Chapter 486
486–Yuvonne Is In Trouble
Madeline:
When Graham came home and told me about another case, my heart nearly stopped.
I began to feel that this might have been the recent case that pushed Yuvonne over the edge. I quietly walked into the garden and sat down.
Graham signaled one of his warriors to bring the files. He placed them on the table in front of me.
“I truly had no idea that Yuvonne was behind all of this.”
Graham paused as he spread the papers out.
“For the past few days, a lot of news has been spreading against us. The council warned us that it is not acceptable for someone to speak so openly about us,” he explained.
He hesitated, then added, “Usually, even if mistakes were made by alphas, they were covered up. But now different kinds of conspiracies are being created. One of them even claimed that Elgin, you, and Silver intended to do something together that night.”
I raised my hand and gestured for him to stop.
“That conspiracy was not written by a reporter. It was written by a pack member. When such accusations surface, they plant a thousand doubts in people’s minds,” I replied firmly.
I felt that somewhere along the way, Graham had begun to believe that every accusation against them was false, that they were completely innocent and everyone else was plotting against them.
“You are right,” he conceded quietly.
“Whatever it was, it began with that picture of Silver that was circulated. It was highly inappropriate. She has daughters, and they have stopped going to school because people keep harassing them,” he continued. 1
“All of this created tension. Eventually, it was decided that an investigation would begin.”
Graham continued explaining as he opened the file and showed me the reports. He also showed me the court orders that granted them permission to investigate the case.
“Where does Yuvonne fit into all of this?” I asked, studying his face closely.
“Well, it turned out that Yuvonne was the one who had asked Sherry to go after us,” he replied.
As soon as he said that, I frowned and shook my head.
“Before you deny it completely, there are recordings. They were presented to me, and I can show them to you as well,” he said.
He then played the audio files. In them, Yuvonne was openly speaking to Sherry about ruining their reputation and spreading news about their actions.
Hlistened to the audios in silence and lowered my head Graham stayed quiet, waiting for my response.
“I understand she was caught in a conspiracy, but all this time, not once did she mention making up a lie,” I muttered, nockling because I knew it did not matter.
Even conspiring against an alpha to ruin his reputation was enough
“What will happen to her mother now?” I asked Graham, referring to my once so called stepmother.
“They’re going to throw her in prison,” he replied

As soon as he spoke, I covered my face with my hands, thinking of Yuvonne. If another person goes to jail because of her, she will not even want to wake up again.
“I don’t think I should be talking to you about this case,” I continued, then paused and drew in a deep breath. “Because, well… you’re going to want to pursue her, and I’ll be on her side trying to save her.”
I bit the inside of my cheek as I finished.
“Has she woken up?” he inquired, and I shook my head.
“Not yet,” I answered. “Anyway, I’ll be leaving now.”
As I began to rise, I caught him looking at me with hopeful eyes.
“I can drop you home,” he offered. (1)
I lifted my hand to stop him.
“It’s daytime. I’ll be fine taking a cab,” I assured him, then stood fully.
As I walked away, I noticed Kaylee standing by the window, staring outside.
Something about her gaze felt strange. She had been watching me in a way that sent chills down my spine.
I walked away and waited by the road. Thankfully, Graham did not come out after me.
The moment he moved to follow, I heard Kaylee call his name and tell him that Lord Eldon was waiting inside.
I expected my cab to arrive so I could go home peacefully. But of course, that was not going to happen as long as Kaylee was alive.
“So your husband is away for a while, and you decided the right thing to do was jump onto someone else’s husband?” Kaylee remarked, and I let out a quiet chuckle without turning to face her.
“I’m speaking to you,” she added.
I ignored her again.
“Did you sleep with my husband that night?” she demanded.
The bluntness of her question made me turn toward her. I studied her face.
Raw emotion was written all over it. It was genuine, as if she truly feared that her husband had been in my bed.
“Even if the world ends and your husband is the last man alive, and I have to sleep with him to survive,” I paused and smiled faintly, “I would rather die.”
She did not look satisfied with my answer, but I did not care.
My cab pulled up beside me.
“Just pray you never have to suffer losing your husband the way I am,” she called out.
I heard her final words as I stepped into the cab and closed the door.
