SWNOVELS Chapter 24: 24
Jayda's POV
Today we would be going to visit another pack, we were suppose to go there earlier but since Maddox and I were having problems he decided to go today.
I decided to really think about the situation with Jayson and my father before doing anything. I will probably talk to him soon but first I need to get my mind straight because right now I am having mixed emotions.
Jayson is an amazing kid and I am so happy he is my brother but the way he was born, how he cheated on my mom. And not just that, how his mate must've felt on having her soulmate going to another family every night while she had to sleep alone. I kind of feel for Karen, I don't know what I would do if Maddox ever did that to me.
So I just decided to have fun and enjoy the trip with Eli and Nikki while Maddox works his ass off.
So here I was packing a little bag since we were spending the next 2 says at the other pack. I i packed some shorts and jeans and some shirts. I wasn't going to bring something fancy for no reason. I could jus wear shorts to the BBQ.
Suddenly My door swings open making me jump.
Ellie and Nikki walk in as if they own the place and lay down and Maddox and I's bed.
"Guys, you didn't even say hi to me" I say with a frown.
They both roll their eyes at me.
"Are you ready? Maddox is waiting in his office" Nikki says.
"Almost" I say going to the bathroom and getting my toothbrush.
"Well hurry up, my brother is not really patient and Alpha Byron's territory is like 5 hours away on car" Nikki says snuggling to my pillow.
It was 7am, we had woken up at 6 because Maddox wanted us to be there early.
I look towards Eli to see her already sleeping.
I sling my bag on my shoulder walk towards the door.
"C'mon, I am ready" I say with a yawn, grabbing a little blanket and walk out the door.
I hear Nikki shout at Eli to wake up and Then a loud thump, signaling that someone had fallen off the bed.
I ignore them and walk to Maddox office, I am too tired to pay attention to their antics.
I open the door without knocking making Maddox's eyes snap to the door with a glare. When he sees its me he rolls his eyes and laughs quietly.
"Are you sleepy?" He asks with a gentle smile and motions me to step closer.
I nod and walk towards him, as soon as I am at arms reach he grabs me and sits me on his lap, I maneuver myself in a way so he is cradling me, in some kind of fetus position while on his lap. I bury my face in the crook of his neck and close my eyes. I relax in his arms and was about to fall asleep when I hear loud voices from outside the door, seconds later the door opens and I see Nikki and Eli.
"Haven't you heard of knocking?" Maddox snaps and Nikki rolls her eyes.
"I am your sister, I don't need to knock" she says simply. Then adds "Did we ruin a moment?"
Maddox sighs and I hear him mutter something along the lines of "I should just kill everyone so They'll leave me alone" before he gently grabs hold of my waist and stands me up.
I rest my head against the wall and snuggle the blanket making Eli burst out laughing.
"Dude you are still sleepy?" Eli asks.
"Yeah, I didn't sleep a wink last night" I mutter remembering how I stayed up all night thinking about Jayson and My father. I think I am obsessing over the situation but I can't help it. "Why couldn't you sleep?" Nikki asks.
I shrug "I was thinking about stuff"
"What stuff?" She presses.
I look at Maddox "Are we going to stay here talking or are we leaving?"
He looks at me worriedly but nods and grabs his keys from his giant desk.
Eli and Nikki look at each other then they both yell "Shotgun!" And sprint down the stairs to Maddox's truck.
He walks calmly behind me and when we get to his truck we hear Nikki and Eli arguing over who would ride in the passenger seat.
"Okay, I don't know what made you think I would let you sit beside me when Jayda is here, its fucking common sense" he says as if he were talking to 5 years old and gets in the truck. Nikki and Eli blush while getting in the back seats and I lazily open the passenger door and get in.
I put my seatbelt on and turn sideways so my head is resting against the window.
When I am about to go to sleep I hear Eli's voice. "Turn on the radio!" She says loudly.
"No" he simply says.
"C'mon, I am bored" She whines.
"And Jayda is tired so let her sleep" he says.
"She can sleep with the music on"
"No she can't, there are some headphones somewhere get your phone and use them because I am not turning the radio on" Maddox says.
"What about me? I want to listen to music too!" Nikki exclaims.
"Share the fucking headphones and leave me the hell alone, I do not want to talk to any of you" Maddox snaps.
"Not even Jayda?" Nikki asks with a raised eyebrow.
Maddox groans "I am fucking serious Nicole, shut the fuck up"
"Hello Fucking serious, my name is Nicole but you can call me Nikki" she says with a smirk.
Maddox takes a deep breath then says "I swear to God, if you say one more thing I will stop the car and leave you here"
Nikki fake gasps "You would do that to your own sister?!?! Leave me in the middle of nowhere? I could die!" She says in mock outrage.
He rolls his eyes "First of all I would totally leave you in the middle of nowhere to die, sadly if I leave you here you wont die since the pack is about 30 minutes away from here and you can just shift and get there in 10, the threat means that you will not be able to come with us to Alpha Byron's pack if you keep being a smartass"
Nikki sticks her tongue out at Maddox but says nothing.
I look out the window until finally sleep comes to me.
After what only feels like 5minutes I hear Eli yelling a "Finally we are here"
I unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car. I start stretching when everyone gets out.
Suddenly I hear a squeal and look at some brunette who as soon as she sees Maddox jumps into his arms, wrapping her legs around him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Maddox baby, I haven't seen you in so long" the brunette says.
Maddox looks dumbfounded and nervous, he unwraps her legs and arms from around him making her fall to the floor ungracefully.
She blushes and quickly stands up.
"Hello Anna" Maddox says looking at me in the eye with a nervous glint.
What the actual fuck? Who the fuck is she?
"Anna, meet my mate Jayda and her friend Eli" Maddox says pointing at me and Eli.
If looks could kill I would be 6feet under, because this Anna girl gave me the dirtiest look ever. Of course I did the same And looked at her with as much hate as I could muster. Guess I would have to spend the next two days showing this bitch who Maddox belongs to.
