Chapter 192
192 – Taking My Children Away
Madeline:
“How dare you!” I screamed, my fist clenched.
I was ready to step forward and smack his face.
When he turned to me, he looked at me with the same aggression I was giving him.
“Why? Did I say something wrong?” he snapped, grunting angrily. “Did your kid not attack my child?” he yelled, making me keep staring at him.
My wolf started to stir awake in the most unnatural way.
This kind of reaction could lead to a disaster, and it could push my wolf into attacking him.
“That is the sickness, the same sickness that you brought me here for!” I screamed back at him.
“No need to yell. A good lady never raises her voice. You are just proving his point that it will not be easy for him to take care of an alpha’s daughter and a mate who yells at him,” Lady Abigail remarked, making me snap my head toward her. I stared at her in disbelief.
“I think you should remind this gentleman that he is an alpha, and alphas are supposed to make decisions with thought,” Lord William stated.
The room went silent. Everyone turned to look at him.
He looked disappointed as he took off his glasses and set them aside.
“I understand that your daughter was attacked. And whose fault was it? Yours. The adult’s fault. Why are you dragging a sick child? Have we not seen what this sickness does to the children? How is it acceptable for us to show compassion to all the other children but single out one child for our own advantage?” Lord William raised his voice at Elgin the way a father would.
“I am disappointed in you, young man. You gave this lady hope after everything she has lost in the past few years, only to crush her again. And then, instead of admitting you cannot keep your promises, you put the blame on everyone, even her little daughter?” he shouted as he slammed his hand on the table. 1
Elgin stayed silent. A shameless, quiet man.
I began to feel a strong emotion rise inside me. Not because of Elgin’s words.
They only angered me. I felt a cold sting in my nose, like I had eaten something too strong.
That was how close I was to crying. After hearing Lord William defend me, I wanted to break down and thank him.
Even my own father had never taken a stand like that for me. But I knew if I opened my mouth, I would cry.
“And I will not hear any more comments toward this young lady again. Do you hear me?” Lord William told Abigail and Elgin.
Lady Abigail looked furious, while Lord Eldon rolled his eyes.
“And as for you, get up and leave. You have already wasted her time,” Lord William told Elgin.
And Elgin, even as an alpha, could not talk back to a council leader his age,

He also knew he had no ground left. He had acted like a coward.
“Well, I wanted to cancel the wedding anyway. If she is in such trouble, she should transition. I am sure she can do that for her children,” Elgin replied.
That was when he proved he was worse than Graham, if not less.
I stayed seated while he got up and left. He had chosen an alpha’s daughter and his first two children again.
Last time he claimed his parents forced him. This time he had no excuse.
“Well, it was a nice speech, Mr. William, but I believe you are reacting because you see your daughter in Madeline, “Lady Abigail remarked. “However, I will stick to the rules. Since Madeline does not have a mate and she cannot transition or does not want to transition,” she added, making it clear she believed Elgin’s hint that I was avoiding the transition.
“Then we must do what the rules say, which will be to take away the children and give them to their father, ” Lady Abigail finished.
I clenched my fists.
“Did you not hear one of the fathers tell you he wants nothing to do with the child?” I replied through my teeth.
“Then that child will become a ward of the council and will be placed with a guardian family.” she replied.
The minute she said it, I wanted to scream at her for even suggesting I was the one hiding from the transition. But I held myself back.
“There will be no need for it. You are forgetting that there is another father of the children. And not only that, there is another mate of Madeline p>
Alpha Graham’s arrival shocked me. The way he entered and the way he spoke made everyone go silent.
“Another mate?” Lady Abigail asked.
“Why is it so shocking? If she could give birth to three children, did you not know she was already special?” Graham remarked.
Graham used the same excuse that I once had in my mind when I was unsure about marrying Elgin.
But now he had given the same excuse, and it seemed like Lord Eldon was on his side, which already.meant the council would be lenient with him.
