Chapter 490
489–Silencing Her
Graham:
After meeting Elgin in the morning, I returned home and ran into Madeline. That was when I told her about the cases against Yuvonne.
From her face, it was clear she was deeply worried about Yuvonne. I had assumed Madeline had stepped back and that Yuvonne had been the one trying to win her over.
But I realized I had made a serious mistake. If Madeline found out that Yuvonne’s condition was because of me, she would never forgive me.
I was already disturbed after seeing that happiness on Elgin’s face earlier. I did not want to make another mistake.
So as soon as Madeline left for her house, I took my private jet. I informed the border that I would be arriving by jet.
I reached quickly. The question now was whether Yuvonne was awake.
When I arrived at the hospital, they told me she still had not regained consciousness.
After waiting for some time, my anxiety reached another level. My wife began blowing up my phone.
“What is the matter, Kaylee?” I hissed into the phone, clenching my teeth.
I kept my voice low so no one around me would hear. But Kaylee was making everything difficult.
“Where are you?” she demanded. “You are with her, aren’t you?”
She had started her broken record again.
“What is your problem?” I snapped quietly. “I am not there. You saw she went to a different house.”
“I know you took the jet and reached there before her,” Kaylee shouted. “What game are you playing? Do you think I am stupid?”
One of my fists had clenched tightly while the other gripped the phone. I was afraid I might smash it in anger.
There were many people around. An Alpha behaving like that would not look right. So I forced myself to stay silent.
“Kaylee, I will talk when I get home,” I replied, trying to cool down.
“Why? After what?” she shot back. “After sleeping with her?”
She repeated the same accusation.
“What is wrong with you?” My voice rose slightly, and several people turned to look at me.
I stepped aside into a corner.
“Why do you think I run to Madeline the moment I get free?” I demanded.
“Because that is exactly what you do,” she cried. “Why do you keep going there? What can she even give you? I am giving you sons. Look at Silver. She gave only two daughters and cheated. Look at Yuvonne. She could not give her Alpha anything. She even lost her child.”
Kaylee’s voice cracked.
“I am the only Luna from a good family, the daughter of a high rank, and I am giving you sons. And still you treat me like this.”
She began listing everything that made her feel superior.

And for a moment, I felt she was not entirely wrong. Yuvonne had lost her child. Silver had given only daughters and betrayed her Alpha. 1
“Kaylee, listen to me,” I said firmly. “I will talk when I get home. Right now I cannot listen to this.”
I spoke harshly, even though part of me wanted to calm her gently. But she was pushing me, and I was already under pressure.
If Madeline reached before me and Yuvonne woke up, I would lose my chance to speak to her.
“I know what you are doing,” Kaylee sobbed. “You have put Madeline on a pedestal. Whenever she looks at me, she smirks. She makes me feel small because of you.”
Something in me snapped.
“Oh, really?” I shot back. “At least she is better than you. She does not nag me. No matter how many problems happen, she swallows her anger instead of repeating how much she dislikes me or reminding me I left her.”
My anger kept rising.
“And as for sleeping with her,” I continued recklessly, “yes, I will. If I get the chance, I will sleep with her a thousand times.”
I do not know why I said all that. I cut the call on her face.
“Who does Kaylee think she is? That giving birth to a son means she can control an Alpha?”
I spoke to my wolf, trying to steady my breathing.
Just then, a doctor approached me.
“Yuvonne has regained consciousness,” he informed me.
The moment he said that, I shoved my phone into my pocket, switched it off, and headed straight toward Yuvonne’s room.
As soon as I entered her room, I saw Yuvonne creating a scene. She was crying uncontrollably, calling out for her child.
“My baby, my baby,” she sobbed.
Tears streamed nonstop from her eyes.
The moment I stepped inside, I gestured with my hand for the warriors and the doctors to leave us alone. She was so consumed by grief that she did not even notice I had entered.
When everyone finally left and she lifted her head, her expression hardened the second she saw me.
“You killed my child,” she accused.
She had barely finished the sentence when I moved quickly and pressed my hand over her mouth, silencing her.
“Sshhh!!” I brought a finger to my own lips and shushed her.
“Say one more word,” I warned coldly, “and I will kill your husband the same way. I will destroy your reputation as well. Do you understand?”
I stared at her.
She swallowed, and fresh tears spilled from her eyes.
As soon as I removed my hand, her jaw tightened.
“What worse can you possibly do to me?” she shot back.
The moment she said that, I realized I had pushed her too far. (2)

Still, I was not a fool. Everything I had done was calculated.
“Really?” I replied quietly. “Maybe I should send your husband that video of you giving me a blowjob.” 1
The moment the words left my mouth, I saw her breathing falter. The color drained from her face. 1
It was as if life had left her eyes.
