Chapter 326
326 – The Invaders
Madeline:
“What the heck is going on?” I instantly complained as I watched Graham and Elgin look around before turning
to me.
They wore smirks that immediately made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
“ Come on, have a seat with us,” Graham told me as he sat down on the couch, patting the seat beside him.
Baxter lost it.
He rushed toward Graham, but five warriors lunged at him, grabbing his arms, hands, and the back of his neck to restrain him.
“What is going on? Why are they attacking Baxter?” I screamed as I rushed over to fight the warriors around him.
Baxter flung his arm, tossing two warriors onto the ground. Then he kicked another in the knee, making him crumble in pain.
He wrapped his arm around the one gripping his neck and rolled him over his shoulder, throwing him forward.
“It seems like he still has some spark left in him,” Elgin chuckled as he lounged on the solo sofa.
As soon as I reached Baxter, another warrior charged at him. I stepped in the way, placed my hand on his chest, and shoved him back.
That was enough to send him crashing into the wall.
“Oh, did you just see that?” Elgin suddenly remarked, pointing toward us.
Everyone went silent as Baxter moved closer and pulled me against him, watching them with warning in his
eyes.
“She has a wolf, it seems like,” Elgin said carefully, causing the warriors to grunt.
“Oh no. Would that mean the council would want to know what kind of monster is hiding in the woods? What if they found out who she is p>
Graham paused, winking at me. It was a subtle reminder that they already knew about my wolf and how hostile it could be.
“What is your purpose behind coming here?” Baxter snapped at them.
I had no clue what was going on, but their presence sent chills down my spine.
It was also the way they were acting. The looks on their faces were strange and unsettling. 1
“Oh, come on. Why are you making it seem like we are bad people invading your home? We are your buddies. Don’t forget that,” Elgin joked, causing me to shake my head in disbelief.
Just a few hours ago, I had helped his daughter wake up, and this was how he was repaying my help.

“Anyway, Elgin, please take out your phone. I want to make sure a certain someone here has a camera pointed at her, just in case she has a wolf and tries to transition, ” Graham stated as he watched Elgin smirk and pull out his phone.
At this point, we had no idea what was going on.
“You need to step away from my property,” Baxter warned as he moved away from me and crossed the living room toward where the two men were sitting on opposite sides of the table.
“Easy, man. We are just here to ask you for something,” Elgin replied as he turned on the video and tossed the phone to one of his warriors, who caught it and began recording us.
It felt like a restraint without any visible chains around my shackles. They were limiting my wolf for some reason, and it could not be good.
“Now what is it that you want? We have nothing that should be enough for your greedy soul,” Baxter told him, standing tall in front of him.
“Well, we want to interrogate Madeline alone,” Elgin muttered.
I tilted my head, trying to understand what this interrogation could be about.
“No, you are not interrogating her alone,” Baxter snapped, pressing on the word alone. “You will speak with her in my presence,” he demanded, pointing at his chest.
Elgin and Graham exchanged a glance before they started laughing.
“What makes you think you still have the power to make demands?” Graham murmured as he stretched out on the couch.
His eyes stayed on me, making me uncomfortable.
“The fact that you are standing in my house and demanding to speak with my wife,” Baxter retorted. The confidence in his voice was mixed with anger and frustration.
“Aren’t you a little too cocky to think she is yours now?” Elgin remarked as he rose from the chair.
The two of them stood face to face, making fear grip me.
“What are you interrogating me for?” I asked as I stepped in, reached for Baxter, and gently held his arm. I pulled him back so I could place myself between them.
The moment my fingers tangled with Baxter’s, I noticed Graham and Elgin lock their eyes on our contact. When they spoke again, their tone had changed.
“ If you do not leave this place immediately to let us speak with her alone, Baxter, we will take stricter measures,” Elgin commanded.
Baxter began to clench his fist, and I felt it in my hand.
“Get out,” Baxter warned as he placed his hands on my waist and moved me aside so he stood directly in front of Elgin again.
“Well, it seems like you are underestimating our strength,” Elgin whispered.

He suddenly tried to shove Baxter, but he clearly did not expect Baxter to still have that much strength after being dethroned.
Elgin had not even braced himself.
The moment he pushed him, Baxter did not move. Instead, Elgin was thrown backward and landed on the couch. 1
“Fucking bastard,” Elgin cursed, furious at his own failure.
He got up, looking deeply offended, and then, before I could react, Graham joined him as the two of them lunged
at Baxter.
