Madeline:
I rushed out and saw Graham holding a chocolate for a Bodhi that he did not accept.
“How the heck did you get in?” I asked loudly as I reached the living room, grabbed my son, and pulled him behind me.
The gesture caught Graham’s eyes, and he fixated on it.
He calmly cleared his throat and adjusted his jacket, placing his hands on his waist after he put the chocolates down on the table.
“I did not sneak in like a thief or something. I saw the door open, so I came in,” he explained in a sassy tone. 3 He sounded more arrogant than guilty.
Seeing him again and standing under the same roof as him, while having my power and knowing I was not going to be blackmailed by him, felt empowering.
It also made me want to walk over and slap him a few times.
Every time I saw him and his pathetic friend Elgin, I thought about everything they had put me through.
It was not easy to swallow.
“Well, that is practically trespassing,” I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
“Well then, my apologies for ‘trespassing,“” he said, using air quotes around the word trespassing with clear emphasis before he stretched his neck and cleared his throat again.
This time, I knew he had something to say.
He was about to start talking and make a long plea.
“I was asked by the council to come here today and assist you with the sickness investigation,” he explained. 1
As soon as he said that, I shook my head in disbelief.
“So they are still letting you near me and my family?” I asked, giving him a blunt look that made him lower his head as if calming his nerves before he looked back at me with a fake smile.
“Let’s not talk about what happened in the past. There are children who are suffering, and I have only come here for their sake,” Graham replied, speaking like an almighty alpha who had done no wrong and who had only come because he cared about the people and the children of his pack.
“ I’m pretty sure you knew they were sick, even last time when you pushed me into deciding that I would not help anyone,” I told him, reminding him how things escalated the last time he asked me to come to his mansion, where we were supposedly going to work on the sickness.
He looked at my children, then shifted his weight onto one leg and looked uncomfortable.
Thank goodness he could get uncomfortable too.

That was such a rare sight.
“Anyway, it’s not like you did not take a heavy price from my wife, so let’s talk about the case, shall we?” he continued, straightening his posture and hinting that he had taken notice of what had happened with his wife. 2 “Mummy, when will this uncle go?” Elara asked, gently tugging on my shirt.
“Kids, go inside and play with your toys, okay? We will finish the work, and then the negative energy will leave our home,” I told them. (1
While I spoke with my children, Graham stood in his spot like a cocky alpha.
When I added the last comment, I saw his mood sour.
There was not much he could do about it, so he let it slide.
As my kids walked away, I noticed Graham looking around, and I grew anxious.
I moved to the couch, grabbed my bag with the new files, and picked up my laptop, which had finally been returned after being confiscated.
I gestured for him to come outside.
“We will talk about it in the garden,” I told him, pointing toward the garden bench and table.
He followed behind me.
While I placed the laptop and the files on the table, he had already settled down.
His eyes lingered on me a little too long.
They made me uncomfortable, but I did not show it.
After a while, he finally spoke.
“We are not enemies,” he said, and my hands froze.
I thought about giving him a harsh response, but I pulled my hand back and went back to work.
“But this should stop now. The rumors are getting out of hand. There are people online saying all sorts of things, ” he continued.
As he rambled on, I looked up and laughed.
“So that is why you do not want us to be enemies, because your actions are finally catching up with you, and it is not easy to watch, is it?” I replied, folding my arms across my chest and planting my foot firmly on the ground.
He stared at me for a moment, then shook his head with confidence.
“No. I am not that bad of a person. I know why you think I am, but trust me,” he started to explain.
I raised my hand to silence him p>
I really did not want to talk about whether he was a good person or not.

I did not care anymore.
Since he noticed, he shifted back to the main subject.
“My wife is pregnant, and she is suffering from these rumors, especially the ones with videos of her at your feet and apologizing,” he said softly while I sat down and folded my arms across my chest. 1
“So what do you think I should do? Make an announcement or a video asking people to respect her? Do you want me to stand up for someone who holds so much grudge against me that she would not waste a second taking a dig at me when she sees me?” I asked.
As I finished speaking, I watched his face for a reaction.
His words stayed in his mouth when someone else spoke up.
From across the fence, a voice called out.
“Why is this Alpha allowed in her home? Is he not dangerous?” 2
The comment made both of us snap our heads toward the family who had been taking a stroll and spotted Graham with me.
