Maddox Hatter Novels & Stories

"Russell's sponsor is asking him to fight new year's eve. But I worry his ribs might not be fully healed by then." "Sponsor? Russ... You didn't tell me you had a sponsor? Way to go, son." he says happily, making Russell close his eyes as if I had just revealed a dark secret. "Who's your sponsor?" he asks. Both Russell and I respond at the same time. "No one important." "Knights Enterprise." Uncle Fred's jaw clenched, and I could see his face turn angrily. "Knights Enterprise?" he turns to Russell, who has his eyes closed and hands fisted.

The four of us stand up when five extremely large men walk in. “I am Kaden, and this is my cousin Alek. These two here are Brent and Lance.” I say. “Hey, I am Curtis, and this is Venom,” Curtis says. “I am Quade, and this is Zion. I am assuming you know Chaos.” Quade states.

Maddox's POV I sit here staring at him, taking in his features for the first time. His long light brown hair that almost has a red tint to it. It's straight and hangs to his chin. He has thick eyebrows with a sharp arch to them. A cute little nose and light stubble around his chin and jawline. He's extremely thin, he was very light when I carried him. They definitely didn't feed him much. I turn my head when I hear Addison come out of the bathroom. She pauses and looks at us with a smile. She walks around the bed before climbing in behind him.

My mother was bleeding… I remembered the broken shelves and the words she just told me recently. Before I knew it, I started fighting Cassandra in the air. “Enough!” Damon yelled and struck her on the arm. Cassandra dropped to the floor, coughing. Damon rushed to Scarlett first and looked straight at her wound. “It’s not silver. She will heal.” Then he turned to me. He tapped my shoulders gently, bringing me back from that edge. “Annie, breathe. I’ve got you.” The anger left my body for a while. I hurried to my mother to hold her and make sure she was safe and doing well. Then, she smiled slightly at me. “I’m fine, my girl. Go and finish this.

Then, softer, she said, “You don’t really want that. You know, life tends to be a lot more fun with everything goes on around it.” “I didn’t want any of this, Maddie” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose. “And I hate how everyone thinks that I want this so bad when I clearly do not. Please can we just close this subject because it is getting on my nerves.” She sighed again, this time with something heavier behind it. “Fine. You don’t want to talk, I get it. But just know… he’s not as unaffected as he looks. He hides it well, but it is also annoying him.”

Meanwhile, I knew Maddox could put everyone on edge. "Carol, please find out who this Mr. Maddox is.” "Ms. Chloe, Maddox O'Connell is the highest-ranking official of a government agency,“ Carol immediately replied, leaving me stunned. No wonder Atticus had acted decisively. It seemed Maddox hadn't disclosed everything last night. He had only come to help me, even though we didn't know each other. Still, I wondered why he did it or if he had some connection with Atlas. I wanted to know their relationship since Atlas could persuade the highest-ranking official to intervene on my behalf. I couldn’t make sense of anything.

I nervously giggled. As we watch, the hours go by and wolves are seen guarding the perimeter. I look at one screen and notice those bright silver eyes, the same silver eyes that I had caught watching me shower from in my backyard. Those eyes belong to a bigger wolf than the others. A big, black wolf with silver eyes. “Jade, who is that?” I asked. “Well I guess you wouldn’t know yet, but that’s Alpha Wyatt” Jade replied. “That’s why he’s bigger than the others” I played it off.

"You are my seocn in command, Maddox. Be brave. I am just outside if you want my help." "Hugh, is it necessary that you step out the room?" he asked, with an innocent expression on his face. Seeing them like this reminded me when we were playmates. It was always Hugh who would stand as the big brother, while Maddoxc would be the cry baby. Hugh was always patient around him and would always have his back. Seeing them treat each other like this reminded me so much of the past. "Mika is one of the best healers among the witches." "The most beautiful, too. You're not allowed to forget that."

Maddox approached, his heart pounding, rehearsing the words he would say. I love you. I have been afraid to admit it, but I cannot hide from it any longer. I do not care about the consequences. I want to be with you. Whatever it takes. Whatever it costs. He turned the corner. And stopped. Hecate stood outside the apothecary, her black robes pulled tight against the cold, her hood pushed back to reveal her dark hair. She was speaking to someone, a man, his back to Maddox. He was tall, broad shouldered, his hair the color of dark honey.

She puts her book down and stands out of respect. Maddox looks amazing. He’s not wearing a tie, but he has on a dark gray suit jacket over his white button-down, and I can see a tuft of his chest hair sticking out. I want to wrap it around my finger. “Hi,” he says, smiling at me. “Hi,” I say back, sounding like a teenage girl. He extends a bouquet of pink roses. “Do you like pink?” he asks me. “I was going to get red, but I thought that might be… a bit too… forward.”
