I know ANOTHER UPDATE. Seeing as it's so close to Christmas, I'll try to make a few updates before for both stories. Shouldn't really be writing as I several work things to do to make sure I finish at 1 on Christmas Eve but due to my neighbours being…. Ahem rude, I've had my IPod out which, of course, has given me inspiration. So please enjoy, oh and to ilovebobbylockwood, I hope this chapter makes up for the cliffhanger.

The next morning
Maddy groaned the muscles in her body protesting as she stretched out on the old beaten coach. She paused for a second, confused by her surroundings, as the last thing she remembered was being in the forest with Rhydian. The pain in her chest began to pound at the thought of him. She moaned at the pain as the door to the den was unlocked and opened. Maddy sat partially upright as Shannon and her Mam walked in, each carrying either a plate of breakfast or a mug of coffee. Maddy smiled in appreciation as Shannon passed the mug to her before nearly downing the entire beverage.
"How are you feeling?" Maddy looked up at her Mam before answering
"My chest hurts and my muscles feel tight" Shannon rubbed Maddys back before asking
"Do you remember what happened last night?" Maddy shook her head. Shannon looked over at Emma who simply said
"It's normal" Maddy looked between the two of them before asking
"What's normal? What happened last night?" Shannon took the empty cup from Maddy and placed it down.
"You're in Heat" Maddy looked at Shannon in horror before looking at her Mam. Emma sighed before saying
"It's true. You're of age now that the mating season applies to you. You're giving of a pheromone that male wolfbloods are responding to. You've bonded to Rhydian, this is why he ran back to find you. His wolf knows that you are ready to mate" Maddy looked at the ground, blushing. Her Mam had never explained anything like this to her before and, suddenly, the avoidance of answering physical education questions that her teacher had asked them to, made complete sense. There was no point answering anything that didn't apply to them.
Maddy bit her lip before asking
"So what happened after I transformed?" Emma moved closer to her before saying
"Your dad and I had to get you away from Rhydian until you were both ready for this. You weren't happy and there was a small fight but we managed to get you back here and force you into the den through the shaft" Maddy looked properly at her, wincing slightly at the slowly healing bite marks of her arm.
"Sorry," Emma smiled before Maddy continued "But where did Rhydian go?"
"He ran when we got there but he didn't go far. He's been watching from the hill all night. He is still there now" Maddy nodded, feeling relieved that he hadn't left.
"So does he know yet?"
"Yes" The reply never came from Emma but a huskier voice behind Maddy. She turned, smiling at the sight of Rhydian in the doorway.
