“Let’s go with the rejection,” Elgin continued.
I laughed quietly to myself at my own stupidity.
“Well then, give me my crown back, and we will leave. I will leave with my daughter,” my father demanded, his voice harsh but his request rightful.
However, I watched Elgin lean back and smirk at my father.
“No, you’re not getting the crown back. That’s the price you’re going to pay for your daughter’s infidelity. So take your daughter and get the fuck out of my pack,” Elgin replied.
Elgin finally showed his true colors to my father, and my poor father looked like he had seen a ghost.
“You cannot do this. The crown is something I gave you. So if you’re going to kick my daughter out, you better return my crown to me and my pack as well,” my father almost screamed at him for being so cocky.
My fists started to clench on my knees, but my eyes shifted to Mathew, who was standing right beside Elgin, still working for him. But that was not the worst of it. More was going to happen.
Mathew gave me a small hand gesture as if to let me know he had some news for me, but I answered with a hard blink. It was the kind of gesture that told him we needed to wait.
“Well, it’s not happening, so you are free to leave,” Elgin replied, placing one leg over the other.
Now he looked even more cocky since he realized this was affecting me and my father.
“She’s welcome to leave, but my daughters will stay with me,” he added, as if he had more ways to hurt us.
The moment he said that, I turned to look at my father.
“Have you lost your mind? Are you thinking about separating a mother from her children?” my father yelled. But the look on that asshole’s face was clear evidence that he did not care. The more we got angry, the happier he became.
“I’m only separating a whore from my daughters. I don’t want them to end up like her,” Elgin continued.
I grunted and looked around at the maids, who were staring at me but quickly looked away when I caught them. “You will not speak of my daughter in that tone. She is not some Madeline that you can insult. And if you’re going to call her names, then call yourself one too,” my father shouted as he got up from his seat and pointed at Elgin.
“We don’t need to fight. Please calm down,” Elgin’s blind–with–love mother spoke up.
“Then tell your son to bite his tongue when making comments about my daughter’s character,” my father yelled at her too, which made Elgin get up to face him.
I watched everything. I was going to remember every little thing Elgin said and did to me and my father, and I

was going to make him regret it.
“Well then, here’s what will happen. I’ll take my daughter and her children and leave. And then I will file a complaint. I’ll go all out. I’ll make sure all the things your son has done are brought to the public, so the arrogance he wears is finally taken off,” my father threatened, gesturing for me to get up.
That was when Elgin’s mother looked concerned. She turned to her son and shook her head, while Elgin gestured for Mathew to stop my daughters from coming out of the room.
Mathew looked me straight in the eye, but he listened to Elgin and stepped in front of my children’s room.
“You cannot hold them captive,” my father yelled, shaking with anger.
I slowly got up, fixed my dress, and walked over to my father’s side. When I stood face to face with Elgin, I felt deep regret over my stupid life decisions.
“You know the court will ask who they want to stay with and which parent they choose. I’ll be glad when they tell the court they do not even want to stand on your side,” I said calmly, not yelling or screaming like everyone else in the mansion.
My words carried weight because Elgin knew how much my children hated him at that moment. The look on his face said it all.
“With that being said, I’m not leaving without my daughters. And if you want to call the council, then let’s do it I will not leave my daughters here with a man they are so scared of,” I stated.
I calmly grabbed my phone, held my father’s hand, and walked away from the living room, leaving a fuming Elgin behind.
He had no answers to my statements anymore. His own disgusting behavior had left him standing there helpless, unable to kick me out.
A few minutes later, when I was in my bedroom with my father while he called everyone and told them what Elgin was doing, I stepped out of the room and ran into Mathew.
He followed me into the kitchen, making sure no one was listening. Then he stood in front of me with one hand in his pants pocket while the other rubbed the tip of his index finger against his thumb.
“You said there was something important you wanted to talk about?” I whispered, pretending to pour two glasses of juice, one for me and one for my father.
“Elgin is trying to be sneaky. He has prepared documents saying he has to keep his daughters with him because when they turn eighteen, they will each inherit a pack. This is his way of making sure the council does not let the daughters leave him and stay in his care so he can teach them about the packs over time,” Mathew informed me, causing my heart to skip a beat.
“What the fuck?” I muttered as I turned to look at Mathew.
It was such a scummy attempt from Elgin, but I had to admit he was clever. Still, I was two steps ahead. My anger started to fade, and a smirk appeared on my lips.
“Do you not want to do anything about it?” Mathew asked when I did not say anything right away.

“No. I’m pretty sure he is making the right decisions for his daughters,” I replied before leaving with the juices and a smirk of victory on my face.
