Chapter 132
132 – Into The Well
Madeline:
Panic surged through me. We were running around looking for my children, and during that time I felt myself slipping.
If Baxter had not been with me, I would have completely lost control.
I kept crying out for them, screaming, even falling to the ground.
Baxter had to turn back and hold on to me to comfort me.
Then Lena finally decided to do something about it.
“ I can tell where they are,” she uttered.
I stopped. My hand stretched out toward Baxter, stopping him because I had been holding his hand. He turned to look at me, waiting for me to speak.
“Really? Can you find them?” I asked her.
“Isn’t that what I said?” she snapped, and I clenched my jaw.
“Lena says she knows where they are,” I remarked to Baxter, informing him of my wolf.
“Okay, tell her. Tell her to take us there,” Baxter insisted.
“You heard him. Please take us to our children,” I requested.
She told me to follow her. I gave her some control, and we started moving along the path she guided us toward.
I guessed she connected well with the children, so she could sense them.
She said something was terribly wrong, and that the energy was too strong for her to ignore.
She led us to a large cleared area with a big well in the distance under a large tree.
That was when I saw my children standing next to the well.
“Kids, step away from it!” I screamed, waving my arms to get their attention. They were still far from us.
“We need to hurry,” I stated.
Baxter was already prepared to sprint. We both began running, but halfway through we witnessed the most horrifying sight I knew I would never forget.
Elara stepped back, placed one hand on her brother’s back and one on her sister’s, then pushed them into the well right before our eyes.
“No, Elara!” I screamed.
For a moment, I dropped to my knees, but Baxter kept going, and I forced myself up, rushing after her.
Baxter quickly pulled off his shirt before reaching the well, and the moment he did, I saw him jump straight into it without wasting a second.
I ran toward Elara, grabbed her, and pulled her back.

“Elara, what did you do?” I screamed, shaking her by the arm.
“What? I told you I don’t like them. Why didn’t you take me seriously when I told you to get rid of them?” she replied in a voice that sounded almost demonic, and my heart pounded in my temples.
Everything happened quickly. I pushed Elara back to keep her from jumping after them.
At the same time, I reached the well, and I noticed Elara coming toward me, chuckling.
I held her tightly from behind to keep her secure while I looked down.
“ I hope they drown.” As soon as Elara said that, I turned her around and grunted at her.
“No. Listen to me. They are your siblings. You will not speak of them like that,” I nearly screamed.
I saw her face twist into a scowl.
“Don’t make me hate you too,” she remarked in a flat tone. I had never seen my children act this way, and it terrified me.
“Elara, what is going on with you? Please tell me,” I insisted, shaking her a little as tears kept falling because two of my children were inside the well with one of my mates.
Then a voice rose from inside the well, and my body lost control. I still held on to Elara while leaning forward to look down.
Baxter surfaced with a loud gasp. His arms stayed wrapped around both Gina and Bodhi, keeping their heads above the water.
Seeing them gave me a moment of relief, but the danger was far from over.
The well was deeper than I had expected, and the stone walls looked damp and uneven.
I leaned forward as much as I could, gripping the rough edge while keeping an eye on Elara so she would not attempt anything reckless.
“Baxter, are they breathing?” I called out. My voice cracked as I tried to steady my hands.
“They are. They swallowed some water, but they’re breathing,” he replied, tightening his hold on them while he
treaded the cold water.
The walls had patches where the stones stuck out, forming a narrow path upward. They looked slippery but stable enough to use.
“ Is there anything you can use to climb?” I questioned, scanning the stonework for a usable route.
By now, Elara had stopped struggling. Her body went slack in my arms, almost as if she had fallen asleep.
My attention shifted to her, and my eyes widened when she suddenly passed out.
“Elara, Elara!” I panicked, lowering her gently and touching her cheek in an attempt to wake her.
“What is going on?” Baxter yelled from below.
“ Elara passed out!” I shouted back.
“Is she breathing fine?” he continued to ask.
“Yes, she seems fine, just sleeping,” I replied.

“Then it’s fine. Let’s focus on these two first,” he urged, and I forced myself to stay focused.
It was becoming harder to manage all three children at once.
I returned to the edge of the well, making sure Elara lay safely on the ground.
“Okay, I can see a ledge near my left side,” Baxter stated. “If I lift Bodhi up first, can you grab him p>
“Yes, give him to me,” I told him, stretching my arm as far as possible.
Thankfully, the water level was high enough to reach.
If the well had been dry, it would have been nearly impossible for Baxter to climb with both children.
Baxter pushed Bodhi upward, guiding him toward me. I reached until my shoulder throbbed and finally caught Bodhi under his armpits.
Water streamed off him as I pulled him up and rested his weight on the ground before easing him down.
He coughed, but his chest rose with each breath.
I wanted to hold him and wake him, but Gina was still inside with Baxter.
“Baxter, I got Bodhi. Now give me Gina,” I instructed.
