"Calum, I have to see Calum." Pip repeated, her hands shake and tremble as she looks around the four of us, "Where's Calum?"
I exchanged glances with the others. What did she need Calum for so badly? Her tone seemed to imply that it was important but none of us had any way of contacting him.
"Calum's not here right now..." Ashton frowned, exchanging glances with Michael and I who nodded.
Pip froze, she bit her lip for a moment. "This is important. I need to see him right away. Please ring him, call him, do something!"
"We can't." I frowned, biting my lip. "We don't even know where he is."
"What do you mean you don't know here he is?" Pip questioned her voice shaking as she looked around us with wide eyes.
"We don't honestly know. He left and Michael's our Alpha while he's away. Didn't Emily tell you?" Ashton frowned.
Pip shook her head, "Well this will change everything. Maybe I'm already too late."
She burst into tears. Ashton instantly put his arms around her as she sobbed. I frowned, her words concerning me. What did this change? What was already too late? Where was Emily? But she was still young, and I knew that it was too soon to be asking her questions. I decided to leave this up to the others.
As her sobs subsided, Michael cautiously moved closer to where she and Ashton were sitting. "So, what did you need Calum for Pip, maybe I can help?" He asked in a calm voice.
Slowly, she pulled away from Ashton. She looked Michael directly in the eyes. "Emily was attacked."
"Attacked? Attacked by what?" Michael prompted, his voice rising slightly in alarm. Ashton shot him a warning look.
Pip sat in silence for a moment, "It was big, black, shadowy and had glowing red eyes...there was someone else with it, a wolf I think. Whoever it was they took her with them." She sighed, "Right before they left I heard them say that the Alpha of the Rosetta Park wolf pack would be next, they'd be referring to you guys, right?"
I gasped, Pip's words forming themselves together. She had to be talking about a Shadow Wolf and if her words were true then I knew who its next victim was. Ashton wore a similar look of shock on his face. Though it was nothing compared to Michael. He was pale as if all the life had been drained from his body. He turned away from Pip, instead, facing me. I noticed the way his entire body trembled. Alarmed, I put my hand to his shoulder and patted him gently.
"Mikey, it's okay." I spoke in the most soothing voice I could manage considering the circumstances.
Michael took a deep breath, his entire body stopped shaking. He looked up at me. "So, it's probably me it's after then isn't it?"
Slowly I nodded.
"Or perhaps they're still just looking for Calum." Ashton frowned, biting his lip.
Michael frowned, "Someone's still after one of us, whether it be Calum or me."
"Or worse all of us." I spoke softly, thinking of how injured Pip looked. Had she tried to help Emily and what else had she been through to get to us?Suddenly, Harry stood up and promptly left the room. I'd barely noticed him as I'd been so focused on Pip. I could hear him sobbing from the hallway. Ashton's face fell, and he pushed Pip away from him onto Michael who shot him a stunned look. He raced out the door a moment later.
"Whoever it is, we have to let the hunters know." Michael frowned, looking directly at me.
"No! Are you crazy?" I stared at him, I couldn't believe he would even suggest that. Sure, I remember what my mum had said about the hunters being able to help us. But I didn't think we could trust them with something like this.
Pip frowned, "I thought the hunters were a danger to us. Weren't they the reason you came to stay with Emily and I?"
"Yeah, but now they can help us. That's how it works. If our pack is ever threatened we can ask for their help to protect us, and they can ask for our help as well." Michael sighed, "Your mum helped us find information Luke, she could help us again."I frowned, I still wasn't sure that was how it worked.
"She only helped us because humans were in danger. I know this is still about the Shadow Wolf but at the end of the day Calum and you are both werewolves. They won't want to help us." I explained, "Besides, we'd have to explain to them how Calum's not our packs Alpha anymore."
Michael ran his hand through his hair, "Well unless you have a better idea, what are we going to do?"
"Look, whatever we do I'm not calling her. I think we should keep the hunters out of this" I sighed. Sure, Michael's plan to talk to the hunters was the best one we had but I still thought that it could be more trouble than it was worth.
