Jayda's POV
I woke up happy, I had practically been accepted by the pack, even though Maddox kind of threatened them into liking me but still, I'll take what I can get. My happiness was short lived because when I looked to my right Maddox wasn't there. I looked to the bed side table and see a note there.
Jayda:
Sorry for not being there when you woke up, I went to work. I was going to wake you up but you looked really tired and I couldn't find it in me to wake you up. If you need me I'll be in the Cellars.
-Maddox
I frown, I know he needs to work but I want to spend time with him. I want him all for myself. Sighing I pull the covers off of myself and start walking towards the bathroom. After my shower I brush my teeth and dry my wavy hair.
I start getting dressed (A/N outfit on the side)
I skip breakfast and walk out the house. Everyone in the village smiles warmly at me.
"Hi Luna"
"Hey Luna"
"Good morning Luna"
"How are you Luna"
Those are many of the greeting I've been getting while I walk through the village.
I smile back at them but keep walking.
"Excuse me" a voice says behind me. I turn around to see a guy with light blue eyes and brown hair.
"Yes, how can I help you?" I answer with a smile.
"Well, I came here to see my brother and they told me to go ask the Luna where he was at" he explains with a smile.
"What's your brother's name? I haven't been here long so I don't know many people" I tell him truthfully.
He smirks "I am pretty sure you know him"
I stare at him weirdly "ummm, what's his name then?" i ask him.
"Maddox" he says smiling at me.
I stare at him. "You are Maddox's brother?" I ask excitedly.
I was happy to know that he had more family beside his sister.
"Yes I am, I am also Nicole's twin. You must be Jayda" he says holding out his hand for me to shake.
I nod while shaking his hand.
"My name is Kyle" he says with a charming smile.
"Well Kyle, Lets go find Maddox" I say with a smile and start walking towards the cellars.
"Yeah lets" he says and starts walking beside me.
As We start getting closer to the cellar I get nervous, I am not ready to go there yet, I am scared of what I might see inside.
We stop in front of the door but this there are people guarding it.
"Luna" the two bulky men say in unison while bowing their heads.
I smile nervously at them. "Hey guys, mind if Kyle and I go inside?" i ask them.
"Kyle? Man I didn't recognize you. You've changed" one of the guards says, doing one of those weird man-hugs. The other guard elbows him making him yelp then look at me with wide eyes.
"I am sorry for the disrespect Luna, please forgive me" he says pleadingly making me laugh.
"Its okay, you can talk socialize while I am here don't worry" I say with a shrug. My tongue was itching me to tell them not to call me Luna since it still made me uncomfortable to be called Luna but I knew Maddox wouldn't like it so I just kept quiet.
He smiles gratefully at me.
After an awkward silence between the four of us Kyle speaks. "Can we go in now guys?"
The guys quickly nod, opening the door that wasn't locked this time.
As soon as the door opened Kyle tensed, he sniffed the air and his eyes turn black and he sprints through the little hall. I sniffed the air but all I smelled was the disgusting smell of blood and death. I ran after Kyle, while looking around my combat boots touching the damp floor. They were jail like cells with thick bars and bloody people inside. Most of them had malice in their eyes. A feral look that showed that if they let him out of those cell's they would tear us apart and enjoy it.
I run after Kyle for a while until he stops in front of a door and growls, a growl that has me backing up a little from fright. He backs up a little then runs towards the door taking it out of its hinges.
When I look inside the room it was awful, the floor was all bloody and the walls were dirty. I kept looking around until my eyes landed on Kyle who suddenly tackles Maddox to the ground making me gasp.
"How dare you lay a finger on My mate" Kyle yells while punching Maddox. I whimper and was about to get in between to stop them when Maddox growls like I have never heard him growl before, it sent shivers throughout my entire body.
Maddox flips both of them over so he is on top and starts pounding his fist on Kyle's face so fast that is inhumane.
I see blood coming out of Kyle's face and start getting nervous.
Sudddenly, what Kyle said comes up to mind.
He talked about a mate, I looked around the room and what I see has my blood running cold.
Ellie was chained to the wall with silver chains that were definitely hurting her, she was wearing a black sports bra and shorts and had a huge gash on her abdomen with blood pouring out of it and the rest of her stomach was an ugly purple color. Her face was swollen with bruises and her lip was cut. Her hair was all knotted and it looked like she was bleeding from somewhere in the hair part too.
I run towards her and with shaking fingers I try to break the chains with my hands. That plan only backfires because as soon as I touch the silver chains it burns my flesh making me pull away quickly.
I start looking around until I see a little key chain on a table.
While I am trying to free Ellie, Kyle and Maddox are still fighting.
I grab the keys and run back towards Ellie. I try key after key but none of them work. Until I get to a little black key. I try it and the chains open falling to the floor.
