Chapter 30
30–He Is Dating My Half–Sister
Madeline:
“How are you? I’ve been missing you so much. The moment I heard you were coming, I canceled all my meetings and rushed straight to see you,” she uttered happily.
Yuvonne wrapped her arms around him, smiling warmly as she looked at his face.
I noticed a hint of hesitation in Baxter’s posture, probably because he knew what he had done.
“How are you?” he asked awkwardly, struggling even to greet her properly. He must have realized that I had already met her, and it seemed he was caught off guard to see her here.
“I’m fine now that you’re here,” she replied happily.
The more I watched them interact, the more it felt as if my entire body was on fire and my skin had been burned
away.
The only reason for that feeling was simple, he used to be my best friend.
I remembered how my sister used to get annoyed that he was closer to me than to her. He would often come home angry with her whenever she was rude to me.
But suddenly, he was nothing to me and her boyfriend instead?
I swallowed hard, trying to hold back my tears as I remembered the night he slept with me and then shut me out
of his life.
In that serious moment, I started to wonder if something was wrong with me. Why else would everyone be fine being around others but not me?
With Baxter, it was even more confusing. It’s not like my sister came from a different background, she was just like me, an omega.
So what made her so special that he chose her over me?
“Anyway, let’s start dinner. The kids seem really tired,” Alpha Ron said, breaking his attention to the dinner as he arrived again.
I noticed Baxter looking at me. I didn’t understand how things had turned out this way. But I was willing to hide my emotions and act like I wasn’t bothered, even though I was.
We all sat at the dinner table, and I spent most of the time feeding my kids. Although they were well–trained to eat on their own, I insisted on doing it that day, and they seemed happy about it.
My intention was different. I was avoiding eating too much myself because I couldn’t stomach food.
Baxter sat very close to Yuvonne, and every once in a while, she would giggle and nudge him, even though he hadn’t said a word.
She was the only one making jokes and getting close to him, but I guess it didn’t matter. He had chosen her, so even if he didn’t act like he was enjoying her company now, he had clearly enjoyed it in the past few years.
Halfway through dinner, I received a text from Baxter. I glanced up just in time to see him sneakily put his phone down while Lady Riva was busy talking with Yuvonne.
From their conversation, I gathered that Baxter had helped Yuvonne at the pack house workshop.

Her main job was to enter the daily number of weapons being made, a task given only to trusted people.
I didn’t know why I felt so jealous. Probably because he hadn’t done the same for me in the past, the one who was his best friend.
I realized I was never special to begin with. I swallowed and picked up my phone to check his message.
Baxter: What’s up? You’re not eating.
I read his message, feeling anger rise through me. Instead of letting it go, I replied.
Me: You don’t have to worry about me. I’m fine.
I noticed him instantly pick up his phone, but it was on silent. Of course, why would he let his beautiful Yuvonne know he was texting me?
Baxter: Is something bothering you?
I read his next text.
Then, in one plain, simple answer, I replied.
Me: Yes. It’s you.
That was all I said as I set my phone down.
I watched him frown and type something quickly. But I didn’t respond. I watched him try again and again. Each time, I ignored him, and eventually, he gave up.
Lady Riva kept asking if I was enjoying myself. I reassured her that I was, but she kept insisting I was too quiet and that I never spoke about the sickness of the children with her.
I didn’t know if she was really that clueless, but she should have known that ever since my sister arrived, my entire mood had shifted.
Still, I guess it didn’t matter.
She was either too naïve or just loved my sister a little too much, because they seemed to share a great connection. And thanks to Baxter, that bond had grown stronger.
“Madeline, how about we meet again? Why don’t you come home? You know, it’s not okay to stay upset with your parents for too long,” Yuvonne suggested, her tone dripping with manipulation, just as I had expected.
She knew how much our parents despised me, yet she had the nerve to invite me back to the same house where I’d been bullied endlessly.
That apology she gave me had been completely fake. She knew she was about to crush me with the truth about her and Baxter.
my face.
“I’ll see. I really don’t have time,” I replied, aware that Lady Riva and Alpha Ron were both watching my
“It’s okay, you can always make time for your parents. They worked hard to send you to school and take care of you,” Lady Riva insisted, repeating the same rumors my mother had spread years ago.
She’d painted herself as this loving stepmother desperate to help me study more. And because I hadn’t been able to defend myself back then, everyone believed her version of the truth.
“Yeah, sure, I’ll see,” I repeated, hoping they would just leave me alone at this point.

Just as it was time for me to leave, I noticed Baxter coming out carrying Bodhi on his shoulder. Bodhi seemed to be fast asleep.
He must have dozed off while waiting for us to leave the living room after dinner. Something about it made my heart stop. Bodhi’s eyes were completely closed.
Gina and Elara walked beside Baxter. Leaving everyone mid– conversation, 1 lunged at him and snatched my son from his arms. I’m sure everyone noticed how aggressively I did that.
“I’ll go home now,” I said, sprinting off with my two babies and Bodhi in my arms. I no longer cared who saw my behavior.
But Baxter did. He came right after me, complaining, “What the heck was that p>
I was putting my son in the backseat and fastening his seatbelt when I turned to face him.
“Exactly. What the fuck was that, Baxter?” The moment I asked, my eyes began to well up, and I noticed his frown deepen. He probably realized what I meant.
