Serena's P.O.V.

I woke up with a start as i heard rustling about 30 feet away. I growled a warning and nudged the twins awake. They immediately jumped up and snarled through their muzzles.

As they moved into the clearing, we stalked in a circle. We never took our eyes off our threat. They weren't coming out to play so we decided to sit and wait.

They came out one by one. Each wolf had a cocky stance as they strutted into the clearing. That was their mistake. We struck when they all were in the clearing.

I lashed out at the wolves in front of me, raking my claws across their muzzles. The blood was oozing and they whimpered in pain.

They seemed shocked at our display so we took the opportunity to launch ourselves over their heads. Now they weren't surrounding us anymore. We locked tails and snarled viciously.

The noise seemed to shake them from their stupor and the lead wolf shifted. He dressed and started to stalk.

"We don't wish to harm you but you must come back to the pack house. Our alpha would like to talk to you there."

'Don't! Your nose hasn't healed from our last fight so you can't smell them! They are from our old pack and if we go back they will force us to stay!' Falon cried through the mind link.

We started backing away. I was never one to run from a fight but i did not want to get caught by them or have them find out who we are.

"You leave me no choice then."he spoke sadly and, before anyone could react, he threw a silver dagger that imbedded itself in my right shoulder.

Falon and Dominik immediately came to my aide but i didn't notice. The pain was blinding as the silver and wolfsbane worked together to burn me from the inside, out. My only weakness was now spreading through my veins.

I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and the spots in my vision cleared. I then realized that Falon had used her teeth to grip and pull the weapon out.

The burning faded but it left me weak and my legs collapsed under me. The twins stepped over me and bent low so that i was hidden from sight and easily protected.

Soon i would be forced to shift into my human form so i did so quickly. This way i can talk to him and get it over with quickly.

I whimpered in pain as i shifted and reopened my wounds. In all honesty, i think the only time i have voiced pain was when it involved my old pack.

The twins shifted as well and Dominik carried me to the creek as Falon slipped a shirt over my body. They laid my back against the rock and started to wash my wounds as everyone in the clearing shifted.

"A she-wolf? Who are you, white one?"
