Chapter One
It's been three months since Maddy's first change, of which she has spent the last two locked up in the den with her parents. She's starting to miss the night of her first change more and more, where she could run and be free all night long, the secluded island had been brilliant, there was no way anyone would notice a Wolfblood running around there. But the thing she missed most, would probably be spending her full moon with Rhydian… Their relationship had changed that night, the fact that they had nuzzled each other a bit more than she would any other Wolfblood was probably the reason why.
It was the day before the full moon and she was starting to get itchy already. Whenever she was near Rhydian he'd notice and go run with her, which was amazing, but they always had to go back to school again afterwards, which made her anxious all over again. What was even more frustrating was that Rhydian seemed totally unaffected. Where she'd have to run away from crowded, noisy places, he seemed totally fine.
Maddy was sitting at her desk after the last period of school had ended, deep in thought. Her friends had noticed, but decided not to comment on it, since Rhydian was already making his way towards her. 'Wanna go for a run Maddy?' Maddy, who didn't notice Rhydian standing next to her, jumped up in surprise. 'I don't know Rhydian, I've been feeling more anxious than the last times. I'm not sure if running any more will help.' She sighed and put her head on her arms, which were resting on her desk. 'Is there a reason why you're so anxious this time?' Maddy peeked out from under her eyelashes. She didn't want to tell Rhydian about the fact that she missed spending the full moon outside, with him. It would probably ruin their friendship if she told him she especially missed their time spent as wolves together. So instead of giving him an answer, she just groaned and put her head down again.

After spending a while in awkward silence, Rhydian gathered that she wasn't going to answer his question, so he suggested they go home for the day. Since Maddy lived on the other side of the forest, they decided to take a shortcut through there and broke out into a sprint the moment they were out of sight. They both laughed, Rhydian chasing Maddy, who'd gained the lead when they took a turn. His instincts were kicking in, he was chasing her as fast as he could, trying to catch up to the female who was trying to run away from him. When he saw another turn come up, he decided to cut the corner to catch up to her and before she could react to his actions, he'd already jumped and pinned her to the ground. They were both breathing heavily from the chase, but the adrenaline was still coursing through their veins. Rhydian began to growl when Maddy began trying to squirm her way out of his hold on her arms. As soon as Maddy heard it, she stilled herself, eyes growing wide and pupils dilating. She tried to stifle the whine working it's way up her throat, but failed miserably. Rhydian didn't let up, even after hearing her whine, but instead began to nuzzle his way down her neck. She shifted her neck at this, baring it for him. It wasn't something she could control with him, it all came so naturally. When Rhydian noticed her submitting to him, he loosened his hold on her, sighing against her neck, nibbling on it just hard enough so that there would be a small mark. He came up from her neck and looked satisfied at his accomplishments, feeling his instincts slowly fade away after satisfying them for now.
Maddy on the other hand was still breathing heavily, her own instincts telling her to stay completely still and submit to this wolf who had claimed her. When Rhydian noticed that Maddy was still not moving an inch, he shifted his eyes to hers and saw that she was still looking very intensely at him. He suddenly registered what he'd just done. He'd tried to claim Maddy, chased her like a wild wolf chasing his mate. Pinned her to the ground and dominating her, making her submit and marking her, even though it was barely even visible. He quickly moved off of her, noticing his pants had become uncomfortably tight because of all this. Maddy seemed to relax after he got off and slowly began to move her limbs again, keeping an eye on the wolf who'd just displayed his dominance over her.
After Maddy finally got up on her feet again, Rhydian turned away from her and started moving towards her house again, he had no idea what to say to her after all that… He should probably apologize, right? So when Maddy's house came into view, he stopped and turned around, opening his mouth to apologize, when suddenly Maddy's dad called them. He looks surprised and turns around again, curious about what Daniel had to say to them. Daniel walked up to them and eyed them curiously, noticing the tension around them, but decided not to comment on it. 'Hey pups, I know tomorrow night's the full moon and all, but your mom and I need to go to a family member who really needs our help right now. Because of this, we won't be back before the full moon, so we're going to spend it at their house.' Maddy didn't know what to say, was she going to have to spend the full moon all alone tomorrow? But before she could even ask, Rhydian spoke up 'Should I ask my foster parents if it's okay to spend the night here? I'm sure Maddy would appreciate some company if you'll both be away, wolves get anxious when they're alone after all.' Daniel brightened up at this 'Thank you so much for suggesting Rhydian, I was going to ask you anyways, since I wouldn't want my cub to have to be alone.' Rhydian just smiled back at Daniel and they started to make their way inside, Daniel already going back upstairs to continue packing his supplies together with his wife. Maddy still hadn't spoken a word, so Rhydian just smiled at her 'Tomorrow's full moon's going to be amazing!'
