Maddox POV
I had been going crazy trying to find the killer when Garret appears looking distressed.
"What happened?" I ask him in my authoritative voice.
"I-I we need to find the Luna" He says breathlessly.
"Why? What happened?" I ask, immediately giving him my full attention.
"Just....Keep an eye on her. It's for the best" he mumbles.
"What are you not telling me?" I growl.
"Just please go keep an eye on your mate or give me permission to stay with her" Garret insists.
I glare at him but make my way to the infirmary nonetheless.
When I get there everything is a wreck.
The first thing that comes to mind is that the killer attacked again but upon closer inspection I see that everyone is alive just really badly hurt.
The 13 people that were in the building at the moment were unconscious on the floor, but thankfully breathing.
I walk towards Jayda's hospital bed and see that she isn't there. The straps that were holding her down broken.
I shake awake a nurse that was on the floor.
"Where the hell is my mate?" i growl.
He stares at me for a few seconds until his eyes widen and he starts stuttering "T-The Luna a-attacked e-everyone. S-She has a crazy look in her eyes and She was too s-strong fo-r us to overpower her"
I stare at him "You are fucking telling me a heavily pregnant woman with an injured shoulder and drugged on tranquilizers over powered 13 fully capable werewolves?"
He nods shamefully.
"Where the hell did she go?" I seethe
" I don't know" he winces.
Cursing to myself I walk out of the infirmary and try to find Jayda's scent.
When I finally catch her scent I run towards it.
I find Jayda in the middle of a clearing just talking to herself.
Not just the normal talking to herself she is actually having an argument of some sort with herself.
She then does does something that makes my blood run cold.
She takes a knife that I hadn't noticed she was holding and puts it up to her stomach she then frowns and takes the knife away.
I Start approaching her slowly, not wanting to scare her and thinking she realized that what she wanted to do was a bad idea.
But then she brings the knife to her neck and I start running, my heart beating fast.
When I reach her I snatch the knife away from her.
Jayda's unfocused eyes land on my face.
"Maddox, you told me to end it. Please let me end it. Its for the best" she mumbles over and over again. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Jayda what the fuck where you thinking? You were going to kill yourself? What about our pups?" I yell, and try to shake some sense into her.
She rolls her eyes "I am not pregnant Maddox" She pokes her round stomach "See? No baby here"
"You are pregnant! But what about me, you were going to leave me?" I ask, my throat closing up at the thought of what could have happened.
She taps my head "It's okay Maddox, like you said. You will have Anna. And I am alright with that. I realized the problem I caused you two. Now please hand me back my knife so I can be happy"
"Are you fucking crazy?" I growl and start dragging her to Nikki's house.
I knock loudly until Luke opens the door.
As soon as he sees its me he relaxes.
"What happened?" he asks.
"You and Nikki watch her, she has been trying to kill herself I don't know why. She has gone insane. All I need you to do is to watch her until I get back. Tie her up if you need to" And with that I leave.
I needed to talk to Garret and figure out how he knew.
Garrets POV
I walk into the cellars in look of Marco. I had to talk to him about everything.
"Have you seen Xavier?" i ask him as soon as I know no one is listening.
"Yeah, he was here a while ago. Little fuckers decreased security on the cellars to secure the rest of the place" Marco mocks.
I scowl "Don't say that! They are my pack!"
Marco smirks "Who you betrayed"
"What could I do? Xavier is my mate! I have to be with him!" I defend.
"I'm not judging, I'm just as bad. I pretended to be Jayda's friend just so no one would suspect. They still did" He snorts.
"You should have seen that coming" I shrug.
"Well who cares Garret, even if it didn't. Jayda is about to die soon" He says nonchalantly.
I freeze "What? The Luna? You can't hurt the Luna"
"Jeez, Calm down. Xavier knew how adamant you were on him not hurting the Luna and since he loves you so much he decided to make her do it herself" Marco says.
"What do you mean?" I ask carefully.
He injected her with a drug that will make her suicidal for as long as its in her system. It also makes her hallucinate. It's hilarious"
I gape at him "How dare he? I told him not to mess with the Luna or Alpha. I was born to protect them"
"Ugh whatever, free me" Marco orders.
