Mates with Alpha Maddox

I laugh but its humorless "Because I have a brother"

"You have a brother?" Ellie exclaims at the same time Nikki says "That doesn't mean anything. Were you expecting him not to have a kid?"

I roll my eyes "Jayson, my brother is 9 years old. My father left 8 years ago meaning he knocked his mate up at least a year before he up and left"

"Damn, why didn't you tell me before?" Ellie asks with wide eyes.

"I kind of just found out and I have also kind of been fighting with Maddox, my life has been a mess lately" I say looking out the window.

"I thought you knew you had a brother, thats why I didn't tell you" Nikki says honestly looking at me from the corner of her eye then goes back to driving.

I nod "I know"

"Have you talked to your dad about it already?" asks Ellie, her expression thoughtful.

I shake my head. "I haven't talked to him in a while and he hasn't tried to talk to me so its whatever"

"You will need to face it sooner or later. This is a conversation you, Beta and Karen need to have" Nikki says.

Sighing I say "I know that I just...I don't know"

"What about your mate? Why have you been fighting with him?" Ellie asks.

"Well firstly is that we have different...opinions about rouges and what to do with them" I start and Nikki scowls.

"What else should people do with them? They are killers that will take everything you love any chance they get" she says.

"Nikki not all of the rouges are the same!" I exclaim

"Yes they are, they deserve whatever they get" She says, her eyes hard while she looks at the rode.

I cross my arms "Ellie was a rouge, I was a rouge too"

She rolls her eyes "thats different"

"How is it different?" I ask raising my eyebrows.

She rolls her tongue over her top teeth in annoyance "You didn't know about packs and Ellie had her reasons to being one! The guy you encountered the first time you saw Maddox? The one that wanted to mark you against your own will? That is how most of the rouges are! They are ruthless killers that will not bat an eye before hurting you and the people you love"

I blink. Once. Twice.
