Fangs and Fur

3- Through Out The Years...

Maddox POV~

"Have a good day Alpha Maddox! We'll see you at the annual ball" The Luna says waving as her and her mate leave. I nod before turning around when she shuts the car door. I growl in frustration as I make my way back in the pack house heading towards the gym in the basement. I can't stand seeing mated pairs anymore, watching them together just makes me remember what I lost. I burst through the door making my way to the closet punching bag before letting all my anger out. Hit after hit I obliterate the punching bag when suddenly HIS eyes flash through my mind. I sit putting my head in my hands, cursing myself for the millionth time and how stupid I was back then. I don't know how long I sat there before a hand on my shoulder cause my to growl in warning at who ever it was. "Woah! It's just me dude" Enzo my beta says taking a few steps back, I can't blame him though my temper has been short these last few years to say the least. "What." I snap wondering what could possibly be wrong now. "I was just coming to ask if you wanted to go out with us tonight. There's a new gym opening and they have a boxing ring too." He tells me taking a step towards me. "Why would I want to go to a gym?" I ask his harshly hating the idea immediately, he sighs before continuing. " it's not the gym we're going to see, it's the boxer. Remember that boxer I'm always telling you about? The assassin. Well he's gonna be fighting at the gyms grand opening tonight and this might be my only chance to see one of his fights!" He explains looking excited at getting to see his favorite boxer fight. "I'm good, you guys go ahead. I think I'll just stay in tonight." I sigh out not feeling like going out. He squats down to my place on the floor before grabbing my shoulder shaking it lightly. "Dudeee you have to go! You're my best friend I can't let you stay home and mope around alone but this is also my one chance to see him fight so please for my sake go out just this once!" He whines like a little kid getting told no, I huff before standing up. "What time are we leaving?" I ask annoyed. He jumps to his feet at my words, his eyes lighting up in excitement. "It starts at 6 but we're gonna get food before so we're gonna leave at 4:30. So go get ready it's already 3:50!" He says while dragging me out of the gym and towards the stairs. I chuckle before heading to my room to get ready. The smile leaves my face once I'm alone as my mind wanders back to my mate, I could be taking my mate with me right now if I hadn't been so stupid. I sigh as I make it to my room, wishing I had done things differently that day, wishing I hadn't had the stupid thought that mated were a weakness. I would be getting ready with my mate right now if I hadn't let that stupid thought dictate my choices. I shake my head of the depressing thoughts before heading to my bathroom to take a quick shower. I turn on the water and jump in not waiting for it to heat up. I wash up as fast as I can and turn the water off before drying off while walking to my closet. I quickly slip on some boxers with a pair of jeans and a black shirt before sitting down to put my black biker style boots. Once I'm dressed I grab my phone before heading downstairs to meet up with everyone. "Finally! Gosh my mates gets ready quicker and he has a 10 step face routine" Enzo exclaims dramatically before heading towards the the garage door. "Shut up asshole" I  say while rolling my eyes. He sticks his tongue out at me before walking over to his custom 7 seater Jeep Wrangler, jumping in the driver seat. I roll my eyes again before we all get in. "So Enzo who's this boxer you're so excited to see?" Juno my third in command Ramone's mate. "Only the fastest rising boxer in the business right now! But he's odd cause he won't do anything big time like a world championship. He just fights a these little boxing gyms" he says and you can practically feel the excitement rolling off of him. "If he's so good, why doesn't he go pro?" Ramone asks looking confused. "Don't know, but he gets boxers from all over to challenge him. But He hasn't lost a match yet." He shrugs his shoulders as he explains. "Maybe he just doesn't want to" Remi, Enzo's mate suggests with a shrug of his shoulders. "Or maybe he scared" I say. "Scared! Ha! Not my boy! He's a total badass you'll see!" He says defending his boxer. I go to reply but we pull into the diner so I decide to drop it for now as I am starving from not eating all day. We get out and head towards the diner. With in minutes we're sat and ordering and I've never been more grateful for fast service as my stomach grumbles violently. Once we've all finished eating, we pay and load back up into the Jeep and head to the gym. We get to the building and park when my wolf starts to stir. That's weird I think in my head, my wolf don't do much anymore since I drove my mate away so him storing is definitely odd. I decide to ignore it for now and follow my friends to the line to get in. After a boring 10 minutes of waiting it's our turn, Enzo hands the ticket lady our tickets I didn't know he had and we walk in. Enzo leads up to our seats and we all sit getting comfy while we wait for the event to begin.
