Mates with Alpha Maddox

Jayda's POV.

I jolt awake with my heart racing and check and take a quick look at the clock.

I scramble out of the bed when I realize it's already 10am which is an hour later than I should have slept.

I run down the stairs and to Maddox's office stopping right in front of the door, trying to fix my bed hair and wiping my eyes.

Why did I have to over sleep today? Why not tomorrow?

Opening the door all eyes snap to me. I awkwardly walk across Maddox's office and stand next to where my mate is sitting.

Maddox stands up "You're awake, sit on my seat"

I shake my head "No it's alright"

Maddox sighs but doesn't sit back down instead he pushes the chair to my side so I can sit whenever I feel like it then turns to the unknown man.

"This is my mate, Jayda. You will call her Luna, any other name and you will be kicked out, I didn't want you here in the first place so make the tiniest mistake and you will be out" Maddox says

I clear my throat and the mans eyes snap to mine. "Nice to meet you" I give him a warm smile, holding my hand out for him to shake.

He shakes my hand "Likewise, my name is Marco"

"As I was saying" Maddox voice booms making Marco jump slightly. "You will be given a home, protection, a job and any other necessity and in return we will be expecting your upmost loyalty. Anything that happens you report it to me or the Luna. If you betray this pack I will very much enjoy torturing the shit out of you. I am very angry about you joining so just stay out of my way. You may leave, the Beta is waiting outside." Maddox dismisses.

When Marco leaves I speak up. "Well that was rude"

Maddox shrugs pulling me to him and hugging me "Rude is fun"

I roll my eyes "No it isn't, you should try being nice to people who aren't me for a change"

"I am nice to Nicole" he defends.

"She is your sister, and sometimes you aren't even nice to her" I point out.

"Well I am nice to lan" he says then shakes his head "No I'm not"

I burst out laughing.

"I don't really care if I am nice or not, all that matters is that they do as I say"

I snort "You are such a controlling ass"

he smiles "Call it what you want, it always ends up working in my favor."

"You need to start being nice to strangers"

"If I am nice to people that shows weakness, by being an ass to people no one can get close enough to hurt me."

I stare at him "That is the saddest thing I've ever heard"

Maddox rolls his eyes "It doesn't matter, I have you and our pup. I don't need anyone else"

I smile at him, feeling my heart swell.

"Now I have to get back to work" Maddox says and just like that the spell is broken.

"fine" I mumble.

"I love you" He grins.

"Yeah, yeah. Goodbye" I say and leave his office and exit the house.

I scan my surroundings and see the different pack members go on with their day. I then spot Marco and decide to apologize for Maddox's behavior.

I quickly walk over to the bench he was sitting at, staring blankly in front of him. His blonde hair moving in all directions because of the wind and his brown eyes as I stated before were blank. "Can I sit there?" I ask, motioning to the empty space beside him.

Marco gives me a startled look then nods "Uh sure?"

I sit down and we both sit down without saying a word, he being as stiff as a board.

Talk about awkward.

I clear my throat "So I just wanted to apologize for my mate's attitude towards you."

He waves me off "It's alright, no need to apologize"

"It wasn't the best way to be greeted but just wait until he gets used to you. He will be nicer after that" I lie, theres no way Maddox will get nicer. But it's better for him to think that it won't last forever. Marco shrugs "Really it's okay, I really appreciate you taking your time to apologize for him though"

"No problem, I never really do anything." I say with a laugh and surprisingly he laughs with me.

He turns to me as if telling me could could have a conversation instead of me just starring at the side of his head while he stared ahead.

"So, why did you want to move to this pack? From what I've heard you were in a pretty good pack" I question trying to make conversation.

He instantly tenses and some

unknown emotion can be seen in his

eyes before he looks away "I well Just heard great things from this pack. Its one of the best and almost impossible to join. I have been trying for ages to join but my application always got denied" His voice was someone evasive, giving me some red flags but I decide on ignoring them and just keep talking to him.

"Yeah, as Maddox probably already told you he doesn't like new people in his pack. He already trusts the people here and feels we have just the right amount of members. Your application was accidentally accepted" I say the last thing with a laugh.

"Seriously? He must have not been happy"

"He was furious but you have to understand him" I say and he nods.

"Yeah I guess I would be too" Marco admits.

"Yeah, anyways I better get going. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll introduce you to my two best friends then" and with that I make my way home. To waste yet another day sleeping.

**3 MONTHS LATER**

These past few months have been great, Maddox and I's relationship has been getting better and better. After I started hanging out with Marco Maddox was furious but I made him realize we were just friends:

The more I hung out with Marco the happier I am he joined. He is like an older brother to to me. There are sometimes where he acts weird as if he was hiding something, there have been many times where I've seen him talking mysteriously on the phone and just some other stuff but then I remember he isn't hiding

anything because he has been nothing but nice to everyone since he got here.

Nikki and Eli both like him, he is really shy so we have a lot of fun teasing him.

Also My stomach has grown so much, I look as if I had eaten a small elephant, Maddox and I went to Dr.Jenny but decided against looking at the sex. All we know is that we are having more than one which is why my stomach is so huge.

I was now laying down on the floor while Maddox tried to set up the crib.

"What's next?" My mate asks referring to the instructions I had in my hand.

I lazily raise my head to read the instructions "Umm connect part C to part 2B"

Maddox starts drilling the parts together but immediately stops when an agonizing scream is heard from somewhere in the village.

He is on his feet in seconds, his face set in a scary expression. "Jayda, you stay here. Do not come out of this room. Do you understand me?" He demands and I nod.

And then he is gone.

With great difficulty I finally stand up and think on my next move.

If Maddox thinks I am going to stay here while he is out there dealing with I don't know what then he is mistaken.

So I quickly change into my maternity jeans and shirt and put on some sneakers and carefully go down the stairs and wobble out side of the house.

I see a group of pack members gathered in on someone's porch trying to peak inside. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I start making my way there only to be stopped by one of the pack warriors named Garret "Luna, you don't want to see that" he says gently grabbing my arm and pulling me on the opposite direction. "What happened? Tell me everything" I order and he bows his head.

"6 pack members were found dead, the dad has his throat slit and the rest were injected with some kind of venom in their neck. The same way the late Alpha and Luna were killed" Garret says. "But that's impossible, the person that killed them is dead" I say, trying to make sense of the situation.

"Well either there's someone else that has a thing for needles or the man that Killed Alpha Maddox's parents somehow survived"
