Sometime after his first transformation, Rhydian was relocated to Stoneybridge to live with a new foster family. We see Rhydian the day after his second transformation. On his first day at his new school in Stoneybridge, the Ks find him very attractive and try to persuade him to be their friend. Walking in class, Maddy makes a fool of herself by saying "you smell like my parents" (Maddy's is a not yet a full transformed wolfblood, and with her already having her wolfblood power of increased sense of smell , she can smell the Rhydian's scent.) As people try to befriend Rhydian, Maddy worries he could expose her and her family's secret. Rhydian has a hard time trying to keep the secret at first, and he feels isolated for a few episodes until he starts to bond with the Smith's pack. After Jimi, the school bully picks on Rhydian on his first day, his anger goes out of control, and he uses his wolfblood power to attack him. Maddy manages to pull him off of Jimi and hide him in the dark room. Rhydian's anger takes over and he transforms and runs wild, trashing the equipment. Maddy's eyes turn to her wolf yellow as she comes face to face with wolf Rhydian and calms him down.
