Trouble

ALPHA MAX

CHAPTER 4:

"The Alpha got mad at you because you helped him?" Eleanor asked Giovanni, they sat in the living room, Max and Coke went to a meeting with the elders, about the rogues attacks (lone wolf that got kicked out of the pack).

"No it's the other way, Alpha Max was mad at him because he mentioned Princess Hailee in front of his mate." Huxley chuckled as he wrapped an arm around his mate, hearing the pack members laughing about Giovanny mistake.

"It's not funny, you fuckers!" He snarled and left the living room in anger, leaving them. Marco who is the son of the captain of the warriors frowned with his apple in his hands.

"Why are you frowning?" Peyton the son of the pack lawyer smiled and noticed his friend behaviour.

"Who is our Luna?"

"It's a human girl, she's my new friend." Eleanor squealed and grinned, Marco nodded with narrowed eyes, he was feeling doubtful about her. Marco only trusts his Alpha, his Alpha is the reason for his life. His dad told him to protect his Alpha with his life, which is Max.

"Guys, where is my mom?" Max get downstairs with Cole behind him.

"Luna went shopping with her friends!" Peyton yelled.

"No need to yell I'm right here." Max said behind Peyton, he turned around and screamed as he saw his alpha using his power to get here, he breathed heavily as he held his poor heart.

"Alpha Max, please don't scare our little Peyton here." Huxley cooed and pinched his cheek, tugging it.

"Fuck off!" He yelled and swatted his hands away from his face.

"I'm not joking, where the fuck is my dad then?" Max said with frustration.

"I heard from the elders that he went away with his friends in Bali." Huxley stated.

"The fuck? Bali? They fucking left me to have fun." Max growled in anger.

"It's life brother." Cole said as he patted his friend shoulders.

"Fuck you, dude." He held up the middle finger in front of him and pushed his hand out of his shoulder.

"That's what I get for being helpful." Cole pouted sadly.

"So what are you going to do about your mate?" Marco stepped in, changing the subject.

"I will ask her to be my girlfriend and then it's done."

When Peyton heard his Alpha suggestion, he spilt the water out of his mouth, landing it on Marco's face and widened his face in shock.

"Excuse me, what did you say?" He asked in front of his Alpha while Marco glared at him, Huxley and Eleanor tried to not laugh, Cole is...just here, watching the scene like a spectator.

"Well, Cole said it would be easy to ask her to be my girlfriend, if she doesn't accept my proposal then I will kidnap her." Max shrugged.

"What the fuck? I never said that!" Cole shouted, he turned toward Peyton who gave him a death glare.

"You are my guardian Cole, of course, you will tell me what to do not like my stupid brother."

"Listen, Peyton, I never said that, Max is always the person who blames people, you have to listen to me." Cole pleaded toward Peyton who was already in front of him, one thing that you should is to never and never force a woman into something.

"You should run before he does a horrible thing to you." Huxley snorted and Cole listens to his advice, Peyton ran after him while Max is sighing in annoyance.

"Fucking morons." He muttered.

It was time for Jayla to go back to school, after a normal weekend where her parents were obsessed with their work while Darby went out with his friends, she was again left alone.

She took her time to think about Max, the guy who mostly took her whole mind, she couldn't stop thinking about him and also the way he grabbed her, there were sparks when he touched her. She frowned furiously as she struggled to put her book in her pack bag, she was thinking hard about why she felt sparks when Max touched her.

She sighed as she finally got her books in her bag, she put on her shoes and held her phone in her hand, doing nothing while going downstairs.

"Sis, you need a ride?" A voice who seems familiar to her yelled.

"I would love to." She answered as she rushed to get to the kitchen and took a banana and almonds. She grabbed the lunch bag that her brother made.

"Where are mom and dad?" She asked while munching her almonds.

"The usual." She knew what he meant, they were away for work. It was beginning to be frustrating and annoying for her.

"Oh right, let's go, I don't want to be late." She said and walked fast toward her brother car, she got in his car and waited for a moment for him to get out of the house and locked the door. As soon as he did that, he walked back to his car and turned on the car then drives off.

"What do you have today?" Darby started after a moment of silence.

"Boring subjects."

"What kind of subjects?"

"None of your business."

"Jayla." He said, turning toward her as soon there is a red light.

"I know you're angry about mom and dad."

"I'm not only angry, but I'm also pissed and annoyed, it's been years, Darby. They didn't spend with us, I haven't been on a holiday with them. They didn't even say goodnight or left any kisses on the forehead when I was a kid! I was jealous of them going somewhere with their parents, spending time with their family. We never had that Darby! I never spent a day with our parents because they are workaholics!"

"They are doing this for our future." Darby said calmly.

