Sierra, Rhydian and Aran were racing quickly across someone's fields before Rhydian trips and lands on top of Tom quickly.

"Rhydian?!" Tom shouted and suddenly Sierra grabbed Tom and drags him along with them back to hiding in the trees, out of sight from the tractor and the farmer in it.

The keys clattered onto the table when Sierra threw them onto it quick and they clattered loudly. "Do you know what could have happened if you had been caught?" Tom shouted at them.

"Wolfbloods know how to hunt unseen!" Aran snapped back at Tom and Rhydian let out a low growl.

"That wasn't hunting. That was stealing!" Tom shouted loudly back at Aran and Sierra snarled.

"Enough of this." She snapped and tossed herself onto the couch with a low growl.

"They were poaching." Tom points at Rhydian, Aran as well as Sierra... who were all letting out low growls now.

"Jana needs red meat. She won't heal on scraps and human food." Ceri said wisely and Tom shakes his head.

"So you just stole it?" Tom accused.

"You have no right to judge us." Aran jumps into the conversation and Tom snarled at him, a human snarl.

"Why? Because I'm not Wolfblood?" A angry sounding Tom was saying now.

"Because we weren't the ones who were seen!" Rhydian growled at Tom, who flinched at once.

"What?!" Jana shouted.

"You were seen?!" Ceri exclaimed at the same time as Jana spoke up to the situation at hand.

"Yeah, for, like, two seconds!" Tom pointed out and Sierra snorted at his words.

"Two seconds is still being seen. If Rhydian and I hadn't gone back for you..." Sierra snarled, frustration all over every fiber of her being.

"Yeah and he would've got caught if I didn't go back for him." Rhydian said, and Tom advanced on him.

"The only reason that farmer was even out there was because he was trying to catch you!" Tom shouted at Rhydian.

"What were you doing out there anyways?!" Rhydian shot back at Tom and Sierra was clampin' her hands, on her ears now.

"Ok, ok, this isn't Tom's fault." Jana said and Sierra released her grip on her ears at Jana's calm tone of voice.

"I was taking a shortcut, bringing this... for Jana." Tom pulled out a big laptop and puts it down gently on the kitchen table.

"Maybe they could poach elsewhere, another farm or--" Ceri began as Jana shakes her head.

"No. No. Tom's right. We're guests here. We can't just go breaking rules that don't suit us." Jana says quietly as she used the stick, to get around to the table. "We don't steal, not from anyone even if they deserve it." Jana said and Rhydian scoffed quietly.

"Your recovery... it could take months, if we don't." Rhydian retorts, and then Sierra sighed.

"What about your pack? We have left them long enough." Aran pointed out, and Jana shakes her head.

"We'll get by on what we can find in the woods." Jana said as she opens the laptop and began to type on it quickly.

Sierra was staying at back at home that she now owned, with Jana, Ceri and Aran.

"Wait, so you bought this whole house?" Jana asked and Sierra nodded quickly.

"Turns out that my parents had connections in the human world that they didn't tell anyone about, except a certain tracker child." Sierra said and she sat on the couch next to Jana.

After an altercation between Aran and Jana, Sierra was dragging Aran outside by his ear.

"You cannot become disloyal to your alpha as others have." She said and he looked at her.

"You should have returned, back to the Wild where you belong. You were not only just born, to be a Tracker, the pack sensed an alpha the moment you were born. It skipped Marty, and your sister is a follower, not a leader. You'd be a great alpha, if you would, only be confident enough in yourself, with-in your mind to challenge!" Aran's voice was serious as he looks at Sierra, who shakes her head.

"Aran, I cannot do this. Your loyalty is to Jana, only to her, as it should be. I'll not take advantage, of that loyalty. My names are Delta, Omega, Beta. No one has called me an alpha yet and as it is, I would not take that title from Jana."

Sierra said as she walked back into the house and found Jana waiting for her with Ceri by her side.

"Thank you, Sierra. I would be very much glad to have you as a alpha, any day." Jana says with a small smile, and Sierra shakes her head.

"No. Maybe one day, I'll go off and start my own pack. But not today, not this month, not next month even. For today, I'm still a Beta." She said as she clasped hands with Jana.

After Jana's loyalties getting questioned by Aran once again, Ceri had gotten caught in a trap, and Liam had gotten blackmailed into handing over a video chip from a camera, they were all laughing together at the thoughts of Tom and Shannon, a couple, possibly working together.
