C malloc valgrind invalid size entry

I had my invalid malloc entry (and many examples on this site), but I still have trouble pointing out what is causing some. Here I have an adjacency matrix used for plots and on allocation I get an invalid entry from valgrind (but no segmentation fault in the whole program). I also get invalid reads, but my guess is that this is caused by a bad write earlier.

FYI adj_matrix is ​​a typedef'd structure with int for the number of vertices and char ** for a real 2D array declared in the header file

Also, my post doesn't include a test file, all it does is allocate space for the structure and call those functions.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

#include "adj_matrix.h"

void adj_matrix_init(adj_matrix *matrix, const int num_vertices) {

    int i;
    char* temp;

    matrix->num_vertices = num_vertices;

    //INVALID WRITE & READ HERE
    if(!(matrix->matrix = malloc(num_vertices * sizeof(char *)))) { 
        fprintf(stderr, "Could not allocate space for the adjacency matrix.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    // THIS ONE WORKS THOUGH
    if(!(temp = calloc(num_vertices * num_vertices, sizeof(char)))) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Could not allocate space for the adjacency matrix.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    for(i = 0; i < num_vertices; i++) {
        (matrix->matrix)[i] = temp + (i * num_vertices); // INVALID READ
    }
}

void adj_matrix_destroy(adj_matrix *matrix) {

    free(matrix->matrix[0]); // INVALID READ
    free(matrix->matrix);
    free(matrix);
}

void adj_matrix_add_edge(adj_matrix *matrix, const int from_node, const int to_node) {
    matrix->matrix[from_node - 1][to_node - 1] = 1; // INVALID READ

    return (val1 <= val2) ? val1 : val2;
}

    const size_t terminator = adj_matrix_min(buffer_size, (size_t)pow((matrix->num_vertices+1) + 1, 2));
    int i, j, count = 0;

    printf("Buffer size: %zd\nMatrix size (plus null character): %f\nMinimum: %zd\n", buffer_size, pow((matrix->num_vertices + 1), 2), terminator);

    for(i = 0; i < matrix->num_vertices; i++) {
        for(j = 0; j < matrix->num_vertices; j++) {
            printf("TEST1: %s\n info: %d\n", buffer, matrix->matrix[i][1]); // JUST TESTING VALUES
            if( (count - 1) < terminator) {
                if(matrix->matrix[i][j]) {
                    printf("Got in with true\n");
                    buffer[count++] = '1';
                } else {
                    printf("Got in with false\n");
                    buffer[count++] = '0';
                }
                buffer[count] = '\0';
            }

                return terminator;
            }
            printf("TEST2: %s\n", buffer);
        }
        if( (count - 1) < terminator ) {
            buffer[count++] = '\n';
            buffer[count] = '\0';
        }
        else {
            buffer[buffer_size - 1] = '\0';
            return terminator;
        }
