The three of them were quiet as they stared at Javier and I. Kim, Mia and Rafa were sat on the motel bed listening intently as Javier and I explained why we had broken them out of the Vernal Pack. There was a long silence, after we'd finished explaining, before Kim spoke up.

"I left Yellowstone two years ago...I can't just stroll back in" Kim grumbled.

I frowned, "the other Alpha's said that you left to follow Yemi when he was taken out of Yellowstone".

"Mia did" she said, nodding towards her sister. "I always wanted to live with humans...well Werewolves at least. My mother may have been an actual wild Wolf, but I'm not a savage and I refuse to live like one".

"Mother is not a savage" Mia snapped at her sister.

"I gotta ask" I cut in, "how did you guys learn to speak and walk and...well just be normal? Because I met Yemi and he hasn't got much humanity left".

"Kim and I are twins, we came from the same litter from our Wolf mother" Mia explained softly and with patience. "When we reached toddler age, Kim and I Shifted into humans but the rest of the litter didn't. Our father then managed to hide us in a cavern on the mountain side and when we were human he stayed there with us...often when we became Wolves again we went back to our mother. We can never control the Shifts, not like a Werewolf can".

"I can control it" Kim shot in.

Mia rolled her eyes, "fine, Kim can control her Shifts. I can't. My sister left Yellowstone two years ago, just after our sixteenth birthday, but I didn't want to leave. But, then our father died last year and I was very lonely. So, when Yemi was taken, I decided that I was going to leave too. I managed to find Kim and then we found Rafa".

"I don't understand why the others don't just leave?" Chris frowned in confusion.

"Those of us who were born at the park can, because we're not chipped. But the original Werewolves who were taken to the park were chipped by the scientists, so they can't just up and leave".

"Because humans will know and they'll find out about Werewolves" I added in. I leant back in my seat and was quiet for a few minutes, before I spoke up again. "I understand everything...except Rafa. Where the hell do you fit in, dickwad?"

Rafa didn't react to my insult, but he answered my question. "My mother was one of the Wolves taken to Yellowstone all those years ago".

"No she wasn't" Javier spoke up, "Aunt Amie died when we were kids. Your mother isn't in Yellowstone, Javier, she's dead".

"No" he shook his head, "abuelo told me so".

"He was lying, Rafa. I'm sorry but your madre is dead" Javier said, he was soft with Rafa and I could see sympathy in his eyes.

"She's not. You'll see when we get those Wolves out of Yellowstone. She'll be there" he snapped at his cousin. I could see that it was best not to get involved in their family drama, and turned back to Kim – she seemed to be the strongest and the 'leader' of their little threesome.

"Do you think you can get their trackers out and swap them out?" I asked her.

"I'll need help, so I hope your friends are up for the task" she replied.

"Oh they are".

Dean and Oli had the task of capturing wild Wolves, which we would swap out with the Werewolves we were rescuing. They were going to meet Kim and the others in Yellowstone in three days times. Kim and Mia had to be there to convince the one who wanted to leave, to come with them – as they may not trust Wolves from the Pack that left them there in the first place.
