488–The Alpha Crossing The Boundary
Madeline:
All the way home, my mind was consumed with Yuvonne. The cases against her were not good.
But why did she think everyone would look at her with disgust? Why did she decide to take her own life when she was heavily pregnant?
Those thoughts would not leave me.
Then I remembered that I had to go to Byron’s pack in the morning to give the medicine. That was not the problem.
The problem was last time, when I went to Elgin’s pack, Elara had run around the house crying and throwing such a severe tantrum that she fell and hit her head.
It was a minor injury, but it made something clear to me. If I did not give my children time, they would react aggressively.
There was a rapid change in them. They had lost too much, too quickly.
Of course they needed therapy. Everything in their lives had turned upside down.
When I returned home after delivering the medicine, I saw someone outside the gate wearing a brown jacket and holding balloons and toys. Byron was walking into the house.
For a moment, I was confused. Then I hurried after him.
As soon as I entered, I saw my children sitting on the couch while Lord Jonah handed them the toys.
Byron was a good man, but I had noticed he was not naturally playful with children. Still, he made an effort.
“Byron,” I called out.
He jumped slightly, almost like a startled frog, then turned around, quickly fixing his hair and straightening his jacket.
“I thought you would be home,” he said with a smile.
“No, I went to deliver the medicine,” I replied.
“What are you doing here? I was coming to your pack tomorrow anyway.”
As I said that, I noticed Elara and Bodhi glance at each other and then look at me.
“I heard your sister had a fall,” Byron explained. “And since Elara fell that day, I thought I would come see the children and offer my condolences to your sister.”
He spoke in a composed manner. I simply smiled at him.
Lord Jonah remained quiet, but his attitude was not hostile. Of course, he knew Byron had found help for his son before.
“Thank you for all this,” I told Byron.
“If you want, give me the medicine. I can put it in the children’s eyes if you cannot come,” he offered.
My children immediately looked at me again.
“No, I will go myself,” I said. “And if you do not mind, I will bring my children to your pack.”
The moment I said that, my children began clapping happily. Chocolate was smeared across their faces. They were eating so messily that I almost laughed.
“Of course I do not mind,” Byron replied warmly. “You are always welcome at my pack.”

As he said that, he glanced at Lord Jonah. Lord Jonah gave him a warning look. He was speaking to his daughter–in–law, so of course he was protective. (1)
“I mean all of you are welcome,” Byron corrected himself.
He then gestured for me to step outside.
“You all eat,” I said to the children. “I will be right back.”
Byron had brought pizza and burgers, and my children had attacked the food eagerly.
Once we stepped outside, I faced him.
“You wanted to say something?” I asked.
Byron carefully began rubbing the back of his neck. He looked around before speaking in a low voice.
“Your sister attempted suicide,” he said quietly and I lowered my head.
“I am not judging,” he continued. “Some news reached me.”
I tilted my head and looked at him.
“What news?” I asked.
“That there were some cases against Yuvonne,” he replied. “They are still deciding whether to pursue them.”
He held my gaze as he delivered and I sighed tiredly.
“If you need my help, tell me. I will put in my full effort to protect Yuvonne. She is your- I mean, she is Ron’s wife. We alphas should look out for each other.”
He stumbled slightly over his words at the end.
I gave him a small smile.
“There was something else I wanted to ask you,” Byron began, then stopped himself and looked around.
“Go ahead,” I replied calmly and confidently. “What is it?”
“Did you come here with Graham?” he asked.
At that, I tilted my head and raised one eyebrow.
“Why would you think I came with Graham?” I asked.
My hands were clasped behind my back. My calm demeanor showed I was not lying.
“That is strange,” Byron said slowly. “I saw Graham in the pack.”
I stared at him in shock.
“How is that possible? I am coming straight from his pack. He was there.”
The words sounded confusing even to me as I said them.
“Maybe that is the case,” Byron answered thoughtfully. “I am not sure. I just know I saw him. Perhaps he drove here before you. Other drivers get stopped at checkpoints, but an Alpha’s car is never stopped.”
He delivered the information smoothly. My ears sharpened at that.
“Let me know if you need anything,” he added, then turned to leave.

I remained standing there, lost in confusion.
What could Graham be doing in this pack? Had he come to push the cases against Yuvonne?
A sudden urge rose inside me to check on Yuvonne.
I walked back inside and told Lord Jonah to look after the children because I would return shortly.
I knew Elara and Bodhi’s mood had already shifted, but I had made up my mind. I needed to find out why Graham was here.
