Hey guys, Lauren here! Hope you guys are having a great day! I like this chapter and happily surprised that I wrote this 10 minutes ago. Enjoy! Warning though, it's going to get a little heated. (NOT LIKE THAT lol xD)
Maddy's POV
I ran through the forest, trying to lose Rhydian. I decided to jump into the river, it would lose scent. The cool water felt nice against my hot, sticky skin. It was also lucky that it was getting dark, Rhydian wouldn't be able to spot me easily.
I climbed out of the river and kept running. I could faintly smell Rhydian, but he was far away. I heard a twig snap in front of me and I crouched down, ready to attack whatever it was.
Rhydian's POV
I ran faster and faster, pushing myself to catch up. Suddenly, I couldn't smell her anymore. I had, lost her scent entirely. It hit me. The river. "Smart Maddy. But you can't fool me." I muttered, starting to run again.
I ran across the river, getting the edges of my pants and shoes wet. But I didn't care. I just needed to find Maddy. I couldn't smell her at all. Suddenly, I thought of an idea. I knew how I could find her. Eolas. I bent down and touched the smooth, wet stones. I looked up and saw Maddy.
She was circling a wild wolfblood. Not just any wild wolfblood. Jana. Jana growled at Maddy, ready to pounce. I jumped up and ran to them.
Just ahead, I could see Maddy and Jana. Jana had her back to me and Maddy was too focused on Jana to notice me. My black veins started to crawl up my arms. If she hurts my Maddy, there's going to be some issues.
"Where's your precious Rhydian?" Jana sneered. She was jealous! "Why do you care?" Maddy scoffed. "Because he's my boyfriend!" Jana lied. Maddy froze. Boyfriend to Jana? I threw up a little in my mouth.
Maddy stood there, heartbroken. Her facial expression was too much. I had to explain.
"LIAR!" I roared from my spot behind the bushes. I stood up and crossed in front of Maddy, shielding her from that lying snitch. Jana snickered at me, looking at Maddy behind me. "It's true."
I faced Maddy, who looked depressed and confused. "Mads, I swear nothing happened between us. She liked me but I didn't and don't feel that way about her." I pleaded. She looked like she believed me...until Jana said something.
"Rhydian! But you said we were mates, and we were going to grow old together and have cubs!" Jana wailed. I wish she'd shut up. Maddy had had enough. She broke into a run, crying as she went.
"Jana leave Maddy alone! I love her and you are just an annoying freak! Just go back to your pack!" I screamed. She smirked at me, slightly hurt, and walked away.
"If I can't have you, Maddy shouldn't either. I'll go back, I think I have a mate there anyway." She called. I shook my head in disgust and ran after Maddy.
Maddy's POV
I ran and ran. How could Rhydian lie? Even after he promised he loved me! I cried as I ran, but because of how heavy I was sobbing I was slowing down. I heard someone run after me, but I couldn't tell who it was.
Rhydian popped out of the bushes and stared at me, heartbroken. I tried to growl at him but it came out as a whimper. Great.
"Mads, please believe me. She's lying! I love you more than anything! You're the best thing that has ever happened to me! She fancied me in the wild but she came off as clingy and annoying. I wanted you back so badly. I jumped at the chance when Ceri disowned me!" He said, tears pouring down his face.
I sat up, alarmed. "Ceri disowned you?" I asked hoarsely. He nodded and sniffed. "Why?" He shrugged and smiled bitterly.
"She wasn't a mother. What kind of mother abandons their child at 2? She got annoyed that I was using Eolas to check up on you. She called you tame and that was the last straw. It gave me the opportunity to find you though."
I stared at him in awe. How could I be stupid enough not to trust him? I started bawling again and sank onto the ground again.
Rhydian looked at me, worried and concerned. He tried to comfort me, but I scooted away. "Mads… please forgive me." He cried.
I stopped and looked at him. He thought I still didn't believe him. "I-I-I'm s-so stupid! How could I be so heartless?!" I wailed.
He looked at me, concerned and confused. "If you believe me, why are you still crying?" He asked softly.
I started crying again and tried to explain. "I-I can't believe I didn't trust you enough. I shouldn't have trusted that wolfblood's lies over you. You don't deserve me."
"Maddy, don't you say that." Rhydian said sternly. "Look at me." I shook my head and buried my face in my pants. "Maddy." He said softer. I lifted my head and looked at him, shamefully.
"It's okay. She sounded pretty convincing. Jana is just a clingy cub. I want my alpha more than anything in the world. Come here." He cooed. I scooted over to him as he picked me up and sat me in his lap. I buried my face in the crook of his neck. "I love you." I mumbled. He snaked his arms around my waist and whispered, "I love you too."
What did you guys think? Tell me in the comments! I'm planning to make the next chapter fluffy. I love fluffy, mellow Maddian moments. ◠‿◠ Nothing dirty though. That's just not how I roll. xD I'll post it soon...and once I start it lol. Ciao xx
