Chapter 25: 25

&#lt;p&#gt;Jayda's POV
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Eli stands beside be with wide eyes while Nikki runs over to Anna and gives her a tight hug.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Holy shit! I didn't know you would be here Anna" Nikki says with a bright smile.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well my dear older brother told me you and Maddox would be here soon so I flew here as soon as I
could. I've been here for about a week already" Anna says with a British accent.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;'Of course the bitch had a cool accent' I think bitterly.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I catch Ellie's gaze and she raises an eyebrow at me as if asking "What the hell is going on?" I simply
shrug and turn my gaze towards Maddox who was talking to a guy about his same height with sandy
brown hair and bright green eyes.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I want towards them and stand beside Maddox.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Maddox smiles at me as soon as he sees me but since I am mad at me I just give him a blank and
smile towards the other guy who I am guessing is Alpha Byron.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Jayda, this is Alpha Ian Byron. Ian this is Luna Jayda Donovan" Maddox says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Nice to meet you Alpha Byron" I say with a smile.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh, no. Call me Ian, Alpha Byron was my father" He says with a small chuckle.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Well, in that case you call me Jayda"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I-" Ian was about to say something but was cut off by an angry Maddox.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Are fucking kidding me Ian? Flirting with my mate right in front of me?" Maddox growls out.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Damn, chill brother" Ian says with a laugh.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"We were just introducing each other! Its not like I jumped onto his open arms as soon as I saw him" I
hiss, referring to how Anna jumped on his arms as soon as she saw him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He glares at me and I glare back.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Whats all the fuss about?" Anna asks walking up to us and putting her arm around Maddox's
shoulders.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Hands off my mate before I rip them off" I say with a growl.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Before she takes her hand off Maddox steps away from her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Calm down Jayda" he says in my ear.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I give him my meanest glare then storm off towards Nikki and Ellie.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;As soon as I reach Nikki I grab her arm and drag her towards Maddox's truck.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Nikki, who the fuck is Anna?" I say while glaring at her.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She is Alpha Byron's little sister. She is our same age" Nikki says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I know but what is she to Maddox?" i ask.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Nothing. She used to be his best friend though. Well kind of. Ian and Maddox were best friends and
Anna was always following them around so they were really close " Nikki shrugs.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She has a thing for him" I state and Nikki nods.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"She does, she always has had a thing for him"&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Why do you say this so calmly? He is my mate. And did you see what she did when we got here?" I
ask in outrage.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Nikki cringes "oh, I was hoping you hasn't seen that"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"How would I not see it? She was all over him" I snap while running a hand through my blonde hair.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Maddox would never do anything with her. He loves you. You are the most important thing in his life"
she says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Thats what they all say, all guys are the same. Disgusting cheating assholes who like to see us
woman suffer" I say then freeze. My emotions were all over the place. The fact that my dad had
cheated didn't mean that Maddox would.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I take a deep breath then say "I just- uh I don't know what to think. All I know is that if that bitch thinks
that she can just try to flirt with my mate and not lose a limb then she is mistaken. So next time you talk
to her tell her not to mess with whats mine" I say and get out of the truck towards where Ian was .
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Hey Ian, umm where is Maddox?" I ask him with a smile.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"He is working on some pack business with Anna and the Beta" he says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Anna?" i ask trying not to sound bitter but most likely failing.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah, she is really good with strategy so we decided it would be good for her to help" He says.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Mmm, not trying to he rude but why aren't you with them?" I ask.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He chuckles "I already know everything that will be said in that meeting. My sister and Beta told me
everything when they came up with it."&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Oh Okay" I say with a frown. I didn't like the idea of Anna and Maddox in a room together even if the
beta was with them. I didn't trust her, I didn't trust her one bit.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah, so do you want a tour of the place?" Ian asks.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I am pretty sure Maddox wouldn't like that" I say.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Ian smirks "I don't really care, we aren't doing anything wrong plus he is kind of in a room with my sister
who is head over heels for him. He knows you don't like it but he is still doing it it" He points out.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"You are right..." I trail off while thinking about it.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"C'mon Jayda, this is harmless fun. I promise I will not do anything Bad." He says holding out his hand
to me.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I sigh "fine, but I wont hold your hand" I say with a laugh and start walking beside him.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Maybe he will help me time my mind off of Maddox and Anna for a while.&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;