"Maddox stop you are going to kill him" I scream but he keeps punching Kyle.
I take a deep breath, tears running down my face "Maddox, if you don't stop right now I swear I will leave you and never come back" I yell at the top of my lungs.
As soon as those words left my lips Maddox stopped. His fist stops in mid air. He looked back at me with hurt eyes. His eyes land on Ellie and he snarls.
"What are you doing with that rogue Jayda?" Maddox growls
"This is Ellie, my friend. The one who has been there for me ever since I shifted, don't call her a rogue" I plead.
He stares at me, looking disappointed then storms out of the room.
Kyle sees Ellie and I and runs towards us, growling at me and pushing me away. Ellie, who I didn't know was awake growls at him and starts walking towards me only to stumble to the floor.
Kyle quickly picks her up but he looks disoriented himself, his face is all bloody and I am pretty sure his nose is broken.
"How do you know my mate?" Kyle asks, his voice gruff and serious, unlike the easy going friendly tone he used with me earlier.
"She is my best friend" I say examining my hands that were burnt from touching the silver so many times, it would take at least a week for them to heal completely since the injuries were done by silver which is a werewolves only weakness.
He nods and looks at her worriedly.
"We should get her to Nikki's house" I tell Kyle knowing full well that Maddox wouldn't appreciate me bringing Ellie home.
He nods stiffly and picks up Ellie bridal style. We walk down the dirty hall, all of the rogues in there saying nasty things to us.
I was dreading coming out of the cellars because that meant having to answer the guards questions.
To my surprise, when we got out the guards weren't there. I sigh in relief and start my way towards Nikki's house. The atmosphere was tense, Kyle's looked like if he was about to pounce at anyone who made the wrong movement.
We get to Nikki's house ans I knock the door. Nicole sees me and smiles but her smile falls quickly when she sees the scene behind me. Kyle's bloody face, his nose still bleeding and Ellie with her face swollen and the big gash on her bruised abdomen.
"Come on in" Nicole says quickly ushering us in.
"What happened?" She whispers in my ear when Kyle was looking away.
I shake my lightly at her and mouth "later"
"Bring me some things so I can clean her wounds up" I tell Nikki making Kyles eyes snap to me.
"No! Absolutely not you are not getting close to her" Kyle growls.
I can feel my eyes changing black, now that I became a Luna my wolf doesn't like the disrespect.
"Listen here Kyle and listen well, This is MY pack and Ellie is MY best friend. I will take care of Her and I don't care if you like it or not. I can have you escorted out of this territory if I please and believe me I will do it if you keep defying me" I growl out, authority dripping for my voice.
Both Nicole and Kyle bow their heads at me.
"I am sorry for the disrespect Luna, my wolf was just on edge" Kyle says, his head still down.
"Its okay Kyle, just let me do what I have to do" I say stiffly, still surprised that I let my wolf take over. That hadn't happened in a while.
Nicole runs off to get the things I told her I needed to clean Ellie up.
When she returns I take some alcohol wipes and and clean the blood off her lip and abdomen and put some antibiotic creams on her wounds and also on her wrist that were burnt because of the silver chains.
After I am done, I tell Nikki to come with me to the kitchen so I can talk to her.
"Nikki what happened to me?" i ask her with wide eyes.
"Uhh, nothing" she shrugs.
"I let my wolf take over when I snapped at Kyle" I say rolling my eyes.
"Ohhh that, its normal. You became Luna, your wolf and your human form are stronger. You are not used to being this strong so you weren't able to control your wolf" she explains.
"How can I learn to control it?" i ask her.
"Well, only another wolf who is as powerful as you can help you control it so Maddox is the only one that can help you" she says and I nod slightly.
I didn't want to think about Maddox, about the hurt and disappointment he showed in his eyes. He might want to reject me now, I really wouldn't blame him.
My eyes water and my lip trembles.
"What happened?" She asks worriedly.
"Maddox had Ellie in the Cellar, he was torturing her because she is a rogue but Kyle was here and he wanted to see Maddox so i brought him to the cellars and it turns out Ellie was Kyle's mate, Kyle and Maddox started fighting and I told Maddox that if he punched Kyle one more time I would leave him" I say, tears running down my face.
"Oh my, so she has been here this whole time?" Nicole asks and I nod, tears still running down my face.
"Is that why your crying?" She asks me.
I shake my head. "No, I think Maddox will leave me for treating him like I did, I am such a bïtch" I say in between sobs.
"Maddox will never leave you Jayda. You guys are meant to be and he is never going to let you go because he knows that there is no one as perfect as you are for him" she says with a smile.
"Jay?" I hear a croaky voice yell out. I run towards the living room.
"Yes Ellie?" i say quickly.
"What is all this talk that you found your mate?" She says with a smile, her face less swollen than before.
