Mates with Alpha Maddox

Chapter 29: 29

I laugh but its humorless "Because I have a brother"

"You have a brother?" Ellie exclaims at the same time Nikki says "That doesn't mean anything. Were you expecting him not to have a kid?"

I roll my eyes "Jayson, my brother is 9 years old. My father left 8 years ago meaning he knocked his mate up at least a year before he up and left"

"Damn, why didn't you tell me before?" Ellie asks with wide eyes.

"I kind of just found out and I have also kind of been fighting with Maddox, my life has been a mess lately" I say looking out the window.

"I thought you knew you had a brother, thats why I didn't tell you" Nikki says honestly looking at me from the corner of her eye then goes back to driving.

I nod "I know"

"Have you talked to your dad about it already?" asks Ellie, her expression thoughtful.

I shake my head. "I haven't talked to him in a while and he hasn't tried to talk to me so its whatever"

"You will need to face it sooner or later. This is a conversation you, Beta and Karen need to have" Nikki says.

Sighing I say "I know that I just...I don't know"

"What about your mate? Why have you been fighting with him?" Ellie asks.

"Well firstly is that we have different...opinions about rouges and what to do with them" I start and Nikki scowls.

"What else should people do with them? They are killers that will take everything you love any chance they get" she says.

"Nikki not all of the rouges are the same!" I exclaim

"Yes they are, they deserve whatever they get" She says, her eyes hard while she looks at the rode.

I cross my arms "Ellie was a rouge, I was a rouge too"

She rolls her eyes "thats different"

"How is it different?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

She rolls her tongue over her top teeth in annoyance "You didn't know about packs and Ellie had her reasons to being one! The guy you encountered the first time you saw Maddox? The one that wanted to mark you against your own will? That is how most of the rouges are! They are ruthless killers that will not bat an eye before hurting you and the people you love"

I blink. Once. Twice.

"Well then, that escalated quickly" Ellie says with a snicker then adds "Now I know not to bring the rouge topic with any of the Franco siblings"

I give Ellie a blank look.

"Too soon?" She asks.

I nod "Too soon."

The rest of the ride towards the mall is spent in awkward silence.

When we finally reach the malls parking lot and get out of the truck.

Nikki speaks up "I am sorry I snapped its just that is a sensitive topic to me"

"Its okay, lets just Forget it" I say with a shrug.

"Okay bitches, We need to hug it out. Come give momma some sugar" Ellie says opening her arms widely towards us and wiggling her eyebrows.

Nikki and I burst out laughing but still go and hug her.

I don't know how long we stood there in the group hug but I hear a snort from behind me.

Ellie pulls away and speedwalks towards a girl with Black hair and hazel eyes. "Listen here you dumbass, you just ruined a moment between me and my friends so if you don't fucking leave I will shove my foot so far up your ass you will shoke on it"

"Uh...whatever" the girl says rolling her eyes and speed walks out of the parking lot.

"I swear that If I see that bitch again I am going to kill her" Ellie says glaring at the ground.

"What did she do?" I ask with a laugh.

"She pissed me off!" Ellie says with a shrug.

"She didn't really do anything" I point out.

"Doesn't matter I'll still kill her"

I roll my eyes "Lets just go inside"

"Sure" Ellie shrugs, we turn to look at Nikki and see that she is face timing Luke, her mate.

"Nikki! This is a girls day" I say crossing my arms over my chest at the same time Ellie runs towards Nikki and says loudly "Hey Luke!!! Is Kyle with you?"

I laugh. Of course.

Since Nikki has the headphones on I can't hear what he says.

"Luke said Kyle is not there" Nikki says and Ellie pouts.

I stomp my foot. "Guyssss, we are standing in the middle of the parking lot like idiots! Lets get our asses inside"

Nikki sighs then says "Hey babe, gotta go. Call you again tonight" she looks at us then whispers "I love you"

"Awwwwwwn" Ellie and I say in Unison making Nikki blush while rolling her eyes

"Lets go!" She grumbles and stomps inside the mall with Ellie and I laughing behind.

Ellie and I speed walk towards Nikki and links our arms with her.

"Where should we go first?" Nikki asks

"I wan't to buy an outfit to go to a diner tonight. I am playing matchmaker" I say wiggling my eyebrows.

"With who?" Nikki and Ellie ask in Unison.

Making the Zipping my lips motion I say "Can't say"

"What? Why?" Nikki asks.

"Because Its not my place to tell" I day with a shrug.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Ugh" Nikki mumbles

"Oooh I like this store. Their combat boots are to die for" I grin, pulling them towards the store.

A few hours later Nikki, Ellie and I have our hands full with bags so we decide to head back.

At 8pm I decide to get ready, I told Ian we would go to the diner his mate worked at tonight.

Maddox walks into the room while I am putting my make up on.

"Uh, where are you going?" He asks furrowing his eyebrows.

"I'm going to some diner with Ian to help him get his mate back" I say, still doing my make up.

I learned the hard way not to hide things from Maddox.

"You are going to a Diner with Ian?" He growls, his eyes glaring at me.

I roll my eyes "To help him get his mate back"

"You aren't going alone. I don't care what you say either I go with you or you stay" he says, crossing his arms.

Putting my lipstick back in the back I slowly turn around and raise an eyebrow at him.

"Don't give me that face, I am serious" he snaps.

Taking a deep breath I state calmly "Maddox, Before you barged in and started acting like a caveman I had already planned for you to come with"

"Oh" he says, his stance relaxing "Well , I'm going to get ready then" he says and with that starts getting ready.

Chuckling to myself I sigh.

He is so...special
