Zed?" Addison exclaimed, hoping it would be him on the other side of the door. Instead, it was a collection of wolves, all staring at the girls with an intimidating glare.

"Come with us." Willa said, her tone demanding. "What's so important?" I asked "You are. Both of you." Wyatt said, a small smile on his face as he connected eyes with me, who gestured to her now ruined front door with a dry look.

Addison turned to Me, with a not so sure look on her face before we both agreed to go with them.
following the wolves out of Seabrook, and into the depths of the Forbidden forest.

Deep into the forest, Addison decided to stop, looking around curiously. "Where are we going?" She asked

"It's a wolf secret. If we told you, we'd have to kill you." Wynter said to Addison, receiving dry looks from Willa and Wyatt. "Too much, too much, I knew it. Sorry. Welcome! But not too welcome!" Wynter showed her fangs, her eyes briefly going orange before turning to a sickly yellow-green as she began to cough.

"Are you okay?" I wrapped an arm around Wynter, concerned, as I rested my head on Wynter's shoulder as a way of comfort. "My necklace is losing its charge." Wynter explained, her voice weak and soft.

"Every day, more and more of our pack becomes sick because their moonstones lose their power. All of our elders are too sick to travel, which leaves..." Wyatt began to explain, before Willa cut in, finishing it off for her brother.

"...which leaves taking care of the pack to us. To me. You'll be fine, Wynter. I promise." She comforted Wynter, sending a warning look to Wyatt. "You better be right about this. We need to find the moonstone soon."she said "Follow us, Lia,Addison. " Wyatt wrapped an arm around my shoulder. Guiding me into the Wolf den as Addison followed behind looking at us with a smile.

"The wolf den!" Wynter exclaimed, throwing her arms out wide when they finally got into the main area of the den. "Wow." Addison muttered, us exchanging excited glances as we looked around the glowing blue area full of werewolves big and small. "It's okay to be impressed." Wynter grinned, nudging Me and Addie jokingly as we walked. "Our language. Awoo Lia! Awoo Addison!" Wyatt howled in the wolf language, looking back at the girls.

"That means welcome." He said as Addison tried to howl a hello, only getting giggles from the surrounding wolves. "Ostrich boots?" Wynter asked, confused at what Addison was howling. "No, I think Addison meant..." Wyatt howled again, trying to get Addison to howl correctly. She tried again, only getting more laughter. "Polka dot unicorn?" Wyatt smirked, but Wynter jumped in excitement, looking around. "Cool, where?" "Oh, no. Sorry, um. Uh..." Addison thought for a second, before letting out a higher howl. People flinched away this time, covering their ears at her words.

"Whoa, whoa, language. There are were-pups around." Wyatt frowned. Wynter pointed at Addison, telling her: "She needs to put a pebble in the swear-wolf jar." "I am so sorry." Addison apologised, embarrassed and apologetic at her inability to howl correctly.
