Maddox POV
This can't be happening? More deaths?
I turn to Marco "What the hell were you going to say?"
Marco takes a deep breath "I need to go pee" and with that I slap my fist into his face knocking him out.
I wish he would just die.
I turn to Garret "Take me to the bodies"
He nods and starts walking out of the cellars, I follow behind him.
I feel the anger coming back (not like it ever left) when I realize where we are going.
Garret led me to Sylvia's house.
I actually liked Sylvia.
When we enter her house I see her fragile body on the floor. Hazel eyes wide open but not breathing.
I felt furious. I had know Sylvia for my whole life. She used to always give Nicole and I cookies when
we were little and babysat us when my parents were away.
Upon further inspection I see that she has the same puncture wound in her neck that was on the 6
other dead pack members.
I turn to Garret, "Call in an emergency pack meeting in 10 minutes. Everyone who isn't in the panic
room needs to attend."
He nods then leaves. I start walking to Nicole's house so I can get Jayda, she needs to be there
whenever I make an announcement I should also apologize for how I acted.
I might have been a little bit mean to her.
Just a teeny tiny bit.
Without knocking I try to open the door, only to find it closed.
Of course the door is closed you dumbass, theres a killer on the lose.
Sighing I knock loudly "Open the door Nicole" a few seconds later she opens the door.
"stop being so loud, Jayda is sleeping" Nicole snaps
I sigh and ask "Where?"
"She's mad at you" Nikki answers instead.
"I don't care, where the hell is she?" I snap.
"You're a werewolf, sniff her out. I'm not helping you with shit until you stop being an ass" Nicole snaps
then heads to the kitchen.
Instead of going after her to start an argument I follow Jayda's scent that leads me to a room upstairs.
There she was, looking as beautiful as ever with her eyes closed and her hands resting on her huge
pregnant belly.
I feel my cold exterior melting, even in times as messed up as this she always makes things better,
unless she is outside where she can get hurt.
Sighing I walk towards her, crouching down next to her sleeping form and shake her softly.
"Jayda, wake up" I mumble.
She stirs a bit until her eyes flutter open.
As soon as her gaze lands on me she scowls and sits up. "What are you doing here?"
I raise an eyebrow "I'm here to talk to you"
Jayda rolls her eyes "I don't want to talk to you"
I take a deep breath "Jayda c'mon"
"No, you are being a nuisance right now. And annoying so leave" She snaps but her eyes water when
she says that.
"Don't cry, I'm sorry" I say trying to hug her.
"No you are not Maddox, leave me the fuck alone. You already said enough earlier today." She says
standing up and start wobbling to the door.
"Are you seriously going to be like that?" I ask walking after her.
She turns around, her eyes full of rage "I'm going to be like that? Are you fücking kidding me? You
basically told me the only reason you care about me is our pups well fuck you Maddox. If you think I will
be okay with you saying things like that then you are sadly mistaken. And don't fucking test me
because at this very moment I feel like clawing your goddamed eyes out" she says all in one breath,
I stare at her for about 15 seconds and I swear I've never seen her any hotter.
But instead of making a comment about how hot she looks I take a step back and hold my hands up in
surrender "Okay, I understand I may not have worded my feelings the best way. You know I love you I
really do but I am really stressed"
Her eyes soften just the tiniest bemit before they turn into slits "There's no fucking excuse, just leave
me alone"
I sigh "Jayda, can you at least come with me? We have a meeting to attend then you can go back to
ignore me in the panic room"
"Panic room?" She asks.
I nod "Yes, Panic room"
"Isn't that for the pups, the ones who haven't shifted?" She asks.
"Yup" I answer.
"Then I won't go in there" she says calmly.
"Why not?" I ask tensely.
"Because I am not a pup, I have shifted. I am not going to the panic room" she replies.
"Lets just go" I say taking a deep breath.
Without answering she walks ahead of me.
I guess I deserve the cold shoulder.
When we exit Nikki's house the first thing I see are the huge group of people standing up, their eyes
following Jayda and I.
When we are finally infront of them I waste no time to start talking.
"Okay, I don't have time for formalities, you guys obviously know who my lady and I are. So onto more
important things. There's someone who is coming into our pack and killing us off. The bastard keeps
hiding his scent so we can't really track him down. He injects his victims with something we are still not
sure what it is but it kills the victims. Painfully may I add. So I am declaring this pack in code red. You
guys will not open any doors, you guys wont go outside. We will have Luke and Kyle and the rest of the
pack warriors to make sure your house is clear of any murderer before you guys lock yourselves in" I
say my voice hard and authoritative.
I hear Jayda clears her throat and all eyes go to her "This killer may think he is all tough with his
injections and stupid tricks, but remember we are all strong werewolves, we can fight the attacker.
Have at least one person in your house shifted and ready to attack at all times. Don't sit there and let
yourself be killed, you guys have been training your whole life. Don't let a psychopath with a weird
syringe fetish make you live in fear when you can easily rip his head off." Jayda finishes and I swear I
have never felt any prouder, I couldn't have gotten a better mate.
"Okay, you guys are dismissed" I say and Jayda smiles at everyone "Take care guys, I'll see you after
everything is over"
And with that she turns around and walks away.
Following behind I ask "Where are you going?"
"Ellie's house, I haven't seen her all day" She says dismissively.
"Listen, about Marco-" I start but she cuts me off.
"If he is guilty, kill him" she says coldly.
I stop for a second but when I see she keeps going I start walking again "Wait what?"
"He has acted shady since he got here. I really do hope he isn't guilty but if he is then I want him dead"
I nod, surprised "Uh, yeah I could do that"
"Okay"
"Well, I'm going to go help everyone to clear the houses"
"Okay" she repeats.
"I love you" I say.
"Bye" okay she is still mad.
I guess I'll have to try to get myself out of the dog house when all of this is over.
