446 –A New Safe Home
Madeline:
I am not someone who likes to make people sit at my feet or apologize like that.
I am not someone who would want an elderly woman to be disgraced like this in front of everyone. But it was important.
These people had done it too many times for me to just let it go, because every time I forgave them without consequences, they came back worse, thinking they would not face any punishment.
So this time, it was important for me to show them that next time they needed to think twice, because I would go just as low as them for revenge.
So when Kaylee sat at my feet, I did not stop there. I made her touch my foot and apologize to me.
“It’s okay, Kaylee. You’re pregnant. Don’t bow down like that. I never wanted you to sit at my feet and apologize. I just wanted you to understand what you did wrong and never do that to another woman, a mother, a wife, or a daughter,” I whispered in a dramatic tone because I could tell it got on Kaylee’s nerves.
It was obvious. She did not even try to hide it.
She started to rise.
“She’s so nice. Even after what they did to her, she doesn’t want them at her feet. Who even does that?” one of the women shouted in my support.
This was how these people behaved. They chose to ignore what was right in front of them.
It was obvious that I could have stopped Kaylee and Lady Abigail when they were bowing, but I waited until after they had done it.
Of course, these people were blind, and I knew that.
“Thank you so much. I’m not nice. I’m just doing what others should do too. Be kind to each other and don’t force someone to kneel at your feet. That is all,” I whispered softly, still sounding dramatic.
Kaylee slowly rose from my feet and began to step away. I noticed tears in her eyes, but she did not lift her head to look at me.
Her chin was pressed to her chest. That was how low she had lowered her head.
“Anyway, we should focus on helping the children p>
Now that they had apologized, I shifted to business. Honestly, I did not know why they thought I would not help the children, but at least it worked in my favor.
I was always going to help the children, whether they apologized or not.
After that, everything was sorted. Lady Abigail and Kaylee left, though, with Lady Abigail leaving a little later.
She stayed to make sure nobody thought she was bitter about apologizing. She kept her posture straight but did not look at me the whole time.
Once she was gone, I was able to focus on the children.
After everything was done, even Lord Eldon left. I noticed their cars were filled with gifts and other items.

“Here are the keys.” Lord William approached me after everyone else had left. “What keys?” I asked, taking them from his hand to look at them.
“Your house keys. You will be staying in the pack p>
The moment he said that, tears rushed into my eyes. It was such a normal thing, a basic necessity, yet it had been made so impossible for me, my husband, and my children to have. When I started to cry, he placed his hand on my head and gently patted it.
“What is it? Why are you crying now? Are you not happy?” he asked softly, speaking to me like more than just a council leader, almost like a father figure. I
“I just miss Baxter. Imagine how much relief he would feel knowing we have a home, a safe place where our children are secure,” I said, wiping my cheeks with the back of my hand.
“Now I understand why Baxter gave up the crown for you p>
His comment hit me hard. I watched him smile at me.
“It really is a blessing to have a mate who is so loyal that even when he is not there, and even when she is surrounded by many alphas trying to pursue her, all she does is think about him the moment she feels a little hope of happiness p>
When he finished, I smiled to myself and shook my head.
“Then you have no idea how lucky I am that Baxter is the one I married p>
I meant that my life could have gone terribly wrong if I had not gone through all the humiliation and rejection from Graham and Elgin.
If I had ended up with them, I would never have known how cruel they could be.
“Anyway, I sent cars to pick up your in–laws, your children, and the rest of your belongings. You do not have to go back there yourself. They already packed everything they needed. They will be here in a few minutes. How about I show you your home?” Lord William offered, gesturing toward the car.
I slipped into the car right away, thinking about how my children would react to having a safe home, other children around, parks, and basic necessities.
It made me tear up again as I remembered my life in the human world. At least my children had everything there.
But if I had not come back, I would never have been with Baxter.
That thought shifted when I remembered Gina and how she was not here with me because I had returned to the cursed land of werewolves.