I smile lightly "I tried calling you as soon as I found him, but you never answered" I explain.
"I left my phone at home when I went to get you, I followed your scent to this territory and I seriously thought that they had taken you for being a rogue. But the pack fighters caught me as soon as I crossed the pack borders. This pack is strong let me tell you that" she comments.
"You knew about packs?" i gasp.
She nods "I had a bad experience with my pack because my Alpha was abusive and only cared about power. My mom and I ran away. I didn't want you to go through that so when I found out you were new to the werewolf world I decided not to tell you about packs. I'm sorry" she says guiltily.
"Its okay, if it weren't for you I wouldn't have found my mate" I tell her with a small smile.
"So, who is the lucky guy?" Ellie asks me and I tense, its not easy telling your best friend that your mate is the guy that tortured her.
"I am mates with Alpha Maddox" I tell her nervously.
"Alpha Maddox as in the guy that was clawing at my stomach less than 5 hours ago?" Ellie asks and Kyle growls making Ellie smile.
"Yes, but he is not the guy you think, he is an amazing mate and so sweet. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me" I tell Ellie.
She nods "I know, he only tortured me so bad because I didn't answer any of his questions and constantly made fun of his guards, he even said and I quote 'I do not like hurting woman, but since you are being a bitch and not telling me why you entered my territory I will have to torture it out of you' i just laughed so he started clawing at me. He is a great Alpha if you ask me" Ellie says shrugging.
I just stare at her. "Are you being sarcastic?"
"No, I really think he is a good Alpha. Jay thats how the werewolf world is. If Alpha's let rogues get away with things that sends a message and other packs and rogues will attack the pack" She says genuinely.
"Ohh okay ummm do you guys want something to eat? I didn't have breakfast today" I say uncomfortably trying to change the subject.
They all shake their heads and I nod and walk towards the kitchen.
I open the fridge and see there are microwavable beef and cheese burritos.
"Nikki! Can i have a burrito?" I yell out.
"You can have whatever you want Jayda, mi casa es su casa" Nicole says, the last part with a terrible spanish accent.
I laugh "You need to practice your accent Nikki, you still sound american when you try to speak spanish"
"Shut up, my spanish is perfect" she says and I can imagine her sticking her tongue out at me.
I roll my eyes "sureeee"
"Just eat the damn burrito and leave me alone" she snaps playfully and goes back to talking to Ellie and Kyle.
I put my burrito in the microwave (A/N i had accidentally written 'I put my microwave in the burrito') and waited 3 minutes and 30 seconds for it to be cooked.
When it beeped I took it out and took a bite-- effectively burning my tongue.
Fun.
Not really.
When it cooled off a bit I quickly eat my burrito and go to the living room to see Ellie and Kyle cuddling on one couch and Nikki and Luke cuddling on the other. I felt longing inside my chest. I know The last time I saw Maddox he was really mad at me and I was a bitch but I miss him so much.
I decide on going home and apologizing to him. I just hope he forgives me.
"Umm guys, I am going to head home now" I say making Ellie quickly pull away from Kyle and stand up.
"Are you okay?" She asks me.
"Yeah, I am going to go talk to Maddox and see if he forgives me, I really miss him" I tell her sadly.
"I get it, everything will be alright. See you tomorrow Jay" Ellie says giving me a hug, kissing my cheek and pushing me out the door.
I start walking towards Maddox and I's house trying to think of a good apology.
I am so sorry...
Maddox, I am so sorry but you have to understand Ellie is my best friend...
I didn't mean to say those things to you, I was just freaking out...
Before I know it I am in front of the door.
I open it and gasp. The living room was a mess, the Tv had a huge crack, the couches thrown Around and there was broken glass everywhere.
Maddox was definitely here.
I go up the stairs and slowly open out bedroom's door. In side our room nothing was broken or out of place. Maddox was sitting on the edge of the bad with his head in his hands.
When he heard the door close his eyes snap to mine. What i saw broke my heart. His eyes were bloodshot and its was obvious he had been crying. My heart ached for my mate and I felt angry at myself because I caused his pain.
Before I could even blink, Maddox walks towards me and wraps his arms around me in a tight embrace.
"I am so sorry" he murmurs kissing my neck.
"Its okay" I say breathlessly.
"No its not, I didn't know she was your friends if I would've known I wouldn't have hurt her. at first I was angry, i went for a run and when I calmed down I realized the mistake I've made. Then you still hadn't come home and I thought you left me" he says, his voice breaking making my heart clench.
I hug him tighter "I don't think I could leave you even if I wanted too" I say honestly.
"Why's that?" he asks.
"Because I already love you" I says shyly.
His eyes widen. "You what?" He asks, a grin over taking his face.
"I-i love you Maddox" I say looking into his eyes.
He kisses me deeply. "I love you too, Jayda"
