Rhydian's POV
When I get back from the moors, I put my coat and boots away and then head for the lounge. Mum and Dad are already in there waiting for me, since we haven't opened the gifts yet. I give them a hug after assuring them I'm fine, even though I've obviously been crying and we begin to open the presents.
I get the normal type of presents from the relatives; CDs, DVDs, money. Once I've opened all of mine, Mum hands me an envelope and looks at me expectantly. Feeling nervous, I rip open the top and read what's inside.
Maddy's POV
I creep over to me Mam and Dad's den, and wake them as silently as I can. "Merry Christmas!" I whisper to them, and we exchange hugs. We may not have presents but at least we have each other. I talk to them for a while, before Mam reminds me of the time. "You'd better get back to your den Mads, everyone will be waking up in about ten minutes."
I nod and run back to my den that I share with Ben, 'my soon to be' mate. Even thinking about it makes my eyes fill with tears. A few years ago, I'd dreamt of finding a mate in Rhydian, and for us to live happily ever after. Stupid, I know. But back then I didn't know how cure the world was, and how no matter how hard you try, everything you care about will be taken away. Now all i have to look forward to is living in the woods, sleeping on the floor and eating raw meat. Then now on, I've decided that it's easier not to care at all.
It was six months ago, almost to the day when my life changed again, just when I'd got used to living rough. It's wasn't my fault, but there was nothing Mam or any of the other females could say that would make it any better. That's when I was dumped with Ben and I realised I had to let Rhydian go. Not that it would be hard. How could he want me now? I'm a freakā¦
Ohhhhhhhh! What is in Rhydian's card, and why does Maddy have a mate?! Find out in the next chapter!
