Mates with Alpha Maddox novel Chapter 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

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.
