Road trips bring out the worst in everyone
Welsh
Ceri slowed down from her full out sprint to a trot o see Emma and Daniel packing their bags into their car. "Where is my son?" Ceri demanded when she couldn't see him outside.
"Don't worry, Maddy and he are still sleeping. We just have to wait for Shannon and Tom to get here then we can wake them up and go."
"Those humans won't be welcomed on the bonding ground" Ceri snarled
"The magic that binds the wolves' together only welcome pack. Maddy and Rhydian consider their friends a part of their own pack and that's a good enough reason to let them go."
Ceri looked as if she was going to object, but Daniel growled angrily, "Os yw eu teuluoedd yn eu caniatáu, byddant yn mynd gyda ni ac nid oes unrhyw beth y gallwch ei wneud a fydd yn newid ein penderfyniad." (1)
Tom and Shan arrived around the same time Maddy and Rhydian woke up. "How did you get them to agree with you?" Maddy asked after finding out her friends were coming on the journey.
"We said Rhydian's biological mother showed up and wants to bond with him and his friends" Tom said proudly because it was his plan. "We also assured them that we were just going camping and Maddy's parents were coming with us." Shannon interjected.
Everyone but Ceri hopped into the van. She still doesn't believe in using human accommodations. "I know where we are going, I'll meet you there." Ceri said bitterly, still upset about the fact that her son would choose them over her.
The car ride was long and boring. The hidden dirt roads surrounded by dense woods were bumpy and all looked the same. Rhydian and Maddy seemed to get more and more agitated as time went on.
"Hey I heard about this game form the Americans. Someone asks another person if they want to buy a duck."
Maddy tuned out the sound of Tom's voice and tried to get rid of the insistent pounding headache. If she focused enough she could smell something. It was the most relaxing scent of outdoors and underline hint of must, she couldn't help but start to lean closer. The more she inhaled the more her headache went away.
"Hey Maddy you wanna buy a duck." Shannon asked with a smile on her face indicating to how much fun she was having on the trip.
"No I don't want to buy a stupid duck" Maddy shouted as she pulled her face from Rhydian's neck to show Shannon her elongated fangs. Everyone was shocked at the hostility Maddy was showing.
Emma noticed her daughters eyes were now golden and understood what was happening. "Don't worry this is what happens to soul mates during the first stage. Watch Rhydian Shan, you'll love this."
Rhydian had been sleeping, but he sensed his mate's anger. He opened his eyes to show the golden irises flash in irritation. There was only his pack mates interrupting our sleep. "Ewch yn ôl i gysgu ffrind, nid oeddent yn golygu unrhyw niwed."(2) Rhydian growled at Maddy
"Yr wyf wedi blino ac maent yn ddeffro fi i fyny, dylid eu cosbi."(3) Maddy responded.
"Ymdrin â hwy yn ddiweddarach, yr ydym yn cysgu yn rhy flinedig."(4) Rhydian gave as his final answer.
Maddy agreed to his demands and went back to sleep with her body curled comfortably next to Rhydian's.
"You're just like normal wolves." Shan said excitedly "mated males have been known to be able to calm their mates and children with sounds and vibrations from the growls they can produce."
Rhydian silenced her from continuing when he opened his eyes again to glare at her. The rest of the trip was spent in silence.
(1)- If their family allows them, they will be going with us and there is nothing you can do that will change our decision.
(2)- Go back to sleep mate, they didn't mean any harm.
(3)- I am tired and they woke me up, they should be punished.
(4)- Deal with them later, sleep we are both too tired.
