I was not saying it was odd that Graham was so fixated on Madeline and what she was doing with her life, but I was too, to be honest.
I could tell the reason was that every time I looked at her, I was reminded that I had failed as a father.
Then there was all the trouble she had caused us, yet she was fine with Baxter and even defended him.
Those things were never told to us when we were marrying her. She had made it very clear she would not even let us enter the house.
She said we will have to stay with our wives. But now she was keeping Yuvonne in the house with him.
Because there was no way Madeline was letting him touch her at all, and he was just enjoying himself with Yuvonne. Still, something was going on.
They were heading somewhere.
Now, the fact that Madeline had the cure and was not giving it to anyone made me wonder if they were planning to demand something in return.
What if they wanted to come back into their pack, or even stay in Ron’s pack?
That would be a blow to our egos, watching her build a happy life and rub it in our faces that she was fine without us.
Too many things were bothering me, and I needed to sort them out before I lost my mind.
“Okay, what will we say to the others?” I asked Graham, referring to my wife and his wife as I started driving.
Graham turned to look at Hailey to make sure she was not listening
I checked the rearview mirror and noticed she was falling asleep, but not in a sudden way.
This time, she was slowly drifting off.
“We will tell them what we know,” Graham explained. “That they hid a cure from us. And we are not going there after informing the council about it. I will have my father convince the others this is the right thing to do p>
I nodded.
“Fine, but what if they still refuse to give us the cure?” I questioned.
I knew that once we threatened the children or Baxter, there was a chance Madeline would give it up, but I wanted to know what other options we had.
“While we are there, we will interrogate her alone in a bedroom, ” Graham replied slowly, choosing his words carefully.
My skin broke out in goosebumps. I paused, watching him narrow his eyes at me, then quickly fixed my gaze on the road.
“Tell me, what are you thinking?” Graham insisted, urgency clear in his voice.
“What if she claims that during the interrogation we touched her? I asked, slowing the car so I could turn my head and give him a certain look.
He understood immediately.
“No one will believe her, Elgin,” Graham replied. “We can say she was resisting and we had to force the cure out of her. She will not be able to prove anything. It is not like we would be doing anything wrong. Sometimes things get physical when people want results, especially us alphas. We go to war and get physical there p>
He continued making excuses, but I already knew what he was trying to justify. A familiar urge rose inside me.

I stayed behind on the road, checking my phone for any rules. There were none for rogues, but I wanted to be sure I did not make a mistake.

commented.
“Yes, so we want to go and question her for it,” I stated. After Graham gave a small hand gesture, his father nodded.
“I’ll send warriors with you. In fact, I’ll come with you myself. I want to see how she lies about not having a cure to my face,” Lord Eldon suggested.
Graham instantly turned to look at him.
It would ruin our plan. We were not bad people, and we were not thinking about doing anything illegal. We simply believed that physical force might be expected.
“No, Father, you don’t need to go there,” Graham replied, placing a hand on his shoulder. “You’ll see the children, and then there’s Lady Eugenia. They’ll question you. Just forget about it. We’ll handle it. Don’t worry p>
His father slowly removed Graham’s hand and placed his own hands on his waist.
“Both of you go for the cure,” he said firmly. “I’m not saying this because I think you’ll do something wrong. I’m saying it because I don’t want you doing anything stupid. Leave that woman alone p>
As he spoke in a stern tone, Graham and I shook our heads.
“Of course we’re not going to do anything p>
“I replied quickly. “That’s ridiculous p>
We defended ourselves at once, our expressions filled with offense.
“Well, then it’s fine,” Lord Eldon remarked. “I’ll let you go. Come back with the cure.‘ That settled it. The plan would be set in motion later that night when it got dark.
Still, I was confused about why Graham was not afraid of going up the mountain at night.
I asked him a few times, and he reassured me that we would be fine if we followed certain rules.
When I asked what those rules were, he told me I did not need to worry about it and that he would handle it himself.
Even so, I could not wait for night to arrive.
