"Forest. Alina. Or Harper." Nathan corrects him. "That's who we have to pick from."

'Pick mate! She's important!' Terzo howls.

Blade rolls his eyes. "I'll find Harper. Nathan; think you can track down Forest?" he says. "Which leaves Alina to the rest."

"No offense, Blade; but you can barely even stand. How are you going to find Harper in a state like that?" Nico asks the wolf.

"I'll manage." the Alpha replies. "Later."

He darts out of the house and falls to his knees not even three inches away. Blade inhales shakily and treks on slowly.

(RACHEL)

Rachel pokes around her plate of food with her fork. A guardsman strolls in and stops at the head of the table where her father sits.

"My liege. I have news that an Ultima has been discovered at Bunny Hill Lodge in Northern Maine." the guardsman states with a slight bow.

"Have the Guardian Force been instated to that Lodge?" her father replies and stuffs a piece of pancake into his mouth.

He swallows in a few seconds as the guard shakes his head. "No, sir. But there has been at least one casualty. A human." the guard says.

Her father sighs. "Have the Ultima killed. As for the Guardian Force; instate them to Bunny Hill." the Grand Alpha barks.

"Yes, my liege. It shall be done." the guardsman bows then takes his leave from the dining room.

Rachel's mother slaps her father on the cheek. "How dare you! Have the Ultima killed? Are you insane! The Ultima is our son! Do you really want our eldest son murdered by his own father?!" Isabelle shrieks loudly then scoffs. "You're truly mad."

"He shouldn't have talked back to me like the last time I summoned him. That kid has your attitude all over again only it's much worst!" David fires back.

"My attitude?! You, yourself have never loved my attitude! You always hated it! Always hated the fact I spoke my mind and granted, I was stubborn, I never let it get in the way of doing my job." her mother says in a rushed tone.

"I have had enough of your nonsense, Isabelle. My mind is made, the Guardian Force will murder the current Ultima." the Alpha tells her.

"Some Alpha you are. Only caring about the safety of others not your own flesh and blood." Isabelle bites back.

"Mom and Dad are fighting over our brother?" Zeiden whispers to his sister.

"I guess so." Rachel responds in a timid voice.

(BLADE)

He groans as he slowly walks forward. The burning sensation of silver races through his body like a never ending marathon. All he wants is for it to stop. For him to just close his eyes and drift into a deep slumber. Yet, he can't. At least not until his friends are saved.

The werewolf stops walking and reaches into his pocket, trying to find a cure potion. None. He sinks down to his knees and closes his eyes for a mere second. Sacred thoughts are running around his head; most of then what if scenarios.

Blade opens his eyes a moment later, only realizing he's nowhere near the lodge. Or the forest. So where is he? His golden eyes glance down and see no bandage around his chest.

He's not injured? 'Terzo, what the hell happened?' he mumbles.

'It would appear we got teleported somewhere. Away from Mate!' Terzo whines loudly.

The Alpha werewolf picks himself up to his feet and starts walking north. As he walks, he's getting strange looks and his wolf ears pick up on the murmurs.

"He's a hybrid!"

"What's a hybrid doing here? This is the human section of the school."

"Beats me! But he's a definite keeper, I mean look at him he's hot."

He sighs and continues his way until he reaches a door. Blade pushes open the door with his right hand then strolls in. His foot closes the door behind him and he lets out a breath of relief.

The adopted Lycan inhales sharply as his hand hovers over the light switch.

"Don't. It's clear you're a werewolf." he hears a voice say.

He drops his hand and folds his arms. "There's no way you'd know that." he snaps as he turns around.

A pair of glowing eyes met his. "Werewolf." he growls.

The guy snaps his fingers and the lights turn on. Blade gets a better look at the unknown guy. Slick raven colored hair is combed back nicely as the dark violet eyes fade to a vibrant hue of purple. A smirk is tossed at Blade.

"Like what you see?" the guy asks.

Blade's golden eyes turn red for a second then return back to normal. "I could care less." he mutters.

The guy laughs as another guy clears his throat.

"Getting serious now, what the hell are you doing here? We've never seen you around." the other guy asks Blade.

'Let's see, we got teleported to a different school.' Terzo bites back coldly. 'What else happened, asshole?'

Blade grins at Terzo's response. "I literally don't know." he says. "Now, if you'll excuse me; I need to go save my friends."

"You aren't going anywhere, Werewolf." the other werewolf tells him. "At least not without a fight."

"A fight? You want to fight me?" Blade clarifies then scoffs. "You'd die by my hand."

"I'd like to believe that. But sadly, I don't." the other werewolf replies.

He shifts into wolf form; a pure red wolf with specks of white along his back and dark violet eyes. The wolf pounces onto Blade, throwing the Alpha onto his back. Blade manages to kick the wolf off him then shift into his own wolf form.

The other guy can merely watch. Red eyes? Black wolf? White wolf marking on his neck? Vibrant glowing eyes? Holy shit.

"Alferno! Be careful! I think he's a Lycan!" the guy shouts to the red wolf.

Distracted, the wolf in question turns around to stare at his friend just as Terzo claws the wolf along the front leg.

"No!" the guy cries. "Al! Are you okay?"

(ONE HOUR LATER)

The other werewolf leans back on his bed, cradling his arm. He peeks an eye at Blade.

"What's your name?" he asks aloud.

"Mine?" Blade questions and sighs when the wolf nods. "It's Blade."

"Blade?" the wolf scoffs. "That cannot be your real name. It's ridiculous."

"But that's my name. It's what I've been called my whole life." Blade frowns.

"Ayden? Look up a Blade and whatever your last name is; would you for me?" the wolf tilts his head to the other guy.

Blade catches his tilt and notices the other guy sitting on a chair with a laptop in his lap.

"Way ahead of you!" Ayden calls out then glances up. "What's your last name?"

'Can we even trust them?' Blade mumbles to his wolf.

'They seem trustworthy. I truly think they wish to help us. Namely you in finding out who you really are. If all else fails, we can always ditch them but I forgot to mention that Mate knows them. Saige told me so.' Terzo rambles on for a minute.

Blade nods. "Lycan." he mutters aloud. "That's my last name."

Ayden hums and starts typing in Blade's name into the search engine. He turns the laptop around so Alferno and Blade can both see.
