Chapter 345
345 –It Was Not A Myth
Madeline:
“What the heck was that?” Karla spoke up instantly, looking around.
My children ran back to hide in my and Baxter’s arms. Yuvonne and Ron stopped dancing. We all looked up, staring at the clouds above us.
“It was probably just the rumbling of the clouds,” Yuvonne’s father remarked.
As quickly as the tension had risen, it faded. Over the next ten minutes, the thunder proved that it really had been the clouds. We went back to eating.
There was all kinds of food prepared for the evening. I heard that some of the alphas had found out about the wedding and had sent dishes.
There was so much food that I knew my children would remember it for days.
We finished dinner in about half an hour, chatting and talking about plans after the wedding
Ron wanted to take Yuvonne on a honeymoon as soon as possible so he could return and help us with the pack. I
noticed that whenever he spoke about helping us, Baxter stayed quiet.
I understood why. Hearing that kind of talk was not easy for him. Still, he stayed calm and smiled.
He had always been hard to read.
“Goodnight,” Yuvonne told my children, kissing them on the cheek before stepping away.
I hugged her, smiling.
Ron and Baxter exchanged a few words.
“May you have many happy days and nights ahead,” I told Yuvonne. She gave my hand a gentle squeeze.
The warriors were already carrying her belongings out of the cabin. I saw Yuvonne turn to look back at it before facing me again.
“Do not think we will leave and forget about you,” she said softly. “We will not rest until something is done for you and your family p>
I noticed how her parents disliked every moment she spoke to me. In their eyes, I was still their enemy.
“Do not worry about us,” I replied. “Go and enjoy your life first p>
She shook her head. “I will not forget about you.
Then she stepped away. Her parents were already walking down the path. After I congratulated Ron, he left as well.
The warriors cleaned the area within half an hour.
When we went back inside, I noticed that Lady Eugenia and Lord Jonah had finally come out of their rooms, only
to eat.

They had not come out to congratulate anyone, but they were more than ready to enjoy the wedding food. Lady Eugenia and Lord Jonah ate their dinner without speaking to us. They did not interact with anyone. Baxter and I took the kids inside and helped them change and get ready for the night.
When I stepped back out, I noticed that Lady Eugenia had left all the food on the table, including the dirty dishes. She had not lifted a spoon or cleared anything. Before, Yuvonne had been taking care of her needs.
Now she was probably expecting me to do it.
“You don’t need to do it,” Baxter told me from behind, his voice soft, as if he had sensed my thoughts.
“It’s fine. It’s not something I feel ashamed of,” I replied, gesturing to reassure him. Still, he reached for the dishes anyway.
At the same time, Elara stepped out of the room, looking upset.
“What is it?” I asked, kneeling in front of her and gently cupping her face. “ Why are you crying p>
“Mommy, I left my teddy bear outside,” she said, her voice shaking.
“It’s okay. We can get it tomorrow,” I replied, but she immediately shook her head.
“No. I like to sleep with my teddy bear,” she insisted.
“You stay here. I’ll go get it,” Baxter said, gesturing toward me while holding the dishes.
“No, it’s okay,” I said. “It’s probably right near the tree p>
I took Elara’s hand and walked her toward the door.
“You stay here. I’ll get it for you, okay?” I told her before stepping outside.
The cold breeze hit me immediately. The storm had grown worse, and the air stung my skin like tiny needles.
I hugged myself, stepped off the porch, and walked toward the large tree. Just as I expected, the teddy bear was there.
I picked it up and turned, only to see Elara stepping outside.
“Mommy, did you find it?” she asked softly.
“Elara, what are you doing outside?” I frowned. “It’s cold. You’ll get sick p>
I handed her the teddy bear and lifted her into my arms, turning back toward the house.
Then a loud growl echoed again, and this time I knew it was not the clouds.
“Mommy, what was that?” Elara asked, looking around.
I froze for only a second before running.

I rushed toward the porch with Elara in my arms, but it felt like something was flying behind me.
I heard wings beating hard through the air. The sound made my skin prickle, but I did not stop. What stopped me were claws. Something large brushed against my back and shoulders, like a massive bird trying to grab me.
1 dropped my body low to avoid it, tripped over a rock, and fell to the ground. Elara rolled a short distance away
from me.
“Elara!” I shouted, scrambling up.
“Mommy, what is going on?” she cried.
Everything happened too fast. I reached Elara and covered her with my body just as claws scraped across my back. That still was not the worst part.
I saw Bodhi come out of the house. He had just stepped outside when he tripped and fell. As he did, the winged creature attacked him.
