The Lifted Darkness

Madi's Father's P.O.V

I'd still been in a slight shock after having been punched by a stranger. The girl had looked and smelled familiar. I began to pace around the entrance, thinking about where I might've seen her before, but nothing came to mind. I was suddenly snapped from my thoughts when hearing someone being dragged outside. I rushed to the door and opened it. Seeing Derek being dragged like he was a non-heavy bag that you held in a weird way.

"Derek, What the hell happened to you, and who is she?" I asked just before he passed out. I looked toward the girl holding him with a furious expression. "What did you do to him?!" My voice was deeper than it had been before because of the rage. Nobody messed with my nephew like that.

"DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME," screamed Paige as she started to get pissed off, she tried to steady her voice "He wAs DraGging mE thrOugh ThE woods then he started to get weak so I then grabbed him and started to drag him here," finished Paige as she sat Derek down on the ground, putting his head down, and it looked like she was trying to be careful, but she could've been acting to trick me.

I furrowed my brows, glaring at her. "And I'm supposed to believe that? what do you think I am? Stupid?!" My eyes glowed red with rage. Yes, I was an alpha. Boohoo. Anyways, I could sense Paige's fear, but that just encouraged me more. I grabbed her arm harshly before feeling myself being drained. Immediately, I pieced it together, knowing exactly what happened to Derek. Not only that, but I knew what SHE was.

Madi's P.O.V

I was still in my wolf form, outraged at both Derek and my father. Suddenly, I heard yelling. I moved my ears to get a better listen and almost had a heart attack. It was Paige and my father. What if he hurt her? I knew how dangerous he was. I raced over as fast as I could while growling. Once I arrived, I lunged at my father, snarling with a scrunched-up face. When I jumped toward my father's back, he turned and I placed my paw on his chest and let out a deep growl. All of my pent-up anger from over the years was all coming out. My mother was dead because of this man. He'd abandoned me. Left me like I was nothing. And now, he had the audacity to threaten my best friend?! I snarled and bit at him, just barely grazing his face with my teeth. Azazel put his hands into fits and started to punch me right in the ribs repeatedly. I heard a bone crack. I yelped in pain, got off of him, and backed up. Falling to the ground from the pain, I began to whimper and pant with my tail tucked. He got up and started to walk towards me, just then Paige stood in front of him

Paige's P.O.V

"DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ONE MORE STEP TOWARD HER OR ILL KICK YOUR ASS! I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE STRENGTH AND I DON'T! I'LL STILL WIN" I yelled as I got into a Wing Chun pose.
