-Chapter 2-

Maddy's POV

Rhydian had just asked me out this morning and now I will have to say goodbye to him when we should be having our first date. I have been wanting him to ask me out for months. I hate that I have to say goodbye but it won't be a "good" bye. I wish that he could go with us, but if he did I could never come back because we would be accused of kidnapping. We made our way down the plain. I look at my mum and she nods, so I let go of Rhydian's arm and ran in front of them all. "This is as far as you go," I said, standing in front of them all. I talked to them but all I could think of was how I could say bye to them. I hugged Tom and Shannon. Then, I stood in front of him, I wanted to cry but I know that I couldn't. I didn't know what to say and all I could spit out was,

"I love you."

He looked stunned I was scared he didn't like me like that. He stepped closer, wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I twisted my arms around his chest. He kissed me! I was so happy. All I could think about was this would be the first and the last kiss. We pulled apart and he pulled me close to his chest. I never wanted to let go. Then, I heard him whisper in my ear.

"One day when I am older and no one cares what I do. I am going to find you, Maddy, I promise."

I was speechless. I knew that I had to go no matter how much I wanted to stay. I stepped back holding his hand and I said, "We will find each other." I let go of his hand and turned and walked away. It hurt so much. I saw my mum's and dad's hands stretched out wide. I took their hands and we walked down the hill not looking back. We got to the top of the second hill and I looked at Tom, Shannon and Rhydian, they were hugging. Mum and dad where in front of me. We stopped and howled. Now that we were in wolf form, it was instinct. We walked on, I could only hear Rhydian howling and crying. I hated it, it hurt me to hear it.

I fell to the ground and started to yelp. My mum and dad ran to me to see what was wrong. They transformed in to their human form. Mum looked at dad and dad nodded.

-Third Person POV-

Maddy and Rhydian just said goodbye but when she was out of his site the pain was next to impossible to bare. When she stepped away the pain grew. She was almost a mile away and it hurt too much when she heard Rhydian crying and yelping. She clasped to the ground. He parents ran to her side they changed back to the human form. They looked up to each other and Daniel (Maddy's dad) nodded. They knew what was wrong, Maddy and Rhydian were mates and they couldn't be apart for long. Maddy changed into her human form and Daniel and Emma (Maddy's mum) carried her to Jana's camp.

-Maddy's POV-

In her dream: Rhydian and I were running. In where it looked like the moors and he was in the lead. All of a sudden he turned and grabbed me. He wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed me and I kissed him. I was is happy! Not more than a moment later, we heard a sound and pulled apart. We looked in the direction of the sound and I felt something grab me and pulled us away from each other. I screamed as loud as I could. I tried to break free of whatever was holding me. "MADDY," screamed Rhydian. Then, it all faded into darkness.

I woke up crying; almost screaming. It was the first light of day. All I remembered is feeling a pain in my chest that was unbearable, the pain was still there but not as bad. Then, it all came back to me, saying bye to Tom, Shan, and Rhydian. I sat there, thinking about all the times we had together. I decided to get up and walk around.

-Outside the tent-

No one was awake. I realized that I must have been carried to Jana's pack after I passed out. I looked around, there was 20 tents in a circle. The tents were made out of animal skins and sticks. The camp also had one big tent in the center of the circle and there were fires here and there to light the camp. I saw a light inside the big tent, so I decided to see what it was. As I walked in a saw a camp fire with five men sitting around it with weapons. Ones I stepped in. They all jumped to attention and pointing there weapons at me. I jumped back and put my hands up. The tallest one said, "Who are you?" "My name is Maddy My parents and I just joined your pack" I said to him in a voice that sounded like if I said something wrong I would be stabbed, which was true. "Stand down guys, sorry, I am Adam" he said with a very commanding tone. Then, a boy with blond, that was a little bit sorter then the first boy spoke, "And I am Zane," "I am Mathew," said a boy with black hair, he looked a little bit more built then Zane and Adam but not like a body builder. "And I am Sir Robin," said a shorter looking boy that seemed to be maybe 14. As he said this, I could not help but giggle a little from the way he bowed like he was from the 1800's. He also had black hair like Mathew. Then, a boy who looked like he was maybe 10 or 11 pushed his way through the other boys and said, "And I'm Coal." He had jet black hair with bright green eye. He was very cute in a huggable way. All of them had old worn clothes that had a little bit of dirt here and there but the clothes didn't look like they were too small.

"What are you doing out of bed, you're not supposed to be out after dark," said Adam in a voice that was commanding but trying to not be too harsh. "Take it easy on her. She's new here and she doesn't know the rules," said Robin trying to stand up for me. "Well, Robin what if the others saw her and tried to attack her," said Adam in an annoyed voice. 'What? Who is wanting to attack the pack?'

"Who is wanting to attack the pack?" I said.

"They are the outcasts of the pack. They have been taking people from our pack on by one and making them join their pack" said Adam turning and looking at me with an even more annoyed tone. "Why are they making people join their pack," I said in a very interested tone. Then, Coal walked over to Adam's side and said, "They are trying to get enough people so they can attack our pack. For some reason, they really hate us."

Jana walked in and said, "Oh, stop it, she just got here. You can scare her later boys."

"Do we have too," said Robin in a joking voice.

"Go on guys, I'm going to give Maddy a tour of the camp," said Jana as she walked over to me and hooked her arm in mine and pulled me out of the tent laughing.

*****two hours later*****

The tour took almost two hours. Jana told me that I would have to hunt and that she would get someone to teach me tomorrow, but for today I would just have to do my chores. She also told me that we would be moving camp in about two months and that usually we stayed at one place for about three or four months. When she asked me about how Rhydian was I almost burst out crying but I stopped myself and didn't answer her. Since then, she has been kind of angry at me so I stayed a little way away in case she started to yell at me.

She turned around and said, "Well, that is the end of the tour. I need to do some work, so you can do as you wish just don't go outside the boundaries and in one hour the entire pack is meeting in the big tent." "Ok" I said. She turned around and ran off leaving me standing there with nothing to do.

I am sorry this is so late. It is a long story but long story short, my mom took forever to spell check my work. I do have an update day now. I will be updating a new chapter every Tuesday. I will do my very best to stick to the update date. So, please review. I would like to see what you all think. Thank you so much for reading.
