Mates with Alpha Maddox

Chapter 25

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 Ian" 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.
