#Chapter3

Jayda's POV

"Jayda, wake up sweetheart" I hear a voice say.

Groaning, I bury my face in the pillow.

"C'mon love wake up" the voice says softly.

"Leave me alone, I want to sleep" I mumble against the pillow.

"Jayda. We have things to do today"

I hesitantly open my eyes to see Maddox with an amused smile on his face.

"I'm sleepy" I say pouting, he kisses my pout and grins.

"I know but today is your first official day as a Luna, I need to show you around"

I sigh, "I have no choice in the matter do I?"

"Nope" he says kissing my forehead.

I smile and start standing up "Take a quick shower and I'll make you breakfast, your clothes are in the closet" Maddox says.

I nod and he leaves the room.

I walk into the bathroom and then remember I got marked yesterday so I quickly run towards the mirror to see it.

It was a beautiful mark, it had my blonde wolf and Maddox black wolf howling at the moon. Under the two wolves it said Alpha Maddox Franco.

Smiling I step into the shower, I take a 15 minute shower and go to the walk in closet to look for something to wear.

I start looking through all of the clothes and until I find the perfect shirt. I chuckle to myself while I read what the muscle shirt says I put a black bandeau under it .

It also showed off my mark so that’s a plus.

I pair it with some pale denim super skinny jeans and white converse. I put my hair in a high pony tail and leave my face make up free.

I walk run down the stairs two at a time, wanting to see Maddox reaction to my shirt.

When I get to the kitchen, Maddox is there making chocolate chip pancakes.

"Hey babe I chirp, making him turn around to look at me.

His eyes go from my face to clothing, when he sees my white muscle shirt he burst out laughing.

My shirt said in big bold black letters:

I SHOULD

BE SLEEPING

RIGHT

NOW

SO SHUT

YOUR FACE.

"Very funny Jayda" he says with a smirk.

"I know right?" I ask sitting on one of the stools.

He rolls his eyes then goes back to making the pancakes.

After about 5 minutes he stacks the pancakes in two plates, placing one in front of me then sitting on the stool beside mine with his own plate.

"Eat" he says motioning to the pancakes.

He looks so adorable, his face looks so nervous about me not liking the food he made.

I grab my fork and grab a forkful of pancake.

"Mm, this is really good Maddox" I say smiling while taking another forkful.

He smiles proudly then starts eating.

"So, what are we going to do first?" I ask him after we are both done with our food.

"Well, let’s go to my office so I can explain all the rogue problems we are having and then I think we should go training, then I want to show you the cellars, the pack medical center. Also tonight there will be a gathering celebrating our new Luna" He says with a smile.

"Wow" I breath out.

He nods "you can go shopping to get a dress with Nikki if you want or if you want to go with one of your uh-human friend's than its okay" he says, you can hear the distaste he has for humans.

It bothers me that he doesn't like humans since my mom was human but I don't let it show.

"Yeah, I'll go with Nikki. I will also call my other friend Ellie and see if she can come. She was been avoiding me for the past 3 days so I want to know what's wrong" I say frowning.

"She must be busy" Maddox says leading me towards his office.

When we are outside his office door, he takes out a key and opens it.

He sits on his big comfortable looking chair and sits me on his lap. He opens a drawer and takes out a bunch of papers.

Most of the papers had people's full names, ages, address and if they were mated or not. It also had a picture of the person.

"What's that?" I ask him.

"That is a list containing personal information about our pack" he explains.

When he says "our" pack, I almost died of happiness.

"How many people are in the pack?" I ask him.

"182 without counting the pups" he says simply.

I frown "why not count the pups?, I mean they are part of the pack"

"We don't count the pups because many of them will not survive the shift. When they shift into their wolf then they are added to this list"

I nod and he keeps talking "Now, we need to talk about the main problem. Rogues" he explains making my eyes wide when I remembered that Nikki said Maddox tortures rogues.

I clear my throat "Why are they a problem?"

"First of all The guy at the woods that tried to mark you was a rogue. They are disgusting beings that don't follow werewolf law that states you can't mark someone who isn't your mate unless she is okay with it. They kill for fun, rape humans who wonder into the woods and are always trespassing our territories." He says with distaste and anger.

"Not all of them can be that bad, since I was going to become a rogue without even knowing it before my dad brought me here. And I am not a killing machine" I say defiantly,

I am sure that they are many more people who like me didn't know about packs.

"It really doesn't matter, if a pack sees a rogue in their territory, werewolf law states that we can either kill it or interrogate it to get more rogues" he says shrugging.

"Why are you saying 'it'? They are people like us" I exclaim, mad at how he is treating them.

"Babe, that's just how it is in the werewolf world. Its either them or us and I sure as hell am not putting You or my pack in danger for a worthless rogue" he says fiercely making me sigh.

"Let’s skip this and go to the next thing of my daily Luna activities list" I say softly.

He frowns "Baby, you know that sooner or later you will have to talk about this right" he asks.

I nod "Yes, but not now. What's next?" I mumble.

"We can go training with the teens" he says and I smile.

"Yeah, let’s do that" he closes his office door then drags me towards some sort of huge clearing. It had about 60 teenagers from 13-15 years old.

