Jayda's POV
I woke up to a knock on the door. I hear the shower running so Maddox is in there.
"Who is it?" I called out.
"Its us" Nikki and Ellie's voice says from behind the door.
"Oh okay, well guys I need to get ready and stuff so I'll meet you two downstairs, love you" I say and
pull the covers off of me.
"Kay bye, love you too" Nikki says then They leave.
Maddox comes out of the bathroom shirtless water still dripping down his chest and his hair damp. He
is only wearing dark jeans.
He looks fuckable.
So, so fuckable.
Every time I see him I feel a Hunger or something. I have no idea how to explain it but my body heats
up and I just want to have my way with him. Normal werewolf couples would have made love by now
but I think we came to a silent agreement that it wasn't time. So many things have been happening
lately not only with Maddox but with everything else.
"You are awake" Maddox deep deep voice points out.
"No duh" I say with a laugh, walking towards him. Wrapping my hands around his torso tightly "Morning
Maddox" I say, my cheek against his bare chest.
Maddox wraps his arms around my waist and kissed the top of my head. "Good morning Jayda"
We stay there, hugging each other for I don't know how long until Maddox clears his throat and
unwraps his arms from around me, I do the same.
"I have to go to a meeting with Ian, It might take a while so just go out with Ellie and Nicole to the mall
or something. Or if you want you can come to the meeting with me" Maddox says while putting on a
shirt.
"Will Anna be there?" I ask faking disinterest.
"Nope, she can't. Only Alphas and Lunas can attend"
Ha! She can't go. Knowing she isn't allowed to go somewhere I can gives me satisfaction, no idea why.
"I'll pass, Nikki and Ellie would surely murder me if I leave them alone when I was the one that invited
them." I explain.
He nods "I don't mind. These meetings are pretty damn boring. They try to reason with us Alphas and
convince us to painlessly kill rogues and shit. Don't they know that if I want to kill someone I want them
to suffer?! If I am killing them its for a reason" Maddox exclaims with a can-you-believe-it face.
"I think you should listen to them" I say with a shrug.
"Jayda, if I am killing them then they did something bad. So they deserve to suffer" Maddox replies
while putting his shoes on.
"I am not having this conversation with you again, we are definitely not going to agree with each other
so why bother" I mutter and Maddox rolls his eyes.
"Its not a big deal" he states.
"Not a big deal?" I exclaim then add "killing people is not a big deal?" I am getting mad.
He shrugs "Not really."
"What if it was you? Wouldn't you want people to give you mercy or at least a painless death?" I ask,
my chest tightens almost painfully at the thought of someone hurting Maddox.
"I've done some bad things in my life so I would deserve what I get" Maddox says calmly, as if it wasn't
a big deal.
Well damn.
"What if it was me? If someone was going to kill me. Would you want me to be tortured or would you
want me to be killed painfully" I say and Maddox eyes darken while he glares at me.
"Don't say shit like that Jayda, its not funny. Nobody is going to hurt you. Ever. I will never allow it. If
anyone dares to touch a hair on your head They will regret being born. How I torture rogues will be a
childs play compared to what I would do to them" Maddox growls out.
That escalated quickly.
"It was just an example Maddox, I know you wont let anything happen to me" I sigh.
"Well don't play with things like that" he says gruffly.
"Lets just end this conversation here" I mutter.
"Yeah lets" he replies.
We stare at each other, neither of use saying anything.
"You know I am trying to be the mate you deserve, I want to be understanding. But feelings come hard
to me. The way I am with you, I-I- I really doubt I will ever treat other people like that. I just don't give a
fuck about them. Sure I love my siblings and my pack but not to the extent I love you. With that said. If
you know I find it hard to express my feelings to my sister and my pack. don't expect me to show
compassion to rogues who I simply don't care about." He blurts out, then says, "I will see you later" he
gives me a peck on the lips then exits the room.
I stay in the same spot for a few seconds then with a big sigh I walk to the bathroom.
I take a quick shower then wrap a towel around my body. Brush my teeth and go back to the room.
I towel dry my hair and slip my clothes on.
When I am finally ready I exit he room.
I run down the stairs two at a time, someone on the last 4 steps I end up tripping and fall painfully on
my ass.
"Ow" I Mumble rubbing my butt and walking towards the kitchen.
There Ellie and Nikki were talking animately.
"Damn took you long enough" Ellie says and Nikki hands me a plate of pancakes.
"Want to go to the mall?" i ask.
Ellie scowls "Oh so now you want to hang, after you abandoned us as soon as we arrived?. Its as if
you were avoiding us"
I sigh "I'm sorry I just had a lot of stuff on my mind" I apologize
"Sure you did" Ellie says sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"I'm serious! And if you guys don't want to go then I'll go by my damn self but drop the fucking attitude"
I snap.
Ellie looks taken back by my outburst, Nikki just stands awkwardly.
"Look why don't we all just take a chill pill? We all need to talk this out and I know a trip to the mall is
the perfect way" Nikki says after a few seconds of silence.
"Fine" Ellie and I say in Unison.
"Good, now you finish your pancakes" Nikki says and hands me a cup of coffee.
I take a sip of the coffee and sigh happily. It was actually pretty good.
While eating my pancakes I debate whether or not I should tell them my situation with Jayson.
They are my closest friends so I think they deserve to know.
After I am done eating I put my plates inside the dishwasher then walk silently towards Maddox's truck
with Ellie and Nikki.
We start driving towards the mall and after 10 minutes of awkward silence I speak up.
"My dad, he" I take a deep breath "He didn't leave my mom as soon as he found his mate"
"Wait what?" Ellie asks and Nikki's face also shows confusion.
"He lied, he told me that he abandoned us because he found his mate but that was bullshit" I say, my
voice void of any emotion.
"How do you know he lied?" Asked Ellie.
