394–Big Mistakes
Yuvonne:
“So don’t worry, and don’t try to cry too much,” my mother told me. “She wasn’t your grandmother. Nobody will suspect you if you don’t cry p>
My mother kept talking, and it wasn’t just that her words were getting on my nerves, but also that I realized I was not alone.
There was someone standing with me. I also knew that one thing I always do is keep my phone set to a very loud volume.
Graham was standing in front of me, and Elgin was standing behind me. They were standin
“Mom, I’ll talk to you later, okay?” I said and ended the call immediately.
close.
“That’s strange. Why did you get so scared?” Graham asked, smiling as he slipped his hands into his pockets.
“Why would I be scared?” I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
“No, it’s just that you were probably talking to someone,” He remarked. “Sometimes voices come through the phone a little.” Graham smirked.
“Isn’t that odd?” Elgin added.
I turned around to face him.
“I don’t know what you people are talking about,” I said. “And right now, I’m in a lot of pain, so please don’t make it worse p>
I tried to dismiss them, and when I attempted to walk past them, Elgin stepped into my way.
“What kind of behavior is this?” I asked. I did not raise my voice, but my tone was firm.
“What’s wrong, Yuvonne?” Elgin replied. “We are alphas, and you’re an alpha’s wife. Why are you talking to us like this? You should speak to us properly. You never know when you might need us to get your husband released p>
Elgin’s words stopped me in my tracks. I stood there, staring at him.
“I know my husband is innocent,” I replied confidently. “He has not done anything wrong. So I don’t need anyone’s help. An innocent person will get released anyway”
I said this because I knew damn well Ron would never do something so ridiculous. But the look on their faces was filled with a scummy attitude.
Elgin licked his front teeth while smirking, and Graham lowered his head to chuckle. They were purposely doing this to get to me.
“And if you think you both smirking and chuckling would get to me, then you are wrong,” I snapped at them.
The two looked at each other and then began to smile.
“Come on, Yuvonne,” Graham remarked. “Why would we hurt you? I mean, we want you in your sane mind because you’re going to be taking care of Madeline, right p>
Graham slipped his hands into his pants pockets and hunched forward, almost getting too close to my face. It was close enough that I had to pull away from him. When I did, accidentally bumped into Elgin’s chest. I pulled back at once, making sure there was a good distance between us.
“Oh yeah, Madeline,” Elgin remarked. “She must be crying alone in her empty cold bed.” He clicked his tongue as
he spoke those words.

My heart started beating loudly just from hearing them talk about her. There was something off in their eyes when they mentioned her name.
“Oh, poor Madeline,” Graham uttered, placing a hand on his chest.
He slowly slipped it under his shirt and rubbed his bare skin while holding deep eye contact with me.
“If only she hadn’t been so stubborn, I would be so close to her right now, taking care of her in many different ways,” Graham continued, causing goosebumps to rise on my skin. 1
“You two are married, and so is she. Have some shame,” I snapped, my voice breaking.
“Oh, Yuvonne. You’re so not fun,” Graham remarked.
With that, Graham rolled his eyes and gave me a look that showed he was going to stop talk
Madeline.
“And I heard you are going to testify against us,” Elgin continued. “Think about it, Yuvonne. Right now, you should be on your husband’s side, not creating more enemies.” 2
I understood what his words meant, and I was scared. I was not that wise, nor was I confident enough to stand firmly with what was right or wrong.
When they started hinting that if I went against them, no one would save my husband, I immediately began to hesitate. (1
“Think about it,” Elgin said. “Our court hearing is tomorrow. I hope you’ll excuse us p>
Saying that, Elgin and Graham moved past me.
But the way Elgin deliberately brushed his arm against mine sent goosebumps through me.
Realizing they were going to stay at the hospital, I decided to leave. I could not deal with them.
The royal beta and gamma were going to stand guard outside Baxter’s room, with cameras pointed toward it and live coverage sent to the rest of the warriors, just in case someone tried to do something. 1
Once I was certain Baxter was in safe hands, I decided to go back home. I called my mother and told her not to come. I needed to get away from there for now.
