Mates with Alpha Maddox

Chapter 17: 17



Another thing I know about my sister is that whenever she is hiding something and she gets caught she tries to act cocky to distract you from what she is hiding. "Stop it with the games Nicole, I am not in the mood" I say clenching my jaw.

She fake gasps "Games? What games brother dearest? There aren't any games here"

"For fucks sake Nicole, tell me what the fuck you guys are hiding" I snap making her flinch.

"We aren't hiding anything Maddox" Nicole says not meeting my gaze.

Do they seriously think I am that stupid?

"Nicole. Tell. Me. Now" I force out, the alpha command clear in my voice so she has no choice but to obey.

I love being Alpha.

I mentally smirk in triumph, of course my mental happiness vanishes when Nikki tells me the reason why they are acting weird.

"We are going to meet Carson for dinner" she squeaks out.

"Who the hell is Carson?" I ask, my jaw clenching and unclenching.

"I can't tell you" Nikki mumbles

"Nicole, don't make me ask again"

"Carson is Jayda's ex" she says while closing her eyes tightly.

I swear I saw red.

"You are telling me my fucking mate is meeting with her ex boyfriend?" i growl out.

"Ellie and I are also going, its not just them we are all going as friends" she says quickly.

I scoff. "If you guys are going as friends then why did Jayda lie about it? If she was so sure I had nothing to fucking worry about then why the hell didn't she tell me? She was going to go meet another guy behind my back" I yell, my temper rising and my wolf wants to take over.

"She thought you wouldn't leg her go" Nikki says quietly.

"Of course I wouldn't and the fact that knowing that I would not approve she still wanted to makes me fucking angry" I seethe.

"Calm down Maddox, please don't shift inside my home. I just cleaned" Nicole pleads.

I was about to snap at her for telling me what to do but then I get an idea.

"Little sis, I need a favor and by favor I mean you have no choice but to obey me, you won't tell Jayda that I know and..........." Jayda's POV sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

4 hours.

Its been 4 hours since Maddox left and he still isn't back, I am freaking out.

He was acting so distant, was it something he read on the documents he was reading?

It can't be because of me, he doesn't know anything.

The guilt was killing me and I was ready to pull my hair out.

Two hours later Maddox walks lazily through the door.

"Maddox! Where have you been? I have been so worried" I exclaim, wrapping my arms around his torso.

He hugs me back and shrugs "oh you know, out and about" he pulls away all too soon and heads to out bedroom.

I stay frozen for a while then snap out of it and go after him.

When I walk in to the bedroom, Maddox is taking off his shoes.

He sits on the bed, resting on the headboard and hands behind his head. "So I was thinking, that we could go on the date I promised you tonight" Maddox trails off with a look I can't decipher. Oh my god! I can't tonight!

My guilty conscious is eating me alive, but i can't do this to Carson. He needs closure.

"I can't Maddox, maybe tomorrow?" I ask hopefully.

"Why not tonight?" He raises an eyebrow.

"Well, ummm I am going out with Nikki and Ellie" I breath out. Its not a lie, just not the complete truth.

He humm's as an answer and turns on the tv, completely ignoring me.

"Well, its almost time to leave so I am going to get ready" I mutter.

"Go ahead, I am not stopping you" he says without even looking at me.

Since I already took a shower this morning and All I have done all day is watch tv and mope around in the house then I don't take another one.

I walk into the walk in closet to change into an acceptable outfit.

(A/N, outfit On the side is the one she will wear to go out, also As I have stated before. That is the one who plays Jayda)

After I am dressed I get my phone from my bedside table and see I have another message from Carson telling me to meet him at some Italian restaurant. I forward it to Ellie and Nikki since I am too lazy to write another text and turn to Maddox.

"I am leaving" I state, waiting for him to give me a kiss.

"Bye?" He asks confused.

"No kiss for me?" I joke puckering my lips.

"Of course, how could I forget" he says and pulls me closer giving me a kiss on the cheek.

I stare at him for a few seconds but he is watching tv already.

Well then. I head outside and meet Nikki and Ellie. Nikki doesn't meet my eyes but I take it as if its because she is against me meeting Carson.

"Lets go" Nikki mumbles and we walk to her truck.

We get to the intalian place and Carson immediately hugs me.

"How are you Jayda...and girls" he says as if he remembered we weren't alone. I pull away and stand beside Nikki and far away from Carson. "We are all good" I mumble, feeling too guilty to make conversation.

"Well lets go in" Ellie pipes in.

We all head in and I quickly sit in between Ellie and Nikki. Carson frowns at that but doesn't say anything.

10 minutes later we are all looking through the menus in awkward silence.

"Sorry I am late, traffic is awful this time a day" a voice says with humor making my heart stop.

Fuck.

Maddox is here.☐☐