They were all sitting on the floor while listening to a really buff guy who looked about 30 years old talk. He had dark skin, curly dark hair and bulging muscles. His face was set in an strict scowl but you could see the kindness in his warm brown eyes. I instantly liked him.

"Who's that?" I ask Maddox while pointing towards The guy talking to the teens.

"He is our third in command, his name is Derek. He is in charge of training the pack" my mate says.

"He is strong, like really strong" I point out. I think his muscles are the size of my head.

Maddox growls pulling me closer and burying his face in the crook of my neck, kissing my mark.

I feel my mark tingle making me gasp out a quiet moan. My face turning beet red. "Maddox, not here! There are people who can see us" I mutter trying to pull away.

"I don't care, let them look so they know that you are mine" he murmurs against my neck making me roll my eyes.

Someone clears their throat making me blush harder and Maddox growl in annoyance. He ever so slowly detaches himself from me and looks back to the crowd who is looking at us as if we are aliens.

I smile nervously at them and Maddox settles with a curt nod.

It’s amazing how even though he is the "ruthless" Alpha everyone says he is, they don't look at him with hostility. They look at him with admiration and pride.

"Hello everyone, My friend and I just want to see you guys train so proceed" His strong deep velvety voice says.

I instantly feel hurt that he introduced me as his friend instead of his mate. I guess he feels the hurt through our mate bond because He tenses and turns to me quickly.

"Baby, I'm sorry but I want them to find out we are mates on tonight's ceremony" he says reassuringly.

"Won't they see my mark?" I ask confused.

"Nope, they are still humans. And the only ones who can see the mark are wolves. Derek probably knows though" he adds as an afterthought.

All of the teens and Derek bow their heads at Maddox.

"Okay, so let’s just show the Alpha and his friend what we've learned so far" Derek orders making the teens immediately stand up and get into attacking positions.

"Pick a partner, and take turns in defense and offense. Don't stop fighting until you pin your opponent down. We will be making rounds and if I see you guys doing anything wrong you will do laps." He says in a firm voice making my eyes widen.

"How old are they?" I ask quietly.

"12-15, this is the human form training. When they turn 16 they will start to train in their wolf form with the rest of the adults" he says, looking at the kids that were using different fighting techniques to pin their opponent down.

"Remember! The goal is to pin your opponent down not harm them!" Derek yells strictly while walking around the fighting students.

"Owww" I hear a girls voice hiss. I look around trying to locate the sound to see a girl about 13 clutching her arm while another girl who seemed to be about 14 smirked down at her.

"You are so weak, that’s why your mate won't ever want you" the 14 year old girl says smiling evilly as the Younger girl's eyes fill with tears.

Before I can stop myself, I storm towards the girls until I am crouching down in front of the 13 year old girl.

"Are you okay honey?" I ask her softly making the 14 year old girl snort.

She sniffles softly before answering "Yeah, just a little misunderstanding" she mutters not looking me in the eye.

I look down at her arm and gasp. It looked like if someone snapped her arm so its bent the wrong way.

"Oh gosh, we got to get you to the medical center Maddox talked about." I say staring at her arm some more.

"Look lady, she said she is fine. She is just being a whiny baby" the 14 year old girl said rolling her eyes.

I scowl at her. "What are your names?" I ask the 14 year old girl.

"Mines is Caitlin and hers is Mary" she says in a bored tone.

"Well, Caitlin. Mary is not fine, and they told you to only pin your opponent not break their arms so I will have to tell Maddox" I say scoldingly.

"Listen here Lady! I don't know who you think you are but the only one who can tell me what to do are Alpha Maddox, Beta Leonardo and Derek. Not even my parents do it so could you just get down out of your high horse! I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Alpha but if you think that by being his 'friend' you will become Luna then you are mistaken. He is waiting for his mate so just give up and get the hell away from me" she snaps and starts walking away, leaving me totally dumbfounded.

"Umm, what just happened?" I asked Mary.

"She is just in shock because you were with Alpha. He is never around other females so she thinks you are trying to take our Luna's place. Plus she is sour cause you defended me" Mary explains.

I nod, "Let’s get you to the medical center so they can snap back to place your arm and it can heal properly" I say smiling at her, she smiles back.

"Maddox!" I holler.

In lightning speed, Maddox is in front of me. Everyone looks at me wide eyed because I called their Alpha by his first name instead of his tittle.

"What's up Bab--mmm Jayda?" He asks, almost calling me baby.

"Can you take us to the medical center you talked about earlier? Mary needs someone to snap her arm back to place so it can start healing" I say smiling at him.

He nods then turns to Mary. "Who did that to you?" He asks with a serious no bullshit expression.

She instantly looks down "Caitlin did" she mutters.

Maddox sighs then starts walking, probably expecting us to follow him

"Can you walk?" I ask her softly.

"Yeah I can" Mary says with a small smile.

We start walking a few steps behind Maddox.

"You know, what she said it not true right?, your mate will love you as soon as he sees you. You are a beautiful strong girl who wouldn't want you?" I say with a wink making Mary giggle.

