Chapter 333
Elgin:
+25 Bonus
I don’t know what was worse, losing control and acting like a complete bastard in front of Madeline, or watching her rush to Baxter to comfort him.
I showed her how much of a failed alpha he was, that he could no longer protect her, yet the moment she had freedom, she ran to him. 2
The way she touched him, the way she hugged him, all of it affected me.
“I can’t believe you agreed to do this,” my wolf snapped, calling out my actions.
“I was influenced by Graham,” I replied. “I was afraid that if I didn’t go along with it, he would be the only one
I paused, realizing how weak that excuse sounded.
“Let’s not forget,” my wolf continued, “you were the one who rejected Madeline. You did not want her. You humiliated her, you humiliated our daughter, and now suddenly you want her. Suddenly you want to touch her. We had our chance, and we lost it. We lost the chance to ever be with her. I don’t understand why you are forcing this idea on her, and on yourself.” (1
My wolf kept talking, and I listened because I had made a mistake, and everything was ruined.
Things had been going smoothly after I rejected Madeline. I had convinced everyone that I made the right decision.
I had even convinced myself. But after last night, Madeline would think I still wanted her. 1
“And once again, you are thinking about the wrong things,” my wolf grunted. “You should be worried that you came out as a disappointment.” 1
When I stepped out of the car, I took a deep breath and headed toward the door.
Before I could move farther away from the warriors, I heard one of them speak, which made me stop.
“I was kind of looking forward to her taking off her top. She’s a gorgeous woman. Do you think we would have gotten a turn once the alphas were done with her?” one of my warriors remarked. 2
I snapped my head back and glared at him. The warrior beside him noticed my expression and tried to signal him to stop, but he was too caught up in his words to notice.
“What? I’m just saying. I was ready to jump in. She had curves in all the right places,” he continued.
The other warrior elbowed him sharply. Only then did he follow his gaze and look at me.
“Your Highness,” he stammered, bowing his head in respect.
“What did you just say? That you would touch Madeline?” I asked, stepping toward him. My voice stayed low, but anger burned inside me.
“No, no, I was just… I’m really sorry. I guess I got lost in my thoughts and spoke nonsense,” the warrior replied.

333–Siame Hos Found Me
He did not lift his eyes. The other warrior stepped away, likely sensing the intensity of my stare.
“You know she is not for sale,” I hissed, placing my hand on his shoulder and squeezing it hard enough to make him cry out in pain.
“I’m really sorry, Alpha. Think of it as me being insolent,” he pleaded, still keeping his eyes down.
“No. You should not have even thought about it,” I said. “Do you think she is a toy? Do you think I went there because I wanted to use her, because I wanted her body?” 2
I leaned closer as he began to crumble under the pressure of my grip. He dropped to his knees, and I lowered myself with him.
“ I went there not for her body, but because I wanted the cure,” I said, then paused.
The words sounded hollow even to me. I realized how wrong everything was. 1
I had made her remove her robe in front of so many men. I had almost touched her in front of them, raising dirty thoughts in their minds towards her.
A wave of disgust washed over me. I shoved him away and turned to the other warrior.
“You know what to do,” I whispered.
The warrior nodded and grabbed the one on the ground.
“No, Your Highness, I’m sorry. Please, I will never do that again,” he cried as he was dragged away. 1
I entered my home. The place was quiet, as if everyone had already fallen asleep.
I checked on my children and found them resting peacefully. Then I went into my bedroom, where Silver was sleeping as well.
For a moment, I felt relieved that the news had not reached her yet. Still, I wondered what would happen once everyone learned what we had done.
We went there to humiliate Madeline, but instead, our entire character was now going to be judged by that night.
I took a shower and lay down on the bed. That was when a message popped up on my screen.
Wife’s father: Meet me in the morning. I need to discuss the events that transpired after you decided to go to the mountain top to interrogate your ex.
As soon as I read the text, I clenched my jaw and let out a grunt.
It was not supposed to be this difficult. Why was everyone so adamant about dragging this topic further?
Nothing happened. It was a failed attempt, and it was not like we were going to do anything.
We were only going to make her strip to embarrass her. 3
Now, it seemed like everyone was using it as an excuse to take digs at us and enjoy the gossip. 1
