It's not that Maddox wanted to draw a wedge between Damon and Talia.
Maddox was trying to understand what possessed his friend of many years.
Damon and Maddox are collaborating as Alphas of their respective packs, and they are also close on a personal level. Considering their Alpha nature to dominate, they aren't buddy-buddies in a normal sense because they clash often, but they flipped many skirts together and Maddox can confirm that Damon is the most promiscuous Alpha of their generation. Damon never tried to twist that fact or to change, so this was odd.
No matter how Maddox looked at it, there could be only one catalyst for this shift in Damon's behavior.
"I must congratulate you, Talia.", Maddox said.
She was afraid to find out more, but she had to. "For?"
"I have known this guy for a long time", Maddox said while gesturing toward Damon. "He never cared about someone's opinion to the point of trying to conceal his nature. Until now."
