sent us home." " I'll come round..." " No!" "No..." "I'll be fine." "Just a sore throat." "Right." "Get well, then." " See you soon, yeah?" " Yeah." "You should go." "Both of you." " Get back to school." " No way." "This is where we belong right now." "Wolfblood or not." "I'm sorry." "We are a pack." "I shouldn't have said it." " It wasn't fair." " Too right it wasn't." "Of course we're a pack." "Apology accepted." "I'm just a big softy, you know that." "I've done all I can." "It's up to her now." "She will live." "You have done a great thing." "I wouldn't have done anything at all without your help." "Thank you." "For not letting me take the easy way out." "I've never actually had to remove a bullet before." "There is nothing to fear except..." "Fear itself." "So what now?" "She will come round in 20 minutes." "The people from the sanctuary will be here soon." "They will know what to do." "The poison's gone." "I can feel it." "We should get home before the school rings to check up on us." "Thank you." "Both of you." "She would not have survived without you." "Thank you... you brought her all the way here." "Hey, you." "If you wanted to get out of the recording, there are easier ways than poisoning yourself." "I'm so sorry." "It was an emergency, I had to..." "I can't tell you, and I know that sounds ridiculous..." "Everything about you is ridiculous." "That's why I like you." "You think I care more about my friends than I do about you." "Yeah, but you care more about music than you do about me." "No, I..." "Well." "Maybe a bit." "We're not right for each other, are we?" "No." "But, hey... the good news is some of the world's best songs were written after break-ups, so this is going to be brilliant for your career!" "I don't like her going back without us." "A pack with no leader has no centre, no direction." "They need to know I'm alive and returning soon." "She will tell them." "So." "I suppose we should talk." "About skipping school?" "Or the fact that half your clothes are missing, like you were running away?" "It's your friend Maddy, isn't it?" "She made me feel like I belonged here." "Now..." "You have responsibilities, Rhydian." "To your friends, and to us... and to yourself!" "There are other children in this house now, boys who'll look up to you like a role model." "Part of growing up is putting aside what you want to do, and doing what you need to do." "I know." "So I suppose I'm grounded?" "No, your punishment is to take Ollie and Joe out for an hour every day." "Maybe having someone depend on you will teach you about responsibility." "Okay..." "I've had worse punishments." "Dinner smells good." "It's lentil bake." "We helped make it!" "Really?" "What's in it?" "Lentils!" "Okay, boys, we need to set the table." "Who wants to do plates?" "Come on, then." "Ollie, do you want to grab the cups?" "Wolfbloods know how to hunt unseen." "That wasn't hunting." "That was stealing." "All right, mate?" " You think I'm stupid?" " Get lost, Liam." "Whoa, what is going on?" "My dad caught him poaching, sir." "You'd rather hide behind a crutch than admit it!" "He was with me..." "We're going out!"
