While Brittany was walking in the woods to get away from her parents constant bickering she noticed that it was dark and she could barely see anything then she saw two guys hiding behind a tree from her.
They didn't do a good job at it.
She began to walk faster until she hit a brick wall that was actually a hard chest of a man with a black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and combat boots. His short thick black hair reached right above his chin with a kind face and the brightest blue eyes she had ever seen, kind of like the ocean. He had a large build like he worked out a lot and took care of his self.
Realising she was staring at him she quickly snapped back into reality. Looking up she could feel his body heat he was so close, smirking down at her and with his hand on her shoulder.
She pushed his hand away and began to back away until she felt two arms wrap around her waist from behind and a chin being placed on her shoulder. She began to panic and on instinct she stomped down on his foot hard, but he didn't seem to be bothered by it. He released her letting her get away on purpose
She knew she shouldn't but she looked behind her anyway. She saw them running quickly after her. She began to run faster in fear of them catching her, until she thought she could run no more.
She bent over and placing her hands on her knees and began to try to regain her breath. Suddenly she was tackled. She expected to hit the ground but instead she landed on a soft, warm chest. She realized he had placed himself under her. She saw two feet leisurely walking towards them. The man bent down she struggled to got out of the mans hold but found herself unable.
She had never been more terrified.
The man in front of her placed a finger under her chin lifting her face and making her look him in his eyes, much like the man's below her. He spoke then in a calm baritone, "Don't worry little mate your safe with us".
Then she knew who they were.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.

Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
