Chapter 20

**Shout out goes to @mikeandike for guessing exactly right :)**

Shannon's POV

"I need you to take your brother and sister and go hide" dad says, looking me straight in the eyes. I nod and pull him into a tight hug, tears threatening to spill down my cheeks. "I love you daddy" I say and grab Liam and willows hand, running into the forest behind the dead car.

About thirty feet in, I see a large evergreen tree, with thick branches. I drag the twins over to it, and we climb about eighty feet up the trunk. When I find a fork in the branches, I lay my jacket down so Liam and willow can sit on it. I push some leaves out of the way, so I can see what's happening below us.

Dad is now in wolf form, searching through the forest, in search of the thing that tried to attack us. About twenty feet away from him, the bushes rustle.

------------------------------------------

A reddish brown furred wolf jumps out and tackles dad. Liam is now beside me, clamping a hand over my mouth so I don't scream. The two wolves wrestle, standing in their back paws, front paws scratching at the opposite wolf. Their powerful jaws snap dangerously close to each others faces.

The red wolf backs dad up against a thick tree. He snaps at the wolf, trying to gain an advantage. He leaps at the other wolf, but they grab him by the scruff of fur by his neck, using his momentum, and flinging him against another large tree.

Dad yelps in pain, going almost completely still. The other wolf stalks over to him, baring their fangs to finish him off. Dad shifts back into human form, breathing heavily as he tries to push himself off the ground, failing and falling back down.

The red wolf stops dead in their tracks. Dad finally collapses, going unconscious. "Noooooo!" I wail. The wolf looks up, and I see realisation clear in their eyes. They shift back into human form, but I don't see who it is, because I jump to the ground, running over to my father.

An auburn haired woman is leaning over him, gently brushing the hair off of his forehead. I run towards them at full speed, coming to a skidding stop. I wrap my arms around my father, as if shielding him from this woman.

She shakes her head, her hair shielding her face still. "I had no idea it was him. I'm sorry, Shannon" she says sadly. I look over at her. "How do you know me?" I say almost accusingly. The woman looks back at me, brushing her hair out of her face.

Her large hazel eyes, glisten with tears as she looks down at me. Freckles fill her rosy cheeks. She is the female version of Liam. All colour drains from my face as I realise, just who this person is.

"Mum?"

She nods, enveloping me in a giant hug. "You've grown so much!" Mum cries as she clutches onto me. I nod and wipe my own tears away. Out of the corner of my eye, I see willow and Liam run towards us.

"Rachel?" Liam asks, confused. Mum smiles at him. She shakes her head gently. "No sweetie. My name is Raine. I'm your mother" she wipes her tears away with the back if her hand.

Liam stands in place, clearly shocked, before tackling our mother in a huge hug. Willow joins in too, as do I again, hugging our mum for the first time we can remember.

Niall's POV

I slowly open my eyes. At first, I forget where I am, but the leaves of the many trees rustle above me. I suddenly remember what just happened, and frantically look around for the other wolf.

A few feet away from me, I see Shannon, Willow and Liam all hugging a woman. Not just any woman though, her auburn hair is too familiar. I gasp and everyone immediately looks over at me.