"Well, I only want them to spend a day with us, like a family." She said and then left his car since he reached her school. Darby sighed deeply and closed his car as he got out of his car, he followed his sister.

"Jayla, listen to me!" He said, trying to catch her up. Everyone who is around the school was watching them, most of them had those shock on his face as they saw Darby, the old senior popular guy coming into their school. Jayla didn't pay any attention to them, she walked toward the hall, her eyes on the ground, walking fast until she bumped into a wall.

She was about to fall when someone catches her, again she felt the sparks, she knew who was the person holding her thanks to the sparks and his strong mint cologne.

"Max." She whispered, lifted her head up to see the beautiful face of this handsome man.

Max has always this cold, stony face. But when his eyes meet his mate eyes, it softened literally. Those cold eyes were able to be softened.

"Jayla! I'm talking to yo—Max." Darby was about to call her again when he saw Max holding her, not breaking his stare at Jayla who looked flushed, behind Max were Marco and Cole.

"What happened?" He said sternly, expecting an explanation. Since he didn't want to let go of Jayla, he turned her toward her bother, his arm wrapped around her shoulders.

"None of your business, Max." Darby rolled his eyes.

Max narrowed his eyes in anger toward him, he clenched his fist and was trying his hardest to control his anger.

"What the fuck are you telling me that it's not my fucking business?!" He growled, capturing everyone attention.

Of course, they wouldn't miss a fight between two hot popular boys. Fighting about the only, normal girl right in between them.

"Max, calm—"

"Don't fucking tell me to calm down!" Max said harshly, earning a flinch from Jayla, she sighed and looked at Darby while removing the arm that bothered her.

"Please Max, don't make a scene." She said sternly, looking straight at him. He widened his eyes, with adoration, the way she pronounced his name made him.

"She's right, we are late, let's go." Marco stepped in as he grabbed his Alpha arm with Cole beside him, they walked outside of the hall, scaring off the students that were expecting a show thanks to Max deathly glare.

"Darby, you can't be here." She said to her brother who was still here.

"Why can't I be here? I mean I was a student here last year."

"Darby, please can't we talk about this later at home?" She begged, she was late and didn't want to ruin her perfect attendance.

"I see you at home, have a good day." He said and left the school. Jayla walked quickly toward her class, she knocked on the door and saw her teacher who was explaining the lesson.

"What do we have here? Mrs Jacobs, what a pleasure to have you in my class!" The teacher exclaimed with irony, she rolled her eyes and get into the class.

"The reason for your lateness?" The old, blond woman asked Jayla.

"My brother was here, he needed to talk to me in urgent." If she used her brother as an excuse it will not get her in trouble. Last year, Darby Jacobs was the king of the school, he was the president of the student council, a perfect attendance, the captain of the basketball team, he was the golden boy, not the bad boy.

Unfortunately for his sister, teachers expect her to be the same as her brother, they never excepted a quiet, freak kid who was only good at math.

"Darby was here, oh, well you can sit down." The teacher said with a blush on her face, Jayla felt disgusted and weirded out the fact that her English teacher had a crush on her brother. He's like 20 while she's 65.

"Karen the bitch." She muttered as she passed down the tables, a kid heard her muttering, he tried to not laugh, well-tried.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?." Jayla heard the woman speaking.

She turned toward the woman and gave her a fake smile. "Nothing."

"That was sick." Giovanni said beside her as she sat down, she grinned and took out her stuff.

"What happened back then?" He whispered while looking at the board.

"What do you mean?" Jayla replied with a frown on her face.

"Well, apparently there was a fight between the old golden boy and the new bad boy." He chuckled quietly.

"You talking about my brother and Max? They didn't fight." She whispered, frowning even harder the thought of them fighting in the hall when Darby will wear white clothes with a sword as an angel meanwhile Max wearing dark clothes and a sword like a devil.

She quickly shook her thoughts and focused on the class even though she doesn't care about the lesson.

"Anyway, wanna eat ice cream after school?" He proposed, going close to Jayla who widened her eyes, she was feeling embarrassed and shy because of his face close to hers.

"I will think about it."

"Nope, you will not think. You will come with me." He said with a grin as he held his finger up, when suddenly a pencil was flying toward Giovanni, it landed on his forehead.

"Fuck!" He yelled in pain as he held his forehead, rubbing it harshly. The kids were looking at Giovanni curiously except one person who was laughing, the person who did this to Gio.

"Excuse me! Mr Black, I don't think you should yell inappropriate words in my class!" The teacher shouted at Gio who was too busy glaring at Huxley.

"Fuck you." Huxley mouthed those words to Giovanni behind the teacher back.

"This piece of shit." He grumbled and rolled his eyes, annoyed.

Jayla laughed, biting her lips to stop the noise coming from her mouth. It was the first time that she laughed in class which she hated, that made her feel happy.
