Mates with Alpha Maddox novel Chapter 44

Jayda's POV.

"Are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to. Confrontations might not be good for our baby" Maddox tries to talk me out of it for the hundredth time.

He thinks that if I talk with my father then I will get too stressed and die or something.

I sigh exasperated "Maddox, we will just talk. We won't argue"

"Jayda, you exploded on me just because I was going to make breakfast instead of you." He points out.

I ignore him "You were fine with it two minutes ago! Why don't you want me to talk to him now?"

"Because you have been acting irrational today. Maybe you should do it tomorrow" he suggests and I glare.

"Are you kidding me Maddox? Did you just call me irrational? How dare you!" I hiss.

He takes a deep breath as if to calm himself. "Look, you are driving me crazy. Calm down and just do it tomorrow" His tone is strained as if he wants to snap at me but deciding against it.

I gape at him. How dare he?

I stare at him for a few seconds and he stares back with a blank face, telling me he is not backing out.

I start crying.

"Why do you treat me like that? I just want to have a civilized conversation and can't even stand to be around me!"

Maddox runs his hand over his face and starts at me in panic "Jayda no I didn't mean that. It's just. Ugh fine. I'll call Leonardo so he comes over."

I immediately stop crying, wiping my face "Okay"

I give him a quick hug and he stares at me in shock.

"Ummmm..." Maddox trails of and I smile.

"I need to wash my face. Tell my father to meet me at your office. I want to talk to him alone. And please don't argue with me over this. I need to do this alone" I mumble then walking towards the bathroom.

Maddox follows behind me. "Done, told him to be here in 5 minutes."

I rinse my face, trying to erase all of the signs I was crying. "I don't know how you use mind link so much. It gives me a headache."

He shrugs "You get used to it"

As I was wiping my face with a towel Maddox hugs me from behind "Are you sure you don't want me to be with you? I won't talk or anything" he says kissing the top of my head.

"I'm sure, if I need you then I'll call you." Say turning around and giving him a tight hug.

He sighs, lifting my shirt up and rubbing my still flat stomach "I love you guys"

I grin "We love you too"

"We need to go to visit Dr. Jenny. She needs to check everything with the baby is going smoothly"

"Yeah we do" I nod.

We hear a knock on the door. And Maddox pulls away.

"Let's go" I mumble and walk with Maddox towards the front door.

Maddox opens it and my father is standing there.

His brown, short hair was damp and his face was freshly shaved.

He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and a black pants. When he saw me he smiled.

"Jayda, Alpha Maddox" he greets and Maddox scowls at him.

"Beta" Maddox says, his voice like steel.

I had never seen Maddox be so hostile towards my father.

"What did you want to talk about Alpha is it about the new pack member?" My father asks.

Maddox shakes his head "You aren't talking to me. Jayda wanted to talk to you"

Leonardo looked surprised but nods "yeah of course" he quickly says.

I stay quiet and Maddox leads all of us towards his office.

When we get to the door Maddox turns to my dad. "Think twice before saying something hurts or disrespectful to Jayda. I will not hesitate to kill you because at the end of the day I can always find myself a new Beta"

My dad stares at Maddox with wide eyes "Okay, I won't" he bows his head and walks inside.

Maddox kisses my forehead and leaves, leaving me to face my father.

I walk inside and sit on Maddox chair behind his huge desk.

When I am finally sitting I ignore my dad and start searching through Maddox's draws until I find a packet of peppermint gun.

I take one without offering my dad some.

I finally turn to Leonardo to see him staring back at me.

I clear my throat and he starts talking. "How are you Jayda?" He asks in a soft voice that reminds me of when I was younger, before he left.

I grin sarcastically at him "Never been better"

"I am happy to hear that" he says.

"I'm sure, anyway You aren't here to catch up. I want to know everything Leonardo" I say coldly.

"About what?" He asks.

I roll my eyes "About everything. About why you left, about why were you with my mom and had me in the first place, about Jayson, about Karen. About how you cheated on my mother with Karen AND had had Jayson while you still played house with my mother and I. I want to know absolutely everything."

My father sighs running a hand through his hair.

"I didn't love your mother" is the first thing he says and I feel as if I had been punched in the gut.

I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry and I wanted to kill him. How dare he just say he didn't love my mom!

I clear my throat once again "what do you mean? Why were you with her then?"

"I had met Karen on my 16th birthday and it was love at first site and I knew I would spend the rest of my life with her. We were perfect for each other, we never argued and we were always together" he starts and I urge him to keep going.

"But then nothing is ever as good as it seems, and even though we had a strong relationship Karen couldn't get pregnant. And as a Beta I need to have a baby so they could be the next Beta. We were both 22 when I suggested to find a human to have a baby with.

Of course Karen was against it at first but we were both desperate to have a pup so I went ahead and found your mom. She was beautiful just like you. Blonde hair and perfect body I decided I wanted her-" I cut him off.

"You disgusting asshole. How could you do this to her?" I yell, thank the lord the office was sound proof.

"You said you wanted to know everything and that is what I am telling you. I know the only way you can forgive me is if you know the whole truth." He says calmly .

"Okay keep going" I take a deep breath.
