Chapter 20
20 – Breaking Her Heart Again
Baxter:
She seemed to be in a kind of pain I could hardly watch her in. She was looking at me with those beautiful, helpless eyes, wanting to know what was happening to her.
When I told her it was a transition, she looked even more surprised and scared. Her green eyes were shining with
tears.
At that moment, I forgot all the anger inside me. I couldn’t leave her like that. She needed my help. I rushed over, grabbed her arm, pulled her up, and carried her in my arms.
As I sped out of her mansion and put her in my car, I called my warriors and told them to come and take care of the place. I didn’t trust the useless guards she had brought with her.
As I drove her away into the woods, I felt her pain every time she groaned and cried when a bone broke. So, she had lied when she said she’d found her wolf before.
If that had been true, the first transition would’ve happened immediately, but it was happening now.
When we reached the woods, I carried her out and set her down. Thankfully, I knew how to control a peaceful transition, but for her, because her wolf was coming out after so long and hadn’t surfaced at an early age, she was still going to be in pain. I did my best to assist her.
“Okay, Madeline, you need to focus on something else and not on the pain,” I told her as I knelt in front of her.
“How the fuck do you expect me to focus on something else when every fucking bone in my body is breaking?” she screamed at me, making me lower my head before shaking it.
She had never raised her voice at me before, and it used to annoy me so much.
I remembered when we were friends, I would tell her to scream, to shout, to fight for her rights, but she would always show up with that sad pout on her lips.
It hurt me every time, and I had vowed to protect her. I don’t know what happened along the way. Actually, I guess I do.
“Ah!” she screamed, snapping me back to reality.
“ You’re no help!” she shouted again, and I grunted in frustration.
“ Look at me,” I ordered, snapping my fingers in front of her face. The look she gave me almost scared me.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m not your enemy,” I groaned back.
“Okay, let’s talk about something else. About your babies p>
As soon as I said that, she grimaced even harder.
“I don’t want to talk about my babies in front of you–or with you,” she hissed, making it clear that wasn’t going to work. The more I talked about her children, the angrier she became.
“Okay, fine. Don’t, ” I muttered, realizing she would only resist more.
“Let’s talk about our friendship,” I said, and the moment I did, I noticed her snapping her head up again. Her gaze was silent, but it held so much pain.

“That night when I told you I knew someone who could help you with the abortion–I lied.” I spoke softly, meaning every word. I noticed a frown forming on her forehead, and she started to look more interested in the conversation than in her pain.
“But you said you knew someone,” she repeated, echoing the same words I had told her in the past.
“I know I did, but I didn’t know anyone, and I was never going to make you get an abortion, ” I admitted, looking away. It wasn’t easy for me to confess, but here I was, doing it again because she was in pain.
She kept her eyes on my face, studying me closely. Then I cleared my throat and adjusted my knee on the ground.
“ You know, we read your diary where you wrote about having a crush on all of us. Why all of us? ” I pressed, watching her, and noticed she had completely forgotten about her pain at this point.
Even as her canines started to show, her fingernails grew longer, her bones cracked, and she began to turn into something else, she kept staring at my face in confusion, as if trying to understand what exactly I was talking about.
Then she screamed one more time before her body began to convulse. Panic struck me. I reached over and pulled her closer to my chest.
It seemed like she was struggling to transition. Her wolf was ready to come out but suddenly went back, and she couldn’t shift again to her human form without even transitioning into a full wolf.
She just passed out in my arms.
For a while, I didn’t even wake her up. I just sat there, holding her and gently patting her back. Her scent was so mesmerizing that I couldn’t bring myself to pull away from her. But then I had to.
I carried her in my arms, put her back in the car, and drove her home. When I carried her inside and was about to take her to her room to lay her on the bed, I noticed she was starting to wake up. I quickly laid her down.
As I turned to leave, I felt pressure on my hand. I turned slightly and saw her holding it. Her eyes were wide open, fixed on me. She got to her feet with difficulty, and then, without any warning, she came at me, crashing her lips against mine.
I knew what was happening. It was her wolf acting up. She was awake, but her wolf had taken more control over her body. The moment she kissed me, even though it tasted better than anything in the world, I had to stop her.
When I did, I noticed she suddenly realized what she was doing. I didn’t stop her aggressively. I simply didn’t react and gently placed my hands on her elbows to pull her away.
As soon as she fully woke up, she looked at me and then pushed me back.
“What the fuck is wrong with you? Get out of here!” she screamed, pointing toward the door.
I knew she was feeling awkward. She couldn’t admit that she was the one who came at me. I had stopped the kiss because I knew that wasn’t what she wanted at that moment.
And I did not want to take advantage of her condition and enjoy the kiss.
“Get out!” she screamed again, making me roll my eyes as I started to walk away.
Something inside me snapped again, and I had to ruin it just one more time. I turned around, looked her straight in the eye, and said, “Elgin told us he doesn’t want anything to do with the babies p>
As soon as I said that, I saw her gasp. Her jaw clenched as she kept pointing at the door, but a single helpless tear

rolled down her cheek.
I didn’t know if telling her was the right thing to do, but at that moment, it felt like it was. Then I walked out of
her room. 2
