I missed my puppy, I missed him a lot. I haven't talked to him since that day he told me about the things Dylan was thinking about Raiden.

I love my human more than anything and it really, really hurt me to hear how selfish and truly cruel Dylan had been towards him, but I couldn't help watching as Raiden and Dylan found a way to come back together despite my own selfishness.

I couldn't believe I actually told Raiden what Dylan was thinking in the past, I was hurt, but it didn't give me a right to ruin his bond with Dylan especially since I seen how much they were trying.

I was wrong, but then I knew I was right.

I knew Raiden needed to hear the truth, but was it really my place to tell him that? Was that really the way to do it?

Telling him during an intimate moment between him and his mate? I could have waited and been more sensitive in the way I relayed the information.

I was just so mad at Maddox and I let it get to me, which was wrong.

Despite what's happened in the past, watching through Raiden's eyes, it seems they have found a way to come back together and try to learn how to trust each other again.

That's the main thing I love about my human, his heart is so pure, sometimes it hurts to see how amazing he truly is.

I have to talk to Maddox about all of this and I have to apologize for being so rude to him. Raiden is right, it's not my puppies fault that his human was an idiot in the past and I can't blame him for Dylan's actions.

After wandering around for what seemed like hours, I reached out into the darkness in the confides of our humans minds and call out to my mate.

"Puppy?"

"Kitty!" He exclaims almost instantly, his voice was laced with desperation.

"Hi puppy, can you come to me please? I can't find you."

I wait patiently in the shadows until I smell his beautiful scent. Maddox smelled like honey and lemon to me, much like Dylan smells to Raiden.

I always thought it was funny that Gods and Goddesses would give my mate a lemon scent, knowing how much felines hate all citrusy smells.

"Hi kitty!" Maddox yells happily, running towards me.

"Hi puppy." I purr at him as his body collides into mine.

"I'm so sorry kitty, I didn't mean to hurt you or Raiden.. I shouldn't have told you what Dylan was thinking in the past, it didn't help anything. I thought it would when you wouldn't mark me, I thought if I told you how different I was from Dylan, that you would trust me, but I made things worse and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"

"Puppy, the blame is on both of us. We both were wrong. I shouldn't have denied you and I shouldn't have told Raiden what you said in such a horrible way. Neither one of us should be interfering in our humans lives unless it comes to their happiness, which I ruined by telling Raiden about the past. Nothing good came of this, we were both at fault and I'm sorry Maddox.. I'm sorry I treated you so badly, I'm sorry I put you in the same category as your human because you are not him and you're not at fault for his actions, nothing he's done is your fault and I'm so sorry for making you feel like it was... I was wrong my love."

He whines at me before nuzzling against my neck, I return his affection.

"Let's never fight about our humans again ok, our relationship isn't theirs and vice versa." Maddox suggest and I nod in agreement.

"Whatever they argue about, we shouldn't get involved unless they ask our opinion, but even then, we should just be neutral. Never offer advice when it comes to each other. Our love stays between us. Nomore talk of their past mistakes."

"I agree kitty."

I nuzzle into him again before laying my head on top of his neck, nudging him to lay down. He does without much fight and I start to groom him, purring in contentment.

"I love you so much kitty."

"I love you too puppy."

I continue to groom my mate feeling so much love for him in this moment. I intended to stay this way with him until Raiden tugged on my tether, telling me that he needed me.

It was so beautiful that Maddox and I could come to an agreement, an understanding, a loving resolution to our past issues without arguing, without fighting, without name calling and without unnecessary attitudes.

Just acknowledge our wrongs, take the blame for our actions, never making excuses and being completely honest with each other about how we were feeling and what we want moving forward.

And our humans call us the beasts.
