Chapter 208
208 –I Cancelled The Wedding
Graham:
“You’re an alpha. You should know how to deal with these things,” my father stated, looking, me straight in the
eye.
“I know, but isn’t it hard this way?” I replied, watching his face with worry.
“I was the one who kept forcing her to marry me. I did everything to get her, to take her from others. And now that I finally have a chance to be with her, I’m going to throw it away?” I remarked, giving him a look of disbelief, especially because he had been the one urging me to do it. 1
“Okay, I’m going to tell you something,” my father explained. “Although Gina is an alpha’s daughter, once Kaylee gives you a son, he will be stronger than Gina p>
As soon as he said that, I lifted my hand slightly.
“It doesn’t matter to me if I have a daughter or a son. They are equal to me.” I told him quickly. “That is not why I am planning to cancel the wedding p>

“Well, then look at Madeline. Look at her character. Do you think people speak nicely about her?” my father
wondered.
“Even when she takes care of the sick children, even when she does so much for the community, when these people go home, they talk about her as if she is not good enough. They always pick on her. They always laugh at her. She has four mates. And the thought that she let all of you be with her, and allowed the others to be with her- don’t you see what I am saying?” he continued. 1
I began to realize that, yes, it was something people would judge her for
“Fine, I will go and speak with her,” I replied as I got up from the table.
“Good, you should do it tonight, because I do not think we can convince your wife to stay much longer. She is
serious about leaving,” my father stated, making me aware of Kaylee’s state of mind.
I decided that was it. I would go. I would convince Madeline and even apologize to her. 1
I hoped she would understand because she was a mother too.
Madeline’s mansion was right across the road, which made it easier to speak with her right away.
Earlier, I had heard some noise outside, but at that time I had been busy with Kaylee and the whole situation.
The lights in Madeline’s house were dim, but the front door was slightly open.
I began to wonder where Elgin and Silver had gone,
I had seen them from the dining room window, but I did not have the strength to explain anything to them.
I stepped inside Madeline’s house, telling myself that even if I had to promise to help her in different ways, I would do it. 1
I needed to explain my responsibilities to her.
I kept thinking about how I could soften the blow and how I could prevent her from getting angry.
But when I reached her room and stopped at the doorway, I froze.

There was someone sitting on the bed with her.
It was Alpha Ron.
He held a small bottle of wolfsbane in his hand, and I could tell he was giving her medicine.
Madeline looked exhausted. I could tell she was in pain. I remembered her call earlier.
She had told me she was sick. And because I did not help her, she had to rely on Ron.
Seeing that made me realize I truly could not handle two responsibilities.
But right then, another thought came to my mind. If I needed a reason to step back from the wedding, then this was it.
I could set the story however I wanted. I could tell the council I had walked in and seen her with another man.
I could say she had chosen someone else. I could say I did not want to break a marriage when she was already involved with someone else.
It could give me a clean exit. It would protect Kaylee and make her happy.
And no one would blame me. Not after what I would claim I saw.
I remained at the doorway waiting for the right moment.
Then I stepped into the room. In a destructive mood, I began to accuse her in the worst way possible.
The louder I was, the more believable my pain would appear. 1
And honestly speaking, even when I was doing something wrong, it was still for her benefit.
I noticed the way Ron was looking at her, trying to defend her.
So maybe that was it. He could marry her. Why did I have to ruin my marriage?
“You have disappointed me, Madeline,” I told her, watching her stare at me in disbelief.
I did not let her say a single word. Every time she opened her mouth, I began to shout and show all the emotions.
“ I know we are not committed to each other like that, but at least for the respect of each other. How do you want others to see me? That the stupid alpha is getting married while his wife is with another alpha?” I yelled.
Then I turned around to leave. I did not want to talk anymore.
I could not even tell her that it was over. I hoped she understood it.
I rushed out of the house, moving straight toward the mansion and the guest house, so I could give Kaylee the good news. And I did just that.
The minute I stepped into my room, Penny and my father, who had been trying to stop Kaylee from packing her bags, left the room.
Kaylee turned around and stared at me.
“ If you have come here to stop me, I am not stopping,” she remarked while I started to smile.
I reached her, gently held her elbows, and pulled her closer.

“I am not. You will stay on your own, because I am not marrying Madeline anymore,” I replied.
The minute I told her the news, she broke down and hugged me.