"Thanks, what's your name?" Mary asks.

"My name is Jayda Donovan" I say with a smile.

The girl gasps "As in Beta L. Donovan?" Mary asks amazed.

Surprisingly, I don't feel anger at the mention of my dad. I actually understand why he left us. He found his mate. The only person who could give him happiness. Maybe it was wrong how he just left us but I just can't feel the hate that I felt for him yesterday. It must be my mark, Maddox did say it made me more understanding and loving.

I smile at her "Yes I am his daughter"

Before she could say anymore we got to the medical center.

Maddox was looking at me with a knowing smile, and his eyes held pride. Making me think he heard mine and Mary's conversation.

"What seems to be the problem Alpha?" A beautiful young woman wearing a white robe asks him. As soon as she sees me her eyes zoom in on my neck, making me blush and her grin.

A little squeal left the doctor's mouth making me blush and Maddox raise an eyebrow at her.

The doctor's eyes widen and she clears her throat.

"Hello, my name is Dr. Jenni" she says holding out her hand for me.

"Nice to meet you, Jayda" I say shaking firmly her outstretched hand.

"The pleasure is all mine, now what seems to be the problem?" Dr. Jenni asks.

"Well Mary broke her arm while training" I say looking at the little 13 year old who was shying away from Dr. Jenni behind me.

"It's okay, she won't hurt you" I say with an encouraging smile.

"Okay, Thank you so much for everything you did today" she says giving me a tight hug.

I smile at her "It's no problem at all Mary" I say hugging her back.

Maddox has a grin plastered on his face.

"Well thanks from bringing her here, she is now in good hand so you can continue with what you were doing" Dr. Jenni says, I was about to protest but Maddox beats me to it.

"Thank you Doctor, have a nice day both of you" Maddox says curtly. He drags me out of the medical center.

"Now we need to see the cellars" Maddox says while walking towards the cellars.

We stop in front of a metal door, the building is made of cement, from what I can see it has no windows and unlike the pack village that is colorful and cute. The cellars look ugly and depressing. Maddox took out a little key and opened the door. The smell made my gut twist. It smelled like blood and death. Maddox didn't seem to mind the smell as if he was used to it.

He started walking inside when I stopped him.

"Maddox please, I don't want to go in there" I say softly.

He sighs "I'm sorry baby but you need to know every aspect of the pack and this is one of them" he says frowning.

"I am not ready, please just give me time I can't go in there yet" I say, my voice trembling and my eyes watered with unshed tears.

His eyes immediately soften. He quickly closes and locks the door. Then pulls me in for a hug. "I'm so sorry baby, I didn't mean to make you cry please don't cry" he says in a pained voice.

"This is just overwhelming for me, I'm not ready to see all of that" I say letting the tears run free.

"Please Jayda, don't cry baby" he says his voice full of helplessness.

I take a deep breath and will myself to stop the tears. "I promise, I will go in there soon" I say, my voice hoarse from crying.

"It’s okay babe, take all the time you need" he says kissing the top of my head.

He grabs hold of my hand and starts walking towards the Alpha house, I absentmindedly follow him. Still thinking of the smell of blood and death in the cellar.

Before I know it they are standing in front of the Alpha house.

"Babe, I mind linked Nikki to come so you guys can go shopping" Maddox says looking at me.

I smile "Do you want to come?" I say hopefully. I like hanging out with Nikki but when I am with Maddox I feel complete.

"Shopping? No thank you" he says shaking his head.

I pout "You better be here when I come back"

He kisses my pout "I will"

Suddenly I see a brown haired beauty walking lazily towards us.

"Nikki!" I holler making her eyes snap to me.

"Jayda!" She squeals.

"Maddox!" My mate says in a falsetto girls voice.

We both look at him and he shrugs.

Nikki rolls her eyes then she looks at my neck.

"OMG!!! You are Luna!!!" Nikki says jumping up and down.

Maddox smiles and I kiss his cheek.

I nod blushing.

"Okay Jayda here are the rules, no short dresses and no showing cleavage. No talking to other males, no looking at other males, and if something happens immediately mind link me " Maddox says making Nikki and I roll our eyes

"Yes Alpha" Nikki and I say mockingly.

"I'm serious, Nikki I am sure Luke had this talk with you before you came here" he says smirking.

She sighs "Yes he did"

"Well then ladies, you should get going" Maddox says giving me a quick kiss and waving at Nikki.

"Oh, I almost forgot" Maddox says taking out his wallet and handing me a credit card.

"No Maddox, there is no need. I have my own money" I say trying to give him back his credit card.

"No! You are my mate, and there is no way in hell that my mate is going to pay for her own stuff so just take it a get going" he says sternly.

"But-" Maddox cuts me off.

"I don't want to hear it. Nikki make sure she only uses my credit card" Maddox orders.

"Okie dokie" Nicole says and starts dragging me to the woods so we can shift and run towards the car.

When we get to the car, we shift back and get dressed again. As soon as I get inside the car, Nikki starts speeding out of the woods.

Gosh! Does this girl know about speed limit?

What the hell did I get myself into?
