SWNOVELS Chapter 48: 48
Jayda's POV
"I think you should go back inside Luna" Garret says for the hundredth time, and i shake my head. I am no immediate danger and what kind of Luna would I be if I locked myself inside the house while everyone else is going through hell.
Garret hasn't moved from my side, he has been following me around the whole village.
I've been searching for About 10 minutes but I still haven't found him.
My dad's house was empty, at least that's what I thought until I found a basement. Since when do houses here have basements?
I opened the door slowly only to be attacked by a mass of curly black hair.
Or almost attacked because Garret shifted in seconds and tackled the person to the floor before they even touched me.
How the hell did he shift that fast?
Then I see who it was and roll my eyes "Why the hell did you try to attack me?" I ask Karen, asshole of a dad's crazy wife.
Garret still hadn't shifted back, I guess he wasn't joking around. His canines were hovering over Karen's neck.
"I thought you were the killer" Karen says her voice shaky. She was terrified.
"Garret she told you it was an accident, please let go of her" I say awkwardly.
Garret reluctantly shifts back and pulls away, his eyes completely black and breathing heavily, adrenaline clearly running through his body.
"Be fucking careful next time, if you hurt our Luna or her pups you will pay, I will make sure of it" Garret threatens, looking extremely scary.
Karen scowls but takes a step back "She is my Luna too, also my step daughter. I would never hurt her"
"Very well" He says stepping back so I could keep looking for Jayson but his posture is still stiff.
"Where's Jayson?" I ask Karen.
"He is in the pups panic room. The Alpha sent all of the kids and teens who haven't shifted there. Nobody can go in there until everything is over" She answers and I nod. "Thank you" I say curtly then I add "Do you have any pants for Garret?"
He has been naked since he shifted and i just feel extremely awkward.
"Uh, yeah. Theres a box with basketball shorts and sweat pants next to the front door" Karen says.
"Okay, have a nice day?" I say stupidly. How can she have a nice day with everything that is going on. Eh, I don't give two flying shits what she thinks.
I walk out from the basement with Garret, not looking at him until he put on some pants.
When he had successfully out on some black sweatpants I turned to him.
"Why were you so hostile with Karen, i mean I know she almost attacked me but she didn't" i wonder.
"Everyone in the pack has a purpose, yours is to be the mother figure to the pack. And you wouldn't be able to do that if you didn't have a connection with the pack so every single member in this pack feels a connection to you. The pack warriors connection to you is much stronger. We want and will protect you at any cost. So to answer your question I was just following my instinct to protect you" Garret says with a smile.
My eyes water "Thank means so much to me" I start and his eyes widen.
"Are you going to cry?" He asks panicked.
I wipe my eyes "i'm sorry, hormones"
"It's alright?" He says sounding confused.
"Did Maddox tell you to follow me around?" ask, not mad just curious. I can be a dumbass for being out but
I am a smart dumbass who realizes a that being alone when someone is
attacking is a big no-no.
Shaking his head he answers "No, I don't think he has any idea you are outside"
"Hmm, well let him think that then" I say.
"I think its too late for that" Garret says his eyes focused on a very angry very finger licking looking Maddox storming our way.
"I'm dead" I say but I wasn't able to control my giggles, I have no idea why I found this hilarious.
I was about to apologize to Maddox when I see that instead of stopping in front of Garret and I he stormed passed us.
I look at where he is headed and my eyes widen.
Marco.
Before I can tell Maddox to stop he grabs Marco by the throat and slams him against the concrete wall next to them.
I gasp but Maddox calls Garret who immediately in seconds is next to him.
"Take him to the cellar, I'll be there soon." Is all Maddox says and Garret starts dragging Marco by the arm.
"Wait, what are you guys doing? Don't hurt him!" I say when Marco's eyes meet mine.
Maddox's eyes lock onto mine and I swear if looks could kill I would be dead.
Maddox reaches me and grabs my wrist in a tight almost painful grip as he drags me to the Nikki's front porch.
"What the hell is your deal?" I snap, rubbing my wrist.
He glares harder "My deal is that you told me you would stay inside and then I see you fucking outside"
"Maddox I am a grown woman I can do what I please" I growl.
"Not when you are carrying my pups, after you've had them then you can do what ever the hell you want but until then you are going to walk yourself into Nicole's house and stop being such a nuisance" Maddox says coldly.
I take a step back. Woah. That hurt.
"Did you seriously just say that?" I ask.
Instead of seeing his face soften like I always do when we have an argument he just stares at me blankly. And its not like if he is hiding his emotions, he just doesn't care.
"Just go inside Jayda, I have no time for stupid things right now" Maddox says with a sigh.
"You just said you don't care what I
do after I have the pups? I am a nuisance? Well fuck you Maddox. Go to hell for all I care." Saying all of those things hurt me alot, but I wanted him to feel something.
Maybe to say sorry.
But, of course when do things go as planned for me?
He just stares at me with that empty stare, then says "Yes I just said that now bye. I have shit to do and with that he turns around.
I try to open Nikki's door but its locked so I knock while yelling "Open the damn door Nicole"
A few seconds later Nikki lets me in.
She looks a wreck, not that I expected anything less. People in her pack are dying how she almost died and how her parents died.
"How are you?" I ask.
"I'm great, how's Maddox?"
"I don't want to talk about it?" I say, my eyes already watering. This isn't about me I need to control myself.
She nods "So he is doing it again" she states.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
