Chapter 434
434 – The Heavenly Angel
Byron:
Her voice was soft, and her eyes were gentle and clear.
I knew she would not accept it, but it was worth a try.
I hoped that when she saw the room, she would realize I truly wanted her to come and stay with us.
“Madeline, you don’t have to worry about it. I don’t want to do business with those leaders either. It’s okay. You can come here. Together we can form a different community, one that does not need the leaders and alphas of other packs to rule us,” I explained, but she gave me another small smile. (1)
“Please drop me at the cabin if you can. Elara is doing well too. I would like to go home so that Bodhi gets to be around me as well. Otherwise he will fall sick too, and then Lord Jonah will be worried as well.” 1
She started listing all the people she cared about, and not once did she mention herself.
I did not understand how a woman like her had been subjected to so much pain and humiliation.
She did not deserve it.
“Okay, I will drop you myself,” I whispered, gesturing to Sean and giving him a look.
He already knew what he had to do.
If she did not want my help, then she would not know that I was helping her from now on.
But I had already planned a way to help her. 13
“Um, don’t you want to take a rest too?” I asked her in the gentlest voice.
There was something about her mannerisms that made me feel I had to be respectful toward her.
“No, I would like to go back home. I can only rest when I am with Bodhi and Elara,” she whispered softly.
This woman had been through so fucking much, and she was still very young.

It hurt me to see that many men who were supposed to take care of her had pushed her to the point where she was so alone right now.
“Okay, um, Sean, can you please go and get Elara for her?” I asked him in a calm voice, even though he could tell I was upset with him.
I did not want her to hear all that.
And even though I knew that even if she had not heard it, she would not have agreed to it, it was still a chance.
Imagine hearing people say they are scared to keep you in their packs because they are afraid you will get them banned.
Some things are not meant to be spoken out loud.
And Sean was going to learn that today.
I mean, later.
In the next few minutes, Sean did what I asked him to do and prepared a whole carton of supplies for the children

and one week’s worth of groceries for Madeline, because I planned to visit her often.
Nobody could stop me from doing that.
Once Madeline sat in the car with me, she turned her head to look at the boxes in the back seat.
“Don’t say anything. I’m not going to listen,” I told her.
Thankfully, she did not argue after that. The drive was completely silent, but I noticed a few things along the way. Some people in the pack were glued to their phones, and some older people stood near the glass doors of shops, watching the TVs inside.
Something scandalous was going on, that much was clear, but at the moment I was focused on Madeline.
When I reached the main trail, I decided not to get out right away, and she noticed.
She stayed seated, turning to look at me in confusion.
“I got you something,” I whispered as I opened the dashboard.
Inside a plastic bag was a sweater.
I did not even have to say anything. She recognized it immediately.
She took it from me and stared at it before looking up at me.
“This is Gina’s sweater,” she whispered as her eyes filled with tears.
“Yeah, I snuck into Ron’s pack and got it while you were getting stitched,” I replied with a small smile.
Watching her look at it broke me.
She gazed at it as if she were looking at her daughter, then wrapped her arms around it and held it tightly.
Tears started to spill from her eyes.
At that moment, I wanted to hug her, but I was afraid of her reputation.
I would not do anything that could cause her any disrespect or discomfort.

“My baby, my daughter, I’m so sorry your mother couldn’t save you,” she cried.
For the first time, I felt the urge to cry with her.
I was not someone who cried.
I do not remember the last time I genuinely cried until now.
I turned my face to the side as tears began to roll down my eyes.
She cried for a few minutes before she sniffled.
“Thank you so much, Byron. I don’t know what it is, but you have come into my life like an angel. Thank you so much,” she said.
With that, she gently placed her hand on the back of my hand and gave it a squeeze.
It was such a simple, platonic gesture, but it filled my heart with a warmth I could not explain.
Then she stepped out of the car.

Another car pulled up behind me with a few of the warriors inside.
They rushed out to take the supplies from my car and followed Madeline inside while I stayed frozen, as if I had been struck by her gentle touch.
