Chapter 128
128 –Her Protective Husband
Nina:
When I made a plan to give the two of them a special kind of wine and catch them in the act, I felt very optimistic.
I had been anxious and nervous throughout the lunch, but at least I believed everything would be fine once they woke up in the same bed the next morning.
Alpha Baxter giving the kids those earplugs was the best idea.
They would never wake up from any noises, and the couple would go unbothered for a few hours.
Once I finished tucking the kids in, I received an email from Sawyer. It was a reply to the message I had sent him earlier.
“So, we are going to play a little game,” I told the kids as I sat on the stool next to their three beds.
“What kind of game?” Elara wondered.
“I will see which one of you can keep your eyes closed for longer. The one who does not open their eyes will be the winner,” I explained.
They instantly closed their eyes. I used to do this often.
They were competitive, and they would eventually fall asleep.
With their eyes shut, I checked the email with shaky hands. I had expected a lot from Sawyer.
I thought he would be furious with Madeline, that he would tell me to record everything and send it to him so he could keep watch over them.
I thought he would ask how she could act so irresponsibly and bring a man over just hours after he had left.
None of that happened.
All my hopes drowned when I opened the email and started to read it.
The subject alone made my stomach sink: stop talking nonsense about my wife.
I already understood the tone.
Dear, dear Nina,
Yes, I have reached, fine, like I would. Never heard of a storm like that, but I wish it had hit you so that you have not emailed me this bullshit.
What do you mean my wife went there and that something is going on between her and the alphas? Who are you to keep an eye on her?
I told you to give me news about her, not to make theories.
For her to leave urgently, it could be for anything. What did you expect me to react like?
What were you trying to say, that Madeline felt horny and left urgently to bring in Baxter, as if I would not know
her?
Now listen to me, since you already planted these little seeds, if anything happens because of that, you will be responsible.

So even if he did come there to plan something with her or to have a moment with her, you are on guard duty, make sure it does not happen.
Because if it happens and anything ends up happening between the two, I will come for your throat, point blank period.
So keep a good watch and make sure nothing happens.
And do not disrespect my wife like that again. Just give me the news and information without adding your own commentary, you understand that?
That was all.
By the time I finished reading, I was shaking. Tears kept forming and disappearing in my eyes.
I wanted to whimper and cry loudly, but the kids were still not asleep.
I could see Bodhi’s eyelids moving. I looked to the side at the mirror and noticed how red I had turned, from embarrassment, hurt, and disrespect.
I felt miserable that I could not even cry properly.
Then it hit me. If the two of them drank that wine and anything happened between them, Sawyer would kill me.
Not only would he kill me, but he would also question how I managed to record them yet did not stop them.
I rubbed my face with my hands. At least I had emailed him.
At least I found out before going through with such a stupid plan.
If I had shown him a video, he would have come for my throat instead, like he said.
Once I was sure the little shits were asleep, I got up and hurried out of the room, heading straight to the kitchen.
The other two were upstairs already.
I spilled all the wine I had prepared into the sink while tears streamed down my face, tossed the bottle into the bin, and grabbed a new one.
By the time I went upstairs, I was shaking terribly.
I wanted to cry my eyes out, and I had the storm as an excuse.
When I had left the two of them up there, not only did I return to her room to cry, but I also had to make sure nothing happened between them.
And then when I saw Madeline again, I cried my heart out. But I told her I wanted to go home. I truly did not want to stay here.
I never thought I would turn into such an evil person. It had something to do with the fact that I was in an evil land, where wolves were evil.
I had not been this toxic back in the human world.
As I stood in the bathroom, holding the edges of the sink and staring at my miserable image in the mirror, I could not stop feeling angry at myself.
I should not have stooped so low. I wondered if somehow Sawyer knew what I had been planning. If he did, then he would never feel anything for me.
2/3
After I finished crying, I stepped out of the bathroom and found Madeline wandering around anxiously.
“Can I please pack my bags and leave once the storm is over?” I requested again.
My breath was still hitching in my throat.
“I mean, I cannot force you to stay here,” she replied, her arms folded over her chest in a way that looked like she was hugging herself.
“Don’t worry, I am not going there for your husband,” I added, feeling miserable as my head tilted.
I began to cry in front of her, but very quietly.
She still looked like she felt bad for me, and I hated myself for it.
“It is okay, Nina. Everybody needs a break. You can go back, spend time with your father, be around humans. I understand,” she told me.
When she noticed how miserable I looked, she thankfully changed her tone.
With much more certainty, she let me know that I could go back home.
So it was decided. I was going to take a break from this toxic land and leave.