"Go to hell" I snap and leave the cellars.
I quickly find Maddox and convince him to go get Jayda, hoping it is not to late.
Then I start looking for my mate, the guy who manipulated me into helping him get Marco into the pack and a whole map of the pack.
I call him through mind link. Since we are mates we can mindlink whenever we want even if he isn't in a pack.
'Where are you?' I ask.
'Behind you, by the way nice ass' Xavier replies and I quickly turn around to see my mate.
"Why the fuck did you drug her?" I growl.
He raises an eyebrow "Who? The pregnant bitch?"
"Don't call her that Xav! She is my Luna" I snap.
He glares at me. "And I am your mate. You should only care about me not some stupid alpha couple"
"I have been caring about you, but I can't do it anymore. I realized that you don't love me. All you do is manipulate me." I say, looking away from him.
"I do love you, but I need to finish this first. I need to avenge my father's death first." Xavier says loudly.
"Bravo" I hear a voice and my eyes snap to my left where Maddox is standing with a dark smirk on his face.
"So you are the one who is betraying us?" Maddox asks aloud.
"Yes, he has been my eyes and ears as I planned to ruin your life"Xavier says smugly.
Maddox ignores him and looks directly at me. "Why would you help an asshole like him to avenge the death of his dad. The guy who raped Nicole"
I freeze.
Xavier didn't tell me that.
I turn to Xavier "You told me Maddox killed your dad because he was camping on the pack's border.
Xavier shrugs "It's almost the same thing"
Maddox scowls "I asked you a question, why would you help him?"
I look down at the floor "He is my mate"
"Hmm, good to know. Now I will kill you both, mind getting rid of those syringes or will I have to rip your arms off" He mumbles then shifts.
Xavier thinks about it for a second then shifts, all of his belts with the syringes falling to the floor.
I start sweating, I know Maddox can rip him to shreds but I can't find it in me to intervene. Maddox is my Alpha and Jayda is my Luna. And she is hurt because of him.
Because of me.
He lied to me and turned me against my pack.
So instead of getting in the fight I sit on the floor next to Xav's syringes and gun.
He has all kinds of different syringes filled with different drugs inside. Some lethal some still bad but not lethal.
I stare at the gun that was also laying on the floor.
When I look back up Xav's greay wolf is fighting Maddox's black one.
They are both bleeding heavily, Xavier tackles Maddox to the ground and once He is on top of Maddox he starts destroying his front paw to the point I see bone then his jaw locks on his leg and I hear the district sound of a bone breaking and I know he destroyed Maddox's front leg.
Maddox whines but then somehow his canines sink into Xavier's shoulder making him let go of Maddox paw.
Maddox pushes Xavier with his hind legs and he crashes onto a nearby tree.
Maddox lips his way towards Xav who is now standing back up.
Maddox's legs was crushed, he wasn't able to run around and be fast and that was an advantage to Xavier.
Xavier's disadvantage is that the only way he know how to fight is with his syringes and gun. He never trained in wolf form. Also the fact that Maddox kept tKing chunks of flesh everytime he got close wasn't helping either
Maddox wouldn't stop until he killed my mate.
And I don't think I would stop him.
Maddox slowly makes his way to Xav, making sure his unharmed leg didn't touch the ground.
Then before I can even blink Maddox's teeth were on Xavier's neck.
I gasp and make my way to stand up.
My mate is going to die.
"M-Maddox, p-please" I plead.
Maddox face turns to me, Xavier's neck still between his canines and just as our eyes meet he clamps his mouth shut. Crushing Xavier's neck. Killing him.
He then lets Xavier fall to the ground, shifting into his human form. his neck was flat with bite marks all over it and blood was seeping from his mouth and nose.
"Y-you killed him" I sob.
"Yes I did Garret, and you are lucky I didn't kill you too. Leave my pack immediately and if I ever see you again you are dead" Maddox says glaring at me.
"I can't go on, sorry for what I helped do to Jayda, Ellie and the rest of the pack members" and with that I close my eyes, grab the gun, put it a against my temple and pull the trigger.
BOOM.
And then it was over.
