Chapter 334
Madeline:
In the middle of the night, I grabbed my blanket, got up from the bed, left the room, and then settled onto the same couch where Baxter was lying.
“ What are you doing?” he asked sleepily.
“Stretch your arm out,” I demanded.
He stared at me for a moment and then obeyed, stretching his arm out.
I lay next to his body, my back against his front, and then rested my head on his bicep. I wrapped his arm around me and covered us with the blanket.
For a few seconds, he did not move, but that did not make me get up and leave him. I stayed there, waiting.
“You should not have-” he took a deep breath.
As he began to speak, I hushed him by biting his bicep.
“What the f- oww,” he grunted, complaining.
“Speak more and I’ll bite you more,” I warned him.
Then he started to slide his other hand under the blanket and hugged me tightly from behind.
His muscular arms folded around me, pulling me in and holding me completely while we stayed under the blanket.
“And don’t ever think that you’re my weakness, Baxter,” I whispered. “They had a gun pointed at Bodhi, and trust me, even when they were attacking you, I did not feel like you had become my weakness p>
I whispered that, and then I had to tell him one more important thing.
“Even with my wolf, I could not transition because they came in using power and our loved ones against us. So no, it was not your fault. In fact, you surprised me when you were able to fight them even without a wolf,” I murmured.
His arms tightened around my body even more.
His forearm brushed against my lips as it bent over my shoulder, crossed over my neck and reached toward my underarm. He had his other arm wrapped around my stomach, reaching beneath my right breast.
“The thing is, Baxter, we are each other’s strength, weakness, everything. Don’t limit us to just one thing,” I whispered, my hands running over his hands as I tightened the hug around my body.
“Then promise me you will never let them touch you again, no matter what,” he whispered the same words into
my ear.
Even after telling him so much, he still did not understand that it was not because of his weakness, but because there were other people involved.

However, at that moment, I realized that he just needed comfort, so I said it to him.
“Fine, I will not do it. But promise me you will not take everything onto yourself, and that you will not hide anything from me,” I told him.
The minute I said that, he cupped my breast from underneath and pressed it, almost like his way of asking me to explain myself.
“You didn’t tell me about your wolf, or what they did to you,” I whispered.
“I want to know everything they did to you,” I insisted, turning around.
After forcing his arms to loosen just enough for me to turn, the moment I faced him, I gestured for him to hold me again, to wrap his arms around me the same way he had before. So he did, hugging me extremely tightly.
“They called the Moon Goddess and struck me with her curse,” he whispered. 1
There was barely any space between our bodies or our faces.
“What?” I asked, my hand resting beneath his jaw, my thumb gently tracing along his jawline.
“They killed my wolf, Madeline. My wolf is taking his last breaths inside me,” he whispered, then quickly buried his face in my neck. I realized he was not ready for this conversation yet. 1
However, it worried me.
I remembered the words spoken to me earlier, that once he turned human, he would be sent into the human
world.
If that happened, would I never be able to see him again? Or maybe if my wolf died too, I instantly shut my mouth and closed my eyes.
Then my wolf growled inside me.
“It is okay to love someone, but it is not okay for you to think of me dying, just so that you could be with him,” my wolf hissed before she went silent.
I had no response for her.
I felt extremely guilty for having that thought, but it had occurred to me in a brief moment. Of course, I was not going to act on it, because that would mean my children would be left here alone and also because I loved my wolf too. 1
It was just that being in Baxter’s arms, and the way I watched him suffer today, truly, truly affected my well- being.
I cannot live without Baxter.
That was my truth now.
I woke up to a loud noise, and because so much had happened the night before, both of us were already on edge.
Even Baxter rose from the couch as if he was ready to fight someone, only to find his mother standing next to the table, her face turned away.

“This is just absurd. Do you have no shame at all?” she screamed.
Before Baxter could defend himself, or before I could say anything, I realized she was not even speaking to us.
Yuvonne was standing in front of her, her head lowered, her fingers fidgeting
“And then you said you were traumatized. How can a traumatized woman allow a man to touch her so soon?” she screamed.
She shouted those words like someone who had no understanding of trauma or how things actually work.
