Chapter 161
161 – Maybe I Want To Marry Someone Else
Madeline:
“You’re trying to irk me,” I yelled at Silver, who suddenly rushed toward me with her claws out, as if she were ready to scratch me. Something inside me snapped. I knew my wolf had woken up.
However, before she could fix her eyes on me, her claws scraped across someone’s back. I opened my eyes and saw Baxter standing in front of me. His expression held clear anger.
Silver yelped and stepped back from him, while he turned to face her. Now that his back was toward me, I realized she had clawed him instead of me when he stepped between us.
“ I did not want to hurt you,” she screamed at Baxter for coming between us and making it appear as if she had raised her claws at an alpha.
“So you wanted to attack her? Is that your confession?” Baxter shouted at her, and she shivered.
“And you, what are you doing standing here letting her instigate Madeline?” Baxter yelled at Elgin, who groaned when he saw Silver.
His daughters started crying. They were as little as my children, and I felt bad for them.
“You have caused enough ruckus,” Elgin yelled at Silver, who looked between the alphas in shock, giving each a brief glance before turning her gaze to me over Baxter’s shoulder.
“This woman has driven you all crazy, ” she yelled.
“Mommy, why are you screaming so much?” Hailey, with her two little ponytails, mumbled as she hugged herself, while Hannah stayed silent with her face in her hands.
“Everyone, please quiet down. They are suffering,” I finally snapped, and the room fell silent for a moment.
“Please, everybody, return to your homes. It is nighttime for heaven’s sake,” I remarked, glaring at everyone one by one.
“Not only are my children resting, but these girls have been crying too,” I added.
“I’ll be waiting for you in the house. If you want to spend time with Hailey and Hannah, you have to come back to the guest house p>
Silver snapped at Elgin before she held both her daughters by their hands and started to pull them out of the house. However, Elgin did not step after her right away, giving me the sense that he needed to say something to
“I will go check on Hailey and Hannah while Baxter is here,” Elgin remarked, yet he still did not step away. “But I also want to make sure you understand that I do not agree with your decision,” he continued, causing Baxter to glance between us in confusion.
“We do not have another option, Madeline. You must marry me,” Elgin told me.
As he finished, Baxter snapped his head toward me again, as if trying to show that he recognized something was wrong. Elgin then turned around and wandered off.
As soon as he was out of my sight, Baxter faced me.
“What was he talking about? Did your husband say no to marrying him?” Baxter questioned me, not even acknowledging the claw marks on his back.

“No, my husband is not the problem,” I replied, rushing to grab a first aid kit.
However, he followed after me in confusion.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
I gave him a look and poured some ointment onto a clean cloth. When I stepped behind him, I noticed the claw marks on his back were gone. He instantly turned around, keeping his back away from me.
“You did not even transition,” I wondered aloud, hinting at the fact that a werewolf must either transition or let their wolf take partial control to heal.
In his case, he had done neither. I looked into his eyes, holding back the questions rising in my mind, but he already knew what I was thinking.
“Forget it. Some things are not going to change,” he muttered in defeat, and I already understood what he meant.
“Did you not get help for it?” I asked.
He only shook his head to change the subject.
“Tell me, what did you say to Elgin, and why did you say it?” he pressed, repeating the question again and again.
“I have noticed something about Elgin’s behavior toward the children,” I replied. It struck me how suddenly I was being honest and sharing things with Baxter.
“What do you mean by his behavior toward the children? What is it?” he asked, looking concerned.
“I think he does not see the other children the same way he sees his own daughter, Elara,” I explained.
As I finished, Baxter slapped his forehead and shook his head.
“He is so immature. I can speak with him if you want me to,” he suggested.
I began to shake my head.
“I do not want to marry him. Silver could become really messy, and I do not want to ruin her marriage. Even though he says nothing has happened between them, they are still married,” I mumbled, anxiously rubbing my palms together.
“Do you want me to speak with him about it? Maybe he is planning on leaving her?” Baxter wondered.
Once again, I shook my head.
“No, I do not want you to do anything. I do not even know what I want myself,” I mumbled, taking a deep breath before sitting down on the couch in defeat.
“Do you want to marry someone else?” he asked.
As soon as he asked, my body flinched.
