Hey guys! There's not much to say to say so enjoy this chapter. Ciao xx

Maddy's POV

I whizzed through the trees at wolfblood speed. I stopped and laid under the tree I was looking for. It was mine and Rhydian's old favorite spot. I wondered if he still remembered it.

Breathing heavily, I let my mind wander. Although it didn't wander for long before settling on its topic. Rhydian, of course. Was he really going to kiss me? Gosh, I wish he had. But then he looked at me in a friend-sort of way. Were all those forehead kisses just friendly kisses or did they mean something? Did he really mean it when he said he loved me? It was probably just a spur of the moment thought. I thought sadly.

I started to cry again, holding myself as I started to sob. I'm so pathetic.

Third Person's POV

Rhydian ran through the forest, following Maddy's scent. When they couldn't find her, he had assured Maddy's parents he would find her. Did I do something wrong? Again? Rhydian thought miserably.

He came to a familiar part of the forest and stopped. In front of him was a sobbing Maddy under their old favorite tree. It was theirs. He rushed over to her and held her face in his hands. "Oh my gosh Mads, I'm so sorry. Please stop crying." He pleaded, on the verge of tears. Why had he come back? He was causing Maddy so much pain.
Maddy stared up at him, sniffling.

"Please don't cry Rhydian. I'm just s-so confused." She stuttered. Rhydian caressed her face and ushered her to go on. "I-I'm just not sure where we stand. Were you going to kiss me? Were all those other kisses just friendly ones or did they mean something? Last night, did you mean it when you told me you loved me? I sure meant it." Maddy cried.

Rhydian stared at her in awe. "Mads, I really do love you. So much. When I was in the wild, my heart ached for you every day. I wanted to go run and find you. I wanted to kiss you so badly but I just settled for kisses that may have came off as friendly. But they meant the exact opposite. I love you Maddy." He said, pouring his heart out in every syllable.

Maddy leaned forward and kissed him. Softly at first, but the kiss became more passionate as Rhydian kissed her back. The kiss was salty and wet, but perfect. When they pulled a part, breathing heavily, Maddy looked into Rhydian's eyes, her forehead pressing his. "I love you too Rhydian." Rhydian smiled and made their noses touch.

Maddy laid down and looked at the puffy, white clouds rolling by. "Remember this tree?" she asked quietly. He slid down beside her and closed his eyes. Smiling, he remembered one of his favourite memories of this tree.

~Flashback (Rhydian's POV)~

I ran just in front of Maddy, grinning like crazy. I looked back to see her jump over a log I had jumped over a minute ago. I slowed down and waited for her. "Want...want to take a break?" I wheezed. Panting, Maddy shook her head and grinned. "We're almost to our tree anyway." Before breaking into a full wolfblood run, Maddy shoved me, causing me to stumble. "Hey! Cheater!" I called before running after her.

She laughed and kept running. Our tree was just ahead and I was gaining on Maddy. Just as we were at the same pace, we both tripped over a tree root and fell to the ground. I landed on top of her and laughed. "So who wins?" I asked, flashing her a cheeky grin. She smiled and realised our placement. Her cheeks became beet red.

She simply shoved me off and ran to our tree. I dusted off my dirty jeans and jogged to keep up with her. I laid down next to her and sighed. She nudged me, forcing me to look at her. "Th-thanks for helping me out. I was gonna explode if I hadn't gone running." I smiled and simply replied, "Anytime Mads."

~End Of Flashback~

"Rhydian!" Maddy shouted. He flinched and looked over at her. "Yeah Mads?" She cocked her head and examined him. "What were ye thinking about?" He smiled at her and brushed some hair behind her ear. "I was thinking about the day before your first transformation. The one where you almost wolfed out during the maths exam and we went running. I was thinking about the run."

"That was one of the best runs of me life." She smiled. "Every run with you is the best run of my life." He grinned cheekily. "That was cheesy." She giggled. "Then why you laughing?" Rhydian smirked. "Because you're adorable!" She exclaimed.

Rhydian mocked a hurt expression. "I'm not adorable! I'm a wolfblood!" Maddy thought for a second and giggled. "You're MY adorable wolfblood. One of a kind." He smiled warmly at her and kissed her delicately on her forehead. "I swear, I don't know what I'd do without you Mads." He whispered in her ear. He leaned over and wrapped his arms around her waist. Maddy, locked in his arms, turned towards him and ran her fingers through his hair.

He kissed her softly at first and then more passionate. Maddy kissed him back with as much force and passion as he was giving. Rhydian broke away first, breathing heavily. "Wh-why did ye stop?" Maddy panted. Untangling himself from her, Rhydian laughed and gestured to Maddy's panting. She giggled with him and stood up.

"What do you want to do now?" Rhydian asked. Maddy shrugged and looked around. She suddenly had an idea and grinned at him. "What is it Ma-"

"TAG YOU'RE IT!" Maddy screamed running away at wolfblood speed. "You are such a kid!" Rhydian yelled at her, chasing after her. "I'm coming for you Mads!" He yelled with glee. "Oh really?" She called out from somewhere. Rhydian stopped and looked around. Where did she go? Maddy jumped down from a tree and sprinted off.

Rhydian ran after her, gaining on her with every step. Maddy turned around to see Rhydian flying at her, taking her down with him. His arms locked around Maddy as they tumbled down a hill. When they stopped rolling, Rhydian laid on top of Maddy. "Who's the top dog now?" He asked cheekily.

Maddy growled playfully and tried to shove him off her. Rhydian didn't budge. He laid on her, obviously enjoying her frustration. "Rhyd, GET OFF." She whined. "Nope." He laughed, popping the p. "You're going to regret it if you don't budge soon." She warned, growling for effect.

He laughed at her, still on top of her. Maddy's eye turned gold, the way they did when she transformed. Rhydian stopped laughing and looked around, making sure no one was around. "Maddy! Stop flashing your eyes at me!" He hissed. Maddy kept growling at him, getting angrier and angrier. "Mads, stop it. Now." Rhydian said sternly.

Maddy snapped. She pushed him with all her might and send him onto his back. Maddy stood up growling and walked away briskly. Rhydian sat up, winded. He always pushed her too far didn't he? He jumped up and followed Maddy's scent.
